AMD Takes the Cake at Computex with Groundbreaking Announcements

Today was a momentous day for AMD as they showcased their latest and greatest innovations at Computex. The company is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in computing, and it's clear that they're not holding back. One of the most impressive announcements came from AMD's showcase of their 32-core, 2nd gen Threadripper CPU built using 12 nanometer Zen+ architecture. This powerhouse processor is designed to tackle even the most demanding workloads with ease.

But that was just the beginning. AMD also unveiled the world's first 7-nanometer GPU with 32 gigs of HBM memory, which will launch later this year as part of their Radeon Instinct line aimed at professionals and AI use cases. This GPU is a game-changer for those looking to tap into the power of AI and machine learning. And if that wasn't enough, AMD also revealed that they're using a 7-nanometer process in their Zen 2 processors, which are currently still in lab testing.

These announcements have left many in the tech community abuzz with excitement. While it's impossible to predict whether these innovations will live up to expectations, one thing is certain: AMD is making significant strides in the world of computing. Whether you're a gamer, a professional, or just someone looking for a solid CPU or GPU, AMD has something to offer.

But wait, there's more! ASUS also made some big announcements at Computex that are sure to interest fans of the brand. They revealed their new ZenBook Pro 15 with an Intel Movidius Visual Processing Unit (VPU) for AI applications and the Screen Pad, a touchscreen trackpad that promises to bring a whole new level of interaction to your computing experience. The ZenBook S is also back in the fold, offering up a fancy-looking yet durable notebook design that raises the keyboard when opened.

ASUS isn't done yet! They also unveiled the Zen AIO Pro, an all-in-one computer with built-in Qi charging capabilities, and the Vivo Watch BP, the first smartwatch to measure blood pressure. While some of these announcements may seem like a stretch for the brand, ASUS is clearly pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

But before we get too excited, there are a few other announcements worth mentioning. Lenovo's 2nd gen Yoga Book has ditched its keyboard and trackpad in favor of dual screens, while ASUS's Project Precog uses touchscreens to navigate your computing experience. Intel has also announced their latest Snapdragon-powered Windows device, which is designed specifically for smaller form factors.

And then there's Cooler Master's Inception project, which successfully built the largest water-cooled PC ever using a staggering $100,000 budget. They've certainly set the bar high, but it'll be interesting to see if they can replicate their success in the future.

Rocket has also made some big waves in the world of gaming peripherals with the launch of their custom Switch, dubbed the Titan. This switch promises to be both tactile and quiet, rivaling popular brands like Cherry MX Brown or Play-Doh in terms of feel. But will it live up to expectations?

Finally, Microsoft has sunk a data center off the coast of Scotland as part of Project Natick, an initiative aimed at reducing energy costs by utilizing the ocean as cooling. While this may seem unusual for a tech giant like Microsoft, it's certainly an innovative approach.

Tech Link Quick Bits

We're not done yet! ASUS has another announcement to share with us. They've developed a handheld dual-screen device codenamed Tiger Rapids, which will even move the keyboard around depending on where your fingers are. While this might seem gimmicky at first glance, it could potentially make a huge difference in terms of productivity and workflow.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 has already powered some Windows devices, but their new Snapdragon 850 is specifically designed for these types of applications with some tailored enhancements. Samsung will also be launching a Snapdragon-powered Windows device later this year, but we'll have to wait and see if it meets our expectations.

And finally, Tech Link's t-shirt collection is back in stock! That's right, folks, you can once again rep your love for the channel on your favorite tech gear. Click the link below to get your hands on some awesome logo'd merchandise that's sure to make a statement.

The Future of Computing

It seems like AMD has set the bar high at Computex this year, but will their innovations translate to real-world success? Only time will tell. In the meantime, it's clear that the company is committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in computing. Whether you're a gamer, professional, or just someone looking for a solid CPU or GPU, AMD has something to offer.

But there are other companies making waves as well. ASUS has unveiled some innovative new products, from their dual-screen notebooks to their custom Switch peripheral. And while Microsoft might have sunk a data center off the coast of Scotland, it's clear that they're committed to reducing their environmental footprint.

The future of computing is bright, and it looks like we're just getting started. Stay tuned for more updates on AMD and other companies as they continue to shape the industry.

it's basically an 8700k that can boost to 5 gigahertz so it's cool but don't get your knickers in a twist over it what you do have my permission to nick or twist over is intel's 28 core processor running at 5 gigahertz while that's certainly impressive a number of astute observers at computex got a peek at the actual system intel was using and it appears to be a xeon platinum 8180 server processor with an unlocked multiplier multiplier and it was running so hot they needed a full on ac unit to cool the thing so maybe this was just a janky way for them to demo 28 cores at 5 gigahertz but at the very least it's kind of sketchy until if you were attempting to show up amd it didn't didn't quite work sorry indeed it was amd that was doing the showing up as they showed off a 32 core 2nd gen threadripper cpu built using 12 nanometer zenplus architecture but they didn't stop there they also unveiled the world's first 7 nanometer gpu with 32 gigs of hbm memory which will launch later this year as part of the radeon instinct line aimed at professionals and ai use cases later it will also come in a gaming focus package so don't worry about that also there's a radeon vega 56 nano which was rumored for a while leading up to computex but more importantly amd is also using a seven nanometer process in its zen 2 processors which are in labs right now the first chips will be server oriented epic models launching next year well if we were going by pure newsworthy announcement it looks like amd takes the cake today but will that cake run once you bring it home and plug it in you never know you never know with cakes don't know with amd cakes some cakes run in some cakes don't and i thought asus was done on monday but they just kept rolling announcing the zenbook pro 15 with an intel movidius visual processing unit for ai stuff and the screen pad a touchscreen trackpad which i'm sure will be useful in in some way no one asked for this no we didn't the zenbook s is a fancy looking yet durable notebook that raises the keyboard up when it's opened the zen aio pro is an all-in-one with built-in qi charging and the vivo watch bp is the first smart watch to measure blood pressure which almost excuses it's looking like a badly poured pancake like when you pour pancake mixture on the on the grill and it kind of looks doesn't how can you pour bath it just it looks weird asus actually had one more big thing he announced but first it's quick bits brought to you by our t-shirts and stuff you can't get this t-shirt anymore so that's kind of unfortunate it was a
