Intel released details that they're updating the warranties for the Raptor Lake CPUs. This came out after this episode was filmed. We'll cover it on Monday. - tinyurl.com/2xoggrmr ► Check out today's hottest tech deals here: www.ufd.deals/ howl.me/cmNqccmYHgX geni.us/Laqszas geni.us/rLEtj
Actually right now in Canada the 5950X is advertised 20$ cheaper than the 5900XT which is essentially the same product but with speeds of 0.1Ghz lower.
I recently put together a new rig, and decided AMD over 13th gen Intel. I dodged a bullet to say the least. Thank you for your honest coverage of these problems.
@@JonathanSayers-g2e It's a shame that Intel cannot be honest about this. Had they identified the problem prior and acted properly, their reputation would have been fine.
Same here. Always prefered Intel for a productivity + gaming rig and was going to buy an i7-14700KF. Fortunatelly the controversy surfaced Just before I bought the CPU and the more I read about It, the more I was convinced I should go with AMD
congrats mate, intel be heavily struggling rn with their stupid decisions, not replacing / fixing issues with i9 cpus, firing 10% of their all employess, pretty bad communication skills with customers etc... holy crap intel is on that downfall but idk for sure lmao
Don’t forget the class action refund cheques that they mail you, on a random date, expire 14 days from the day they mailed it (lost $90 on that Apple battery gate thing when I was on vacation, no recourse if you don’t cash it in time!)
@@Kmcornell23 I was having instability issues for about two months, but after I updated my BIOS, the problem seems to have fixed itself to an extent. However, I can't do any overclocking whatsoever now.
@@SLjoe_maindang. On the plus side, at least it's still a powerful CPU. Imagine if it was a low end CPU and having these issues. A stock 13900k is still a solid performer. It's power hungry and runs hot, but it still puts up decent numbers. Personally I'll be going Ryzen 9000 here soon. It's time for AMD to shine.
Strix Halo sounds badass! 100 watt APU in a tablet, when usually they are 15 to 30 watts. Ive been saying this for years, but APU's will be the way to go someday.
I do that at the airport, I refuse to use their self check-in kiosk that limits the options I legally have, and I'm required to check my bag at the desk anyway, so WTF. It helps that I have a script for a cane, that I only use at the airport because I really am that stubborn of an old man! They see the cane, suddenly they fall all over themselves to be helpful, go figure. ELPT: You don't have to have a script for a cane, (I just do because of health issues) and it's illegal, and an instant win lawsuit, if they even ask you why you have one. ;) That does not apply to walking/hiking sticks, make sure it *looks* like a cane, even a simple one. No need for those heavy and awkward 4 point mega-canes or something.
9:59 I'm gonna disagree with the disagreement, Windows was _the_ reason I switched to Linux. The straw that broke the camel's back was in 2020 when I'd just bought an external audio interface and just couldn't get the drivers and software to install properly. I didn't even have to install _anything_ for it to just work in Linux. And following what's been going on with Windows over the past four years from the sidelines has only solidified my opinion that I made the right choice. Microsoft made me a Linux user.
The best thing that intel could do to save face is to replace anyones 13th/14th gen CPU with a new one. If the chips are actually good, they could sell them as refurbished. If they're bad, then they did right to their customers. Imagine having a bad 13900k and intel just sends you a new one without making you jump through a bunch of hoops. That would help them a lot in the eyes of their customers. Instead it seems like they're just giving them the finger...
I bought mine on release(13900k 2 years ago) and RMAed it at 1 year in, just now after another year, I was crashing tabs 50 times a day, bsod 2-3 times a day- requested a refund, and they offered me $599 (I paid $704 total including tax, $649 for the actual cpu) so basically I got only $50 less than I paid 2 years ago(excluding the tax), so I’m fairly happy with intels customer support, they didn’t screw me or anything, but it was a painful 2 years which sucked after I spent $1200 to upgrade my motherboard and cpu only to turn around and not be able to use it properly
A small restaurant chain near me has "AI" (text to speech) ordering for phone orders, It sucks balls. It sucks so much that when you hang up after finding that out, a person does call you, except it's a call center in india. It would be cheaper and more helpful to just hire a person at the restaurant to do nothing but take phone calls. I called them instead of ordering online so I could talk to a person and make strange requests that aren't on the computer. Like what if I'm driving and want to place an order?
@@tyler6602 they added ai to Carl’s Jr by my house and I never went back it was god awful the machine responds back super slow I doubt it’s really ai and the store I think is closing down so to answer ufd no it’s horrible 😅
MacOS is not good for gaming. So if you use your computer to play video games, your only options are Windows and Linux. I think MacOS is more for people who use their laptops for regular day to day computing (like using websites and word processing, making presentations etc.) who buy their computers from retail and require commercial support, as well as those that use their laptop to run their creative media software. So when you start seeing Linux laptops at your Best Buy from folks like Dell and Lenovo and Asus or even System 76, is when Linux is the viable alternative for the mainstream I think.
We'll know once media starts reporting on Linux user percentage increases. My firm take on why Linux never took off is how the community treats newbies. Newbie: "How do I do xxx?" or "How do I use Linux?" "In Windows, all I have to do is ..." Linux answered in a link: "Let me google that for you."
@@Austin1990 Unless youre using a distro that is not a stable one, Linux shouldnt break itself, you can break it easely because of the control it gives you, but it usually doesnt break itself. I had windows crap the bed more often than my linux crap the bed. Theres a reason that a majority of server including microsoft ones, use linux to host it, Microsoft doesnt even use its own software to host they own server... think about it.
@@SillyW0rld I have had stability issues even with Ubuntu and Mint. Servers have IT professionals whose only jobs are to keep them working. A home user doesn't have that luxury. Moreover, I think the desktop environments are where most of the instability is located as I have never had issues with terminal-only installs. 3D acceleration and media codecs have been particularly troublesome areas.
@@Austin1990 You know there are many Desktop environment for you to choose from? KDE, Gnome, Xfce etc... If one doesnt work for you for some reason, try another one ? Also if youre using Nvidia make sure you installed the proprietary drivers and not the nouveau driver. If youre using AMD gpu then everything should pretty much just work out of the box. Im using KDE Garuda Linux for 2 years and has no issues so far. Im using nvidia drivers with Gsync enable and everything has been running smoothly.
I am with you brother. In light of last generation(s) socio cultural pushing hard to conform human nature via hammering open ended social application Do's and don't, good and bad, appealing and ugly. We are being molded to accept AI, Ai, ai, ai, ai (echo vanishes...).😅
😂Life is gonna suck big time for you! This is only the beginning. Prepare for nearly ALL administrative jobs to disappear. And the prospect of an AI not treating me like a complete moron is something i look forward to.
@countmorbid3187 I am 50, I look at and try to comprehend younger generations from 3rd point of view. They do have great things for themselves but AI, DEI, Racial card, conformism. I am like kids brace yourselves along with recession, debts, widening gap ultra rich and mid income to low incomes. Shit is about to hit the fam some time un next 10 years
@@critic_empower_joke_rlaxtslife I'm 63. My kids are like 30. They are not on any social media network apart from LinkedIn. SM is the real curse. The woke left and the mentally ill climate radicals. It will be a challenge yeah. The one my generation caused by pampering and abolishing the draft.
Not to be all doom and gloom but AI ordering pretty much exclusively makes the customer experience worse and we likely won’t see any lower prices as a result of this cost cutting measure. If my “shopping” experience is being made worse I would at least expect a cheaper product.
Going to *mildly* disagree about the Linux adoption thing. While you're right that MacOS adoption is more likely for dissatisfied Windows users, there *has* been a noticeable uptick in people mentioning moving/trying to move to Linux as a result of recent Windows enshittification.
as a long time linux user and gamer, the adoption of linux has been consistent but very slow until recent, i would have maybe 1 person a year, if that inquire and then actually go through with it often with my help. recently has been different, co-pilot and the screenshot thing - weather its a legitimate concern or not, has been widely negatively received, and i think this has lead to the recent small, but noticeable spike in linux adoption, even within my own community, i have helped more people get up to speed with linux in the past 5 months than the past 5 years, and in my anecdotal experience, all have been desktop systems, not steam decks. however i am a personal fan of the steamdeck, valve has been a great and much appreciated supporter of proton's continued development which is a big part of why linux is becoming more and more realistic for the average gamer. just my two cents. the influx of guided linux installers in the past couple years also hasnt hurt.
A while ago tried out Linux. At first just dual-booting as an experiment, then after a few years I was no longer prepared to put up with fighting Windows (having used 3.11, 95, 98, NT4, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10) to make it less frustrating to use (e.g. updates constantly and silently reverting custom configuration) I switched over to Linux completely and never looked back.
I’ve tried the AI Taco Bell Drive Thru. It still can’t handle customization properly and a person typically needs to step in. Honestly not a fan of the stereotypical AI voice too.
This may get actually very serious for Intel, despite every time someone makes a comment like this one Brett is like: "Nobody cares about a few burned CPUs except for you, bunch of nerds!!!" 😂😂😂
McDonald's self checkout kiosks are so shit, I have 0 confidence in any "AI self checkout" bs. If fastfood companies can't even figure out a simple kiosk, those AI bs are just worse.
Predictable cynicism, although I agree it likely has nothing to do with "workloads". At least in the US there are more jobs like that available than there are people willing to do them... i.e., there is a shortage of workers. Maybe it's an overinflated feeling of self-importance by people or just Gen-Z "I don't want to work" attitude, but these companies have a hard time filling some positions.
9:00 its not fixable though... 10:00 Linux is better for servers and business level usage, like hosting sites such as RU-vid, that will likely be on hosted on a linux server. Windows has all the game support, but Linux is getting more and more supported games
The current state of proton and wine actually puts linux ahead of windows for most gaming. Not only can I use wine to run games natively that windows cannot (original unpatched DOS games, many early 2000s games are broken by newer versions of windows, even crysis 1 requires patching to even run on a current OS) but in the latest games proton often gets better framerates than running native dx12. Literally the only hangup is anticheat software, which can absolutely work but is not allowed because the companies don't feel there is enough marketshare to allow it.
@@Denbot.Gaming Steam has it fully integrated and Lutris for all non steam applications. Secondly, look into GE proton, they often have many fixes and optimizations outside of standard proton. For the last 2 years I've been buying many launch titles without worry, hogwarts legacy, helldivers 2, avatar frontiers and whatever else I feel like playing. As I said, anticheat is still a hangup, protondb allows you to check games and often user reports include any tweaks required.
@@Denbot.Gaming GE proton is your friend. protondb you can look up specific games and see any fixes users needed. Lutris is great for all non steam games.
The McDonalds here had it for the past year. The voice ordering worked great. They had a human behind listening in to correct orders mistakes lighting fast ordering. Surprized me when I heard they were removing it.
Are the specs worth the 905$ I spent on this ASUS Vivobook S 16? It has 2.3 GHz Intel Core Ultra 9-185H, 16GB Ram LPDDR5X, 1TB SSD, 16 Hour Battery, Windows 11 Yeah, I know Intel Chip was a lousy call, given what’s happening
I'm with you on the Linux adoption thing Brett. Every time some major problem comes out on Windows or Mac people say they're gonna jump ship to Linux. Actual data shows otherwise. Its just like when Elon has issues on Twitter and everyone says they're gonna leave, and then new apps come up, and people download them but stay on Twitter anyway. It happens, but it's a very small percentage.
As someone who primarily orders ahead online, I loved the McDonald's drive-thru AI. I'd simply drive up, say my order number, and move along. No waiting for a person to realize I'm at the speaker - or, alternatively, not realizing I'm there and keep taking the orders at the other speaker. It was fast and convenient, and I hope they bring it back.
Worked at intel not that long ago they had considerably older hardware for debugging and running tests. I work at amd now everything is automated and sleek. They never stood a chance
Poor Intel, If they'd just been clearer about how they were going to handle the 13/14th gen problem, they could've avoided the legal eagle's (re: vultures) from circling.
But the problen made by the motherboard manufacturers.. because Intel suggested a lower power settings, but evetyone decided to skip that, because if they use 10% more Voltage (like 3,5V instead of 3,3V etc), the benchmark result was better.. but that is not a problem what should paid by Intel, that is caused by your BIOS provider (alias motherboard manufacturer), so they should compensate you for the result..
Funny how there are people who returned their ROG Ally because they found the initial setup too complex (even though it's extremely simple) and some people still think the average audience will move from Windows to Linux.
bigger die size = better cooling in laptops? on my old msi laptop the cpu die is like 1/3 of the gpu size, pulls almost same power, heats up real bad compared to gpu
Intel 13th and 14th gen chips having an Xbox 360 red ring of death sort of situation. They need to allow across the board refunds and RMAs to make this right for consumers and business partners who bought those CPUs.
Nobody wants this AI stuff, we especially don't want to pay a premium for it, and we really don't want to sacrifice CPU and GPU performance to attain it.
i used to work at an it firm that worked with fast food restaurants and i had to roll out "ai voice ordering" to like 30 locations, and it was terrible. the franchise owner paid a ton of money just to trial it and get new hardware for it to work and it was slower than a 15 year old with like a week of experience taking orders, with worse accuracy and worse sales numbers as it just didnt understand how to recommend upsales and combos properly. most stores would just turn it off cause it would just ignore customers or have so many errors that it would have just been faster to not use it in the first place
Personally, I switched, started to move towards Linux because I got angry with Windows 11. I’m very much aware that I’m not the average computer user and I’m definitely not the average Mac user. And say what you want, but I actually really like it and I’m migrating over to Linux and MacOS…. I have used Windows since I was a like 5 or 6 and got to use the family Windows XP computer, I have used MacOS for school work and “doing Mac things” since 6th grade, which is at the age of 12 here in Sweden (assuming you aren’t a year behind or ahead). I actually tried out Ubuntu a fair amount of years ago, but quickly lost all interest, I don’t even remember how old I was or when, but it didn’t stick with me that time, this time is different, I get it now and I like it.
AMD with the APUs is doing what i would have liked intel to do for many years. Intel already experimented with far larger iGPUs and at several times had decent prototypes and even working consumer products. But 10nm didnt work out and they just scrapped those designs. Just for reference: Intel added L4 cache to large iGPUs - which made them quite usable. Intel also tried adding 3rd Party GPU-dies onto the same substrate, even with dedicated memory. And when AMD started with the IO-die the first thought was: Why is there no option for a giant GPU on that? And now it seems we finally get something truly great.
Talking to a human so that they can punch it into a terminal doesn't always make a lot of sense. If AI can do it faster, or if me punching it into the terminal does it faster, then I'm fine with that.
White Castle has this crap and when it works it works pretty well. It’s faster than a new or inexperienced employee but nowhere near as fast as someone who actually knows the menu and how to do the job. Plus when it doesn’t work, you don’t find out until after you have finished ordering and it can’t send your order into the store. Then you just have to reorder everything with a real person.
Cooling issues, liquid cooling of course but what kind of liquid? Immersion cooling fluid. 3M has a product called Novec 649 but that will soon be discontinued due to environmental issues but there are replacements. Immersion fluids are non-conductive and with the right CPU fixture, you can encase your CPU in a liquid heatsink.
We have an AI ordering system at Carl's Jr. here where I live and in my experience its so much worse than a regular person especially if you're making a special order. P.S that's Hardee's out east.
They haven’t even figured out how to make IVR systems work well with a limited range of responses, so I’ll believe AI ordering works when I see it handle an order for a family of 5 with 3 of them making special orders. I’m not holding my breath.
225 mm is roughly the size of the RX 7600 (204mm), which started out costing $299, and margins on GPUs are much lower than on CPUs or APUs, so you know that Strix Point Laptops are not very cheap to make!
This era of CPUs for me, is just to sit back and relax, with a popcorn watching what will Intel do, to save their ass from this massive controversy on my AMD rig
11:39 Be careful and don't make too many mistakes, that's how Linus Media Group from Linus Tech Tips got harassed and cyberbullied by Stephen "Gamers Nexus" Burke from Gamers Nexus and turned some viewers against Linus Media Group from Linus Tech Tip.
4:21 spot on, man. On one hand, I know that we've had lots of innovation in the past the improved efficiency (tilling fields, cutting lumber, etc). On the other, corpo overlords are GREEDY AF BASTERDZ in 2024, so any improvements are SUS : / Wild times to be alive... lol ~a random canadian subscriber dude
NGL idk how I feel about an APU that powerful with these motherboards slacking. We'd need VRM and mosfets that can handle that added power requirement. My last APU build was with a 2200G or 3200G...regardless. One day it just refused to post off the integrated APU, had to put a dedicated card in that system or it wouldn't run. So I think while this is a great direction. The motherboards need to keep costs low but also be ready to handle massive APUs which I think just won't happen. The good motherboards for powerful APUs will be crazy expensive. At which point save the motherboard money and get a dedicated GPU. You'd be better off.
Mabye I am weird, but I prefer to order fast food though apps or online to pick up at the store. Seems like the mics at drive thrus dont like my voice and its always an issue, so its just easier.
Voice AI and "enhancing customer experience"... yeah sure. That isn't about decreasing the workforce at all. It's for customers. Really. Customers just love talking to machines. And we're going to have all the staff just chillin and having fun.
5900XT is an interesting way of dealing with chips that don't reach the expected boost levels. If Intel had just done 13900XT/14900XT variants with lower base and boost clocks instead of pushing voltage and releasing everything as 13900 or 13900K, we might not have an Intel lawsuit
5.6GHz should be the max clocks for the 13900K and 14900K. The i9-13980HX laptop is such a beast and reaches those clocks. Not launching with 6GHz or 5.7GHz with multicore enhancement on.
I know you will never see this but have you considered a collaborative set with someone like Tecno Dad. Linking your cause with TechoBlades would be something to see. I watch you , my kids still revere TechoBlade deeply. It could be quite the "Dads and Lads " event.
These fast food places trying to integrate AI ordering are doing it wrong, they SHOULD still have a person talking to you on the off chance you have to talk about something before just rattling off your order but have what you say build your order automatically and that person talking to you can monitor and correct what is automatically added to the customer's order... trying to cut people out of their job with AI is almost always a dumb idea... having it help them do their job is where we should be focusing at this point since the tech is still not very good.
Funny enough, I went to Taco Bell for the first time in a while yesterday. I ordered 1 item and thr AI got it right. It's definitely something that they are doing to get rid of people, completely taking human interaction. Time to fully support local moms and pops stores.
What I hate the most is passing the buck. I purchased a PC from cyberpower a month ago and Cyberpower says they do accept any responsibility if I upgrade my BIOS and something goes wrong. Gigabyte says contact Intel. intel says contact Cyberpower.
