[0.00 --> 8.50] boom and we're live hey all right hey welcome to the WAN show this week we have John it's been a |
[8.50 --> 14.20] while it has been a while I do you remember the last time no I don't I remember the audience I |
[14.20 --> 19.44] vaguely remember a Santa hat maybe so it's probably been a while okay but yeah that might have been |
[19.44 --> 25.42] the like I I've done this every year where I bring each person onto the show yeah at the end |
[25.42 --> 29.98] well it might have been that yeah when I got stuck at the U.S. border people are saying John but |
[29.98 --> 35.32] they're spelling it wrong oh no someone spelled it right that happens literally every time like it |
[35.32 --> 39.90] happens to me on Twitter and my name is right there it's on Twitter and they send you a message |
[39.90 --> 44.36] it has the at and then the correct spelling of your name and if you're on the forum you might know |
[44.36 --> 49.42] in my signature I say I stole my name without an h people still get it wrong so I'm just I'm used to |
[49.42 --> 54.16] it by now I don't even notice it anymore yeah well that's a lie I do but you know my problem is that |
[54.16 --> 60.82] I know like three different spellings of John well no one of them is Johnny I guess oh yeah okay |
[60.82 --> 67.96] his is like actually kind of weird for a Johnny what is because it's five letters yeah yeah so I |
[67.96 --> 73.22] don't know yeah we're talking about the guy that does some of our server work here who is also my |
[73.22 --> 78.30] landlord funnily enough and and people have seen him on camera yeah they have so yeah Johnny's Johnny's |
[78.30 --> 83.82] basically the nicest person on the entire planet but he can't make it to so every single year I will get |
[83.82 --> 88.20] into the show in a second don't worry but every single year since I was like 15 I've been going |
[88.20 --> 94.08] to PAX West and I bring all my friends every time and Johnny can't make it this time and really very |
[94.08 --> 99.42] weird it's actually like very very weird that he's not going to be that really is strange uh the rest |
[99.42 --> 103.22] of people that have been going that are going to be going are all like it's so weird that Johnny's |
[103.22 --> 107.44] not gonna what are we gonna do I don't know I feel like he would be the straw that serves a drink |
[107.44 --> 112.34] so to speak so yeah yeah so it'll be it'll be interesting but it should be good this week we have |
[112.34 --> 117.12] interesting news because like Computex is happening and E3 is right around the corner and all this kind |
[117.12 --> 121.62] of stuff there's interesting stuff going on we don't have a lot of gaming news quite yet because |
[121.62 --> 129.30] I think that'll probably be next week um but we've got Intel news a unnamed 28 core 56 thread CPU |
[129.30 --> 136.26] we've got news about second gen Threadripper being on track for a Q3 2018 launch that means this |
[136.26 --> 141.92] year also massive changes to the Steam store we were talking about this recently on a WAN show |
[141.92 --> 146.84] it's gonna be crazy I actually think it's super cool but we'll talk about that later there's an |
[146.84 --> 155.34] obscene amount of notes on that uh AMD unveiling a 7 nanometer GPU that's insane gigabyte making fake |
[155.34 --> 161.92] RAM and it's actually really cool so it's kind of like bonded leather |
[161.92 --> 168.74] I understand that and then actually my favorite news of this week even though it doesn't necessarily |
[168.74 --> 175.78] sound super cool see Sonic introducing SCMD and your cable clutter it's amazing I can't show you |
[175.78 --> 181.70] what it is right now I'm getting one for surezies but we'll have to talk about that later I'm constantly |
[181.70 --> 186.08] kicking the cables underneath my desk in my office they won't help you with that it's like cables |
[186.08 --> 191.68] inside your computer but it's super cool we'll get there later boom it worked this week is going |
[191.68 --> 203.24] well yes it was going well until I died I guess rip also Anthony Bourdain died yes I know very sad |
[203.24 --> 213.36] he was what 61 I think I don't know I liked him though that sucks fresh books fresh books LTX be there |
[213.36 --> 219.02] or or don't but preferably be there if you can because it's cool and I'd like to say hi also |
[219.02 --> 227.18] Squarespace yeah I'm gonna put this back up here and we're back boom okay that's all it takes |
[227.18 --> 234.32] WAN show intro completed let's move up to the top because we've got this crazy Intel processor that has |
[234.32 --> 238.82] some interesting news coming with it thank you by the way to vegetable stew and radiating light for |
[238.82 --> 244.54] sourcing this vegetable stew I see we did it there oh very clever oh yeah I'm gonna post this link in |
[244.54 --> 249.64] me WAN doc you look like you had something to say do you I was just commenting on vegetables too |
[249.64 --> 254.92] although I did cover this today well James covered it but I wrote the thing today for tech linked on |
[254.92 --> 259.96] this story oh so okay yeah so do you have any interesting quips from that because you definitely |
[259.96 --> 264.30] know more about it than I do I have some interesting things to bring up but okay what do you think okay |
[264.30 --> 268.88] well without I guess without running through the bullet points first so I'll give a quick TLDR |
[268.88 --> 276.08] yeah so Computex Intel shows off this 28 core 56 thread CPU and they did this demo of it and it |
[276.08 --> 283.66] was like oh man the CPU is running at five gigahertz it's so cool um so after it happened um a few people |
[283.66 --> 291.32] noticed that there was a gigantic weird like industrial water chiller sticking out the back of the unit um I |
[291.32 --> 295.12] think they had it set up such that you couldn't see it straight on when they were actually doing the |
[295.12 --> 302.24] demo for members of the press so but that wasn't even like the worst of it they also said this chip |
[302.24 --> 308.38] was running at five gigahertz not telling people that it had actually in fact been overclocked so a |
[308.38 --> 313.52] lot of people were thinking that oh this thing is just going to run this freaking 28 chord zeon is |
[313.52 --> 318.26] going to run at five gigahertz out of the box which was not the case at all Intel got called out on it |
[318.26 --> 324.44] they had to acknowledge it and then they ended up saying oh well they blamed it on quote unquote the |
[324.44 --> 328.80] excitement of the moment or something like that and they said that their guy running the demo just |
[328.80 --> 334.66] forgot he forgot to say oh by the way this is not running at stock speed so people were very |
[334.66 --> 340.80] understandably upset about that's so lame but honestly I can kind of understand if it's just |
[340.80 --> 346.10] the demo guy that forgot to say it now if there was like press documents given out to any degree |
[346.10 --> 352.22] it should have it in there and the guy shouldn't forget admittedly I'm not sure if there were documents |
[352.22 --> 357.14] handed out but I have no idea I think it was just whoever was running the demo said five gigahertz |
[357.14 --> 362.64] if I'm not saying come on man don't forget that so the processor is clocked at 2.7 gigahertz |
