GDDR 6 means new GTX 1180 not too far? April fools round-up and AMD RX 580 X: TWTN

**The Great Battery Life Scandal: A Lawsuit Waiting to Happen**

Apple's recent update claiming a 15% improvement in battery life has been met with skepticism. In reality, the company simply slowed down their phones to achieve this feat. The consequences of this move have been severe, with 59 lawsuits filed against Apple over the past couple of days. This is not just a small issue; it's going to become one giant Uber lawsuit that will take over the world.

If I were in Apple's shoes, I'd be terrified of facing such a massive legal battle. Their team of lawyers might be top-notch, but the stakes are high. The outcome could be disastrous for Apple, and we can only imagine what might happen next.

**Disappointment from AMD: RX 580 X Coming Later This Year**

There was some disappointing news coming from AMD regarding their new graphics card, the RX 580 X. While it's not the first time an X has been added to a graphics card name (the x1 900 X DX still holds that title), what's underwhelming is that this is essentially just a refresh of the RX 580. The RX 580 itself was a refresh of the RX 480, making the RX 580 X a refresh of a refresh.

This means that the RX 580 X will be like a three-year-old graphics card at this point, which is somewhat disappointing considering its performance increase is only expected to be between five and six percent. It's hard to understand why AMD couldn't just keep producing RX v80s for miners to buy.

**Half-Life Remake: A New Engine but Still No Half-Life 3**

A school project called Lambda has been remade in the Unreal 4 engine, and it looks amazing. However, this shouldn't be confused with Project Mesa, which was when they remade half-life in a newer engine and made significant improvements. This one is on an even better engine, but still, we're no closer to getting Half-Life 3.

**The End of "This Week in Tech News"**

This marks the end of what's officially the last ever "This Week in Tech News" associated with the name "Hard On Hardware". I'm changing the name, and it's going to be exciting. I get to be the one who keeps you guessing about what's next.

If you liked this video, please like and subscribe to the channel. It's all part of the anticipation for the branding change. And if you don't understand why I'm talking about branding, just know that it's a personal thing for me.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome to what's almost definitely the last ever video on my channel with the hard on hardware name attached to it I finally decided on a new name I've made an amazing intro for my new videos and yes from this weekend all of the videos that I'm gonna be uploading is gonna have a different name attached I'm not gonna say what it is right now because that wouldn't be all Irian climactic and that wouldn't be nearly as cool now considering that today is two days after the 1st of April I thought it would be interesting to have a look at all of the joke tech news articles that came out on April Fool's all of these stories about GTX 1180s with I don't know 24 gigs of HP m2 and 10,000 cuda cores so we'll have a look at the best of these stories and then in the comment section below we can have a vote on which story would be the most exciting if it was actually true now the first one doesn't actually have anything to do with actual technology but Paul's Hardware uploaded a video in which he said he was going to change the title of his channel from Paul's hardware to Paul's makeup and beauty tips and then he spends the next 15 minutes having who I assume as his wife helped him do his makeup and he actually looked pretty pretty beautiful at the end of it now the first of these kind of fake tech news articles comes from EVGA themselves and they've uploaded a video explaining how they've invented a wireless GPU connection thing which essentially means that you can have your GPU just standing on your desk and having it run a video game which they then show it doing they have a GTX 1080 standing on a table and the fan spinning up and they show it kind of running a game supposedly what's really irritating about the story though is that they've taken it down in the meantime we're not story but the video they've taken it down I can't find it anywhere and I think it's really it's really selfish at EVGA I know after this a bunch of articles came out about how this is gonna be a new amazing graphics card released now the most exciting were the most surprising one of these was WCC tech released an article explaining how Intel and AMD have now teamed up to bring out a high-end top-tier gaming GPU together and the graphics card they then continued to list is hugely impressive so it's supposed to have four terabit per second HP m2 memory 10,000 stream processors and it was just going to absolutely dominate everything on the market and then it's Intel and AMD working together again for the second time in a year there was just so much excitement in this article that was impossible to pin down what the best part was now considering that this GPU is supposedly going to use HP m2 which means it's gonna be a smaller graphics card physically it fits perfectly in with the video that Hardware canucks released explaining or examining the world's smallest case and in the video he unboxes a tiny Coolermaster h 500 b which was made out of cardboard so you can have your insane intel AMD GPU wirelessly plugged in to your H 500 B and the final story that came to light was the most amazing of all of them because well it involves a massive evil company that gains a conscience and actually kind of becomes self-aware and apologizes for its terrible actions ufd tech brought a video which was a fairly poorly delivered April Fool's joke but apparently Nvidia told the whole world that the GPP or the graphics card partner program is finally over and that they're apologizing for the fact that they've been write tools about it unfortunately this will never happen and competition is dead and gaming is over now moving on from the April shenanigans let's have a look at some actual tech news now this first story is a little bit of a mixed bag because some of it is very exciting but some of it's also pretty disappointing now according to an insider's source Square hynek's SK Hynix Square helix however you pronounce but the memory manufacturer is supposedly going to bring GDD are six to mass-production at some point within the next three months which is really cool because it means that GPUs using GD d rs6 is probably going to become available pretty soon after that but and then there's more to the news that's also very exciting in that apparently according to this source not only the most high-end Nvidia graphics cards are going to use GT d r6 apparently you're gonna find it pretty far down the product stack which is pretty cool because it means that you might see a GTX 1160 with some some GDD or six action now that's all of the exciting bit of the story what is a bit disappointing though is that they're saying that it's actually going to cost a bit more to produce g ddr 6 and it's somewhere in the ballpark of between ten fifteen percent more than the cost of gddr5 which sucks but they did say 10 or 15% more than gddr5 and not 5x so hopefully that's not significantly more than gddr5 x cost to make because that would mean that graphics cards aren't gonna cost a whole lot more than that let's see hopefully we don't have to pay $10,000 for a gtx 1180 let's fingers crossed fingers crossed now a while back and it might actually have been last year at this point but I did a video talking about how there was a bunch of lawsuits filed against Apple because of the fact that their newest software update at that point for like the iPhone 6 was actually slowing down the CPUs so that they can have like an artificially increased battery life and they can go like our new update has a 15% improvement in battery life but actually what happened was they just slowed the phone's down now apparently over the next couple of days the 59 lawsuits that kind of resulted from this is going to become one kind of giant uber lawsuit and then it's gonna take over the world it's actually pretty terrifying if I was in Apple's shoes but I mean they have the most insane legal team in the world I can imagine but yeah so $59 suits is going to come llama rate into like one Cthulhu sized lawsuit and then someone is gonna get money I don't know something terrible might happen now looking at some more graphics card related news this some disappointing information coming from whoever does the leaking for AMD apparently they're going to release an RX 580 X later in the year now first of all there's quite a lot of X's in that name two of them although that's not the AMD graphics card with the most X's in its name ever I think that still firmly belongs to the x1 900 X DX so yeah they really need to step up their X game in their current naming scheme but what's disappointing about this graphics card is that it's gonna be so unravel usha nary that they couldn't even call it they couldn't even add another hundred to the name they had to just add an X to it because apparently it's just gonna be a refresh of the RX 580 but the RX 580 is a refresh of the RX 480 so in other words the RX 580 X is a refresh of a refresh so it's like what a two or three-year-old graphics card at this point which is a little bit disappointing to be honest and then the supposed performance increase is only gonna be between five and six percent which is tiny I mean that's not really anything to write home about and I don't necessarily know why they have to release like a new one why can't they just keep making RX v 80s for miners to buy and then lastly I couldn't not talk about this story because it's half-life related and anything half-life related makes any gamers super excited because you know the the half-life blue balls are getting bigger heavier and more swollen as the day goes by but apparently they've remade the first half-life in the Unreal 4 engine and apparently it looks pretty unreal but anyway it's pretty cool this school project lambda and it's going to look amazing now the thing is this shouldn't be confused with project Mesa which was when they remade half-life in a newer engine and it looked better and was pretty exciting this one is a newer engine and it's going to look even better it's still no half-life 3 though but that's never ever happen and we're just gonna have to live with our conquering massive balls and with that it brings me to the end of what is officially the last ever this week in the tech news that's associated with the hard on hardware name I'm gonna be changing the name and it's all super exciting and we don't know what it is yet although I know and I'm like an insider it's really great because when you watch YouTube videos of like YouTube channel guys talking about like secret things that they're gonna do and it's gonna come out and it's all going to be hugely exciting you're always like I wonder what that is I wonder what like what like he's thinking of doing but now I'm doing that I get to be the one that goes mmm I'm doing a thing and you don't know what I'm gonna do anyway I think that's the end of the video if you like the video do like and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already in anticipation for the branding change because then I can be that guy that goes to like a meal and talks at length about how my personal brand is ever evolving and how like the branding is like the issue with the fixation on the brand and then have everybody hate me because I'm talking about branding for no specific reason you own a shoe shop why are you talking about branding like it isn't no I just found a lot there anyway that cuts me off bye byehello and welcome to what's almost definitely the last
