Hello and welcome to TechLink! It’s time for some exciting tech news. Intel has called out AMD for misleading branding in a new marketing presentation that it swiftly took down when it was spotted. The presentation deck uses imagery to represent AMD as an untrustworthy snake oil salesman and contains four core truths intended to help consumers see through its competitors’ witchcraft.

The first truth presented is that current-gen Ryzen processors secretly use AMD’s 2019 chip architecture, unlike current-gen Intel processors which use Intel’s top-of-the-line 13th gen architecture released in 2023. It’s created by slightly tweaking Intel’s 12th gen architecture from 2021. Intel’s 2015 14-nanometer Skylake architecture has been rebadged twice and sold as 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th gen.

It’s clear that both Intel and AMD have their own branding issues, and the rivalry between the two companies remains intense. However, it’s essential for consumers to be aware of these marketing tactics and make informed decisions when choosing hardware.

In other news, Google has launched a new AI model called Gemini, which it claims beats GPT-4 on a wide range of benchmarks. Gemini is described as natively multimodal and was trained on images, text, and video itself. It comes in three versions: Nano, Pro, and Ultra. Gemini Pro is now powering Google’s AI chatbot, Bart, and will soon be available to developers and Google’s Enterprise customers.

Twitch has announced that it will end all business in South Korea by the end of February due to prohibitively expensive operating costs. This decision will affect streamers with significant Korean fan bases, and it’s unclear how they will migrate to alternative streaming platforms like YouTube or Africa.

In the world of hardware, Microsoft has announced that individuals, not just businesses, will be able to pay for Windows 10 extended security updates past its scheduled expiry date of October 14th, 2025. This decision reflects the tech giant’s recognition that Windows users still rely on the older operating system.

On the legal front, a lawsuit against Amazon for selling spy cams is going forward after the company’s motion to dismiss the case was denied. The plaintiff claims that the e-commerce giant should have foreseen that a hidden camera might be used to illegally record people, and the judge agrees that this claim is credible enough for the suit to proceed.

Finally, the UK is considering using face-scanning tech to age-gate pornography following the Online Safety Bill passing into law. While the government admits that there’s little evidence that AI age estimation will be fair, reliable, or effective, they are still exploring the use of this technology.

In conclusion, the tech industry continues to be filled with exciting developments, legal battles, and ethical considerations. We must remain vigilant in understanding the marketing tactics of technology companies, advocating for consumer rights, and navigating the complex relationship between tech, privacy, and security. Stay tuned for more updates and exclusive interviews on TechLink. Thank you for joining us, and we look forward to bringing you the most exciting news in the world of technology.

  1. MICROSOFT'S PUTTING WHAT ON WINDOWS 10?! Aw no, Windows 10 is officially dead now. Those aren't features Microshiz. Windows 7, 8.1, and Linux are truly the only OSes to ever go for anymore. Windows 7&8 locally, Linux socially. See what I did there.

  2. i do have to agree that AMD's naming conventions are confusing. at least just telling which intel CPU something is is easier generally, theres, for the core series you have i3, i5, and i7 and i9, which is the brand modifier, think of it like a performance level indicator, though for most general users i5 is your playground, and then you have ex: i5 6600k, so its an i5, 6XXX indicates the generation, X600 is which specific model it is, the higher it is, the new and more advanced it is (generally), and the letter is one of a limited number of indicators of specific extra features. in the case of "K" it means that it has been unlocked, so it can be overclocked, its usually i higher performace version, 6600 vs 6600k

    though once you go outside the Core series things get a bit fucky, so intel kind of loses its ability to criticize over that

  3. Anything stored online will sooner or later just vanish as the services changes, so anything important should always be stored locally and at least have a backup or 3. I've been a live long enough to actually see this happen and it will happen again sooner or later. Even storing things locally isn't excatly a good thing as a harddrive might actually fail at any time for even a minor issue. Again I have seen this with my raid as that has been affected by lost drives and even bit rot where just a few bits of a file gets corrupted so that the file can no longer be used. So for your important data, do not trust any single point and always use backups that's both local and not. This is so that you can test that what ever version you are using is matched with what you have backed up.

  4. I've stuck with AMD for my last 4 upgrades and AMD will be my next upgrade. That being said, my Ryzen 9 may hold up for some time to come.

  5. I'm fairly new to the channel. Who is that person yelling nonsense? It looks like it makes Riley feel awkward to the point where he has to chuckle. Then the background person is laughing historically at something that's not funny. is this a 90s sitcom version of a laugh track to attempt to help the episode? These are good. The background is unnecessary.

  6. This is a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man reminder that the Microsoft Activation Scripts by Massgrave can easily activate Windows 10 Iot Enterprise LTSC 2021.
    Which is fully supported by Microsoft until 2032. AND come without bloatware/trash apps preinstalled. AND lets you control when and how updates happen.

  7. My old YouTube video which played music from YouTube's free music library got demonetized with this message "Copyrighted content has been detected in your video. The visibility of your video is not impacted, but you can no longer monetize it. The copyright owner is now either monetizing it, or receiving analytics about it. This is not a copyright strike and does not affect your channel." It was over 12 years old video.
