welcome back to the hardware box news corner today's video is gonna hopefully be a bit of a shorter one as I reckon I'm getting a cold which is just fantastic and most of the topics from this week are more rumours than anything else but before I get into the news though a quick reminder for those that are supporters of us through patreon we've recently uploaded a number of behind-the-scenes videos with more to come the latest one involves Steve teasing a certain AMD launched along with a short tour of his studio so check the links out that in the description below all right on with the news in this first one is brief straightforward nvidia is hosting an event at Gamescom on August 20th titled GeForce gaming a celebration invidious description of the event suggest there will be new exclusive hands-on demos of the hottest upcoming games stage presentations from the world's biggest game developers and some spectacular surprises at this point you'd think in video will definitely be launching new GeForce graphics cards at this event but of course we don't know for sure but surely this is the case however as always temperature expectation is because Nvidia could very well not launch new cards and it certainly wouldn't be the first time they have teased events at various conferences only to rock up without any new GPU news but with everything everyone has been hearing for months now it sounds like this one will be the real deal speaking of new Nvidia cards a photo of a new NVIDIA PCB emerged this week through Baidu video cards are suggesting this is for the gtx 2080 though it could be named the gtx 1180 who knows and of course the PCB could actually be for something else entirely like a Quadro card but it does at least look like a legitimate PCB for an upcoming unannounced product interesting things to note here is the lack of an SLI connector instead there's an NV link type connector at the top which matches up with rumors suggesting and videos moving to NV link for new gaming products there's also a relatively small pin area for the GPU and the cards power design includes a 10 phase of erm with a 6 + 8 pin power connectors which is an increase on the GTX 1080 that use just an 8 pin connector will be interesting to see if this is the real deal come the official launch of invidious next-gen GPUs may as well get all the next-gen G force room is out of the way now this one is a leak showing manly technologies and in the video GPU vendor registered an ECC certificate on July 20th that includes the words GA 104 and GA 104 - 400 in the listing along with many other GPU names like GF 104 GP 104 and so forth this is either a placeholder for the real names of these upcoming GPUs or next gen geforce cards are using GA 100 series GPUs possibly referring to the codename ampère rather than cheering both code names have appeared during this rumour cycle with cheering the more recent of the two as of right now the references to GA 104 are still up in the listing what has been modified our references to the gtx 2080 and gtx 2070 that appeared in a separate listing these were probably typos anyway as the list includes the gtx 1050 and the gtx 1060 but not the gtx 1070 and gtx 10a first thing as of right now has removed not just that 2080 and 2070 references but the rest of the 10 series as well except for the GT 1030 I've seen this room would pop up in a lot of places but I wouldn't be taking this as a confirmation of what the new GPUs will be called those are still up in the air at the moment as soos has accidentally published a list of motherboards that use the Zen 390 chipset which Intel still hasn't officially announced the list appears to be basically a Souza's entire lineup spanning 19 products five product lines and three separate form factors I'm not going to read out every name because that would be painfully boring but essentially there are six ROG Maximus boards for ROG Strix boards including a mini ITX offering five boards in the tough line three in the prime line and a single dragon board exclusive to China only the tough and prime lines include micro ATX ports nothing super surprising here just a standard refresh from said 370 to Z 390 msi has confirmed through a news post that there's at 370 boards will support Intel's upcoming and yet to be officially announced 9000 series CPUs through a BIOS update the post doesn't say what ninth gen CPUs will be supported so it's still unclear whether said 370 will support everything including the eight core chips or just the core i5 line and below which are basically three brands of existing 8th gen cpu's still if you have a said 370 board it looks like you'll be able to slot you in at least some ninth gen without upgrading the entire platform electrode map has suggested Intel will launch their new coffee lake s processes in both six core and a covariance in October specifically we'll be getting the i9 9900 ki7 9700 K&I v 9600 k then with more chips scheduled for q1 of 2019 the roadmap also suggests we'll get a basement vault refresh in October in other words we'll be getting new h EDT chips from intel although it only listed up to an 18 core process or 165 watts rather than they're supposed 28 Courtship Intel discussed at Computex this roadmap and document looks exactly like some of the official documents we know Intel ships to the OEM so it's either a very good fake or it is illegitimate and I reckon this one is bang on the money DG x claims the DRAM industry will be over supplied in 2019 citing industry sources as always the unreliable website suggests capacity increases at micron and improvements that Samsung and SK Hynix as well will lead to more memory on the market this should result in lower prices stay predicted way back in January that memory prices would come down in 2019 so I hope for his ego that the report is complete crap so he doesn't come and gloat about it in that discord or Skype chats and I know you messaged me about this pi the news corner when you watch it steam I know you watch these things right till the end final news topic of the week Logitech has acquired Blue Microphones who make some quality podcasting star microphones like the Yeti and snowball where you've probably seen streamers use of them and we've got a few as well the deal was done for 117 million dollars in cash and will strengthen logitech's peripheral lineup that's it for this week's news corner hopefully I don't get any sicker in the coming days subscribe if you want this segment in your inbox every Friday consider supporting us through our patreon to get exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content and I'll catch you in the next one
