I'm getting really tired of companies trying to shove AI down everyone throats. Like, did we really need the snap chat ai or the Facebook ai that was the Search bar or Microsoft jamming ai into Windows and putting a water mark up if your pc is not fast enough. I was ok with the Google Search one because it's when you are actually looking for information. But holy cow its EVERYWHERE.

[@DenverStarkey]

i'm real tired of it as well

[@corymatthewmouser1543]

Nothing more disappointing than knowing I can remove team Snapchat but not their ai, so I renamed the AI to be named Stinky Poopoo.

[@Brisleep1]

I 100% agree with you on all points, Meta AI is really annoying because it switches in and out when I'm putting in a search.

[@josiahsuarez]

blasphemy! nothing beats an overhyped technology and I haven't seen something comparable to "AI" since "blast processing"

[@ukgunit001]

It’s all about the data & behaviours collection 😔

[@ralakus8784]

What's up with these terrible CPU naming schemes? They're throwing away perfectly good naming schemes so they can slap words like AI and Ultra in their name knowing that the average consumer barely knows what a CPU even is when buying a computer. At this rate we're gonna end up with names like "Intel Core Gigamaximus Processor Super Mega Ultra 11 9000HX" or "AMD Ryzen Quantum Crypto AIGF 9 HX10070".

[@schmitt00]

ideas pushed by marketing divisions with their combined 2 brain cells

[@Jakef100f]

AIGF 😂

[@ranjitmandal1612]

😵‍💫

[@Kmcornell23]

That's because the simpletons out there are persuaded by buzz words like AI, Ultra, and Pro instead of taking the time to look at hardware specs.

[@drzcrazd]

then the upgrade would be AMD Ryzen Quantum Crypto AIGF 9 HX10070h

[@Wolvey10]

As Marques from MKBHD said; “All of that is great, but it’s still just an iPad”

[@TamasKiss-yk4st]

It's doesn't matter, for Apple is now was only important to release it before Snapdragon X Elite, to make their marketing from 6 months ago looks even worst.. by the way the iPadOS 18 still a month away, but actually changing.. i mean there is even a calculator app in iPadOS 18.. (so they just probably found an AI feature what they can built in, so it's not the 328th same app now, its the 1st what can do that)

0:22 I just got my brand new RX-7900XTX GPU yesterday, and so far, I am very happy. 🥰👍 I put it through its paces with Cinebench, Geekbench, 3D-Mark tests. So far so good. 🥰 I upgraded from a NGreedia GTX-1070-Ti. I am not taking any chances on those disastrous fire prone plugs, and I am no longer giving my hard-earned money to NGreedia.

[@frankd.b.9233]

[@Degalfox]

@@frankd.b.9233 i been thinking about a pair of 7900 xtx taichi, or just wait and see if next gen is better since it's right around the corner. (currently have a pair of 6900 xt toxic LE)

[@Norinia]

Letting you know, my RX 6800 XT burnt out about 6 months ago. Note, I also then upgraded to an RX 7900 XTX XD (Best Buy totaltech ‘could only’ *completely refund* my 3 year old computer. Spent basically half the price of the GPU for a *completely* upgraded brand new PC ❤❤❤) But I’m just trying to say that AMD isn’t perfect with GPUs ether. Just keep that in mind in case anything starts to act up.

[@TwstedTV]

@@Norinia Thank you, I will make a note of that. Also, I started to notice lately that my RX7900XTX draws massive amounts of power. I know this because it's seriously tripping up my APC UPS I have. A day later, my UPS started ringing, and you could see my UPS flickers and restarting with a clicking turnover sound. I heard that, and I thought it was going to go boom on me. So now I have to get a 2200VA UPS. I currently have a 1500VA and It's not enough to hold this 7900 XTX.

[@KasperXplore]

BONUS DEAL: Right now the Ryzen 7 5800x is only $175 on Amazon!!!

[@marsMayflower]

and 12700K is $190 on newegg after $50.00 coupon

[@LRK-GT]

If one is going AM4 @ this point in time, do yourself a favor, and accept nothing less than an X3D. Well worth it for the lower sys latency and (min FPS) game performance.

[@marsMayflower]

​@@LRK-GT at still over 300, it wouldn't make sense to NOT go with AM5 and 7800X3D unless it's a drop in replacement for an older gen ryzen

[@LRK-GT]

​@@marsMayflower $230 or less 5700X3D, exists. If one is near-ish a Microcenter*, (overall) cost is considerably lower (when bundled w/ mobo+RAM) *I am not. Have been in the past, though.

[@marsMayflower]

@@LRK-GT for that money, probably the fastest gaming cpu available

[@kaidiemulan6061]

1:23 it's kinda weird to see Apple release a Ipad with a very powerful neural engine while still having close to zero use for it in software... There is some Ai stuff in Logic Pro for iPad but it would have been more logical to release a IOS 18 with AI features at the same time as the new chips...

[@UFDTech]

They did it to say they're the fastest.

[@nanoflower1]

My guess is they hope this will placate share holders who are following the AI craze. If it keeps them buying Apple stock that's good enough. They'll figure out what to do with the neural engine later.

[@Somethingaboutthat]

Does anyone have an app that uses AI (Other then video object recognition and chat/search), that's not a giant server farm? How does having AI in a desktop CPU improve things for the end user if they aren't doing video recognition?

[@alanslicegarcia5066]

It's more that they don't want change the M series of chips to just IPad. Since it's cheaper to mass produce the same chips and publicity.

[@TamasKiss-yk4st]

But what if this is just a develooer tool for the AI featutes what they will show us on the WWDC..? I mean if you give the developers the possibility to create AI apps on WWDC, they have almost 4 months to create tons of AI apps before iPhone launch.. Also don't forget it's about time for the first Snapdragon X Elite laptop to release, they just wanted to look it even worst their initial marketing where they compared themself to the M2, but the M4 already in the shops when it's release.. and they also can ride the AI waves, state it it's the fastest AI chip now, and just simply put an even stronger NPU in the M4 Pro and M4 Max (or just simply doubling the 16 NPU cores in the M4 Ultra with fusing 2 M4 Max together, which also have the potential to reach the 76 TOPS with that)

[@pweddy1]

Brett: “1,000,000 subscribers, it’s not just me!” Kyler: “It was ALL ME!!!!”

[@Jwalk9000]

The marketing departments for these companies, deciding on the naming schemes, just don't make sense. They're so disconnected from reality and communicating with the customers. It's almost as if they're actively, intentionally, convoluting their communication. Using a buzzword as part of your model name is frankly moronic.

[@josephherrington1062]

Apparently the reason why arrow lake has been pushed back is because they are trying to make two massive changes to the chip. They are implementing backside power delivery and ribbonfet architecture. Currently we are using finfet architecture for microchips.

[@p51max]

I have been on the Start Citizen rollercoaster ride sense 2013 and have been very entertained throughout. I have kiddos with special needs as well and feel for your struggles. For me, following and in my own little way, supporting and testing SC has been a nice bit of escape-ism though hard times. It is the game I wanted sense I played the original Battlefield and its mods. But I understand SC is not for anyone and that I am probably having fun wrong. ;-)

[@Dragon_Slayer_Ornstein]

I'm waiting for the Ryzen AI 360 NoScope before I'm jumping in.

[@treasley]

In regards to sensible naming schemes: Why didn't Intel come out of the gate, straight on the nose, with Alchemist and Battlemage naming. Call Alchemist...Alchemist Lvl 1,2,3 for their various market segments. That would have been cool, more original, and refreshing.

[@Kromaswow]

There is a HUGE difference between AMD and intel naming schemes. Intel doing it is very unusual and annoying. AMD doing it just AMD changing the name yet again. Maybe I am just getting numb to stupid AMD naming schemes but I found Intel doing to be more upsetting.

[@abdulhkeem.alhadhrami]

20+ years down the drain we are so used to i9 i7 i5 ...

[@rinsenpai135]

AMD is scamming buyers this way though, compared to Intel where i9 just becomes Core Ultra 9. But people will tell you it's fine because it's AMD. I've never seen a CPU company change their naming schemes twice within 2 years, and the enthusiasts know that AMD is trying to sell you a 2017 CPU, with all of its issues discovered til this day not fixed, as brand new. Heck they even currently sell you Ryzen 7000 APUs in laptops with Vega Graphics which are basically out of support. Last time I tried running Vega Graphics on every single 2023 AMD drivers, my 2 laptops were unusable 30 minutes after boot, and I had to rely on HP OEM drivers for one, and disable iGPU through MUX switch for the second one... It almost looks like they focused so much on gaming performance that they forgot the iGPU is here just to display things when you don't have a dGPU.

[@ryanspencer6778]

All Intel really did is change the i to Ultra and reset the generation count. AMD literally put buzzwords into their product name.

[@ranjitmandal1612]

😔

[@timmyalley6621]

I still want a coffee mug with reeces face on it. “Reece’s cup”

[@cleverlizzerd4473]

One minor difference in the examples you mentioned in your Early Access argument is that successful games like Hades, V Rising, Baldur's Gate 3 are indie/AA titles (BG3 being an obvious outlier in that aspect) and at least marketed as Early Access (on Steam.) Games like Anthem, Redfall, Suicide Squad, are titles backed by huge AAA publisher, with massive marketing budgets, which were implicitly launched as finished titles and priced accordingly. However, your point still stands regarding the potential for Early Access (and now even fully released games) to essentially become abandonware in the current market.

[@OtherTheDave]

2:10 I think it’s more because the M4 is made on TSMC’s N3E node, which is significantly less expensive than the M3’s N3B node.

[@braylanblack8865]

It's also supposed to be more power efficient. Hopefully the thermal issues of the M3 will be largely solved. Brett also forgot to mention that it has 2 more efficiency cores

[@hishnash]

@@braylanblack8865 N3E is less dense than N3B so no it will not be more power efficient. But the M4 cores appear to be a much wider design (at least for floating point units) so might well be a lot bette with power due to this.

[@dzibanart8521]

I much rather have one or two extra CUs than AI stuff in my CPUs that you very much.

[@supreme5998]

Everyone is talking about 5090 without any actual news, it feels like once it actually comes out, it will already be old news and everyone will be expecting 6000 series news.

[@lockkeylive3809]

To be fair. If Microsoft is pushing watermarks saying "your pc can't run AI" there is gonna be a massive wave of people wanting laptops that do AI. And having AI in the name is genius marketing wise

[@hollisbostick2872]

10:25 Rant on, Bret! 😂 Not to suggest that I disagree (I don't), but watching you just go _off_ was a good time whether I had agreed or not.🙂👍🏾

[@antimatter818]

I wouldnt be surprised if the marketing team for these companies hired focus groups to research if words like "AI" or "Ultra" were popular to the average consumer and went that route

[@gabeparry8541]

The reason Apple released the new M4 chip is because it’s cheaper to manufacture than M3. It’s on a process node with much higher yields.

[@ToshiOhMy]

I love how companies are making it natural to use AI: you have no option to use things without it (copilot/gemini/ai cores on everything).

[@callibor3119]

Games are being tested for AI. Software and hardware AI are being tested on the new consoles for Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo lineups. And once they do reveal their new console, all will have NPUs with CPUs and GPUs in one chip that connect all the older generations of consoles and games and media into the metaverse that is going to be Unreal Engine 5. But people have to program their own consoles to connect to Unreal Engine 5 through the latest consoles by Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo.

[@Rosso87]

38 TOPS may not seem like much, except that this is just the base model M4 and you can have it in your hands next week, as opposed to maybe Q3/Q4

Will be obsolete before the end of Q2 though. .

[@jasonwhite2775]

I bet Intel is kicking themselves and saying, "Why didn't we think of adding an "a" to our naming scheme. I think ai9 makes more since than Ultra being that the next gen cpu's have just an incremental increase with AI and not ultra performance.

[@wnxdafriz]

-_- idk with those studios getting closed all i know is Tango Gameworks - from my understanding the lead of the studio left and made their own studio Arkane... they lost 90 percent of all their developers during redfall's creation / who is actually left there??? Alpha Dog - mobile developer of 12 ppl no idea of any games they were making Roundhouse - They are actually being folded into Zenimax Online Studios (they were already helping with ESO) so you have one studio that lost their lead and possibly others if they followed them into the other studio, arkane was already a husk of their former selfs, a small mobile developer that hasn't launched a game since 2019 i believe, and the other technically didn't close they just merged with another studio to bolster the amount of devs for their MMO which they were already helping them to begin with

[@CookingWithXpsZero]

When are you going to rotate the other HN sign because one reads NH, Iv been wanting to bring this up for awhile it bothers me a little 😅

[@CameronVanNatta]

Part of me wonders if the M4 had the thermal headroom of the Macbook Pro chassis/fan if its tops would be competitive with AMD or not.

[@hishnash]

TOPs are a little bug of a hard number ot compared as every company is using a differnt base unit. Apple tend to list FP16, AMD and Qualcomm are listing Int8 but not that same type of int8 (and yes in the ML space there are multiple differnt Int8 formats).

[@Somethingaboutthat]

Are there any App's that make use of the AI of any of these CPU's? I understand the use in something used to detect objects in video and for search engines but what other use cases are out there?

[@tyler6602]

Could have an Ai girlfriend who you can share your deepest secrets with

[@vocassen]

Installed Ollama for language models and Nod Ai Shark for stable diffusion yesterday. Sadly, they can't even make use of Laptop RyzenAI hardware, and I don't think anything besides "official" LM Studio does (which is windows only). So despite having RyzenAI hardware, and really, really trying to, I still have to run them on the CPU (or, as for stable diffusion, using vulcan on the iGPU). So software is still far behind and nobody actually benefits from this hardware yet until it catches up (which it will probably only do once enough people have these for companies to bother using them instead of plain old GPU compute). And you shouldn't buy based on promises what it can do in the future, but what it does rn, and rn it's essentially useless.

[@Ab-gk2vy]

The first part is just straight up misinformation. Qualcomm uses int8 to measure TOPs while Apple uses fp16. 38TOP fp16 is around 70TOP of int8. For those wondering PC uses NPUs. So if u want to compare them that way, Apple's NPU just destroys Qualcomm's and AMDs. They'll have the fastest NPU for a while

[@NoMoreFyre]

I hate AI marketing fluff. As someone who messes with AI, I want to get excited for a real FP16 AI accelerator,or some 48GB Vram AI tailored prosumer card, but when you read any artile or look any6up its a nothing burger

I wonder if the reason why AMD changed their naming scheme is because they felt that intel changing theirs made it harder for lay people to directly compare processors against each other, so by changing the names to be more similar AMD can show their product that is in the same class as the intel product is just plain better.

Seriously, tried installing ollama and nod ai shark (supposedly best stable diffusion for ryzen/amd software) and neither of them can actually use my ryzen ai hardware - nod ai shark just barely used my iGPU via vulcan (and freezing my system while it computes).

[@ZSchrink]

As someone who has played a significant number of Early Access and Alpha release games, I have very mixed feelings. Back in the day, think when Minecraft was still in alpha, there was no real need to be in early adopter. KZbin was still in use, but it wasn't for the types of videos that go out today. Twitch wasn't even around at that time. This meant that if you purchased at a game still in Alpha / early access, it's because you had the extra money, wanted to help shape the future of the game, and you wanted to support the developer. Now, it's less about any of those and being one of the first on a streaming service so you can increase viewer engagement or because you're trying to play relevant games with friends because they have seen streamers play it and want to be involved in the same games they are playing. I think this latter reason for purchasing Early Access and alpha games is a bad choice both for players and the industry. We've already seen in 2024 several large games that have hit the market, snagged a whole bunch of eyeballs and purchases, and then people are moving on within a month. The developers get their money, which is great, but that kind of ebb and flow will burn a population out.

ok, 5080 will be faster and cheaper than the 4090 wich it will sell above "msrp" until the 5090 comes out later. you can count on nvidia to either maximize profit or we may be looking at a $3000 5090. but what do i know, i've only been watching nvidia raise prices and scalp the cards right off the assembly line since kepler
