TT SHOW EPISODE 29 - RDNA 4, INTEL BATTLEMAGE, GTA 6, STEAM ON XBOX, AND AI GOES
NUCLEAR

Kosta Andreadis | TweakTown | Apr 5, 2024 5:56 AM CDT

This week on The TT Show, Jak and Kosta examine the latest performance target
rumors for AMD and Intel's next-gen RDNA 4 and Battlemage graphics cards and
discuss how they might leave the enthusiast market entirely to NVIDIA. This
could mean no direct competition for the GeForce RTX 5070, RTX 5080, and RTX
5090.



For corporations, GPUs are all about AI. With hundreds of thousands of GPUs used
by big tech to create AI data centers, the U.S. Government is stepping in to
sort through the sheer energy costs of countless graphics cards running complex
AI workloads. The solution? Nuclear power, specifically microreactors, installed
next to each major data center.

Jak and Kosta also discuss the latest gaming news, including Steam and Epic
Games Store potentially coming to Xbox consoles, the awesome-sounding massively
multiplayer Dune Awakening currently in development, and speculation that Grand
Theft Auto VI will be limited to 30 FPS at launch - even on the upcoming
PlayStation 5 Pro.

PC SALES HAVE TURNED AROUND WITH SHIPMENTS UP IN Q1 2024, NOW ALMOST AT
PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS

Darren Allan | Computer Systems | Apr 9, 2024 2:00 PM CDT

After being in a prolonged slump for some time now, it appears that the PC
market is in recovery, with a small - but nonetheless notable - amount of growth
recorded in the latest figures from a big analyst firm.



IDC's latest report on global PC sales shows that in Q1 2024 there were 59.8
million devices shipped, which represents growth of 1.5% year-on-year.

Indeed, this is almost a return to pre-pandemic sales, as if we look back five
years to Q1 2019, there were 60.5 million sales - so in 2024 we are nearly back
at that level of shipments.

DON'T EXPECT A FLASHY EVENT TO ANNOUNCE NEW IPAD PRO AND IPAD AIR TABLETS,
REPORT WARNS

Oliver Haslam | Mobile Devices, Tablets & Phones | Apr 9, 2024 1:30 PM CDT

The rumors suggesting that Apple intends to announce a new OLED iPad Pro and
refreshed iPad Air lineup soon have been circling for months now, and it looks
increasingly likely that next month will be the big launch timeframe. But anyone
expecting Apple to invite members of the press to Cupertino for a swanky
unveiling could well be left disappointed, according to a new report.



The new tablets will not get a special event, DigiTimes warns, something that
means that Apple will very likely choose to announce the new tablets via a
series of press releases instead. It is an approach that Apple has taken in
previous instances when there have not been big new features or notable
redesigns of products, and that seems to be the case this time out. Apple
announced the M3 MacBook Air via a press release earlier this year, for example.

The report hints that Apple has chosen to go the press release route this time
out after the tablets had been delayed repeatedly in recent months. They're now
expected to be announced in May, but there was originally a plan to have them
ready for market in March before the delays started to creep in.

APPLE VISION PRO AND META QUEST DETAILED IN FUN NEW CT SCANS

Oliver Haslam | Virtual & Augmented Reality and 3D | Apr 9, 2024 1:15 PM CDT

The Apple Vision Pro is the hottest ticket in town right now, but it isn't the
only headset that people are talking about. The Meta Quest Pro is a solid mixed
reality headset while the Meta Quest 3 is more about that VR experience. All
three are impressive in their own rights, and it's always interesting to know
what they look like on the inside. What makes them tick. And now we know after
Lumafield put all three headsets through a CT scanner to get a non-intrusive
look at their innards.



The video that you can see below shows off all of the headsets in their various
glories and most attention will no doubt be on the Apple Vision Pro. The headset
is a minimalist design on the outside, but things definitely get serious on the
inside.

The Apple Vision Pro makes the most of its internal space by using a flexible
PCB ribbon and moving all of the various electronics around so that they are
positioned at various angles so every last inch of space is used to its fullest.
Notably, the Meta headsets chose to stack the elements instead, an approach that
is more akin to phones, tablets, and laptops.

AMD'S RX 7900 XTX IS AGAIN BELOW $900 - SO IS IT THE RIGHT TIME TO BUY THIS
FLAGSHIP GPU?

Darren Allan | Video Cards & GPUs | Apr 9, 2024 10:48 AM CDT

AMD's RX 7900 XTX is now down to below the $900 mark, in the latest price fall
we've witnessed with RDNA 3 graphics cards.



The model in question is the ASRock Phantom Gaming RX 7900 XTX, which has been
reduced to $890 at Newegg. The price is listed at $920, but you can use a
discount code at checkout to knock off a further $30.

This graphics card comes with 24GB of VRAM and a base clock speed of 2455MHz
with a boost clock of 2615MHz.

INTEL BATTLEMAGE RUMOR IS GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE - GPUS COULD ARRIVE IN TIME FOR
BLACK FRIDAY

Darren Allan | Video Cards & GPUs | Apr 9, 2024 10:13 AM CDT

Intel's next-gen graphics cards could be with us in November 2024, or maybe even
before that, if a new rumor pans out.



VideoCardz noticed a report from ComputerBase about the incoming Battlemage
GPUs, flagged up by the editor of Hardwareluxx, Andreas Schilling, on X
(formerly Twitter).

We're told that there were whispers at Embedded World 2024 in Germany, coming
from Intel's partners who believe that Team Blue is aiming to get Arc Battlemage
GPUs out before Black Friday of this year, to hit that peak sales period.

MICROSOFT'S MOVING LIKE A SPEEDING SLUG IN FIXING WINDOWS 10 PATCH THAT STILL
FAILS TO INSTALL

Darren Allan | Software & Apps | Apr 9, 2024 8:03 AM CDT

If you run Windows 10, you may have been unlucky enough to hit trouble
installing the KB5034441 patch released back in January 2024 - and the sad news
is this problem still isn't resolved.



Windows Latest points out that some folks are still unable to install KB5034441
which resolves security issues related to the recovery partition, so is a pretty
important safeguard for your Windows 10 PC.

Now, there are fudges available that can work to get the patch installed -
Windows Latest has provided some feedback on this itself - but Microsoft hasn't
yet piped through an official cure.

LENOVO CONFIRMS THAT IT'S ALREADY PLANNING THE SEQUEL TO THE LEGION GO HANDHELD

Darren Allan | Gaming | Apr 9, 2024 6:52 AM CDT

Lenovo's Legion Go hasn't been out that long - the Steam Deck rival launched
back in October 2023 - and already the PC maker is planning its successor.



This news emerged from the Lenovo Innovate 24 conference that just took place in
Bangkok, Thailand, where tech journalist Chris Stead spoke to Clifford Chong,
gaming category manager at Lenovo Asia Pacific.

You can watch the interview in the above YouTube clip, and Chong makes it clear
that Lenovo is already mulling over a Lenovo Legion Go 2, and what features that
device could run with to improve the gaming portable.

ELON MUSK SAYS AGI WILL BE SMARTER THAN THE SMARTEST HUMANS BY 2025, 2026 AT THE
LATEST

Anthony Garreffa | Artificial Intelligence | Apr 9, 2024 1:47 AM CDT

Elon Musk has predicted that the development of artificial intelligence will get
to the stage of being smarter than the smartest humans by 2025, and if not, by
2026.



In an explosive interview on X Spaces, the Tesla and SpaceX boss told Norway
wealth fund CEO Nicolai Tangen that IA was constrained by electricity supply and
that the next-gen version of Grok, the AI chatbot from Musk's xAI startup, was
expected to finish training by May, next month.

When discussing the timeline of developing AGI, or artificial general
intelligence, Musk said: "If you define AGI (artificial general intelligence) as
smarter than the smartest human, I think it's probably next year, within two
years". A monumental amount of AI GPU power will be pumped into training Musk's
next-gen Grok 3, with 100,000 x NVIDIA H100 AI GPUs required for training.

ELON MUSK SAYS TRAINING NEXT-GEN GROK 3 WILL REQUIRE 100,000 NVIDIA H100 AI GPUS

Anthony Garreffa | Artificial Intelligence | Apr 9, 2024 12:05 AM CDT

Elon Musk has talked about training his next-gen Grok 3 AI chatbot, saying it
will require an insane 100,000 NVIDIA H100 AI GPUs.



During a recent X spaces chat, the SpaceX and Tesla boss said that Grok 2 used
around 20,000 NVIDIA H100 AI GPUs to train, but the new Grok 3 training will
require a monster 100,000 separate NVIDIA H100 AI GPUs, a mammoth amount of AI
compute power.

Musk said that the upcoming Grok model and beyond will require 100,000 NVIDIA
H100 AI GPUs, so we can expect Grok 4 to require an unimaginable amount of AI
GPU compute power. NVIDIA has now announced its new Blackwell B200 AI GPU, which
I'm sure Elon has been eyeing off... which will be pumped out later this year,
and flood the market in 2025 with brute force AI GPU performance.

SAMSUNG ANNOUNCES IT HAS MANUFACTURED A SAMPLE OF 16-STACK HBM FOR AI GPUS

Anthony Garreffa | Artificial Intelligence | Apr 8, 2024 11:33 PM CDT

Samsung has announced that it has manufactured a sample of its brand-new
16-stack HBM. The company manufactured the chip with hybrid bonding last week.



Samsung vice president Kim Dae-woo said the South Korean giant made its new
16-layer HBM with HBM3 but plans to use HBM4 to improve productivity. Due to
alignment issues, Samsung was expected to use hybrid bonding for just one or two
stacks of the HBM chip but applied the hybrid bonding technique to all 16
stacks.

The 16-stack HBM memory sample was made using equipment from Samsung's fab
equipment subsidiary, Semes, with Kim noting that Samsung considered using
hybrid bonding or thermal compression non-conductive film for HBM4, which
Samsung will be sampling in 2025 and mass producing next-gen HBM4 memory in
2026.
