- The season really slowed down and I've lost interest I don't care who wins.
0:04
Down to the Tech News. (man laughs) Reviews for AMD's Ryzen 5000 Series processors are up
0:09
from many tech creators, including Linus Tech Tips. And I think there's are the best
0:12
for completely objective reasons. You know, what else is objective? The fact that these chips (beep) slam!
0:17
Not only do they destroy their predecessors, the Ryzen 3000 series,
0:21
but in some cases, the lowest NCPU, the Ryzen 5 5600X
0:25
beats Intel's Core i9-10900K.
0:29
I actually pulled my hamstring there. But any launch in 2020 is gonna have some hiccups.
0:33
And there are some indications that, like previous Ryzen generations,
0:37
memory speed can have an impact on performance. AMD is working on further optimizations
0:41
that will be released as BIOS updates. Scalpers have also struck once again
0:45
and you can currently find these new processors on eBay
0:48
for thousands of dollars instead of hundreds. But regardless, AMD has hit it out of the park here
0:53
faster and further than ever before. Making it look like even with Rocket Lakes
0:57
supposed IPC improvements, Intel might have a hard time staying competitive in 2021.
1:03
We'll all be lucky to just be in 2021 (laughs)
1:07
So at the end of the day, yeah, who cares? - [Man] Come on, say it.
1:11
- That's the way of the dingle hopper dangles. (Man applauding)
1:14
Apple is expected to unveil the first Mac books built with its in-house Apple Silicon processors, next week.
1:17
An Apple insider claimed to have inside information
1:22
about how they'll perform. - [Man] Well that's what they do. - The site found geek bench results
1:26
for the A14 X, which is a variant of the A14 found in the new iPhone 12s and iPad air.
1:31
Which show the chip beating the A14 and an Intel core i9 powered Mac
1:35
in both single and multistarter benchmarks. Sure these chips will be running the new ARM-based version
1:40
of macOS. So if they can't get the emulation right, this horsepower will be for nothing.
1:44
And don't forget that this is just a rumor right now.
1:48
The Apple insider can't even verify the benchmarks even really happened.
1:51
So, I'm sure that's what Intel is telling themselves. As they prepare to have their laptops chips beaten
1:57
by an overgrown smartphone processor. - [Man] It's for baby. - They suck. They're just getting attacked everywhere.
2:02
- [Man] Oh, what the... - And it looks like Epic is getting some help from NVIDIA
2:05
in their fight to bring fortnight back to iOS.
2:08
The BBC, which is a broadcast channel says (chuckles)
2:12
NVIDIA has developed a web app version of its cloud gaming service GeForce NOW.
2:16
Which will allow iOS users to play the game through the Safari web browser,
2:21
along with many other games that are better than Fortnite. - [Man] Oh thank goodness.
2:24
If this is true, NVIDIA would not only be the latest cloud gaming company to try and skip the app store
2:29
and it's 30% of revenue cut by making a service available through a web browser.
2:32
Amazon Luna uses this method and unofficial Stadia browser app was available
2:36
until Apple took it down. And Microsoft is apparently looking into this
2:39
as a way to bring X cloud to iOS. The BBC claims NVIDIA's web app will be announced
2:44
before the winter holidays. So iPhone Fortnite players may finally get to perform
2:48
their stupid dances just in time to make Christmas
2:51
worse for everybody. (man jeering ) Just find a new game, there's so much time.
2:55
Now it's time for the quick bids brought to you by Redux, a PC builder, striving to PC gaming to the masses.
3:01
Redux will build you a PC with no markup pricing. You pay the same price you would
3:05
if you were buying components directly and Redux only charges a $75 bill fee.
3:09
Select your budget, pick your games, see how they perform on your hardware, and Redux's expert builders will handle the rest.
3:14
They don't cut corners on quality so all of the builds come with a two year warranty.
3:18
So click the link in the description and start creating your PC today.
3:22
Do it or else you're procrastinating like a bozo. Ooh, quick bit. (Man laughing)
3:29
The PlayStation 5 is just launching real soon but the hype is being diminished somewhat.
3:32
If you wanted to pre-order you probably won't be able to get it or the new X-Box in stores on launch day.
3:39
Also at the PS5 doesn't support 1440p natively.
3:42
Sorry people who play PlayStation on a monitor, there's dozens of us.
3:46
And also it turns out Godfall, is only a six month PS5 exclusive.
3:51
On the other hand, at least the PS5 has exclusives,
3:54
since basically all the X-Box ones have been delayed to next year.
3:58
Have you heard of a PC though? - [Man] I hear they're good. - They got Ray tracing.
4:02
Okay, sorry. One more election story. Social media platforms are continuing to weather
4:06
the massive surge of misinformation that has sprung up this week, with Facebook and TikToK outright
4:10
blocking the hashtags stop the steal and sharpie gate.
4:14
- [Man] Yep. - Twitter isn't blocking anything but is slapping more labels on tweets,
4:18
than the flex tape guy slapped that flex tape on tubs of water.
4:22
- [Man] Is there another more pertinent meme about slapping things?
4:25
- Did he do that more than once? - [Man] I don't know. - He's got so many tanks.
4:29
Do you like to text people while you're drunk and then regret it later? Well WhatsApp is rolling out a feature
4:33
that will allow users to set their messages to self delete after seven days.
4:37
But WhatsApp is owned by Facebook. So the word deleted here might mean something more like
4:41
plucked and deposited into a box Mark Zuckerberg keeps under his bed. (chuckles)
4:45
Just cries over it. (imitating crying) Your data, gives him strength, in exchange, are his tears,
4:50
which gives me strength. Soon he will transcend us all, and I will be his Valkyrie.
4:55
Netflix is testing a new linear TV style channel called
4:59
Direct, in France. The channel will play assorted shows, documentaries, movies
5:04
apparently without the ability to rewind. Which is weird because you can do that with TV now
5:11
if you could find someone who even has it. It's going back to our roots as a species.
5:15
When we bashed rocks together, you can't rewind rocks. - [Man] True, I try it.
5:19
- And after the hacker game Watchdogs Legion had its source code hacked,
5:23
GitHub has had its source code leaked and posted on GitHub.
5:28
This isn't actually that big of a deal because the source code was actually already available.
5:31
But if GitHub was posted on GitHub, that means that there's an infinite series of GitHubs
5:35
within GitHubs all the way down. And tampering with it could lead to
5:39
the universe's destruction and a GitHub boot loop paradox.
5:44
If your grandfather invented GitHub, you won't be born.
5:48
(popping) - That's the end of this episode, come back on Monday.
5:54
James? I feel him. He's still here.
