Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “RYZEN is BACK, BABY!”.
I’M not sure if we have enough internet for this episode, can I get some more cuz. It’S a series of tubes get it. We’Ve been waiting to see whether AMD’s third-gen rise in CPUs will continue in the tradition of greatness started by their predecessors, and although we haven’t seen third-party benchmarks yet it looks like the rise in 3000 series might be pure bangers. I will not the five multi-threaded CPUs that AMD unveiled at Computex are the six core rise in five: thirty, six hundred and thirty six hundred x, the eight core rise in seven thirty, seven hundred x and thirty eight hundred x and the twelve core rise in nine.
Thirty, nine hundred x, the first mainstream class desktop cpu with 24 threads AMD demoed, the chip in single and multi-threaded tasks, beating intel’s competing 12 core. I $ 9.99 20x, which costs $ 1,200. The rise in nine 3900 x will retail for $ 4.99.
That’S less than half and it comes with a cooler and it has a much lower TDP yeah. Third gen risin should be compatible with most am 4 boards with a BIOS update, but it’s also arriving alongside the x5 70 motherboard chipset, which supports PCIe, 4.0 Corsair and gigabytes showed off some m2 SSD. Is that our PCIe 4.0 ready? But you know what else will support it: AMD’s new Navi GPU and no, it’s not called the RX 38 e ha. I’Ve never been happier to find out.
A rumor was false. What it’s actually called is the RX 5700. It’S not much better because there’s already a Radeon RX 570. So this is just like another 0 anyway yeah anyways AMD has finally moved past the GCN architecture. The RX 5700 is built on our DNA, a Radeon DNA huh and is apparently on par with the RT X 2070. We didn’t get specs or price, but AMD will most likely reveal those details at e3 in June, with availability in July.
Also, it doesn’t have ray tracer, so the graphics front is a little less exciting, but man AMD rising huh. How many times do you think we can make the rising up joke before it’s tired? So what did Intel have to say for themselves at Computex, not much? The company unveiled a superclocked version of its flagship gaming processor, the core I $ 9.99 hundred K called the I $ 9.99 hundred KS. It’S got a base clock of four gigahertz and can push every one of its eight cores to a five gigahertz boost clocks, which is a big deal because normally boost clock. Frequencies only apply to one core and it appears that, unlike their notorious ice chiller demo, these clocks can be achieved using normal computer hardware.
So that’s so that’s cool, yeah yeah, I’m trying to be excited about it’s hard Intel, also teased the performance of their 11th gen, integrated graphics, which can apparently run games at 1080p slightly better than AMD’s built in Vega, graphics, on 2nd gen rising. So maybe that means Intel’s graphics cards will be good too. I’M trying I’m trying yeah it’s just it’s just it’s just not as cool a Seuss, however, did show off some innovative tech. It’S questionably useful, but but still the Zen Book Pro duo is like the Nintendo DS of laptops, with a secondary display below the primary one spanning the width of the keyboard. Linus did a video on it and he apparently thinks it might be useful. But I don’t know, maybe the humidity there is like getting to his head. Personally, I don’t know if he can be trusted because of this Asus also iterated on their combination, touchpad and display feature. The screen pad from last year. Screen pad 2.0 is larger, more intuitive views and uses the laptops, CPU integrated graphics instead of the GPU for better power savings. The company also showed off a pair of portable USBC monitors, one with a 240 Hertz refresh rate Wow and one with the touchscreen, but perhaps the most interesting product unveiling was the Zen book edition 30, a white leather and gold laptop to celebrate their 30th anniversary.
So that’s very exciting for hardcore Asus fans, who are also tremendously wealthy. Now, it’s time quick bits brought to you by discipline displayed regular posters are fine, but you roll them up wrong. One time and luke skywalker’s got a weird bed face forever displayed czar, magnet, mounted metal prints that are durable and look way. Cooler than a piece of paper anyway displayed has over 260,000 artworks spanning many influences and styles and feature an easy Magna mounting system.
No power tools or holes in the wall required plus they plant 10 trees for each display, purchased, they’re, good people, they’re, so good they’ll.

Nvidia also showed up at Computex 2019. But if you were looking for an explanation for that cryptic super teaser from last week, you’ll be disappointed. Yep, all they really showed off was the new Nvidia studio initiative designed to help manufacturers like Acer, HP and razer, build powerful laptops for creators, which will be equipped with Quadro, r-tx or geforce.
R-Tx GPUs basically know we’re gon na hear about that at e3. The company also announced an official rate racing enabled version of quake 2, which is now available and that the feature is also coming to the upcoming Wolfenstein Youngblood game. And apparently, we weren’t all crazy and video was scared of AMD naming the Navi GPU, the RX 38 II, so Nvidia patented. The number is 30, 80, 40, 80 and 58, at least they have it now.
You know thinking ahead. Computex isn’t all about desktop. Ok, mobiles! In there to listen to James, an arm doesn’t want you to forget it because they unveiled the cortex a7 t7 CPU and the Mallee g77 GPU, both with performance boosts over their predecessors. But we can’t very well go out and buy these and stick them in our phone, so why the heck are we talking about it? James, yeah oof.
The Wall Street Journal has published an article detailing the accusations leveled against Huawei, as it rose in power and significance over the past decade. It points out that the current scandal over the company’s potential status is a spy for the Chinese government. It doesn’t even address claims that it stole technology from other companies. Did you forget about that? James by Huawei, a New York Times report claims that the ransomware that is currently crippling Baltimore’s computer systems is based on eternal blue. A piece of malware that was created by the NSA, eternal blue was leaked in 2017 and Microsoft released a patch for the malware a day later, but apparently Baltimore hasn’t been keeping their PCs up-to-date. I should really show this story to my dad. He hasn’t updated his phone since, like 2012 told you dad and if you want to skip the whole, not updating thing and get right to the malware, you can buy this laptop running Windows XP, which is infected with six of the world’s deadliest viruses, including wan na Cry for over a million dollars, it’s an art project, titled, the persistence of chaos and the auction has probably concluded by now, actually see you can’t buy it. Sorry. The laptop apparently had all of its connectivity options disabled, so the malware can’t spread. So it’s perfectly safe. I’M sure no one will find a way to make this horrible. Alright, that’s it for this episode guys.
I’Ve had enough of this, but if you haven’t had enough, come on back on Wednesday for more tech news and hopefully more juicy drama as well ooh, what will Logitech say about HP? .
