[0.00 --> 21.12] And we're live! Welcome to the WAN Show! Sorry guys Luke couldn't join us yet, don't worry he'll be here in a little bit, but for now, Slenderman will be taking his place while I introduce the topics for the day and all that good stuff because Luke is actually finishing up what will be tomorrow's vide...
[21.12 --> 38.12] We're gonna be covering the ASUS Gladius ROG mouse. It was supposed to be an Assassin's Creed Unity performance guide with a bunch of graphics cards and benchmarking and all that stuff, but I'll let him cover when he gets back why that didn't happen.
[38.12 --> 48.12] Yeah, it was pretty bad. So we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today, aside from that, and AMD has released the Mantle Public SDK.
[48.12 --> 61.12] So they are pretty much inviting everyone with some need to have a super like bear to the metal graphics API, whether it's game developers or say for example other hardware manufacturers.
[61.12 --> 70.12] They are inviting everyone to the party. AT&T is acting like a small child about the ongoing net neutrality debate in the US.
[70.12 --> 75.12] And honestly, this is just unreal, so we'll give you more details on that.
[75.12 --> 84.12] And the Nvidia Shield tablet is gonna be one of the first devices not made by Google to feature the new Android 5.0 Lollipop OS.
[84.12 --> 89.12] Oh, also, I guess, you know, grid game streaming went out of beta, so we'll talk about that as well.
[89.12 --> 98.12] But for now, I gotta roll the intro to buy myself some time to go ahead and get our announcement video up that we're live. So that's a thing.
[98.12 --> 109.12] Oh, there's no music in this one, I swear. One of these days, I'm gonna figure out which one has the music and this is not gonna happen anymore.
[109.12 --> 119.12] Do tu tu, tu tu tu tu, tu tu, tu do you Dieu哪e due de halæ, addliker Humal, addlj das, addlikerHan from the nutrintest.
[119.12 --> 124.12] Oh yeah, one of our sponsors today is Squarespace!
[124.12 --> 128.62] Actually, there's a bunch of new and really cool stuff about Squarespace for this week.
[128.62 --> 130.12] We'll be covering that a little bit later.
[130.12 --> 135.00] And our second sponsor for today, ignore that one that flashed in between, that wardrobe
[135.00 --> 137.64] malfunction, is Phantom Glass.
[137.64 --> 143.86] Visit store.phantom.glass to learn more about the last screen protector you will ever need.
[143.86 --> 147.72] That's their slogan, and I actually believe it in this case.
[147.72 --> 151.68] It's a Gorilla Glass cover for your Gorilla Glass, so you can Gorilla will you Gorilla.
[151.68 --> 154.44] Alright, now I'm going to go ahead and finish this.
[154.44 --> 157.44] Click now to watch live.
[157.44 --> 162.96] http.com slash slash twitch.tv slash latest tech.
[162.96 --> 163.96] Boom!
[163.96 --> 165.54] Alright, that video's up.
[165.54 --> 167.54] So let's jump right into our first topic.
[167.54 --> 173.56] AMD releases public mantle SDK, well, this year.
[173.56 --> 176.72] So let's go ahead and first give credit to our OP.
[176.72 --> 182.94] So Teraflop posted this on the Linus Tech Tips forum, and the original article is from,
[182.94 --> 189.44] and I know these guys aren't the most popular source of news on the Linus Tech Tips forum,
[189.44 --> 196.44] but WCCF Tech posted that it is coming this year, and AMD has basically come out and said,
[196.44 --> 200.32] look, Nvidia and Intel, we want you guys to use it.
[200.32 --> 202.66] You can use it for free.
[202.66 --> 207.16] Now, Intel has expressed some interest in mantle, apparently.
[207.16 --> 215.66] Um, Nvidia, on the other hand, has not been that warm, and has not been that friendly to the whole idea,
[215.66 --> 219.88] but, I mean, this was something that we've talked about in the past as well.
[219.88 --> 226.88] It might not necessarily be about mantle being the API for, you know, every future game,
[226.88 --> 233.88] although they do have a surprising number of games on the list of already released,
[233.88 --> 239.10] to be released soon, and currently in development that are supporting this technology.
[239.10 --> 245.10] But it might not end up being mantle API that, you know, the game runs on ultimately five years from now.
[245.10 --> 252.40] But, what's great about them opening up the kimono a little bit like this is Kronos and Microsoft,
[252.40 --> 257.56] so the OpenGL and DirectX guys have already said that they are looking at mantle,
[257.56 --> 261.62] and possibly implementing various parts of it in their own API.
[261.62 --> 266.08] So, I mean, OpenGL has the advantage of its ubiquity.
[266.08 --> 271.94] I mean, you can run OpenGL games on a tablet, or you can run them on a PC.
[271.94 --> 274.50] Um, so, that's really cool.
[274.50 --> 278.42] DirectX, of course, has that amazing backwards compatibility,
[278.42 --> 283.22] as well as that enormous industry-wide support on the PC side of things.
[283.22 --> 289.68] And, so, if either of those get anything positive out of AMD's public mantle SDK,
[289.68 --> 293.14] then that's, uh, that's absolutely fantastic.
[293.14 --> 297.86] So, that's, I mean, it's, it's incredible how much momentum it's gained,
[297.86 --> 300.94] and yet how it might not end up being the winner.
[300.94 --> 304.86] But, there's no question that mantle has pushed the industry forward,
[304.86 --> 309.66] and we should definitely be thankful for that.
[309.66 --> 310.58] Alright.
[310.58 --> 311.58] Alright.
[311.58 --> 313.58] I just, I, you know,
[313.58 --> 315.58] let's do a straw poll here.
[315.58 --> 316.38] I want to hear from you guys.
[316.38 --> 317.38] Okay.
[317.38 --> 318.38] Straw poll.
[318.38 --> 327.10] Will NVIDIA provide any kind of mantle support?
[327.10 --> 328.10] Yes.
