0:09
what i don't even know okay anyway to the tech news on monday
0:13
we reported on rumors about new processors and chipsets from AMD and now
0:17
the hype train has officially left the station specs for AMD's upcoming ryzen
0:21
3000 series lineup have apparently been leaked numerous sources put out
0:25
information but the most cohesive source was youtuber adore tv who detailed 10
0:30
new processors ranging from the six core 12 thread ryzen 3 300 with an msrp of
0:36
100 to the 16 core 32 thread ryzen 9 38
0:40
50x boy that's a lot of numbers which will sell for 4.99 the higher end models
0:45
boost up to and around 5 gigahertz that sounds spicy
0:48
how is that spicy spicy it's just 5 is a
0:52
cold temperature it doesn't matter what scale you're fat a 5 looks like an s
0:56
spicy anyways okay anyway the new processors
1:01
are reportedly built on the zen 2 architecture and if these rumors are
1:04
true and not just pure conjecture thrown to the internet to confuse and make
1:07
fools out of us all because that's never happened before we'll get an official look at these chips at ces 2019 down in
1:13
vegas in january right after valve announced they reduced their 30 sales
1:18
cup for very popular games on steam epic games arrived with a tantalizing
1:22
counteroffer the developer of fortnite and gears of war announced the epic game
1:26
store which will offer 88 percent of game sales revenue to developers keeping
1:31
only a 12 percent cut for themselves the closest developers could get to that
1:35
kind of revenue sharing on steam is by selling over 10 million copies of the
1:39
game which brings foul's cut down to 25 which is still like twice as much more
1:43
than twice as much so okay selling over 50 million copies brings it down to 20
1:48
the epic game store also weighs royalty fees for games built using the unreal
1:52
engine which should entice developers even further to consider selling on the
1:55
new marketplace maybe this will teach valve to care less about money and make
1:59
good games again like artifact which is
2:03
a car it's a card game it's a card game i've never heard of it riley just wrote
2:07

were invited to the qualcomm snapdragon technology summit in hawaii yesterday
2:26
for a luau just kidding but they were shown a number of devices purportedly
2:30
using 5g technology but speed tests weren't super impressive and interaction
2:34
with some devices was very limited so they might as well have been running on
2:38
happy thoughts i guess like peter pan yes like peter pan okay wow that has
2:43
been a long time but okay the devices on show include the phones from both
2:46
samsung and motorola as well as hot spots from at t and verizon samsung's

used the summit to unveil the new snapdragon 855 chipset which will
2:58
support 5g and processing speeds faster than the snapdragon 845 which you can
3:03

time they've decided to acknowledge the superiority of chrome and we'll be
4:12
building a new browser using google's open source chromium rendering engine
4:17
hopefully it'll use just as much if not more RAM that's how you know it's good
4:21
more RAM more better download more RAM just
4:24
download more it's fine in other google news the company is
4:28
launching flutter a ui toolkit and sdk that will allow open source
4:32
cross-platform development in less vague terms that means developers could build
4:36
one version of their app and have it run on say iOS and Android with minimal
4:40
tweaks there's also speculation that google is getting developers to adopt
4:43
flutter because it will allow compatibility with the company's fuchsia
4:47
os a mobile and desktop operating system in secret development
