here at techlinked we always stay on top of the news so we can help you guys get
0:04
to the bottom of what's most important which is right right in the middle
0:08
detect new sandwich
0:12
delicious and you know what the meat in this sandwich is today well Intel just
0:17
dropped a bunch of product announcements now we first heard about the company's
0:21
cascade lake xeon ap processors back in november where Intel announced that they
0:26
would be producing a dual die chip with
0:29
48 cores and 96 threads but
0:32
turns out the joke was on us because the top tier platinum
0:37
9282 model will actually have 56 cores
0:41
and 112 threads Intel is also refreshing
0:45
the xeon sp line with cascade lake architecture which brings with it
0:49
support for octane memory also accordingly Intel is finally launching
0:55
optane dc persistent memory in the form
0:58
of 128 256 or
1:01
512 Gigabyte dimms which servers will be
1:05
able to use alongside traditional ddr4
1:10
finally also announced today was the Intel 800 series a pci express card that
1:16
will support 100 gigabit Ethernet and finally again
1:22
perhaps most interesting was Intel's agilex
1:26
agelex an fpga built on their 10 nanometer
1:31
process with support for ddr5 and pci
1:34
express 5.0 pci 5.0 i can't wait to game
1:38
on that i didn't even know that was a thing yet
1:41
valve has confirmed that all those leaks leaky valve about their vr headset that
1:47
sprang up a few days ago are legit
1:50
twitter user wario 64 discovered a steam
1:53
page that was inadvertently set live with the valve index set to be unveiled
2:00
on may 1st and then released on june 15th now there weren't many notable
2:05
details listed except for a mention of displayport 1.2 and usb 3 connectors so
2:12
i guess that virtual link connector isn't going to stick um and also valve's
2:17
prototype knuckle vr controllers are being renamed to index controllers and
2:22
then will presumably launch alongside the headset
2:26
previous leaks have indicated that the index will have some sort of
2:30
front-facing connector for various immersion enhancing attachments like a
2:35
smellotron so you know what maybe maybe just maybe we
2:39
will finally be able to directly inhale gordon freeman's musk
2:43
although they have to make a new half-life for that
2:46
doesn't matter to me i'm excited facebook this week was reportedly asking
2:50
new users to enter their email password
2:53
in order to register for the social network that would be the password for
2:58
their actual email not their password
3:01
for their facebook account that's associated with their email address
3:06
facebook's reasoning for this was that rather than you waiting to get a
3:10
confirmation email then click the link to confirm
3:14
facebook could just check your email for you and automatically confirm your
3:20
account yeah oh that makes sense
3:23
the company said they weren't storing users email passwords but like this is
3:28
facebook
3:32
do i have to say anything else the feature has now been disabled but like
3:36
for crying out loud like maybe this is the reason mark zuckerberg just wrote an
3:41
op-ed in the washington post asking governments to regulate facebook
3:46
we can't do it ourselves we're out of control we can't stop
3:51
we're like the gambler with the addiction
3:54
now it's time for big clips brought to you by brilliant everyday brilliant
3:59

into the world of math logic science engineering or computer science so
4:07
whether you're stuck in a commute or you just want to learn something new every
4:10
day brilliant daily problems are a fun bite-sized way to master concepts by
4:15
applying them each problem comes with illustrations animations or interactive

5:01
unanimously celebrated when borderlands 3 was announced last week but those
5:05
cheers have now turned into size
5:09
as gearbox announced that the game will be a six-month epic game store exclusive
5:15
epic games has successfully introduced competition into the pc gaming store
5:19
landscape along with a split in the pc
5:22
gaming community was it worth it tim
5:25
i really hope it was come on personally i think it was probably worth it because
5:30
many many buckets of million dollar bills but but was it
5:35
yes yes it was and Intel has poached yet
5:39
another executive from a rival tech company this time it's george davis the
5:45
now former chief financial officer of qualcomm who will fill the same role at
5:50
Intel i mean soon enough Intel's going to have absorbed enough tech companies
5:54
to form like one super
5:58
tech company that will reign over silicon valley as like the ultimate
6:03
philosopher king that maybe
6:06
maybe they'll eventually make a graphics card oh no it's happening already
6:11
and apple just released their second gen airpods but they've already gone in one
6:15
up to themselves with the beats powerbeats pro true wireless earbuds
6:21

6:25
upgrades and a more secure fit so your 200 investment doesn't fall out of your
6:30
ears i mean first they cancel the air power and now this it seems like apple
6:34
is like it's like it's like pikachu you know
6:37
it uses thing that it does and it hurts itself
6:40
and it's confusion you know yeah okay yeah yeah sure speaking of confusion i
6:44

6:53
of schedule users in parts of chicago and minneapolis will be able to take
6:57
advantage of the service although they will need a motorola moto z3 with the 5g
7:03
moto mod or i mean or they could use
7:07
att's 5g service with any phone because
7:12
not 5g oh oops
