allegedly already leaked thanks to

Reliable tipster copit 7 Kimmy which is

00:30

how I will pronounce it always Kimmy has

00:33

claimed the cards will be based on the

00:36

GB 202 and GB 203 gpus I don't know what

00:41

their opinions will be but we'll see the

00:43

latter is expected to be a cutdown

00:45

version of the former with half the

00:48

number of cores on top of that the cards

00:50

may be the first to feature gddr 7

00:53

memory specifically the memory speed

00:55

will cap out at 28 gbits per second

00:58

which is lower than the the published

01:00

specifications for the nextg memory but

01:02

still faster than gddr 6x's maximum

01:06

speed this detail seems the most solid

01:10

while Kimmy has seemed to flip-flop on

01:12

memory bus width the tipster now says

01:14

the GB 202 will sport a 512-bit memory

01:18

bus but previously hinted it would come

01:20

with the same 384bit interface the 490

01:24

has but if all this gaming GPU news

tricked you into thinking that Nvidia

cares about those again I'm sorry sorry

Jensen hang has implied the company's

nextg dgx AI servers will be liquid

due to increased power consumption this

01:58

joins the list of AI companies sued for

02:00

copyright infringement companies like

02:03

every other AI company it's a right of

02:05

passage really AGI will emerge from the

02:09

fire of being sued constantly from Team

02:13

Green over to team red now AMD has made

02:15

major changes to the freesync

02:17

certification process in a community

02:19

announcement the company stated they

02:22

would be increasing the required maximum

02:25

refresh rate a monitor needs to support

02:28

in order to be free sync certified

02:30

originally monitors and TVs only needed

02:33

a maximum refresh rate of 40 to 60 Herz

02:36

to get a basic free sync stamp but now

02:39

the minimum certification requires at

02:42

least a 144hz maximum refresh rate

02:46

meanwhile free sync premium

02:47

certification used to just require a

02:49

monitor that can go up to 120 htz but

02:52

now that's only true for displays with

02:54

horizontal resolutions of 3,440 pixels

02:58

or above t TVs or monitors below that

03:01

resolution must have a maximum refresh

03:03

rate of at least 200 HZ and premium pro

03:07

has also changed to match premium but

03:09

with the added Criterion of HDR support

03:12

now these might sound like huge and

03:14

confusing changes but they really just

03:16

reflect today's most common refresh

03:18

rates in desktop gaming monitors it's

03:20

super common now to find Budget gaming

03:22

monitors at 144 HZ but no matter what

03:26

monitor you're running amd's new

03:28

upscaler for noname just video content

03:31

could be welcome news for you Radeon RX

03:34

7000 users out there it's basically team

03:36

Red's answer to nvidia's RTX VSR but

03:40

apparently it's a bit more complicated

03:41

to set up not only do you have to enable

03:43

it in amd's Adrenaline control panel but

03:46

you also need to enable options in

03:48

Windows 11's Settings app and additional

03:51

settings in Chrome and Edge if you want

03:53

to use it in one of those browsers as

03:55

for other browsers AMD didn't mention

03:57

them Firefox what is that some sort of

03:59

cryp did it's friends with the

04:01

insulindian fmid about five people will

04:03

get that and apple will be releasing

04:05

NextGen iPad pros and airs in the next

04:08

month according to the germ and the

04:10

apple apple will not have a launch event

04:12

for their Mac and iPad updates because

04:15

the Vision Pro is all that matters now

04:17

previously it was rumored that Apple

04:19

would simply put out press releases on

04:20

its website last week but that doesn't

04:23

seem to have happened while we wait for

04:25

those products we can perhaps also wait

04:27

for a new Apple headset oh insiders like

04:30

gerbon have claimed we might see a

04:32

cheaper alternative to The Vision Pro in

04:34

2025 or 2026 but according to a leaker

04:38

called

04:40

Rus sounds like a Cy Lord according to

04:43

that leaker apple is accelerating

04:45

research and development on an

04:47

entrylevel headset the leaker claims

04:49

apple is trying to reduce the cost of

04:51

their headset displays which account for

04:53

almost a third of the vision Pro's total

04:56

manufacturing cost allegedly the second

04:58

generation headset could cost cost

05:00

$1,500 which is a bargain on Apple's

05:03

pricing scale but before that allegedly

05:06

happens the airpods pro may be getting a

05:08

major new hearing aid mode with iOS 18

05:12

according to Mark German again he's back

05:15

a 20122 study already suggested airpods

05:17

work competently as a cheaper

05:19

alternative to a traditional hearing

05:21

of this year cuz everyone else is just

freew writing the company is reportedly

06:43

targeting valuation of close to 6 and a

06:45

half billion dollar which is honestly a

06:48

bit more than I'd be willing to pay for

06:49

it 20 bucks take it or leave it you'd be

06:51

lucky if anyone pays you more than 20

06:53

bucks for that thing little xiaomi is

06:55

removing a popular feature that allowed

06:57

users to play YouTube videos in the

06:59

background on their android-based

07:01

operating system without subscribing to

07:04

YouTube premium thus avoiding paying

07:06

Google money that's how that works

07:09

Google who actually quite likes money is

07:11

suspected of having pressured xiaomi

07:14

into removing the feature though xiaomi

07:16

only said that the changes were due to

07:18

unspecified compliance requirements

07:21

specifically compliance with the back of

07:23

Google's hand slap slap Google leaked

07:26

the pixel 8 A's existence in the most on

07:29

brandway in Android 14's QPR 1 update

07:33

Google added extended battery statistics

07:36

that allowed users to see charging cycle

07:38

counts and manufacturing dates for their

07:40

phone's battery however this feature

07:42

disappeared in an update this month when

07:45

a user reported this as a bug a Google

07:47

representative stated that existing

07:49

devices were never meant to get this

07:51

feature so they removed it saying we

07:54

only enable this page on Pixel 8A and

07:56

Beyond oh oh that'll be on the pixel 8A

07:59

no sorry Android users you may have lost

08:02

a feature but your sacrifice has allowed

08:04

Google to justify yet another phone

08:07

launch a mod has been released that

08:09

gives Nvidia RTX 20 series and GTX 16

08:12

series gpus support for resizable bar a

08:16

performance-enhancing feature that lets

08:17

your CPU access your gpu's entire frame

08:21

buffer as long as your motherboard says

08:23

it's okay Mom isn't there someone you

08:27

forgot to ask that's actually not a joke

08:29

rebar only works if the motherboard CPU

08:31

and GPU all support it so using this mod

08:35

which is based on another mod adding

08:36

rebar support to older processors

08:38

involves patching your motherboard's

08:40

UEFI firmware and that's always a little

08:43

risky but what is life if not a

08:45

continuous sequence of taking one risk

08:48

after another this is not an endorsement

08:49

do not sue us we're not an AI company if

08:52

Riley jumped off a cliff would you

08:54

that's just a question and Porsche has

08:56

unveiled the tyan turbo GT its fastest

09:00

road legal car ever and it proved it too

09:03

by setting a new record for a production

09:05

EV car at the leguna sea track in

09:08

California lonus is so sad he went back

09:11

to driving his Lambo out of shame in

09:13

addition to more range and pter charging

09:16

the new tyan got a bonus in the form of

09:18

a Tim Cook appearance in its

09:20

09:22

Porsche CEO Oliver Bloom on the launch
