Today at CES (day 1): Intel and vega, Nvidia's huge g-sync TV, HTC Vive pro and more

HTC Unveils New Vive Pro with Significant Upgrade

HTC has announced a new and improved version of their popular virtual reality headset, the HTC Vive Pro. The new device boasts a 78% increase in resolution, moving from 2160 x 1200 to 2880 x 1600. This significant upgrade is expected to enhance the overall VR experience for users. While it remains to be seen whether this upgrade will make all virtual reality more "reality," it's clear that HTC has put a lot of effort into making their headset one of the best on the market.

Other companies are also stepping up their game when it comes to naming conventions for new products. Manufacturers would do well to follow suit and come up with more creative and catchy names for their upgraded versions of existing devices. Instead of simply tacking on a "Pro" or "4K" suffix, why not something like the HTC Vive Super Majestic Ferrari Red Flame Beauty? It's clear that some companies are trying, but more needs to be done.

In other news, Westinghouse Electric has announced a new 43-inch 4K TV that will be available for just $350. This is a significant price drop compared to similar models on the market, making it an attractive option for consumers looking to upgrade their home entertainment system.

Gaming peripherals company Kingston HyperX has also been busy announcing new products and upgrades to their lineup. Their new RAM modules feature a Trident Z RGB design that's sure to appeal to gamers and tech enthusiasts alike. The HyperX gaming headset is also worth mentioning, with its unique hybrid scanning technology that looks set to revolutionize the way we play games.

Samson, another company looking to make waves in the tech industry, has announced a fridge that comes equipped with Bigby, a popular conversational AI platform. While it's unlikely that your fridge will ever be particularly emotive about the groceries inside, it's still an interesting concept that could potentially change the way we interact with our appliances.

In related news, AMD has been making headlines with their latest product announcements and roadmaps. The company has released a slew of new Zen CPUs, including the highly anticipated Zen 2 bus that promises improved stability and performance. They've also announced a new Thread Ripper coming out this year, which is expected to be a significant upgrade for content creators and gamers.

AMD's GPU roadmap has also been updated, with a focus on bringing their popular Vega technology to laptops and other devices where it's currently missing. The company is also working on a die shrink of Vega, designed specifically for machine learning applications. This could potentially give AMD a major edge in the AI market, which is expected to become increasingly important in the coming years.

Perhaps the most exciting news from AMD comes in the form of their new price drop across the board for their Zen CPUs. This means that consumers will be able to get high-performance CPUs at significantly reduced prices during Black Friday and other special promotions. With this move, AMD is effectively making their products more accessible to a wider audience, which could have significant implications for the gaming and PC hardware industries as a whole.

And finally, there's one last piece of news from CES that's worth mentioning: Kingston HyperX's new RAM modules are available now, featuring a Trident Z RGB design that's sure to turn heads among tech enthusiasts. The company has also announced their new gaming headset, which promises to revolutionize the way we play games with its unique hybrid scanning technology. With these announcements, it's clear that HyperX is committed to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to gaming peripherals and high-performance memory solutions.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome to my CES 2018 coverage now unfortunately I can't be at CES but I thought it would be a great idea to kind of do a roundup everyday of all of the happenings in CES because it's all tedious to go on your phone and like a look through all the stories now you have one easily digestible video to get all the information from now let's get a vote let's get all this introduction out the way and get straight into the news now the most exciting thing to come out of CES in the last couple of hours there's been the announcement of the Intel AMD coalition now I know this has been quite well covered lately and to be honest even in this week in the tech news I've spoken about it but it seems as though the 88,000 9ji I'm not sure how to refer to it is real and it's amazing they're gonna be bringing it out in an Intel nook which is about this size and it's gonna be super powerful now it's actually an i7 4 core 8 thread CPU that's been matched with a Vega chip and I was actually right in guessing will just kind of randomly guessing but I'm guessing that through is gonna be HBM memory on it and it's tiny and very powerful apparently it has about the same power as a max Q GTX 1080 this is the Vega con so it's gonna be amazing for laptops and great for tiny pcs now moving on to Nvidia that announced some insane tech so the first thing that they announced was a 65-inch 4k 120 hertz TV with jisuk and HDR actually so they decided that why don't gamers have great TVs available for them so let's make one I think the one issue with this plan is that it's going to be super expensive and they've actually announced this kind of concept of this of this TV and ace has given an actual prototype of one so it's a Republic of gamers branded 65 inch television and now that I'm speaking about Asus they've actually also announced a kind of seamless monitor integrator which seems pretty cool to me so what it is is if you have three monitors next to each other you always have that big knowing bit of bezel in the middle right so they have like a flexible screen thing that you kind of like hug into the gaps and it and it makes the monitors blend together I don't know if this is the greatest idea I think just having a kind of ultra wide could've solves that issue doesn't it but if you really a tier 3 monitors this might be a way to kind of not have to buy an ultra wide and for those of you that are excited about VR HTC has announced a new better version of the HTC vive called the HTC vive pro on a side note manufacturers really need to put more effort into their naming schemes of better versions of products oh we made a better version of the five let's call it the pro oh we made a better version of the PlayStation let's call it the PlayStation 4 Pro I mean you spend all this money on research on your products and you can't come up with better names for them how about the vive super majestic Ferrari red flame beauty I mean that sounds a little bit more catchy than the pro now the HTC vive pro is gonna have a 78% increase in resolution and yes that's quite a big jump it's gonna move from 2160 by 1200 to 2880 by 1600 which i don't know is gonna make all of the virtual reality more reality I'm not sure and then Westinghouse which is as far as I know an electricity company that once electrocuted an elephant but I'm not sure anyway they have announced a really cheap 4k TV now it's gonna be a 43 inch TV that they're gonna be selling for three hundred and fifty dollars so they're trying to bring 4k and L electrocution to the masses wow there's a lot of news and I need to try and get through this as quickly as possible Kingston under their HyperX branding has announced the whole kind of huge amount of new gaming stuff there's like a HyperX gaming headset which honestly just looks like a hybrid scanning headset but their new RAM looks mmm it looks pretty great it's got that kind of Trident Z RGB effect of the kind of most of the top of the RAM module being RGB but yeah it just looks great just look at mm-hmm pretty good looking round and then Samson didn't want to be left out and then just kind of announced a bunch of exciting looking stuff one of which is a fridge that has Bigsby in it so I don't know you can have a conversation with your fridge about how you feel about the groceries inside it I mean it's not like the fridge is gonna be particularly emotive on any topics but that's a pointless conversation they also announced a huge 8k TV which apparently upscales content to 8k this is to get around the fact that there just isn't any 8k content available anywhere and apparently it's also got AI in it which does a thing they were quite vague on what the AI actually does so I think they're planning on taking over the world with their TVs ooh and I almost forgot pretty much like the most important news of the day which was AMD kind of just had they went to town to be honest they really they really went for it so first of all they kind of released a whole bunch of new road maps so the first one was showing when kind of like a Zen bus was going to come out which is the next generation of rising CPUs which you know personally just between you and me is not gonna be the hugest increase but somebody pointed out to me that if it's more stable it'll be great fingers crossed they also announced that there's a new thread Ripper coming out this year which is also going to be better and this is just kind of like a bunch of rise in CPUs coming out all over the place they also showed some new kind of GPU roadmaps which they keep branding Vega everywhere everywhere except high-end gaming she's apparently but they're gonna try and bring Vega out and like laptops and they're bringing out a dice shrink of Vega which is gonna be just for machine learning as everything is from AMD at this point but I think the most exciting thing that they announced was a price drop across the board for their rise in CPUs so you're going to be able to get rise in CPUs for similar pricing then during the whole Black Friday special thing so they're gonna be really cheap and I think they're a great buy at this point anyways I think that's pretty much covers the CES coverage for this week not for this week sorry to this day there's gonna be more a lot more hopefully anyway thank you very much for watching if you liked the video do like and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already you know the business anyway thank you for watching bye byehello and welcome to my CES
