bye so hey guys we are actually in taipei i'm here with sam i was a very long 20 hour flight away all the way from Toronto but seems like we are well I am recharge than the big day tomorrow minus one to the big show on Tuesday but this is Sam finally get to meet the guy who does all our news and post like that so Sam what are your anticipations for the show how you feel about it what are we to see at computex 2013 we're looking for a cpu showdown because in one corner will have AMD with to mash and another quarter will have Intel with pass well I mean both are going for the low-power mobile systems which is where the growth is right because Intel they own the high-powered x86 sector right at the same time though it's not growing I mean you can have these fast chips without the growth there you've got no money coming in so we're going to both see we're going to see both companies going for mid-range milk powered ships to power the next generation of tablets of smartphones and that kind of stuff right what about gear tell me earlier excited about Thunderbolt do you want to talk about that yeah so last year from the boat came out on pc Thunderbolt was also on Mac at first with the new macbook pros and imacs but we saw last year the coming-out party thunderbolts on the pc platform now the question is has it be successful I mean can it compete against the USB 3 USB 3 is you know well used with with cameras with hard drives so it's got that market down pat can intel thunderbolt come out and take it away so talking about Windows 8 I know windows 8 made its first appearance in computex and 2011 so moving two years forward where are we expecting to see with Windows 8 what's the progression what's the anticipation so when those day was supposed to be a hardware agnostic OS right having those eights on the pc platform on the mobile platform on the tablet platform the problem is though it's done well and PC somewhat you could say but on the mobile side of things on tablets and smartphones hasn't taken off the windows service was a great platform a great tablets the problem is though it hasn't sold it's the question is fast forward two years if I was 2013 Windows 8 is out it's mature OS now what will a next-gen bring us we have better devices by their tablets better smartphones within those phone will really have second-rate yoga devices that can't come close to talk to your Android or iOS devices right and we are we hear that asus has something new to bring to the table perhaps like a smaller tablet that features windows 8 so very excited to check that out will compete actually become more or less a tablet and smartphone show I mean there's always a market for great motherboards I great cases all that kind of stuff the problem is though the growth is not in motherboards I mean I love gigabytes I love all these manufacturers but they aren't growing yeah we see growth from a soups we see growth from a stir because they have a solid platform for tablet applets and then pushing forward with that because they realizing that that's where the market is they there's there's some enthusiasts who really want the best motherboards and the best cases and all but really the market isn't there there so there it's it's a good thing to see companies reach out for those markets and they're here they're realizing that the market is elsewhere and they're tapping into that I think the big the bose this show will be the eighth inch tablet or 7-inch tablets with the nexus 7 it really pioneered that form factor people don't want the 10 inch tablet sluggish tablet they want that smaller 7-inch device and so all these manufacturers will probably have this show the next gen of their 7-inch devices running perhaps on the Tegra 4 platform or the new Snapdragon platform or heck even Intel's Atom platform and so the next thing is aimed ease come back I mean they were in a tough position on the market share and so we've seen that my main thesis actually reached out and you know emerged from the clouds really with some great products and so what do you would he see him these heading towards I see a head towards Redemption look Rory readers Te'o's Messiah he inherited the company that was plagued with problems it lost his bet staff it lays off its best you know VP's and engineers yeah I know his brother come the back you know it's not uh it's making money it's still in lots of debts but they have a very solid lineup of mobile chips based on the new Jaguar core so I'm looking to see all these new AMD chips coming out in the next gen of the notebooks of tablets that current stuff right and so yeah we're get a lot of that lined up for the show which starts on jun 3rd tomorrow is the pre-show so minus one will get to see what's going to happen at computex 2013 but you guys stick around for the main show starting june third and we'll see you guys back here at hydro canucks you
