Transcripts

Hello, I am your Yunfei.

Now I have come to Las Vegas in the United States

to watch CES2024.

So which manufacturers will bring us blockbuster new products this year?

Let’s go and take a look. Let’s go.

I’m here this time. The focus of CES

is definitely on PCs, mobile phones, display technology

and various cutting-edge technologies.

Let’s follow Yunfei’s footsteps and take a look.

The first pavilion we go to is Intel’s pavilion.

This time at CES, almost all major manufacturers are emphasizing AI

. Intel is no exception.

It gave us a set of thin and light local-side AI demonstrations right away.

This is GIMP's Stable Diffusion plug-in. It

currently supports Intel's OpenVINO framework.

The solutions provided here are quite interesting.

You can choose GPU+NPU collaboration. You can also use pure GPU calculations

to draw pictures

, but did you know?

Isn’t it completely unexpected that GPU+NPU collaborative acceleration is not as fast as pure GPU computing

?

In fact, the introduction of NPU acceleration is not to make it faster

but to reduce the burden on the GPU and reduce power consumption.

This is still necessary for thin and light notebooks

. However, if you want to call the NPU in Stable Diffusion,

only this GIMP plug-in can support

our general reality. The PyTorch-based WebUI used in the conference cannot use the NPU

because PyTorch does not yet support this NPU.

So if you want to draw a two-dimensional beautiful girl on an Intel thin and light notebook,

you can only call the GPU to draw.

In addition to drawing,

the NPU is used for camera keying.

There are also some applications in Audacity's audio processing

that can use NPU to run algorithms for separating vocals and instrumental music.

Anyway, the first-generation NPU ecosystem still has a long way to go.

Then Intel also released improvements to the notebook's 14th-generation HX processor i7

at CES. It’s still quite big

with 6 E-cores added

, but the other models are basically 13th-generation overclocking vests. At

most, they support an

additional APO technology that can improve the frame rate in some games.

However, major OEM manufacturers have released a lot of new ones. Let’s take stock of the machines

one by one.

I first went to the ASUS exhibition hall.

This time, ASUS and ROG’s new products are also super multi-

notebooks. Here are the Phantom 14Air

and Phantom 16Air

, especially the Phantom 14Air

, which is a truly thin and light performance notebook

with only 1.5 It weighs 60 kg,

but it is equipped with an AMD 8000 series standard pressure CPU and a graphics card up to RTX4070.

The most important thing is that its workmanship

has finally made a very significant improvement compared to the previous generation

. The all-metal body

uses CNC + anodized aluminum technology to create

an A-side edge. A light bar is made diagonally.

The screen on the B side is also made of one-piece glass

without a cheap plastic frame.

The entire machine looks and feels

as good as a Macbook in terms of workmanship.

You must know that

the workmanship of the previous Phantom 14 is smaller than that of the previous one. The No. 1 Phantom 13 is simply too bad.

I have always doubted whether they should be included in the same series.

Now the new model of Phantom 14Air

is finally a lot taller.

The other Phantom 16Air is an enlarged version of Phantom 14Air,

the highest overseas version. You can plug in the low-power 4090

, but the highest version in China should only be the 4070 version.

I don’t know if you remember that

Intel previously gave up its NUC small host product line to Asus.

So this time we have also seen a lot of Asus products.

The most exciting thing about the new NUC

is that the ROG NUC is only 2.5L in size.

It has the configuration of U9 + notebook 4070,

which may be very interesting to many sophisticated gamers.

In addition, ASUS also exhibited several very special models this time. This awesome monitor

is PG39WCDM

39-inch OLED curved hairtail screen

3440x1440 240Hz 1300nits brightness.

I think the ID design of this new monitor is much better than in previous years.

The front is very beautiful, and then you turn to the back

and wow, the dot matrix is ​​huge. The eyes are really cool.

There is also a PG32UCDP, which is the world's first

monitor that can switch between 4K240Hz and 1080P480Hz dual-mode.

Then there is a UCDM with the same mold that has no dual-mode

but supports Dolby Vision .

Asus also showed off their dual-screen notebooks

and These are AR glasses.

Unexpectedly, ASUS has also started to make AR glasses.

According to their point of view, they have advantages in software

and can be deeply integrated with Windows.

I also went to see several other OEM exhibition areas

. HP this time showed the Slim of Shadow Elf. 14

is another 14-inch thin and light gaming laptop. It

is 1.6kg and 18mm thick. It

is available in two color options: 4070 black and white

with U9 + 80W.

The design looks quite handsome and

the workmanship is obviously much better than the Shadow Elf 10.

This is a bit of a no-brainer. The feeling of the first generation OMEN

may be due to the fact that the power consumption of the processor has gradually dropped.

Now more and more manufacturers are willing to try thin and light performance notebooks

. Another trend is that

many notebooks I saw this time were the first to add CoPilot keys.

To replace the original Page key,

you can call up Microsoft's CoPilot AI assistant with one click.

I don't know if the machines of the National Bank will also join this trend

, but at least

Microsoft's persistence in AI has begun to affect OEMs around the world

, and now CoPilot can already achieve some software and hardware linkage.

For example, I can let it turn on and off the dark mode of the computer.

Although this seems to be relatively useless at the moment

, it is still interesting to imagine the possibilities in the future.

I looked at MSI again

. Although MSI I may have deleted your games

, but the newly launched Claw handheld console this time is quite interesting. It

is equipped with a Core Ultra chip.

It seems that the popularity of handheld consoles is indeed very high.

There was ROG Ally before and then there was Claw. Everyone is starting to get into

it. As soon as I started using this handheld machine, I felt that

it felt really good in the hand.

Although on paper it was heavier than ROG Ally and SteamDeck,

thanks to the clever ergonomic grip,

this machine felt even lighter than Ally's

button layout. I think it's quite reasonable

, but the reflectivity of the material is a bit too high.

I think it looks pretty cheap.

Why don't you make a white version?

The scene demonstrated to us that Assassin's Creed Vision

1080P medium image quality can have close to 50 frames, and

the performance is quite good

. Like other handheld consoles,

Claw also designed a quick menu

to facilitate access to various functions

, including a dedicated The control center

gathers all games and platforms here

for easy deletion...

Ah, it’s inconvenient to start.

Finally,

we were also lucky enough to see Claw with the back cover removed, so we

can see its true cooling capacity

. It has dual fans and dual heat pipes. The heat dissipation structure

is quite luxurious for a handheld machine

, and there is a large gap in the middle part.

This way, the wind can not only go behind and blow through the fins,

but also form an air duct in the middle to dissipate heat to the motherboard. Let

’s continue shopping. I also saw something very unnatural.

What do you think this is?

How could anyone come up with

the M.2 all-in-one water-cooling radiator

? It ’s so outrageous.

They have also made several air-cooled versions,

which are also huge

. Don’t worry about the meaning.

Anyway, it’s pretty cool.

Lenovo deserves to talk about it this year. There were relatively few things

, and the Pig King and I were blocked outside on the first day.

On the second day, after the Pig King left, I went in smoothly.

I think the only interesting thing is the secondary screen accessory

and the accessory interface. This year, there is an optional secondary screen that can

be connected to all kinds of cool things

. After connecting it, it becomes a dual-screen notebook.

This is quite interesting.

I also went to the AMD booth

. But this year, in addition to the new APU for desktop computers, AMD

There wasn’t much worth talking about , but

we met an old acquaintance

at the AMD booth ...

Then I went to the NV booth.

This time NV showed some interesting new technologies

, such as the NVIDIA ACE technology, which can make the game The NPC

directly communicates with the player through AI

and produces interactive NV that affects the game process.

What is demonstrated here is to directly order food with the owner of the ramen restaurant through voice.

He will make a logical answer

and correctly bring out the ramen you ordered.

Let me compare. Unexpectedly,

NV said that this technology has been commercialized and

is now cooperating with major manufacturers such as Tencent, NetEase, MiHoYa, Ubisoft, etc.

I hope it can be seen in games in the future.

Another interesting technology is RTX accelerated push streaming,

which NV has cooperated with Twitch to develop. Multi-channel encoding algorithm

In the past, game live broadcasts were pushed to a single high-definition video stream to the live broadcast website

, and then the live broadcast website transcoded it into different resolutions such as 1080P, 720P, 480P, etc.

to meet the needs of different users' networks and viewing devices.

With the new technology of NV,

The graphics card will encode 5 or 6 different presets at the same time before pushing the stream.

The encoding from 480P to 4K is all done on the player's graphics card

and then sent to Twitch together

. Since NVENC's encoder is strong enough

, even after doing this, It will only affect about 5% of the game performance, which

is really drizzle for the anchor with 4080 per capita

, but it can help the live broadcast website save a lot of computing resources.

I think Ah B is also very short of money

. Should he also find NV to cooperate?

Another technology that I'm very interested

in is this automatic HDR.

A while ago, we have seen NV's RTX Video,

which can over-sample videos on Bilibili and YouTube

to improve the clarity.

Now this set of enhancement tools has added AI. The function of automatic SDR to HDR

is not just a simple conversion

, but will use the algorithm used in DLSS to compensate for a lot of dark details.

For a dim game screen like this,

after turning on automatic HDR, the contrast will rise immediately and there will be

more details. After

watching NV, I went to a

very interesting

small exhibition hall.

This manufacturer is called Flore System, which makes "piezoelectric radiators".

Their product is called AirJet Mini.

Make the fan so thin that

it can be inserted into various places with limited space.

If you have watched Linus's video, you should have an impression of

the technical principle of this thing.

It is very interesting. It uses a vibrating film covered with piezoelectric crystals

to generate airflow. To

put it bluntly, it is a radiator made with a photolithography machine.

This product also launched the second generation

AirJet Mini Slim this year

. It is even thinner than the original, with a thickness of only 2.5mm. It also

has a new automatic dust removal feature,

which allows it to operate with almost no noise. In the case of generating an air volume of 0.21CFM,

it can dissipate more than 5W of heat.

Previously, they also launched a 10W Pro version

and demonstrated some application scenarios on site.

For example, an SSD can be placed in a mobile phone

and this can be used in it

. Some lamps use this. The volume can be reduced by

dissipating heat

. Currently, there is a commercial example of Zotac's Zbox.

Two pieces are sandwiched on the vapor chamber to form a heat dissipation module.

It is quite interesting.

A very important part of CES

is display technology. This

year, many manufacturers have come up with their own transparent TV solutions.

As soon as you enter the entire exhibition hall, you will first see LG’s huge transparent TV wall.

When the rain curtain slowly rises

to reveal the background behind it,

I I was really stunned and shocked

by this effect.

I walked around to the back and took a look.

It turned out to be a physical lifting structure.

I thought, why is it so dark, right?

But seeing these specific structures in a specially arranged environment The look and feel of the material

is indeed quite good and very technological.

Like LG,

Samsung also exhibited its transparent display solution,

but it is a MicroLED transparent TV.

Samsung

has focused a lot on MicroLED this year.

The only disadvantage of this thing is that it is expensive.

But when it comes to MicroLED,

the domestic manufacturers this time are also very shocking to me.

This is the 163-inch giant-screen MicroLED displayed by TCL Huaxing Optoelectronics.

Wow

, this is really incredible when you stand in front of it

. TCL’s booth is quite big. Their booth

The second main focus is

also the company’s best QD-Mini LED product line.

However, I am more interested in the several relatively awesome display technologies demonstrated by Huaxing next to it.

For example, they used inkjet printing OLED technology to create a four-curved display

. Don’t you think it’s amazing just looking at it?

What’s even more cool

is that this is a Mini-LED display that can be bent directly.

As long as you press a button,

it will immediately become a curved screen.

They also showed a naked-eye 3D 8K display

and a finished display with 8K 120Hz specifications

. The bandwidth of DP2.0 has been completely squeezed out.

Compared with these incredible things,

the Mini-LED hairtail screen next to it doesn't seem so shocking.

I feel that Huaxing is just a place to show off its muscles.

The one next to Huaxing is Hisense

. This museum is also very large and has a

good reputation.

Their most powerful thing is the laser short-throw projection

or laser TV.

This time, they showed an 8K laser TV

with screen sound. The screen and the subwoofer underneath form a surround. In the system,

they also have a special area for mural TVs. They

have customized various forms of mural TVs.

From a distance, they look like paintings.

For many scenes where TVs are used as decorations,

mural TVs are indeed a very big market

. Better integrate into the surrounding environment.

Finally, I went to Sony's booth.

The only important new product Sony brought this time was a car.

I felt that Sony mainly wanted to borrow the car to promote its Sensor.

Then I don't care about this car very much.

So I went to see something else.

They set up a virtual production studio on site

to give us a live demonstration of the Sony system + Unreal Engine. The on-set filming

is considered a traditional art

, but there is another entertainment project that can be experienced personally.

A technology demonstration based on the "Ghostbusters" IP.

This shows a new audio-visual interaction method

that uses the vibration of the floor

to simulate various textures when you step on the ground

. There are a large number of sensors in this space to detect your

movements. Sony can interact with the environment in real time.

After all, its main business is audio-visual entertainment.

They must have been exploring the way to present movies in the future.

So the above is the on-site report of CES2024 brought to you by Yunfei.

If you are interested in anything else

You can leave a message in the comment area and let us know

. See you next time. Bye.
