it's like say you weren't even here justice understand I understand now understand my place okay okay what could you using the updated interfaces that even know well they like I didn't opt for this this is the shit that always happens on this classic I do this every time and I always revert me back only on this laptop okay for some reason this laptop thinks that I want to see the the YouTube studio beta or whatever it is yeah stupid it's terrible hits you it's absolutely terrible hello hi everyone starting this stream off with good vibes welcome to awesome Hardware episode 183 this is side a and about a half an hour to maybe 40 minutes or so we're gonna switch over to side B on Paul's channel OJ's youtube.com slash Paul's Hardware you can find the link in the description of my video if you're watching on youtube I just copy pasted it in there so it's fresh it's a fresh link super fresh happy 8th at the April everyone happy April yes yes absolutely April Fool's is behind us now so we can we can all go into the to the month with a new sense of of trust and confidence yes though on all those good things but let's see we we also will be having an after-party at the end of the show where if anyone sends us donations through super chat we'll be reading off the messages attached to those donations during that after-party we also might never gonna play get around to playing any games today or anything but we'll also be reading off I can I can play over what I'll might play over watchful we'll see how it goes we'll play it by ear but we we like to have a lot of fun on the show obviously apart from talking about news and and what's what's good in the tech world we have a couple drinks which mine's almost gone oh yeah we need my shoes Cheers we also occasionally use adult language so if that's a sensitive thing for you then beat warrant but we only use it appropriately when when it's warranted yep so um we also have stores if you want to buy something from our stores we we ask for your support and are very generous or very grateful we hope you're generous and making us grateful by buying our things mine at my stores bibliothèque / store or you just go to bit with tech and there's there's a assortment of things that you should check it out get all them I actually have a new design or two brewing so be excited for that the dude spinners are not special Jude spinners are no on sale they no they're not there it is still there they're in low supply and load demands they're still very popular absolutely my store start we're dead net yes and you can find quality merchandise on his store as well it will also yell Johnson at you and at the end of the show during the after party real good if you happen to buy anything from either of our stores good things alright let's jump into some tech news today starting with with with a banger from tech power up this is about Lisa soo who's officially going to deliver a copy text keynote ooh ooh wonder what that could be about it's scheduled for Monday May 27th right before Computex actually officially starts on the 28th at 10:00 a.m. I think that's I don't know if that's 10:00 a.m. Computex yeah they they should specify yeah that's probably that is type a time I would think so yeah here it will actually be sometime in October what if it was PST I think when the feeling 3:00 in the morning that's like 3:00 in the morning at least it seems like I think we all will but it's very exciting she said that you know the keynote topic is gonna be focused on there thank you Paul the next generation of high performance computing again wonder wonder what that could be this is actually the first time a keynote speech will be held at the pre-show international press conference and Lisa sue is gonna be delivering the opening keynote this is a fairly big keynote too big deal sue said that she's gonna provide new date details about the next-gen of high performance AMD platforms and products I am down bring it on baby upcoming products she may talk about apart from horizon 3000 we'll look at that oh yeah this is this is one of the this is one of your congratulatory beers I bought you for the for hitting a million the abyss barrel-aged in tequila barrels extending the celebration that's a twist absolutely you gotta gotta spread it out it was it was brute oh I didn't even see the bottom brooding tequila barrels for ten months Wow that's it's older than a nine month old baby thank God they didn't go the whole year right yeah never you never go full year I'll just open it with my handy dandy pulsar we're proud of placement uh upcoming products she might talk about besides third gen Rison which are all very much looking forward to wax includes seven nanometer AMD epoch datacenter processors and potentially graphics cards that are gonna be the next generation Navi architecture for yourself some because I most certainly I could pour it for you to their high god I feel rude I feel like I should have just poured it for you no no no the the cap is already off so I'm not scared anymore this is this is like oh it smells like gasoline oh yeah Oh countess what did we get ourselves into now this is a oh it's gonna be one of those shows prior to now we've been drinking Sierra Nevada Pale Ale which is surely why take you take the rest of OB oh boy whoo this is 9% just blacker than my soul 11 it might be 11 Oh God you could be right though where does it say oh it's right here it's a very does that say 11 eboydee I think the whole look gosh I think that's the living point that's a triple dance oh this is basically a 12% bad it's like wine it's like I'm drinking wine all right real quick okay there was an announcement wanted to make forgot at the beginning of this yes sorry I thought you wanted me to wait for your half but oh well just quickly here in Casey's and that doesn't watch sure Billy coats let me leave has sent us stuff before you said something to my P o box unfortunately they say they keep it for a month but I checked today and it's already been returned I'm very sorry I didn't get this but Billy coats please resend that because whatever you said I want it okay sorry about that Thank You Billy alright so yeah that's pretty much it I'm excited cuz I'll actually be there at Computex I don't know if I'm gonna the actual keynote yeah I mean I guess I could get it anyone who's got a press badge can get in so maybe I will but also maybe I won't because it'll be streamed and stuff and usually you can get more than you work more efficiently oh Jesus okay yeah I totally needed that all right so um yeah we'll be reporting on whatever news lisa sued plans to deliver on that day to you directly so you can hear it straight from us after you hear it straight from her it's a little bit redundant but I'm excited I'm excited to hear more details about rising 3,000 family me too all right this could also potentially be an indication that the rumors which I mean let's face it or pretty reasonable expectation this would be an event that they would announce there's the availability of Rison 3000 series absolutely so that'd be cool right this is remarkably smooth I was expecting way more bite which which my ears meal yeah which is which is I'll be sipping it like it's a pale el Sierra Nevada but it's a 12% stream destroyer whatever that means yeah it's good I I was expecting it to be way more intense it's it's mm-hmm it's subtle in a good way cuz because if you brake too much tequila at me I'd be like yeah tequila's not my favorite and that's our the smell I was like it's gonna be really abrasive yeah but Wow that's this was this was like a twenty five dollar bottle wow that's good good good work spared I spared no expense for your million subscribers all the credit in the world well done Kathleen thank you thank you alright so let's move on switching gears here to Nvidia and I guess Intel it's sort of the the clickbait title of today's stream on my half this is article from hot hardware been conferred by the Intel graphics Twitter account very official that Tom tap Peterson who is the for now former director of technical marketing at ed Nvidia has been snatched up by the folks at Intel longtime director of technical marketing yeah he started there in 2005 yeah and has a very extensive resume even before that you know he was he was a CPU engineer for a long time for IBM Motorola huge names Broadcom during this career at Nvidia he helped develop g-sync among a number of other huge things and he's got around 50 technical patents to his name this guy is basically an industry legend and very smart Paul and I have seen him around it I had the privilege of talking to him at several events here in there over the years he's also really a cool guy I really like Tom likes to every time I've met him he's just down there yeah very chill he'll talk to you about whatever and super nice so yeah so Intel's doing well right now with their talent acquisition it's it's crazy how people they how many different people that they have pulled from a wide variety of locations over the past year - ain't no money like Intel money yeah so that's it I mean for anyone who have use who views all competition is a good thing which is I think usually usually the case Intel come in strong with a third option for a gaming graphics option yeah would be I'm I'd be happy with that yeah until improving their integrated graphics and their CPUs as a result of adding this talent that's true I think also would be a nice thing you know I've recommended the AMD's 2200 G in 2400 G as this really nice entry-level build the computer parts because you can build a computer and you can game on it you don't have a discrete graphics card but it's it's good enough brain Intel not quite as much yeah there's you can do stuff on until integrated graphics but it's not that yeah so yeah so this can only mean good things for our friends at Intel until now has under their belt Jim Keller from AMD Raja Kaduri now working on their discrete graphics card Department also from AMD and Ryan trout from piece of perspective for hey buddy he's good piece I'll give him a shred up yo you're on top of it I quit in that term years ago oh I try to I try to get it out there but you need every so often to you need to trademark I have that's why he can't use it all and then sell his own name patent yeah to him so he can make shirts let's say give me a shroud out yep and then now they've got a good old good old tap so until is doing work they're doing work man and of course this makes us I would say even more excited to find out what what they're brewing in their discrete GPU market with their their new XE architecture and I have to imagine that um at Intel there will be slightly less chance that like an irate CEO will get really pissed at at him during when he's on stage absolutely in the demo doesn't go perfectly yeah right I mean that's that's got to be a silver lining to this as well well I was gonna say Tom Tom was already leaving in video one of two ways either getting snatched up by another company or getting fired by Jensen yeah it was one of those two and I'm glad it was the former that that was that was a that was a relationship that always kind of rode the line between like oh they have this kind of like banter going back and forth where they kind of give each other a hard time versus like is he really like you know at one point I don't know what's real anymore so but congratulations Tom we're happy for you and we're also I'm glad that we're still gonna get to potentially see you you know yeah you're in the industry stuff baby to stone the family all right moving on to Ars Technica article this has been all over the web though today a lot of tech news today a lot of juicy stuff about valve and their new VR headset that they've officially confirmed is coming in May it's called the valve index index index this is the single image they teased for everyone no other information was provided so it's got a sort of a darkened picture of the actual headset so this right here is obviously the bridge of the nose right so looks like they're facing it I thought that was worse okay oh I'm sorry maybe it's not maybe that's not a completely different it's fine I think you're right I think you're right that's let's proceed yeah what is what's this slider do what's that that's for the IPD that interpupillary dad but changes how how far the the lenses are away from each other so if you have like Gollum eyes eyes are super like you know we've got a hammerhead shark eyes on either side of your head like what's his dwarf ear in the cross Ohanian rhapsody what's his name again Freddie Mercury yeah okay played Freddie Mercury oh yeah Rahmi around me rami malek yeah run down yes the hammerhead syndrome he totally does his eyes are slightly wide say yeah right he done the slider all the way to one end yeah all right sounds good decide they can accommodate a wide range exactly the features it's doing it's deformed celebrity friendly here there's nothing over there your balls are already attached to you you can look them over you go talk to your mommy so um yeah go for it the single teaser images image shows uh you know that the front the front of it is kind of flanked by these two large sensors the rumors claimed that a little support a wider 135 degree field of view which is actually wider than the original HTC vive and the oculus rift which we're at like one around one 110 degrees so they did a high-contrast look so if you look they they overexposed the image so they could see more detail and try to find out more it's pretty good idea the dots they're talking the dots that they're talking about if you look they're kind of really hard to see but you see three of them on here and three of them right there so they're saying that there are similar dots on the vibe which might in which the vibe uses as an outside tracking sensor ah all of the vibes infrared trackers okay so that's kind of interesting the two giant lenses that you see at the top I think implied that inside out tracking managed entirely by the headset without any extra webcams or sensors may also be in the works the physical slider that I pointed out the IPD interpupillary distance okay for optimal comfort for your remy malik eyes and again a may 20 19 launch also means that this headsets gonna coincide coincidentally with the oculus rift the oculus quest I should say not the rift the oculus quest which is their wireless PC headset so as well as their PC connected oculus rift s so good good timing VR VR nuts who are looking for a new hmd are gonna have their options cut out for them come maybe this year in a new generation that's good and a new generation yeah hopefully cheaper too we are just keeps getting cheaper I may need to upgrade my VR stuff I need you use it first yeah I need to reset up the living room for it yeah yeah I'll do that when the htpc update happens here you know so exciting stuff if you're into VR very uninteresting if you're not so let's move on to our next article from WC CF tech this is also a headliner gtx 1650 gaming benchmarks leaked out who the low sort of entry-level successor to the the gtx 1050 yeah 1050 i almost forgot what it was the temperature the whole sixteen series just throws me all the numbers the nomenclature office it's all muddy now yeah so um this these are these are just uh you know benchmarks that were found on the Final Fantasy 15 benchmark database tested on 1080p with high quality settings had a score of thirty eight hundred and three points versus thirty seven hundred and twenty eight points on the Radeon rx 570 so edges out the competition slightly for around the same price more or less as what we would assume but not by a whole lot I mean 3700 to thirty-eight hundred points is pretty close but it's still better and you can find one around the same price and whine on the cards scored close to the GTX 1063 gigabyte model which scored thirty nine hundred and one point so if this is all rumored to be true and you know it's it's gonna perform similarly to how it did in the Final Fantasy 15 benchmark we can assume that the GTX 1650 is somewhere in between and rx 570 and potentially a GTX 1063 gigabyte Mont variants so that's pretty cool we have some anticipated specs again this is mostly rumored here we've got four gigs of DDR 5 on a 128 bit bus with eight gigabit per second speeds that's giving us 128 gigabytes a second of memory bandwidth and that's verses 112 gigabytes a second on the GTX 1050 so quite a bit quite a bit faster than its predecessor very much how we saw 1660 and 1660 TI outperform what gtx 960 and even a gtx 1060 by quite a bit and we also have potentially a thirteen hundred and ninety five megahertz base and fifteen hundred and 60 megahertz boost using a tu 117 GPU that's a first we haven't seen the TU 117 yet so little baby well baby GPU notable here is that there is potentially going to be a TI model and a non TI model and the TI model is obviously going to cost a little bit more and may potentially be on par with an RX 580 we don't know the pricing of course and it's also potentially going to feature GD d are six memory whereas the non TI versions gonna have five gddr5 so these are gonna be really powerful cards I mean even there they're older they're bigger brothers the GTX 16 16 and 16 60 TI are extremely power efficient these are potentially gonna be sub 100 watt TDP GPUs that won't require much to drive so you can expect adding board partner cards that launch custom models and stuff obviously there's actually me like that Edition or anything like that anything like that was there an expected reportedly launched on April 22nd okay yep 20 days people will just be getting over there there we'd hang over two days after at 4:20 when these cars go on sale those we'd hanger overs are killer and totally weak and requires all right so that's that's fun GTX 1650 keep your eyes out for that gel I haven't received one yet from Nvidia I couldn't even tell you if I did yeah it's very good know what it's like oh this is something for some reason that's associated with like the canary in the coal mine thank you something for me if it's like you can obviously tell people I I don't have one of these right I've heard nothing of this yes and then like a week from now you know like oh another leak of the 1650 whatever and then like silence a food that's the canary in the coal mine tell us it tells you that that's actually heaven right of course we wouldn't talk about that publicly no no definitely not fortunately this is all just a dream and I am a canary subhan to the article here we have hot hardware's article on Google+ being completely killed Google+ social media platform that was supposed to overtake Facebook at one point a good eight years ago is now dying how can how can you kill that which has no life that is true it never really took off it had very poor execution it launched in 2011 and it was just really really bad how they pitched it to people that you know for starters they forced YouTube users to have and create a Google+ account which no one was happy with remember that whole thing there's a show on YouTube here you're here picture or your banner go do that on Google+ they were really trying to cram it down our throats everything I've known as Google Plus has happened automatically because I did something on some other platform it's gonna do this on Google+ to uh sign whatever yep exactly so they were really just forceful with it and it totally backfired it just wasn't a great platform some of the concepts were fine like I kind of liked the idea of like being able to put people into circles and like creating a wall around certain people who I didn't want to see all my posts yeah I thought that was a cool idea but it just the whole execution was was pretty awful there was also a three year old security flaw that was discovered in early 2018 that wasn't disclosed into disclosed until later that year and that's what ultimately made Google decided to shut down the platform Google originally said we fix the flaw nah just shut the whole thing down exactly what do you do when no problem doing like it's kind of like you say too much down too much developer time and work on right just kill it yeah they cut their losses platform you know it's the best way to solve a problem you know on a platform that on the deserted platform really is to kill the platform itself and that's what ultimately led to its shut down um I'm okay with this I'm okay with it too oh let's see anything else here yeah they push the data up because originally there was a breach and they're like oh it's bad it's affecting half million people let's let's shut it down let's say August 2019 they set the date and then earlier I guess it was late last year there was another breach that affected potentially up to 52 million No so that's over a hundred hundred times what it originally was and then they're like alright we're gonna move the data up to April so now it's April and they're canning Google+ for good Google said that it's got very low engagement it's always had low engagement currently there's about 90 percent 90 percent of user sessions on the platform lasted less than five seconds which you know I can relate to which means someone went there was like I'm on Google+ exactly no yeah right where whenever yeah we've all been there for five seconds mm-hmm so rest in peace Google+ you will not be missed all right all right all right so I'm looks like about razor's turret gaming keyboard and mouse nice for the Xbox one which is now available we talked about this on a previous episode thank you hardware for the article this is for console this keyboard and mouse gaming peripherals typically associated with a PC now for Xbox what do you know and razors the first one to come to the scene with with the goods so the the peripherals feature Razer chroma 5g advanced optical sensors and a 2.4 gigahertz wireless connection you get a single unified dongle for the keyboard and mouse which I love unified down oh yeah it's the only way one type of dongle all I'll receive I'm a one songul kind of man all right both feature xbox dynamic lighting a thousand Hertz polling rate and Razer synapse three as for the keyboard if you got mechanical switches didn't say what kind of switches though it's probably Razer zone Razer switches mechanical switch I know they have their own kale okay third zero I thought they'd make them in-house no yeah they bought some they're just making their own boundary oh yeah man enough I don't know I've never reviewed that's weird I feel like a bad person now I've never reviewed or owned a razer keyboard in my life I'm sure you have you have raised your laptop so those have raised their keyboards in them those are different I mean like the desktop PC peripheral ones fair sure but anyway 50-gram actuation force 10 key roll over and anti-ghosting mid height keycap so somewhere in between low-profile and standard is where you'll find it just over 23 inches with the mouse tray expanded so it's kind of like the Razer lap dog in a way where it goes on your goes on your lap but it's got a little pullout tray whereas as opposed to just a fixed R a fixed extension on the Razer I'm sorry the coarser lap dog so it's kind of cool you can tuck it away if you want to because these are also compatible with PC as you might expect if you let's say you're a gamer who does both why not both you can easily switch between your console and PC the other thing here is that you know apart from being PC compatible the users can fully program all the keys on the keyboard and you'll also be offered further gaming options that aren't available on console the turn Mouse features a scroll wheel seven programmable buttons with onboard memory and cloud storage I have have unverified exclusive information from chat with that according to all ball one five six razer switches are now made by gree tech gree tech oh yeah I have heard that actually it's his base he's unfamiliar we all trust al Ball 156 but that doesn't send you know I think like an absurd claim to me I've definitely heard that before but can't confirm for sure the other thing oh I forgot to mention that you get 11 hours of battery life with the keyboard so obviously Wireless with that's with default lighting like the Box default lighting but you get up to 43 hours if you don't need lighting at all the mouse itself gets you 30 hours of battery with default lighting or 50 hours without a life cycle of 50 million clicks two year warranty with tech support and 14 days of risk free returns Paul without looking it without looking at the Google Doc how much do you think this set of peripherals goes for two hundred and forty nine dollars and ninety nine cents u.s. you son-of-a-bitch you looked at the Google but I wasn't looking at the Google Doc I was looking at the article damn it I forgot that I got the Google Doc from the article I should have I should have pinned the source he said that I would have I would have admitted if I was looking at it from there but I had just look no I don't yeah I just that's why I whistled anyone doesn't believe me go back like 10 20 seconds I was like clip that I was like I was like or something like that right I did that that's when I saw the price to 50 someone had someone meme that the moment like my face wine or like the moment when you see the price less steep now super steep so this is they're making this and marketing it directly for the consoles because yeah because support official support for that is coming isn't like I am very console ignorant I don't dabble in it very much at all seem like can't you plug in a keyboard and mouse to consoles aren't there ways to do that maybe not directly plug-and-play but isn't that something that already exists on some level yeah I don't know I I think some work better than others yeah some work better than others I think if it's wired though you can but to be honest no one's gonna want wired so maybe a wireless is so and Wireless is is more unreliable like you're not guaranteed support for a wireless keyboard or Mouse oh there are certain one there are certain ones that are like guaranteed to work that people on forums can confirm like yeah this works but for the most part this is just guaranteed to work it's you know seamless it's it's optimized for the platform and that that would be a good selling point for excuse me a console which would commonly be in the living room where wireless setup would be very nice I've been using I already met I think I said this last week the Corsair dark dark dark pro dark dark something pro dark dangit and I forget the name me too dark or dark or yes I've been using the Corsair dark dark or mouse yeah out of them living on your xbox yeah because I've been playing Grand Theft Auto right GTA 5 to go into the missions and keyboard you use with that I just I'm just using this the logitech wireless ok keyboards that I got it's it's it's more of a multimedia keyboard it's working but most of the time I'm on the controller it's only when I need to shoot stuff that I go forward and use the mouse and keyboard how's the mouse support in GTA 5 with the Xbox great is it really I'm not on the Xbox I'm on the PC oh okay I'm sorry I thought you were I'd be GTA 5 on Xbox 360 in 2013 but I never I've never played back through the missions since the PC update ok all the way through yeah that's and that's the other thing about like this price is that it's a lot of money to pay when you won't even be able to really use it at least to my knowledge you won't be able to really use it for every game right yeah take like cuz there are some games that are adding that already addresses the dark core which is an expensive Mouse it's nine bucks but apparently on sale for $80 a oh not sponsored by Corsair but that's it's been been doing good for me it pairs up with the keyboard to the case 64 right I also don't remember the model of that it's a six deep k 68 no k 65 KC maybe is case no it's not 64 any what's one of those so 250 would be fine because the thing is they haven't really added some K 6363 yeah geez I picked every number but that one they they they haven't added keyboard and mouse support natively too many games yet I mean I know fortnight is supported and even that's been kind of buggy at launch forget what I get but I guess if you want to give a comparison for the razer stuff to a company that makes similar products that have similar capabilities the lap board by itself is 60 bucks so plus just for the drop in 60 + 100 and yeah did you buy it as a combo is 160 that's not including the mouse mouse 70 or 80 so it's it's in the same price range yeah but that's still a lot of money it's a shit ton of money for peripherals I would buy it in a heartbeat if I was a hardcore Xbox one Xbox player whatever gamer I'd buy that set for 250 bucks in a heartbeat if every game was natively keyboard and mouse supported but because there's only a couple right now and even those out of that small group aren't great they still need a lot of work I I just don't know who's gonna buy that I don't know got RGB so far too reasonable Kyle got RGB alright next article from TechRepublic about the raspberry PI's new rival there's a new single board computer on the block and his name is oh joy joy oh joy - which is now on sale it's supposed to be one of the fastest sub $100 single board products computers on the market okay okay so it's like Raspberry Pi kind of like on steroids but of course it's gonna be a bit more expensive it's now available for sixty three dollars for a two gig model or $79 for a four gig model still under 100 bucks not too shabby 1.8 gigahertz arm core a 73 based processor and 21.9 gigahertz arm cortex a53 based processors with the SOC that's able to switch tasks between processors processors to save energy manufactured on the 12 nanometer process so that's gonna allow for top speed for longer before being throttled to reduce temperatures so that's kind of cool because obviously there's speaking of which there's probably no cooling on this thing either part yeah I don't think there is maybe a little heat sink or something board makers the board's makers show the CPU running about seven times faster than a Raspberry Pi 3 plus in several benchmarks although it's unclear if they were testing it against a b or b + model which is the the faster of the two when you're talking about Raspberry Pi it replaces last year's kind of canceled Odroid and one which was designed for high-end Android TV appliances compared to the Raspberry Pi B Raspberry Pi 3 B plus it's got a faster in more modern CPU ddr4 memory which enables 4k video playback of h.265 encoding encoded footage and it has four USB 3.0 ports with support for 128 gig emmc flash storage and true gigabit ethernet so it's packing a lot of power a lot more than a Raspberry Pi there are a couple downsides though you don't get built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth like you do with Raspberry Pi 3 mm which on a little thing I think that'd be a really handy feature to have so take your pick of course you can always think up those super tiny USB Wi-Fi adapters now as well but again you only have 4 ports to work with so gonna have to pick your battles here it's gonna be running a bun to 18.04 LTS as for its operating system which is officially supported until January of 2023 as well as Android 9 pi I don't know if that means it's running both or one or the other probably one or the other yeah ok at a time right oh and I'm not maybe you can dual boot time I don't I'm not sure I've never worked with any of these types of boards but the PI is allegedly easier if you're novice trying to get into this type of niche hobby there's more guides and resources online for Raspberry Pi owners then there are for this very new device there's a broad suite of supported operating systems and software if you're not familiar with these devices they have a range of uses they're low powered but they're also incredibly tiny and have quite a bit of connectivity as time goes on so you can use them as a media center file center maybe just an everyday computer I actually got a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ for Christmas last year and I haven't even opened it because I I kind of know what I want to do with it but I feel like it's just I know nothing about it and so like I know as soon as I start it it's gonna be the beginning of this long journey fun journey but it's it's gonna be a lot of like research and time that I put into it so dive in for the right I'm ready yeah I know I gotta get my feet wet heavy so that's cool let's see our last article is from overclocked 3d so Galax Marek you know Galax right good old Galax what's their name I preferred them before they dropped the y-yeah galaxy was like a real word that didn't sound weird okay but they've launched their Hall of Fame series m2 SSD that has an integrated heat pipe what it's an all-white Hall of Fame and about two SSD packing a massive heat pipe heatsink and Toshiba made 64 layer 3d TLC nan so it's got triple level cell Mandarin Andres match and it's got no RGB lighting on it not a speck of lighting okay I appreciate that however it's got the heat sink that's CNC machined with integrated heat pipe resulting in a white copper and silver aesthetic as you can see which you know match with most most systems out there but ducts thick it is very thick looks like a whole pack of gum instead of just one stick the funny thing to point out about the heat sinks on the on the the m-dot to nvme SSDs NAND actually does better when it's less hot like you want your NAND to be warmer it's to a point it's the controller oh yeah the controller controller that you need to keep cool so as you're curious where this heat pipe goes I would assume it goes over they control but also it looks like they just bend it around and kind of goes across the top here which seems yeah I don't know weird is that just being them being like look we put a heat pipe in here right we need to tear down normally the heat pipe would solder to like a bank of copper fins or something like that I don't know I don't know what's going on with the housing here I would assume it's some kind of heat sink or something like that but it looks like it's more designed for aesthetics than it is for heat dissipation so yeah all right I'd be very curious to see what's under the hood if it's actual individual fin arrays like if it's our fin fins or if it's just a piece of metal yeah you know I mean like a solid block or like a GPU heatsink or like a CPU heatsink where it's it's got fins I'm not sure exactly what it's gonna look like or how the heat pipe interfaces with the rest of but I mean it's also possible that they only needed needed a finite amount of cooling to keep the thing - a lot of the thing to perform but then in spec yeah and that most of the design is aesthetic because once they did whatever they did you know it was kind of getting the job done I guess no but I'm sure this will be put to rigorous testing by lots of people yeah and we'll find that out in the future yep but that's okay I guess I'll just really quickly read off the speeds here 3400 I'm sorry yeah thirty four hundred and two thousand megabytes per second respectively for sequential reads and writes that's for the 512 gigabyte model but you go up to 2,800 megabytes per second for your sequential writes if you opt for the one terabyte or two terabyte variant 400,000 random read I ops and we have your pretty standard 2280 form factor pcie 3.0 by four-lane config using a face on controller right now this is focused on the Chinese market and we may see it come overseas in the future but for now I wouldn't expect to find these on the shelves of your local Micro Center anytime soon where are you going what what are you unboxing this wasn't planned this isn't in the show duck gigabyte allowed to switch things up Boris would or a gigabyte Drive do you guys want me to unbox this Oh Gary I don't think so that's always the most and this was given to me I was not sure there's any NDA or anything like the most reassuring one because you mentioned a phazon controller uh-huh which makes me think that under the hood these are very similar sequential reads 34 80 megabytes per second which is fairly close pretty much in the ballpark 3400 megabytes per second writes 2000 megabytes per second yeah exact same for that this is a 512 gig right so does that have a heatsink and a heat Python I don't know it's where did you get that it's heat shrink on the debate welcome to their I broke into their factory oh I want to break in why don't you invite me they're just getting ahead knives I went there to get something else and he was like here try this out - that's pretty much okay this is I'm doing a very poor job unboxing it yeah you're terrible so this is the Auris RG o its RGB it is all RGB m dot o R is RGB m dot 2 nvme I already know fast 512 gigs comes in this little box just like this it looks like you're unboxing jewelry sleek packaging every kiss begins with Oh where's my knife they might have grabbed that here no no no the orange handled one is a flathead this is a noise or slot yeah this is available use the lever it really does stick in there like this is what what lipsticks it's just the upper boxes are yeah tight oh there we go very tighten that oh it's pretty nice pretty fancy try not to get the glare on it there that's also a bit on the thicker side yeah so she said does have a heatsink on it but at least that heat sink it's it's RGB if you're gonna put right fat heatsink on there that helps the cooling mat as well do some RGB on it right look it's got a black PCB under there so there's only the logo that lights up yeah okay and because it's gigabyte they they're doing communications through the MDOT to slot so you'd know it I do not believe this requires like you to wire some weird plug down there to plug in are that's good so it can actually control it with the the or software you see this there you go okay okay alright that's the end of your half of the show right that's it I'm done hey yep alright we'll be right back guys hey thank you in advance to anyone who wants to do time stands for my half oh yeah thank you I love you and you can have my babies I'll be back for my half of the show links in the description and hit the thumbs up button on Kyle's half of the show if you put blood sweat and tears this happens episode I did you show him respect and other bodily fluids that she'll be not named alright TMI we should probably go yeah
