Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Nvidia, AMD, and Intel FACE OFF!”.
Okay, filming Tech Linked on a Tuesday feels wrong., I’m not happy about this. [ James ], I am CES 2021 is now in full swing. Or one quarter swing. Since tech companies are making virtually all of their announcements. Virtually.
Did you like that [ James ], Yeah. Nah, But a pandemic can’t stop them from making wild claims to stir up excitement.. So, let’s start with AMD, who announced their Ryzen 5000 series mobile processors during a keynote, this morning. Laptops will be releasing in Q1 for major players like Asus, HP and Lenovo featuring the new chips which range from the lowly four-core eight-thread Ryzen, 3 5300U to the beastly Eight-Core 16-thread Ryzen, 9 5980HX.
[ James ], Beast wars, Yeah, beast wars AMD has said these chips will be the fastest mobile processors. You can get showing a slide comparing one of their top chips to Intel’s current 10th and 11th gen offerings., But Intel also had a press conference. Today. Uh, oh Announcing that they’re 35 and 45 watt 11th gen mobile CPUs, would also launch in Q1.. Oh no, who will win this battle of the mobile chips? The answer is [ James ], Apple Team, green, obviously wasn’t happy letting team, blue and red have all the spotlight today., So they made their own announcement. Also focused on mobile parts. Gaming laptops featuring RTX 30 series. Mobile graphics cards will become available starting January 26th.
And unfortunately, it looks like those spec leaks from last week were mostly correct.. While there will be variants of these cards that deliver close to the power we might have expected, there may be other variants that offer drastically lower performance.. We don’t know why Nvidia designed them like this., But I am going to blame. The pandemic. Nvidia also unveiled the RTX 3060, the non-Ti version., And while it has significant less CUDA cores, it has more VRAM 12 gigs compared to the 3060 Ti’s eight gigs and a slightly higher boost clock.
It’S like Nvidia pressed the randomized button on the GPU specs generator. [ James ]. They always do this to us..
It can make it interesting. Sometimes. Anyways, as expected, Nvidia also announced resizable bar support for ampere GPU’s, which will work with both Intel and AMD processors., Which is almost something I would expect AMD to do.
Instead., But hey weird things happen in CES.. I’M just glad we’re doing this remotely.. It’S much weirder in person., Speaking of weird thing: Razer did their razor at CES thing and announced not one but two wacky concept: products today.. The first is Project Hazel a transparent face mask with a built-in mic and amplifier. So people can still hear your muffled voice..
It’S also equipped with a surgical, N95 respirator and active ventilation, but I didn’t see any mention of fans., So I’m guessing that’s just referring to breathing.. Of course, there’s freaking RGB lights on it, including on the inside.. So people can still see your mouth even when it’s dark. And it’s charging case includes a UV light to disinfect it.
When you take it, off., Which you won’t do, because you won’t get it in the first place. Just like you, won’t get Razer’s other concept, Project, Brooklyn and immersive gaming station, consisting of a chair with a mechanized arm that emerges from the rear to unroll a transparent 60 inch OLED display in front of you. [ James ], Now twirl your mustache.
( laughter ) At the same time., I’m glad I bought these. Razer CES is an April fool’s day.. I don’t, I think, you’ve got it confused this year.
Now it’s time for Quick Bits brought to you by Pulseway.. Look, I know you miss your devices., But there’s a way you can see them. Again., Pulseway’s, real-time, remote monitoring and management.
App is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux and gives you access to real-time status system resources, logged in users, network performance, Windows updates and more.. So you can spend quality time with your systems and servers even when you’re miles apart., They won’t miss. You deploying custom scripts and updating all their systems on the go, because you’ll be able to do that remotely while giving them a virtual kiss on their tender cheeks..
Let your devices know that you’ll always be there for them by trying pulse away for free at pulseway.com or through our link, below. Creepy, Believe it or not. Ces has even weirder stuff than Razer’s projects. LG announced a transparent display, which it apparently wants you to place in front of another TV. So you can watch TV while you’re watching TV.. I don’t know what they’re doing.
[ James ] Just give us AR blasters. James you’ll like this. Lasso, is an at-home recycling machine which will actually clean sort and break down recycled materials for you in your house. [, James ], But how energy inefficient is the machine? Oh no, Throw it in the garbage.
And Mufflin is an AI-powered fluffy pet robot that will wiggle around to provide emotional support somehow. And there it is. This year’s cat pillow. I knew it would show up. Controversial social network. Parler’S troubles didn’t end when it was taken offline by basically everyone. 50 terabytes of data found on the platform’s servers has been leaked, have been leaked. Thanks to Parler’s developers using a public API which allowed internet archivists to easily troll the site for data. [, James ] And it’s incriminating data is it? Is it I don’t know some of it.? I don’t know I don’t wan na no comment. Parler is suing Amazon for violating anti-competition laws., But I’m not sure what innovation they’re bringing to the competition in terms of data security.
If this is true. Moving on., The British Heart Rhythm Society has identified a problem with the iPhone 12’s MagSafe connector. Researchers were able to easily reproduce a situation where an iPhone 12 placed close to the chest of a patient with a pacemaker would cause the implanted device To stop working. [ James ] Ooh, that’s arresting., Oof [, James ], Cardiac arrest.
Yeah. I got it., So maybe you get a different phone for your grandparents to FaceTime you until they sort this one out.. Russia’S government has proposed fines for citizens who use SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service, because the country is working on their own space internet called Sphere with much cooler features.
Like heavy content, restrictions. ( mumbling ), Who would want to use ( mumbling ), the American internet anyways. It’S probably covered in McDonald’s grease. And the DNA editing technology. Crispr has been used to write data to the DNA inside living bacteria for the first time.
[ James ]. It’S like a tattoo. Man, there’s so much more bad-ass now. Researchers at Columbia University were able to accomplish the feat by combining CRISPR with voltage regulation techniques..
So it might not be very long before you can transfer me a file not using a USB stick, but using bacteria. [ James ] Turn it up man. You can plug this sucker in.
And, if you’ve been waiting for this episode to end good news. Come back Tomorrow, for more of a normal Wednesday type Tech, Linked. It’ll be way less weird.
Trust me. I love those way: better. [ James ], Here’s my braces. Dude, that’s .
