Let's get started with intel. The blue team is notorious for the short lifetime of their CPU platforms. The CPUs are usually only compatible with 2 generations of motherboards, and after that, you need to upgrade. With amd for example, they’ve kept releasing CPUs for the AM4 platform for the last 6 years. Seriously, AM4 came out before Ryzen was a thing.
Anyways, why am I talking about this? Well, while we might not get a FULL new generation on intel’s LGA1700, a couple of things point to a refresh of the raptor lake architecture sometimes next year. First, the obvious one, the rumors.
A couple of weeks ago, ECSM, a quite reputable leaker, I mean whoever they are, they had access to raptor lake LONG before release, but anyways, on November 13th they posted Billi Billi saying that 2023 will be a battle of Raptor lake vs zen 4. In the first half of the year, we’ll see the 13900KS and Zen 4 X3d. The 13900KS has been a thing we’ve known about for a while now, and it's not the refresh I'm talking about. Lower, he then says that in mid to late Q3, that’s august and September, toothpaste will have Raptor Lake refresh.
Ok I dont know where these people are getting these translations, but properly translated, it says “ in the middle and late Q3 of 2023, there will be a Raptor lake Refresh, the frequency will be higher by 0.1G~0.2G, and the number of cores will remain the same.
As for ARL and Zen 5, that is a matter of 2024 H2.”

![This Thing Has NO COMPETITION! - Antlion ModMic Wireless Review
Alright! This, is the ModMic wireless. Now you probably heard about the ModMic before, its made by Antilion audio and their OG wired modmic was pretty game-changing. Add a mic to any pair of headphones without sacrificing sound quality.
The problem with the OG is, well if your headphones are wireless, you now have to have a wire. This solves this problem. Now, its not new. I believe this wireless model came out in 2018, but I still have yet to find an alternative to a wireless mic, that doesnt cost an arm and a leg.( wireless go ) plus I think the ModMic wireless is due for an update. So Im going to give Antilon some feedback.
Now, Why wireless? You’re at your desk, you dont need wireless right? Wrong. if your internal DAC is trash, or if your cable needs to be more than 6 feet long, or if you play VR, you dont necessarily want an extra cable running from that headset. So let’s talk about it !

![AMDs Zen 4 is WAY FASTER Than we Thought!
Subscribe to Morning Brew : https://morningbrewdaily.com/bootsequence
Let’s get started with AMD. ever since the company released information on the Zen 4 architecture, people have been going back and forth on what exactly AMD’s figures meant. Is a single thread uplift of over 15% relevant? does 31% faster than a 12900K mean anything? How about the cache? Is twice the size that good? is it just a refresh with more cache? You get what I mean.
The issue here is simply that we dont have all or enough information. Zen 4 has been announced, but its not in the mass production phase yet. Thankfully though, that isn’t stopping their marketing team from spilling the beans here and there. Robert Hallock has been making his rounds of interviews and he gave us quite a lot, so let us take a look at the important beans.
First, about that 15% single thread uplift. During his interview with techpowerup, He said that its basically a temporary number and that they were purposefully conservative about it. Adding that they intend to publish the breakdown in IPC vs frequency gains later in the summer. Basically, its too early to have definitive info.
In terms of the launch release, some people were wondering if we would only have high end chips at the start rather than a full lineup, and to that, robert just said that we can expect a family. This probably means a similar launch to ryzen 5000. A 6, 8 ,12 and 16 core lineup.
Oh, and adding to that, during his interview with Hothardware, Robert kind of slipped in a little gold bean. He said that sure, 16 cores is the max but.. Well let me play the clip * Look at this cheeky little face. 40%+ more performance on a zen 4 16 cores vs Zen 3 16 cores. Nice. And he even adds a little “Right now” [...]

![AMD Engineer Responds to 7900 XTX 110c Issue!
Let’s get started with AMD! It looks like the whole Junction temperature issue for the rx 7900 series of gpu’s is still evolving. For those who didnt know, the 7900 XTX or even XT for that matter, has a bit of a cooler issues. Specifically , we’re talking about the reference designs, so those that look like this.
So whats the problem ? Well, a lot of people who owns these cards have been reporting really high hot spot temperatures. We’re talking 110 degrees celsius, which is the max the card can hit before starting to throttle. And while AMD said that its within spec, the high temperatures do affect the gaming performance, since the card has to downclock to keep itself cool. AMD even refused warranty service to some customers who were in that situation.
So whats new ? Well, and AMD representative stuck his neck out to respond to the situation on reddit. He says that the company is aware of thes hotspot issue being reported and they’re investigating / correlating steps to reproduce the issue. They’re also collecting serial numbers to see if this issue might be specific to a certain batch of cards. He says that it looks like there were 2 or 3 specific batches, or signatures as he calls them.
He also added that if its a mechanical issue, then RMA your card, I’d say that would only apply if your GPU was outright borked, or if a fan wasnt spinning or something like that. Also, they’re looking for solutions in firmware? Which… I dont know how I feel about that. All I could see that doing would be locking down the boost frequency for better temps, which would mean less auto OC boosting.

![Intel Wants YOU To Fix Their GPU Power Problems…
Today in the news, Intel wants YOU to fix their power problems, Raptor lake is quite efficient, and more. What is up guys I’m Snows and this is your boot sequence.
Lets get started with intel. So the ARC A750 and A770 are finally out. And the reviews are actually pretty favorable. I mean, its fine for gaming when it works and it has a great encoder that can make this card last years for a media PC. Plus, its price to performance is not bad.
The main issue which we all called out was the drivers. But it seems like theres another issue and I havent heard it be brought up by many outlets, only a couple. And that problem is Idle power consumption. The 2 ARC GPU’s, the A750 and A770 actually top every modern GPU’s when it comes to idle power draw. Computerbase and techpowerup noted power consumptions of around 45W… That’s at idle… you doing absolutely nothing on your PC. Now, to put that into perspective, a GPU with similar performance like the 6650XT only draws 5 watts at idle, and the RTX 3060 ? 11 watts. I mean even the 3090 ti consumes significantly less at around 25w.
This might seem pretty trivial, and for someone in my position, it is. I live in an area where electricity is super cheap. A year of this running at idle, 24/7 will only cost me about 30 ish dollars. But if you live elsewhere it can be a good chunk of change. From 60 all the way up to 150$ extra a year.

![This Keyboard is SO GOOD! Is it ALL I Ever Wanted?! - Keychron K4 v2
A portion of this Video is Sponsored by Aliexpress.
Keychron K4 keyboard: https://amzn.to/48fTdc6
This is the Keychron K4… and whats special about this one is that its the version 2 with some well-deserved tweaks to make it better. We’ll talk about those in a moment. this specific model is about 115$ US, so its in the range of a budget premium keyboard in my opinion. In the box, you’ll find the instructions for things like RGB and stuff, the keyboard, obviously, I mean look at this big boy its super solid wow, a USBC cable with a right angle connector, some extra keycaps depending on your system, and a keycap and switch puller.
Going back to the keyboard I’m not going to lie, this is definitely one the most premium keyboards I’ve ever felt, I mean damn. Zero flex and it is heavy, I believe its about 800Grams. Theres 3 basic versions of the K4 right now. Theres one that has a plastic frame with a white backlight, one thats plastic with an RGB backlight, and the version that I have here with an aluminum frame and RGB backlight. Theres a difference of about 20$ between the plastic white and the aluminum RGB version, but man would I pick the aluminum frame every time.
The K4v2 is a 96% Keyboard, the only keys its missing is Printscreen, scroll lock, pause break and insert. So it has 100 keys. Looking at the design, it packs all of it, with no voids which mean that its about 2 inches thinner than a usual full-sized keyboard. The font on the keycaps is actually pretty slick, Very legible during daytime which apparently was an issue with the V1. They are laser etched ABS so its something to keep in mind and the finish is smooth to the touch. The RGB is bright and even during nighttime, but because of the thinner font, its not as bright as some other keyboards.

![AMD’s GPU Marketing is SO DUMB Sometimes!
We got AMD in the news, Just one day before the Nvidia event, the red team wants you to remember that their RDNA architecture is more efficient than Nvidia’s. They just updated their “Why Radeon GPU” Chart and they claim up to 90% more performance per watt. Which in all honestly is total bullshit.
So here you can see the GPU model, Price, Average FPS, Total board power, and their conclusion. The games tested here are pretty balanced. There are a lot of Nvidia titles too, like battlefield 5, control, death stranding, and others. In total theres 17 games. And if we look at the data, its true that amd has a great efficiency advantage over Nvidia in a lot of cases.
But wow is this the most desperate attempt at making a competitor look bad. Look here for example, AMD is comparing the 6500XT to 1650… which ok , makes sense, and then the 6400 to the 1050 Ti… This comparison here is where they get their UP to 90% more performance. Look at the prices, the 1050 ti is more expensive than the 1650. If they compared it to the 1650 again here, which is what they should have done, or simply just not have that category listed, then that 90% would be gone for FPS per dollar, and the same thing to the FPS per watt.
Then we have Rockstar, over the weekend some footage of the next game in the franchise leaked! Im going to try and alter it as much as I can to show it to you, but yeah. GTA 6 is REAL, or at least the leak is. Rockstar confirmed that their systems suffered a network intrusion where confidential info was downloaded.
The footage thats been shared online seems to be early dev footage, especially when you consider it was running on a 6-year-old GPU, the GTX 1080. Thankfully though, Rockstar is not going to stop working on the game, so theres that. Have you seen some of the footage for yourself? Let me know if anything caught your attention down below.
