wow i thought i was out of the tech news game but
0:04
just keep pulling me back in surely 28
0:07
cores would be enough for any server CPU right well Intel disagrees as it's just
0:12
announced cascade lake line of xeon processors not only has an incredibly
0:16
refreshing code name but it also features up to 48 cores on a single chip
0:22
that's 16 more than AMD's competing epic series Intel also stated that the new
0:26
chips were retooled and don't suffer from the well-publicized spectre and
0:31
meltdown vulnerabilities although these chips were made on a 14-9 meter process
0:35
just like epic Intel is unsurprisingly claiming that they're more than three
0:39
times that's two three times as fast as AMD's offerings in certain tasks which
0:44
i'm sure will be what the average user experiences in the real world so it
0:49
looks like more cores is now the name of the game Intel's kind of pulling an AMD
0:54
here hey riley how many cores does it take to
0:57
screw in a light bulb 48 so this is the answer how many 48 cores
1:02
per light bulb cores don't have hands this is stupid remind me to never ask
1:05
you a knock knock joke in the roughly 5th
1:10
is the roughly 15 terabyte max capacity of today's hard drives just not enough
1:15
for you well seagate thinks that it can bring drives that hold a hundred
1:19
terabytes to market by 2025 or in roughly 182 fortnites that many video
1:25
games not the game the unit of time the new drives will use heat assisted
1:30
magnetic recording or hammer which works by heating small areas of the drive
1:34
platter with tiny lasers allowing data to be stored accurately at high
1:38
densities although we could actually see hammer products on the market before the
1:42
end of this year or maybe even early next year capacities will probably be
1:46
limited to around 16 terabytes for the time being but as the tech progresses
1:51
drives in the 50 terabyte range could appear in the next two or three years
1:55
and after that well it's hammer time
2:02
amazon is trying to spread some early holiday cheer by getting rid of the 25
2:07
minimum purchase requirement for free shipping sure to come in handy for those
2:11
of you without prime when shopping for gifts at least if you're in the us but
2:15
if you are a prime member don't fret because amazon's giving you a perk too
2:19
same day shipping for free on over 3 million items the promotion is gonna run
2:24
from now until shortly before christmas and although amazon might might end up
2:28
taking a hit on shipping costs for cheap gifts the company seems to be betting
2:32
that this will convince more people to sign up for prime or they're just
2:36
getting into the holiday spirit halloween's over so that means it's christmas right right now it's christmas
2:40

5g smartphones next year but if you're an apple fan expect to wait until 2020
4:02
and for them to then claim that they invented it the company is reportedly
4:05
having problems with heat generated by Intel's 5g modems and may switch to
4:09
another supplier to avoid turning the next generation of apple products into
4:13
pies a hot apple just cause they're pies
4:17
cause they're apples a hot apple isn't a pie a hot apple is just a hot apple but
4:20

the store not looking where you're going great hopefully ushering in a new era of
4:33
unconscionable laziness the project is currently being developed for a south
