**AMD Teases New Generation of GPUs, Leaving Fans Disappointed Again**

AMD has decided that it's a good idea to already start teasing their new generation of favored GPUs, considering the fact that they spent like a year teasing Fury and going on about how because it's got HP M2 and because of how huge it is it's gonna be the most powerful thing ever released and Nvidia is gonna crumble to its knees before AMD. The Vega 64 comes out and it's pretty much not even as fast as a year-old Nvidia graphics card, right before and videos about to release a new generation of graphics cards well not right before but it's towards the end of Pascal's life lifespan.

Now they decided that no we're going to start with the new Vega series we're going to get people excited about it all over again so they can get disappointed about it all over again. They're saying that they're gonna have up to 32 gigs of HBM, that can run up to a terabyte per second of memory bandwidth which is all super exciting sounding but the thing is whenever all they have to go on about is the amount of HBM that they're gonna be putting in it HBM meaning high bandwidth memory by the way then it kind of means that the rest of the package is potentially a bit of a disappointment.

**Intel Discontinues Skyhawk Range of CPUs**

Intel has decided or announced that they're going to be discontinuing the Skyhawk range of CPUs. I didn't realize they hadn't done yet and on a different trajectory, Battlefield 1942 is coming back with an HD remake, they're calling it a 4K remake actually which is potentially quite exciting but it might also be pretty horrible because usually how these kind of HD remakes works out is they just chew on some glow in our textures into an old game and hopefully sell some copies.

**Steam Reaches Record for Most Games Released in a Single Year**

Steam has reached the kind of record of the amount of games released in a single year, playerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) has is pretty close to Dota 2's record on Steam, having some of the most active users which is exciting or disappointing there considering how you were treated by the whole streamer debacle every time you go on to Steam's library off PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds all you see is a bunch of negative reviews where people are complaining about how and I think it's one specific streamer that's been doing this.

**PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Banned Streamers**

It's not even just like streamers in general but one streamer who has been getting a lot of players banned because the moment he says anything, playerUnknown's Battlegrounds bans them for like oh how dare you drive past the streamer and hoot or run em over or whatever so that's if that happened to you I think you're not going to be excited about the fact that a bunch of people bought the unfinished game but if you enjoy it you be excited about that because they're mean that means there'll be a lot of active servers yay.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: engood evening hello and welcome to the first ever episode of this week in the tech news a show that is going to try and cover all of the most important happenings in the tech world of the week this is quite an important show to start on or date to start on I should say because the new iPhone or gaggle of iPhones was released yesterday Intel has some interesting news and AMD is trying to start up that whole hype train all over again which we know you know it always ends up so love them now I think the story to start off with is the new release of the iPhone there are at least three new iPhones two of them is the kind of normal the normal release schedule of the iPhone and then the iPhone plus and there's not much exciting going on with that release in particular because well it's just the iPhone 7 with the slightly better camera or I mean they say it's a much better camera yet to see that a faster processor and a slightly brighter screen with a bit more battery life they have been pushing augmented reality quite a lot in the new release which is quite exciting I like the idea of of kind of using a hunter cam walking around and having information about the world and overlaid onto what I see but it's still a bit awkward wandering around doing who in a public space I don't know that's something I don't feel hugely comfortable with but those two releases aren't the interesting ones they aren't the ones that everybody is excited about the more exciting of the iPhone releases is the iPhone 8 X X just the elephant ex or they're calling at the iPhone 10 which is a bit weird because it means in two generations it's going to be like what are they gonna call the current generation life are they're gonna have it the iPhone 10 but written with a number and then if you have an iPhone next you have to clarify that I have the iPhone 10 but with the X not with the number it's a bit of a weird kind of naming scheme that seems a bit like they're backing themselves into a wall to be honest but the iPhone 10 does seem really great it looks beautiful with its kind of full front face of screen which apparently according to then won't just break because it's this new type of glass that's really Hardy and the aluminium back is surgical grade aluminium which is somehow better than non surgical grade aluminium and it's got great stuff like like wireless charging something which is available in the other iPhone as well but you know it's good that they've finally jumped onto that train something that Samsung's been doing for a while but you know it doesn't matter it's still a great feature they have an LED screen in it finally they've got like just a new piece of technology when it comes to the screens for the phone and it's all super high resolution which is quite exciting it's got the same processor in than the iPhone 8 but there they didn't say that like it's a bad thing they said oh wow it's 70% faster than the previous generation yay were so great although in the tech press event they did have a bit of an unfortunate fail with the FaceTime feature that they tried to show off which was quite funny but it didn't take away from the event it will stow it quite well on the iPhone X looks great on all counts except for the fact that it's going to cost you more than a small house I think the entry-level price for the iPhone 10 is going to be a thousand dollars which is unlock for a phone yes it looks nice but it's a thousand dollars for a phone but apparently the reason there I get $1,000 for a phone is because it recreates the exclusive feel of the original iPhone which i think is a bit stupid because well like do you really want people to feel like they can't have one but then it makes the people who have one you know feel better about it but I think you know knowing Apple they're charging a thousand dollars for the iPhone 10 because well they can charge a thousand dollars for - 10 and people are still gonna buy them religiously otherwise in the event they also released the Apple TV which is pretty much just a television like I don't really know why it's different than its Apple they're almost definitely using a Samsung panel in it anyway and yeah I was pretty much it and now let's move over to the Intel camp which interestingly Intel has seemingly quite quite a similar technique to - Apple when it comes to releasing new hardware release a new piece of hardware wants more or less every year and have them pretty much indistinguishable from the previous generation but then release some overarching flagship product that pretty much nobody's gonna afford but then a lot of people still want to buy and it ends up being good but just hugely overpriced and that's pretty much what they're doing this time but no it isn't this is actually one of the first possibly interesting releases on the mainstream platform for Intel in a really long time so alleged benchmarks have been leaked of the 8700 K and it's pretty interesting because it's the mainstream platform for Intel has been stuck on for a Cause for a very long time but they're finally bringing out a six core mainstream processor which we could possibly thank AMD for I don't really know but it is really exciting because one of the huge advantages of the kind of mainstream Intel platform has always been its single threaded performance and then rising came along with eight chorus which meant that the single-threaded performance even though it wasn't that great wasn't hugely important because there was twice the amount of course and twice the amount of logical cause but now with six of those much faster cause we're looking at a potentially very fast processor earlier indications have have kind of pointed towards a 57% increase in multi-threaded performance from the 7700 K to the 8700 K but some some youtubers have actually released released part of hands-on benchmarks of the 8700 K at an event where they found an HP omen machine standing there with an 8700 K in it and it looks pretty promising you have to take these results with a bit of a grain of salt but it still looks very exciting and in the other camp on AMD side MD decided that it's a good idea to already start teasing their new generation of favored GPUs which you know considering that they spent like a year teasing Fay like teasing the current generation of Vega and going on about how because it's got HP m2 and because of how huge it is it's gonna be the most powerful thing ever released and Nvidia is gonna crumble to its knees before AMD and then the Vega 64 comes out and it's pretty much not even as fast as a year old Nvidia graphics card right before and videos about to release a new generation of graphics cards well not right before but it's towards the end of of pascal's life lifespan and now just after the kind of disappointing blob that was Vega 64 they decided that no we're going to start with the new Vega series we're going to get people excited about it all over again so they can get disappointed about it all over again they're saying that they're gonna have up to 32 gigs of hvm - that can run up to a terabyte per second of memory bandwidth which is all super exciting sounding but the thing is whenever all they have to go on about is the amount of HBM that they're gonna be putting in it hbm meaning high bandwidth memory by the way then it kind of means that the rest of the package is potentially a bit of a disappointment so I think I think Andy should really think about how it hives products because all they do is potentially set themselves up for a huge disappointment which Vegas 64 and that's coming from somebody who spent a year or waiting for Vegas 64 and then ended up buying a GTX 1080 three days after Vega was released or a couple like a couple weeks after Vega was released so yes let's hope that they're not digging another hole that they contact them selves out of and now with all of the main stories out the way I think it's time for a couple of shorter snippets of tech news now firstly going back to the Intel account Intel has decided or announced that they're going to be discontinuing the sky like range of CPUs which I didn't realize they hadn't done yet and on a bit of a different trajectory battlefield 1942 is coming back with an HD remake they're calling it a 4k remake actually which is potentially quite exciting but it might also be pretty horrible because usually how these kind of HD remakes works out is they just chew on some glow in our textures into an old game and hopefully sell some copies and let's hope that that's not what happens and on other news steam has reached the kind of a record of the amount of games released in a single year and player unknown battlegrounds has is pretty close to two dota 2's record on steam of having some the most kind of active users which is exciting or disappointing there considering how you were treated by by the whole streamer debacle every time you go on to steams on to steams library off player NOAA battleground all you seeis is a bunch of negative reviews where people are complaining about how and I think I actually think it's one specific streamer that's been doing this it's not even just like streamers in general but one streamer who has been getting a lot of players banned because the moment that he says anything player and on battlegrounds bans them for like oh how dare you drive past the steamer and hoot or run em over or whatever so that's if that happened to you I think you're not going to be excited about the fact that a bunch of people bought the unfinished game but if you enjoy it you be excited about that because they're mean that means there'll be a lot of active servers yay anyways thank you very much for watching the very first episode of this week in the news subscribe to the channel if you don't want to miss upcoming this week's in the news which will be coming out every week on Wednesday and I've also got a lot of other tech kind of content that I'm gonna be bringing out wow I just spoke what father a bunch of other tech content it's gonna be coming out so do subscribe to the channel to see it if you liked the video do like if you disliked it dislike the video and yes until next week thank you very much for watchinggood evening hello and welcome to the
