friday's supposed to be a good day i'm having like the worst day ever between
0:04
Windows updates and components ripping off motherboards the only thing that
0:07
could make me feel better would be some kind of special
0:11
uh unboxing like to do with the techlinked channel
0:17
is that what we're going to do at the at the end of this video oh you said it AMD
0:22
has created a custom system on chip for a chinese console made by the company
0:28
zhongshan which wow you put right in the script
0:32
that's not how you say it how do you know i didn't get it perfectly right
0:36
the chip has four zen cores and 24 vega
0:39
compute units with eight gigs of gddr5 embedded memory that makes it similar to
0:44
other chips that AMD has made for the xbox one and the ps4 as well as Intel's
0:50
processors with integrated rx vega cores
0:53
subor plans to integrate the chip in a Windows
0:57
pc in late august and then a console by
1:00
the end of the year i love these guys already they have acknowledged that
1:04
consoles are just pcs and they're going well you know what uh don't we just put
1:07
it in both people seem to be excited about this online so maybe we'll get a
1:12
western knockoff of a chinese product
1:17
the amount of leaks and rumors about the gtx 1180 or 2080 or whatever it's going
1:22
to be called they're getting ridiculous at this point the latest news is that a
1:26
gtx 2080 and 2070 were registered by tech company man
1:32
lee with the eurasian economic commission or the ecc
1:36
the listing has been taken down now but
1:40
an image of what is supposedly a pcb for
1:43
the 2080 has leaked with tighter vram
1:46
placements for dddr6 memory and some type of new connector on the top does
1:52
that mean sli scaling will be better will these cards run at 4k 144 hertz
1:58
will people just wait for the card to launch so we can stop
2:02
wildly speculating this is my wildly speculating hand
2:06
gesture wildly why it's wild
2:10
and tesla is hoping that that the
2:13
tesla is hoping that Linus will manage to see the news about their company
2:17
without screwing it up they're hoping that they have the smarts
2:21
to build their very own ai chip elon musk mentioned in the company's earnings
2:26
call that tesla is working on doing just that now they've used chips from NVIDIA
2:31
up until this point but making their own hardware is apparently why they swiped
2:36
chip engineer pete bannon from apple in 2016. musk says that using an in-house
2:42
chip will allow tesla to better integrate and utilize ai for autonomous
2:47
driving though personally i suspect this is probably a cost saving measure
2:52
because nobody likes paying the NVIDIA tax
2:56
yeah now it's time for a story so small you
3:00
can't see them brought to you by private internet access which is so private you
3:04
can't see it look there's no lower third you can't you can't see it the lights are off you
3:09
can't see me if if you're looking for an easy to use
3:12
vpn solution that gives you real privacy like taking off in a starship to the
3:17
andromeda galaxy okay look no further than pia they've got servers in 28
3:21
countries to help you get around geo-blocking multiple options for strong
3:24
encryption dns leak protection to protect your browsing history and even
3:27
pia mace which is a built-in eye-wateringly amazing solution for
3:33
uh stopping trackers and malware
3:36
for uh check it out the link below on to the nudes
3:40
or as i call it the naked news prove i'm wearing pants you can't french startup
3:45
blade is bringing its shadow game streaming service to 19 states in the
3:50
u.s on august 9th for 35 bucks a month
3:53
after it launched in california earlier this year so check it out
3:58
if you're a quitter i mean just giving up on building your own pc just like
4:03
that it's disgusting it's disgusting
4:07
motorola has unveiled the moto z3 speaking of not being a quitter for some
4:11
reason and it's a verizon exclusive but
4:14
there will be a moto mod available in the future that will enable 5g
4:18
capability so it could technically be
4:21
the world's first 5g phone
4:24
if motorola actually builds any mods for it
4:28
because they've got a bit of a spotty track record on that
4:31
and the reviews are out for microsoft's cheaper surface go and they're kind of
4:35
all over the place they're on the verge they're on gizmodo they're on the Linus
4:40
tech tips channel where we live streamed an unboxing everyone seems to agree that
4:44
the processor is very slow i fix it gave
4:47
it a one out of ten for repairability but in terms of the actual build quality
4:52
of the thing it's really impressive for 400 bucks
4:56
we might do a review people in the comments really wanted a review but
4:59
sometimes i feel like they think they want things they don't actually want so
5:04
like everyone and after some false reports based on inaccurate stock
5:08
numbers apple has indeed finally achieved their goal of becoming
5:13
the first public u.s company to hit one
5:17
trillion dollars in market value i think
5:20
that means that we legally have to take back every critical thing we've ever
5:24
said about them doesn't it no no we don't
5:27
oh i said finally i always get it right i always say finally on the right one
5:31
have you noticed that it's never in the script but i say finally and i get it right but there's another news story in
5:36
a real shocker fancy pc casemaker inwin
5:39
has made another fancy case for the pc it's called the 915 and it is complete
5:44
with motorized top vents that rise up to
5:47
increase cooling or something why don't you just have them open all
5:51
the time you could just have them open all the time and then your cooling would
5:54
be fantastic and now it's time for a special moment
5:58
