tech news is great but you can have too much of a good thing
0:04
and that's computex first off Intel they showed off their
0:08
much hyped core i7 8086k limited edition
0:12
CPU and it's basically an 8700k that can
0:15
boost to 5 gigahertz so it's cool but don't get your knickers in a twist over
0:19
it what you do have my permission to nick or twist over is Intel's 28 core
0:23
processor running at 5 gigahertz while that's certainly impressive a number of
0:27
astute observers at computex got a peek at the actual system Intel was using and
0:31
it appears to be a xeon platinum 8180 server processor with an unlocked
0:36
multiplier multiplier and it was running so hot
0:40
they needed a full on ac unit to cool the thing so maybe this was just a janky
0:45
way for them to demo 28 cores at 5 gigahertz but at the very least it's
0:49
kind of sketchy until if you were attempting to show up AMD it didn't
0:53
didn't quite work sorry indeed it was AMD that was doing the showing up as
0:58
they showed off a 32 core 2nd gen threadripper CPU built using 12
1:03
nanometer zenplus architecture but they didn't stop there they also unveiled the
1:06
world's first 7 nanometer GPU with 32 gigs of hbm memory which will launch
1:12
later this year as part of the Radeon instinct line aimed at professionals and
1:16
ai use cases later it will also come in a gaming focus package so don't worry
1:20
about that also there's a Radeon vega 56
1:23
nano which was rumored for a while leading up to computex but more importantly AMD is also using a seven
1:29
nanometer process in its zen 2 processors which are in Labs right now
1:33
the first chips will be server oriented epic models launching next year well if
1:37
we were going by pure newsworthy announcement it looks like AMD takes the
1:41
cake today but will that cake run once you bring it home and plug it in you
1:45
never know you never know with cakes don't know with AMD cakes some cakes run
1:50
in some cakes don't and i thought ASUS was done on monday but they just kept
1:54
rolling announcing the zenbook pro 15 with an Intel movidius visual processing
1:59
unit for ai stuff and the screen pad a
2:02
touchscreen trackpad which i'm sure will be useful in in some way no one asked
2:08
for this no we didn't
2:12
the zenbook s is a fancy looking yet durable notebook that raises the
2:16
keyboard up when it's opened the zen aio pro is an all-in-one with built-in qi
2:20
charging and the vivo watch bp is the first smart watch to measure blood
2:24
pressure which almost excuses it's looking like a badly poured pancake like
2:29
when you pour pancake mixture on the on the grill and it kind of looks doesn't
2:33
how can you pour bath it just it looks weird ASUS actually had one
2:37
more big thing he announced but first it's quick bits brought to you by our
2:41
t-shirts and stuff you can't get this t-shirt anymore so that's kind of
2:46
unfortunate it was a limited edition but if you're partial to our awesome logo
2:49
which i love click the link down below to get TechLinked shirts hoodies
2:53
stickers and a sense of belonging you never quite had with any other fast and
2:56
silly tech news show don't worry we got you alright quick
3:00
bits time dual screen notebooks are apparently the next big thing lenovo's
3:04
2nd gen yoga book and ASUS project precog both ditched the keyboard and
3:09
trackpad for another touch screen and Intel is also working on a smaller
3:13
handheld dual screen device codenamed tiger rapids a seuss offering will even
3:17
move the keyboard around depending on where your fingers are which i'm sure
3:21
will be super helpful and not irritating at all like me
3:26
you're great hey that was a dig at me qualcomm snapdragon
3:32
835 already powers some Windows two and ones but the new snapdragon 850 is
3:36
specifically intended for such devices with some specific enhancements tailored
3:40
for Windows 10. samsung will launch a snapdragon-powered Windows device later
3:44
this year whether or not anyone cares
3:48
yeah cooler master's inception project achieved its goal of building the
3:52
biggest water cooled pc ever and looks like it did so with the help of one
3:56
hundred thousand dollars dollars can be very helpful for these kind of things
4:00
rocket has debuted debuted come on rocket has debuted their own custom
4:05
switch the titan inside of their new super cool looking vulcan mechanical
4:09
keyboard titan switches are apparently tactile but quiet sort of like cherry mx
4:14
browns or play-doh but will it be as tasty as play-doh
4:19
can't decide between a mini tower or a full tower for your next pc build get
4:23
you a case that can do both with the rio toro morpheus which can transform
4:27
between the two size standards it can be just as fickle and indecisive as you
4:32
that's rude and microsoft has sunk a data center off the coast of scotland as
4:37
part of project natick an initiative to cut electricity costs by using the ocean
4:41
as cooling and not because they thought that's a normal thing to do with data
4:45
centers usually water is bad for computers you sound salty
4:55
