hey Ron i'm steve from gamers nexus net and this is your weekly news recap of the hardware news the past couple of days our game and news recap should be on the channel shortly if not already that covers the game stuff so now we're talking our hardware the main news item off the top here is AMD's production of 14 nanometer FinFET lpp chips which are low power plus they're called this is in cooperation with GlobalFoundries the fabrication plant actually working on the production of these chips and GlobalFoundries announced that the 14 nanometer lpp chips have achieved a level of success that they feel comfortable pushing into production so AMD and GlobalFoundries are now producing their 40 nanometer chips and is and are assuring output of them into consumer and enterprise products in 2016 so you can expect 14 nanometer lpp devices in 2016 and these will include high power compute applications consumer applications GPUs things of that nature so it will be used in items that we on the gaming side will actually see on the market which is pretty exciting to see a new process on its way from AMD and GlobalFoundries and of course we can't talk about Andy without also talking about nvidia and vidya posted its financial data for quarter 3 2015 today and projected out into 2016 so we have a good look at the future here and for now they've reported record revenue at 1.30 5 billion a seven percent year-over-year growth and the ga AP reports are looking at a fifteen percent year-over-year growth you can find more information on the financials and all of that in the link in the description below bouncing back to Andy in our tennis match between the two major manufacturers Andy this week announced its Radeon software a company meant for its GPU so this is replacing catalyst control center which will now be retired radeon software is expected in the next few weeks and we already have a full video about this on the channels check that out for full details but the software aims to produce a minimalistic interface that's updated modern all these buzzwords that am used in their call and they're hoping to sort of upgrade functionality to make it a little bit easier to use than the catalyst control center which even though it works fine sometimes it does look a bit dated and so does the Nvidia control center for that matter but moving forward and they will be switching to radion software and they are retiring CCC check the other video for full information on that the next news item is about liquid cooling so e KW b or EK water blocks as they're more commonly known announced their prefilled liquid blocks for the predator aio system and this is an interesting aio liquid cooling solution in that it's not the standard aio it's on the standard all-in-one so the predator system uses quick disconnects or QDC and this is all built using technology that we saw a few years ago with PNY and service solutions and things like that the thing with the predator is that it's got one tube with QDC in it and then you can plug in other systems so if you want to have a sort of closed loop cooling solution for your cpu and your GPU you can do that with the QDC valves which allow an airtight connection of the tubes from multiple radiators multiple pumps without going to a full open loop solution which might be intimidating to some builders and a certainly price prohibitive so that is the ek predator we haven't tested it yet we're not sure it's actually good how it works but we will try and get our hands on one for a future video and article cryo rig and other liquid cooling news has announced its new a series of liquid coolers and these are pretty interesting these actually mount the fan on the cpu block and the pump so there's a 70 millimeter fan mounted on the pump and block and this is meant for cooling nearby components like the vrm which gets pretty hot so if you've got an overclocking system and you're burning up your vrm heatsink the problem with using an aio or any liquid cooling is that there's no drafted air through a normal air cooler to cool down neighboring components Ram is another one so this block ads the 70 millimeter fan on the top of the CPU itself and then feeds to normal radiator as these are available in 240 millimeter and 280 millimeter variance with different size radiators so there are thicker ones and thinner ones depending on your space in your enclosure but this also impacts the cooling efficacy so that's the cryo rig a series at liquid cooling solution like the ek stuff we'll try and look at these but as always check link in description below for more information that is it for your weekly hardware news recap check the channel for the game news recap and as always hit that patreon link the postural video helps us out a lot I will see you all next time
