HW News - China Bans Micron, GTX 1160, Intel's 8-Core CPU

2018-07-07
everyone welcome back to hardware news for the week this one we're announcing a live stream of ours which might turn into a 1v1 me bro versus builds or later I'm sure that all important for me but whatever we are also talking about a lot of huge news in the industry one of the news items is about China and a court order temporarily banning the sale of micron devices in China there's also news on Intel 9000 series not necessarily ninth gen but 9000 series CPUs and some news on nvidia gtx 11 60s and 11 80s as leaked oops by Lenovo an official partner before that this video is brought to you by thermal grizzlies high-end thermal paste and liquid metal thermal grizzlies cryo knot is an affordable high quality thermal compound that doesn't face some of the aging limitations of other pastes on the market cryo knot has a thermal conductivity of 12.5 watts per meter Kelvin focuses on endurance is easy to spread and isn't electrically conductive making it safe to use on GPU dies thermal grizzly also makes conductor not liquid metal which we've used to drop 20 degrees off some temperatures than our dee-lighted test by a tube at the link in the description below so for the first thing the GN news the live stream will be in a few days so Wednesday July 11th at 6 p.m. Eastern Time on YouTube and we're gonna be doing an ad 86 K over clock alive possibly with the good old Titan V that we've shelved the since our rip Ltd stream so should be a lot of fun in the stream I'll set some goals for what fire strikes core whatever benchmark views we're trying to achieve what frequency were trying to achieve I have not done anything with this 8086 K it just came in my plans are to probably deal it apply liquid metal something like that put under a big cooler and we'll just see how far we can put it should be a lot of fun to watch and see if we can achieve the goals that we set forth with and then the goal from there is to take that experience from that stream and hopefully do a 1v1 vs. build Zoid later on where the hope is that he'll be able to stream to an ingest server we have here and then we'll take that video and manipulate it so that he loses actually probably what we'll do is we'll take video and be able to put out his stream and our stream at the same time through just the GN livestream so you'll be able to watch both of us compete for overclocks against each other spoiler alert he will win but I'll put up a really good fight so it should be a lot of fun and maybe he'll hold back some hold pull some punches too while he's at it final news item from us is the limited edition shirt that I've been talking about that foil shiny one is going to be ending the presale that'll be it basically on next week or this week basically after the livestream will be ending sometime the next few days thereafter because we're almost out of inventory already and we want to hand onto at least a couple for when it actually arrives if you don't want a pre-sale but if you want to definitely make sure you get one period right now on stored on Aaron's axis net it's limited edition we will not make it again and it's the foil version of our 10 year anniversary shirt design first real news item chinese court orders and a temporary ban on micron component sales following a patent lawsuit micron has been issued a preliminary injunction halting the sales of more than 26 of their products in China including DRAM and NAND initial reports indicated that this might have been much more significant than micron seems to think it will be naturally because micron is not going to admit that it's going to kill their sales but they do have a good idea of what's happening to so temporary ban is following a legal battle with UMC which is United at micro electronics corporation where a Chinese Court ruled in favor of UMC following a patent infringement case brought against micron by UMC UMC sought action against micron last January and they accused micron of infringing on their patents relating to memory and storage the case itself is part of a bigger battle that's been going on for a while between micron and UMC we're micron maintains that UMC has acted as a conduit for theft of patents and trade secrets and they're trying to micron seems to be indicating that this is in effort of bolstering China's domestic memory ambitions something that the Chinese government has been interested in for quite some time now once news broke of the injunction micron stock fell as much as percent whereas UMC's rose by two point nine percent but there's a sock market so that doesn't really mean a whole lot micron following this news story there's another one that's brand new micron issued a statement on this patent lawsuit and related to the previous story micron said on July fifth the following the patent infringement claims of UMC and jinhua were filed against micron in retaliation for criminal indictments filed by Taiwan authorities against UMC and three of its employees and a civil lawsuit filed by micron against UMC and genoise in the United States District Court for California for the misappropriation of micron trade secrets micron expects the actual impact on this band from the Chinese market to be less than 1% of its revenue for the year annualized and the band specifically outlaws some crucial and ballistics DRAM modules not a big Dominator in the market anyway oh that was a good pun Dominator which cut the DRAM modules for crucial and ballistics comprised under two percent of microns total annualized revenue and the company states that it is on target to hit 8.0 28.4 billion for the year which is what it targeted previously the company is however appealing the case and micron also issued this further statement micron is disappointed with the ruling by the Intermediate People's Court we strongly believe that the patents are invalid and that microns products do not infringe the patents the court issued this preliminary ruling before allowing micron an opportunity to present its defense and related to this micron has filed its civil lawsuit against UMC in California Intel news next so there's been some discussion of potentially ninth gen or at least 9000 series 8th gen parts the coffee lake lineup not clear on what's happening exactly yet with those but we did receive some substantial documents relating to this and then some of its already been posted online so between those two sources of information what we know is the following basically it's looking like there's going to be an I 594 109 596 hundred ninety-six hundred K this is really not that surprising at this point 9400 t and what we really need to know though is how these change versus the existing coffee like line up so first of all this is something that Intel accidentally posted in its micro code revision guidance document and we have all of them one of them is 574 pages lon and another 160 pages of just CPUs and specifications so the SKUs seem to retain the same core counts and TDP roughly for all the ones I just named and the TDP envelope has their predecessors but they ratchet up frequencies by 100 to 200 megahertz out of the box and cache size and socket type all remain the same as well what is additionally interesting and we have some tables on this from from another website we'll put the source on the table when we pop it up but we have some tables with specs additional news though 8 core parts can be seen referenced in the 574 page Intel document that we obtained I think they might have accidentally posted online as well so this specifically identifies boost behavior for 8 core products which means yes it is coming if you didn't already think that and there's a rumor - I $9.99 100k that is rumored to be 8 core 16 thread or an i7 9700 k room it has 6 core 12 threads none of that's confirmed but it does seem likely that there will definitely be an a core part because Intel specified it in that document as a quick aside for that news story Intel is approaching their 50th anniversary and co-founder of Intel and father of Moore's law Gordon Moore has offered some interesting insight to the history of the company we'll post a link in our news document where we have the show notes if you want to read it and get some a history background it's an interesting read and worth clicking on hit the link in the description below for the news dog and pick up that link next up very briefly Nvidia and some GPU leaks so some of these are more legitimate than others because Lenovo of all people have been out there accidentally leaking things Lenovo recently let slip that the Legion Y 530 laptop will ship with the GTX 1160 allegedly which will apparently have 6 gigabytes of memory we would assume it would be G DDR 6 at this point since that's what most if not all the next series of GPS will be using at least on the high end and this is after previously talking on camera about lenovo's plans to push a gtx 1180 for its desktops in the 730 series of desktops when speaking with a gaming publication on youtube I believe called brain beam where they accidentally said that an 1180 will ship down the road sigue is a means return to the consumer markets the Seagate 600 and 600 Pro from 2013 were the last consumer focused SSDs from Seagate this week the company announced that they plan to bring their Barracuda SSD to the consumer segment I'll be it specs and prices at this point are scarce the an intact story notes that it most likely uses the gen 64 l 3d NAND and it has an unspecified controller Barracuda is a 2.5 inch SATA based SSD with capacities up to 2 terabytes and the Drive offers speeds expectant with the SATA interface 540 megabyte per second or so sequential read and 520 sequential write 90 ki ops random read at this point we're against the SATA interface anyway and there's also supposed to be a five-year warranty but not super interesting as just sea gates looking to come back to SSDs apparently and then some additional news here hardware sales and GN news one more note this blue print shirt I'm wearing if you wanted it when we launched it it sold out instantly thank you for those of you picked it up took us a couple weeks to get it back in stock but it's back now so in store dye game is X it's not net you can grab this or the limited edition shirt if you want either one of those they are in stock and basically all the sizes that we carry and we did pick up a couple of exercises for the blue print shirts and then hardware sales so gtx 1070 is are still a good price right now 4k monitors we also noticed are on pretty good discounts overall so we'll post some links to those or pop Newegg up on the screen while I'm talking right now with a couple of the sales that we saw for those they do change basically every day at this point but unfortunately and I've tracked RX Vega 56 is still not that great of a deal we really want it to be because if it gets closer to its original MSRP plan that was a actually a really fun card to work with one of the most fun TV as we worked with last year in terms of ability and also pretty competitive at the target price and its original MSRP it's just it's still not down unfortunately part of that is because Vega has retained its mining abilities whereas the Pascal cards have fallen off a bit so unfortunately we keep looking we haven't seen any Vega sales yet but we'll let you know as soon as we do because Vega 56 was actually a fun card to work with and pretty worth it at the right price Vega 64 not so much just because 56 is so close to it already and you can flash it but that's it for this one as always stored on cameras axis Donette to pick up the stuff mentioned in this video go to patreon.com/scishow cameras next stops out directly there as well or get access to our discord server subscribe for more I'll see you all next time
