play00:14

mod okay it's news timeing first up for

play00:17

today nvidia's RTX 590 is shaping up to

play00:20

be a serious power hog this story

play00:23

originally comes from tweak town and

play00:25

starting things off as you can see first

play00:27

up they say that according to rumors and

play00:30

information from several sources Nvidia

play00:32

is planning to launch their next gen RTX

play00:34

50 series with the new 5090 and 80 early

play00:38

next year and of course if you follow

play00:39

this channel you likely already know

play00:41

that but then they go on to talk about

play00:44

the fact that they recently did a tour

play00:46

of msi's new Factory in Shang xen China

play00:49

and while they were there they got a

play00:51

chance to look at some of msi's new psus

play00:55

and as you can see right here they

play00:57

actually state that these new psus

play00:59

feature two two 12v 2x6 power connectors

play01:02

to which don't forget that this as they

play01:05

say that is the updated 16 pin 12 vpwr

play01:09

connector this is the one that has the

play01:11

shorter sense pin so you have to plug it

play01:13

in more to you know make sure it doesn't

play01:16

melt your connector all of that aside

play01:19

basically they're including two of them

play01:22

and when they asked why according to

play01:24

this msi's reason for adding it is to

play01:27

support the next generation of graphics

play01:29

cards which makes for an unbelievable

play01:32

potential power draw of

play01:35

1,200 Watts for the GPU alone of course

play01:39

I said potential power draw just because

play01:42

it doesn't technically have to do that

play01:44

but basically it almost likely

play01:47

guarantees that the upcoming RTX 590

play01:50

could potentially pull more than 600

play01:54

watts now they do state as I believe I'd

play01:57

also gone over this at one point that c

play01:59

C sources are claiming that the 90 can

play02:02

draw up to 600 watts basically if you're

play02:05

looking at purchasing a Next Generation

play02:07

GPU there's a somewhat decent chance

play02:09

you're going to need a new PSU but first

play02:13

is a new site I recently discovered that

play02:15

solves the number one issue when

play02:17

learning to code boredom it's called

play02:19

boot. deev and they sponsored today's

play02:22

video because the founders are Gamers

play02:24

just like me and many of you now you

play02:26

might be wondering why that matters and

play02:28

that's because boot. Dev is basically an

play02:30

RPG for programming I'm talking they

play02:33

have achievements quests XP and all that

play02:35

good stuff to make learning and

play02:37

mastering back in development fun I mean

play02:39

they even have leaderboards if you want

play02:41

to take it up a notch plus this is for

play02:43

everyone because boot. can take you from

play02:45

start to finish in both Python and go

play02:48

languages and given the average backend

play02:50

developer made over $100,000 in 2023

play02:53

there's no reason not to do it

play02:55

especially because they offer a no

play02:57

questions asked 30-day money back

play02:59

guarantee as well as a free demo on

play03:01

every course and if that's not enough

play03:04

when you click my link in the

play03:05

description and use code gamermeld in

play03:07

all caps you'll get 25% off your first

play03:10

month or even entire year if you choose

play03:13

the annual plan so check that out

play03:16

today and next up for today Intel's

play03:18

lunar Lake reviews are in and for those

play03:22

who may not remember lunar lake is said

play03:25

to be one of Intel's biggest releases in

play03:28

quite a long time this is their ultra

play03:30

low power chip that is actually set to

play03:33

prove that x86 can beat arm when it

play03:36

comes to power draw and while they

play03:39

somewhat did it I would argue it's not

play03:42

as impressive as a lot of people are

play03:44

making out with that said don't get me

play03:46

wrong it is very impressive but let's

play03:48

just get right to it starting things off

play03:51

these benchmarks are coming from a

play03:53

review from Hardware kugs that was

play03:55

really the best one that I could find a

play03:56

lot of the reviews are not very thorough

play03:58

at all they don't a lot of benchmarks

play04:00

they probably didn't have a lot of time

play04:02

before releasing these reviews either

play04:04

way let's get right to it and starting

play04:06

things off we're going to get right to

play04:08

battery life and really quickly I do

play04:11

want to note that while we're looking at

play04:12

these as you can see they tried to get

play04:15

the actual battery size of each one to

play04:18

be as close as they could but for

play04:20

example the MacBook Air 13 only has a 53

play04:23

wat hour battery which is significantly

play04:26

smaller than all of the others so keep

play04:28

that in mind though right off the bat

play04:31

you'll notice that the Apple M3 even

play04:34

with their smaller battery beat out

play04:36

everyone but you will notice that the

play04:39

ultra 7 258 V from Intel actually does

play04:44

beat out the qualcom chip so definitely

play04:47

not bad at all Yes it doesn't beat Apple

play04:50

but as usual there that's likely because

play04:53

Apple has full control of both the

play04:55

software and hardware and that

play04:57

definitely seems to help them out moving

play04:59

on we have a YouTube load so we're doing

play05:03

a constant 4K video playback and here

play05:07

the ultra 7 actually beats out the Apple

play05:10

M3 though I do want to point out that

play05:13

53w hour battery versus the 72w

play05:17

obviously the Apple M3 would have still

play05:19

won if it had the same 72w hour battery

play05:22

still very impressive here and as you

play05:24

can see once again it beats out

play05:27

qualcomm's chip moving on things get a

play05:30

little different as you can see here

play05:32

under heavy load most of these

play05:35

ultimately end up getting very close oh

play05:38

and really quickly I do want to point

play05:40

out in these lower light load tests you

play05:43

can see that the ryzen AI 9 does worse

play05:46

in both of these than all of the tested

play05:48

chips though when we move to a heavier

play05:51

load it does end up doing better though

play05:54

at the same time it also has a 78w

play05:57

battery which is more than all of the

play05:59

other chips and here Apple's M3

play06:03

seriously does get impressive it

play06:05

completely beats all of them though

play06:07

you'll likely find out that it's because

play06:09

Apple isn't pushing their chip as much

play06:11

as the others sort of either way moving

play06:14

on when we move to the cinam bench

play06:17

single cord test Intel's Ultra 7 258 V

play06:21

actually beats out amby's new ryen AI 9

play06:24

365 though it does lose to the Apple M3

play06:29

when we move to multicore as you can see

play06:32

here well first off very impressive by

play06:35

Qualcomm there's actually beats out all

play06:38

of the other chips though this is the

play06:40

newest cab bench 2024 when we move to

play06:43

cinebench R23 you'll see that amds ends

play06:46

up taking the lead and by quite a large

play06:48

margin with that said even in cinam 2024

play06:52

you can see that the ryzen ai9 365

play06:55

completely crushes Intel's new Ultra 7

play06:59

258 V and then moving over to blender we

play07:02

see the exact same thing yet again with

play07:05

the ryzen AI 9 365 completely coming out

play07:09

on top and lastly when it comes to

play07:11

gaming I will definitely say that

play07:13

Intel's new integrated GPU based on

play07:16

battle mage is definitely very

play07:18

impressive but unfortunately they're

play07:20

only comparing it to the Radeon 8 ADM

play07:23

and not the 890m though I will say that

play07:26

Intel does have a higher-end CPU that

play07:28

gives the integrated GPU a little little

play07:29

bit more TDP leeway so maybe they should

play07:33

have compared it to the 88m but

play07:36

regardless as you can see right here

play07:38

Intel's new CPU definitely does beat it

play07:42

out though when it comes to actual real

play07:44

world benchmarks they seem to somewhat

play07:47

trade places though most of them did

play07:49

have Intel taking the lead either way

play07:52

you can see right here Counter Strike 2

play07:54

they're pretty much neck and neck though

play07:56

the 1% lows here do obviously look

play07:59

better than the 88m but then when we

play08:02

move over to Boulders Gate 3 you can see

play08:04

that well basically they're neck and

play08:06

neck yet again ultimately I'll

play08:08

definitely say that Intel did a really

play08:10

good job with these chips their

play08:11

integrated GPU is very impressive as

play08:15

well as the battery life that you're

play08:17

going to get out of these but if you

play08:19

want the absolute fastest CPU

play08:21

performance you're still going to want

play08:23

to stick with the AMD and next up all

play08:26

talking about amd's CPUs and how great

play08:29

they are are I actually missed this

play08:30

story but I'm also going to have an

play08:32

update to it but a little while back we

play08:35

actually got confirmation that AMD is

play08:37

working on a new update to their Z1

play08:39

extreme chip being the Z2 extreme for

play08:42

handhelds as you can see right down here

play08:44

they actually confirm it through a Q&A

play08:46

session with AMD and Microsoft and you

play08:49

can see right here that AMD revealed

play08:51

that it's targeting an early 2025

play08:54

release for the Z2 extreme and as you

play08:57

can see down here they're talking about

play08:59

higher performance and better battery

play09:01

life to which AMD ultimately said amd's

play09:04

jackon highlighted wanting to play black

play09:07

myth Wukong for 3 hours on a handheld

play09:10

not the 45 minutes or so you can get on

play09:12

current handhelds now I will say that I

play09:15

highly doubt it's going to go from 45

play09:17

minutes to 3 hours but of course every

play09:19

little bit counts and this brings us to

play09:22

today's story this is a shipping

play09:24

manifest and we actually now get a first

play09:27

look at that upcoming CP you you can see

play09:30

it's the z2x Z2 extreme 28 Watt and this

play09:35

confirms that it comes with eight cores

play09:38

now obviously the original Z1 extreme

play09:41

came with eight cores so it's not all

play09:43

that impressive but don't forget that

play09:45

we're talking more battery life and of

play09:47

course that's definitely welcomed when

play09:49

it comes to handheld gaming consoles and

play09:52

lastly for today we're finally starting

play09:54

to get some new information on amd's

play09:56

nextg ryzen 9000 x3d chips this story

play10:00

originally comes from a new Forum post

play10:02

from a known leaker on the chipo forums

play10:05

but he actually got it from a new

play10:07

gigabyte x870 event as you can see right

play10:10

here it says this time the 9950 x3d and

play10:13

9900 x3d will have some new features so

play10:17

they won't be released alongside the

play10:19

9800 x3d I'm guessing they'll be

play10:22

available early next year now this is

play10:24

sort of good news and sort of bad news

play10:26

it's bad news cuz we're talking next

play10:28

year for that but it's it's good news

play10:29

cuz we're talking new features which

play10:31

I'll get to in just a second but it's

play10:33

sort of also good news well not that

play10:35

part but it's just those two CPUs that

play10:38

are coming next year because also

play10:40

according to him the ryzen 7 9800 xrd is

play10:43

expected to launch by the end of October

play10:46

meaning this bad boy is just one month

play10:49

away now they did State this is from

play10:53

someone else but apparently according to

play10:56
