ah never gets old does it tech news
0:04
i love it that's not what riley wrote for the
0:08
intro he loves it that's the important thing NVIDIA has
0:12
unveiled the desktop gtx 1650 graphics
0:16
card alongside 16 series laptops initial
0:20
impressions of the 1650 seem to be
0:23
not super good maybe that's why we didn't get a review sample
0:27
while the budget card is much more power efficient than the competing rx 570 with
0:32
quite a few variants available without a 6 pin power connector most of the time
0:37
the 1650 lags behind the 570 by about 10
0:41
while being slightly more expensive and on top of that instead of the
0:46
turing-based nvinc encoder found in the rtx lineup and the gtx 1660 the 1650 has
0:53
the older volta-based encoder meaning it
0:56
performs about 15 worse in live streaming you know what i
1:01
think the positive takeaway is here though it was really nice of NVIDIA to just
1:06
throw AMD a bone on the low end wasn't it wow they're just they're such nice
1:10
people jensen with his leather jacket so nice
1:14
uh as we mentioned the company also managed to get 16 series graphics into
1:18
over 80 different gaming laptops from the likes of acer lenovo dell razer MSI
1:23
and ASUS so i guess maybe that's what happened like they cut down the power so much
1:29
because it was like more about the laptops yeah and that's a good plan it's
1:33
kind of like how i make all my meals into smoothies
1:37
it's less energy for chewing that's smart now today is actually a bit of a
1:40
double whammy for chip announcements because Intel also took the wraps off of
1:45
the rest of its 9th gen processor lineup
1:48
the company unveiled new h-series laptop processors as well as desktop celeron
1:54
pentium and core models 34 desktop cpus were announced all
1:59
together so there are now many more f variants with no integrated graphics
2:04
along with t variants with 35 watt tdps
2:07
at their base clocks as for the mobile parts they were led by the overclockable
2:12
core i9 9980hk with eight cores
2:16
16 threads a turbo frequency of 4.9
2:19
gigahertz and a 45 watt TDP it's apparently so impressive that it's
2:24
worth Intel starting a new category of mobile pc's muscle books
2:29
muscle books oh morty i mean get that productivity i guess it
2:35
sounds cooler than desktop replacement
2:39
that's like swole you know and to cap off the chip related news
2:44
tesla announced that they have finished development of their own self-driving
2:49
processor the full self-driving or fsd chip
2:53
consists of two duplicate systems on the same board each with a central processor
2:58
made of 12 ARM a72 modules a neural
3:01
network processor and a GPU altogether they claim the system is
3:06
capable of 144 trillion operations per second at a
3:11
TDP of just 100 watts the company also
3:14
claims that they are halfway done designing the chip's successor and that
3:19
by mid-2020 tesla drivers will not have to pay attention to the road at all
3:24
they also plan to launch a robo taxi service next year which tesla owners can
3:29
add their vehicles to gaining extra income by letting their autonomous
3:32
vehicle bury other people around while they're at work
3:36
well i gotta give it to him mr musk is nothing if not ambitious i wonder if
3:41
there's a way to make users of this robo taxi service wash their hands before
3:44
they get in my car a lot of people are yeah they're not clean not that i own a
3:48
tesla i'm too cheap for that speaking of cheap it's time for the cheap beats

4:22
vincerowatches.com techlinked or you can just click the
4:25
link below on to the cheap beats now we've known for a while that google's
4:30
pixel 3a and 3axl
4:33
are on the way but new leaks have given us our clearest look yet at the new
4:37
devices and they look like pixels but with no notches and
4:43
bigger bezels also it's likely they will have headphone jacks which are missing
4:48
from the mainline pixel 3s they also will almost certainly launch on may 7th
4:53
at the google i o conference so uh let's hope that they're cheap just like our
4:57
beats or else what would be the point other than if you want a pixel with a
5:02
headphone jack that does seem like that's a point
5:06
speaking of points despite the cia's recent report that huawei is funded by
5:10
chinese intelligence the uk has given the company the go ahead to build out
5:15
british 5g infrastructure but because of
5:18
the significant security concerns that
5:21
the uk found with huawei's operations previously the rollout will be limited
5:26
to the edge and not integrated into the core of its 5g systems now you might ask
5:32
what's the point of that see i was going somewhere with that segway well if you
5:36
stood to save 6.8 billion pounds you might be willing to take the same risk
5:42
at t has reached a settlement in the lawsuit over its 5g e icons sprint sued
5:48
the company claiming that since 5ge isn't real 5g it hurts sprint's 5g
5:54
branding but now reports are saying that at t somehow convinced sprint to let it
6:00
keep using this fake 5g branding i just
6:03
what could they have given them to make them happier
6:06
must have been like it must have been big like a big bag of uh
6:11
good intentions we're kidding we're kidding we're
6:14
kidding it was probably money uh and NVIDIA might be working on a new shield
6:19
tablet and it might be a two-in-one device if code found in the company's
6:22
shield experience software is any indication the device is apparently
6:26
codenamed and it could operate as a laptop if you
6:30
attach a keyboard and that's great because the last great Android tablet
6:34
was yeah probably the previous shield tablet
6:37
so it's high time we got a refresh although i do have my misgivings about
6:42
Android as a as a notebook experience hey man give it a chance speaking of
6:47
androids researchers at mit have developed a synthetic material that
6:52
could potentially be used by androids as
6:55
like muscles and even strengthened by working
7:00
out so these are called polyvinyl alcohol
7:03
hydrogels and don't worry because robots will almost certainly be
7:08
using them to rip your head off soon enough wait i said don't worry maybe
7:11
we'll see them in the muscle books and that's it if i don't want my head to be
7:15
ripped off i better end this episode thanks for watching everybody it's going to be quite some time before the tech
7:20
news comes back around again but you've got to be patient yeah that
7:24
doesn't work because you didn't do my intro yeah i'm joking it's going to be friday yeah so you're
7:29
your ending joke was bad anyway just get out of here
