TT SHOW EPISODE 17 - CES 2024, NEW SUPER GPUS, AMD CHIPS, AND THE OLED DISPLAY
REVOLUTION!

Kosta Andreadis | TweakTown | Jan 12, 2024 8:55 AM CST

The TT Show is back for 2024, and with CES 2024 kicking off the New Year, it
feels like Jak and Kosta barely had time to unwrap their holiday gifts before
walking into a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic storm of tech news. So. Much. Tech.



From NVIDIA formally announcing its new GeForce RTX 40 Series SUPER refresh
line-up to AMD announcing a batch of new CPUs and a GPU, there's also the matter
of every company in the world deciding to announce a bunch of drool-worthy OLED
gaming monitors at the same time!

Then there's MSI entering the PC gaming handheld market with the very first
Intel-powered portable gaming rig, Sony teaming up with Nintendo, the stunning
trailer for Half-Life 2's RTX Remix, and an AI-powered grill that can cook the
perfect steak all the time, every time in 90 seconds.

MSI HAS A GAMING HANDHELD NOW, TOO - WE CHECKED OUT THE MSI CLAW AT CES 2024
DURING OUR VISIT

Ryan Gendreau | Gaming | Jan 12, 2024 11:44 PM CST

While we were at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada, MSI showed off a new product in
their product stack, a gaming handheld device dubbed the Claw.



The MSI Claw has an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor with Intel AI Boost. This
processor has 6 P cores, 8 E cores, and 2 low-power cores. It runs on an FHD
(1920x1080) IPS-level display measuring in at 7", which also runs at 120hz with
500 nits of brightness. Graphics are handled by an Intel Arc GPU along with
LPDDR5-6400 RAM. A 53WHr battery keeps the games flowing for around 50% longer
than the competition.

The ergonomic design of the Claw allows it to be comfortable in the user's hands
for hours thanks to the weight and grip. MSI has thousands of samples of data
collected from around the world. The Claw is ergonomically tailored for comfort
and precision. Designed to fit the natural contours of your grip, it provides an
intuitive gaming experience for hands of all sizes.

Claw at CES 2024 during our visit (full post)




MSI TEASED US WITH ITS RANGE OF NEW NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4080 AND 4070 SUPER GPUS
AT CES 2024

Ryan Gendreau | Video Cards & GPUs | Jan 12, 2024 10:56 PM CST

MSI had a few new GPUs to show off at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The
good-looking chap above is the RTX 4080 Super 16G EXPERT, and we are in love
with it. It just might be a shame or a crime to put a waterblock on such a
beautiful GPU. Now, this GPU has MSI's ZERO FROZR tech to keep the fans from
spinning until a load is present. When there is a load, the fans spin much like
the Founders Edition of the RTX 4080/RTX4090 does, but with more static
pressure.



This GPU also features a vapor chamber that covers both the GPU core and the
memory modules, and then the heat is brought out via heat pipes to the fin
array.

Now it's time to discuss the RTX 4070 Super 12G Ventus 2x White OC. Featuring a
dual fan dual slot heatsink, which is quite a rarity nowadays. Featuring two of
the Torx Fan 4.0, a copper baseplate, core pipes, and a reinforcing backplate
rounds out list of features.

MSI SHOWED OFF A RANGE OF NEW GAMING PERIPHERALS AT CES 2024, INCLUDING NEW
CLUTCH GAMING MICE

Ryan Gendreau | Peripherals | Jan 12, 2024 10:50 PM CST

MSI was showing quite a bit off at CES 2024 here in Las Vegas. The image above
shows a wired gaming mouse, Xbox controller, and wireless headset. The star of
the show was the Xbox controller, which, by normal appearance, looked just like
any other Xbox controller, but this one was a little different. There is a plate
between the joysticks; once removed, the sticks can be easily removed just by
lifting them up. Just imagine if you have stick drift and swapped in a new stick
in seconds.



Next up, we have three wireless mice, dubbed Versa Pro Wireless 8K, Clutch GM51
Lightweight Wireless, and the Clutch GM41 Lightweight Wireless. The Vera Pro
Wireless 8K states it has a top-notch PixArt PAW-3395 Optical sensor with
optical switches. The 8K part comes with a true 8,000 polling rate, 8 times more
data per second for smoother sensor tracking. The Clutch GM51 Lightweight
Wireless follows the trend with lightweight mice, weighing only 85 grams.

The Clutch GM51 has the same PAW-3395 optical sensor found in the 8K. The Clutch
GM41 Lightweight wireless has the PixArt PAW3370 Optical sensor and just weighs
just 74 grams. Lastly, the Clutch GM31 Lightweight Wireless is a 73-gram gaming
mouse with the PixArt PAW33 optical sensor. Every MSI mouse also has Tri-Mode
connectivity, which will connect up to 3 devices.

MSI DEMOS ITS RANGE OF NEW SSDS AT CES 2024 WITH ALL SORTS OF IMPRESSIVE COOLING
CAPABILITIES

Ryan Gendreau | Storage | Jan 12, 2024 2:39 PM CST

While at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada, MSI showed us some M.2 SSDs they have
been working on. The three pictured above, the M450, M461, and M480, are MSI's
PCIe 4.0 offerings with speeds ranging from 3,600 MB/s all the way up to 7,400
MB/s.



The M570 Pro is a PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 2TB FROZR that ups the speeds to 12,000
MB/s, which is impressive in its own right. Fitted with a custom heatsink, MSI
says it has fully covered the controller and flash modules along a surfaced
heatsink using case airflow, thus reducing temperatures by up to 20C.

The first version of the Spatium M580 PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 2TB FROZR+. This M.2 is
capable of lightning speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s reads with 12,000 MB/s writes.
The cooling solution that MSI has implemented is a 6mm heat pipe, which is
flattened to make complete contact with the controller and flash modules. Then,
the accent heatsink is high enough to use more of the case airflow to help
dissipate heat away.

XPG UNVEILS IMPRESSIVE LINEUP OF KEYBOARDS, PSUS, CASES, AND CUSTOM BUILDS AT
CES 2024

Ryan Gendreau | Cases, Cooling & PSU | Jan 12, 2024 2:32 PM CST

XPG, which is an ADATA brand, had a few things to show us while we attended CES
2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kicking things off, in the image above, is XPG
wireless peripherals, which were running off of a single USB wireless dongle.
When explained how this was possible, we were told it was a 20K MHz connection
running in split mode, meaning the headset could be using 8K, while the keyboard
could be using 7K and the mouse 5K, which is all done all behind the scenes via
the XPG Prime software.



Next up, we have mechanical keyboards, which, for us, looked absolutely
beautiful. The Sorcerer Mini is made with a gasket mount design with
triple-layered foam. Foam dampening provides the satisfying "Thoc" we all are
looking for. It is a TKL design with XPG tailor-made red switches. It has
per-key RGB lighting offering customization via the XPG Prime software and has
two additional accent keycaps for extra drip.

Now that we have covered the little brother, the Sorcerer steps up to a
full-sized 97-key design with all the same features of the Mini but with three
additional accent keycaps for extra drip.

GAMDIAS OFFERS NEW BOREAS AIR COOLERS, AURA AIOS, AND SOME OF THE MOST UNIQUE
FANS WE'VE SEEN

Chad Sebring | Cases, Cooling & PSU | Jan 12, 2024 2:27 PM CST

Starting our portion of the tour, we ran into these new Aeolus P2 RGB fans,
which link together and receive power from a single connection point. GAMDIAS
will sell these fans in sets of three in two packages. The package on the left
has just three fans, while the one to the right comes with a hub rather than
using an inline controller for lighting and will also offer software for
control.



While boasting speeds at 2400 RPM, delivering 74 CFM and 3.1 mmH20, there is a
more important feature to these fans. Where many companies use switches to
reverse flow or leave you needing to purchase another set of fans entirely,
GAMDIAS is shipping the Aeolus fans with extra fan blades for each fan. That
leaves customers the ability to run them as intake or exhaust simply by swapping
the blades to fit the need. What makes the deal even sweeter is that the
projected MSRP is only $89.99, but the date of release is yet to be determined.

On the other side of the suite, GAMDIAS showed packaging for all their updated
CPU coolers, where we see the Aura GL 240 WH and Aura GL120 V2 in black on the
left. The pair of air coolers are the new Boreas M2 in white and black models.

the most unique fans we've seen (full post)


GOOGLE COULD BE BRINGING LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS BACK WITH ANDROID 15

Oliver Haslam | Mobile Devices, Tablets & Phones | Jan 12, 2024 2:00 PM CST

If you're someone who uses an Android phone or tablet and wishes that you could
put your home screen widgets on the lock screen, you probably aren't alone. Now
that iPhone and iPad users can do that, people might wish they could do it on
Android - and back in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean that was a possibility. But the
feature was pulled as part of Android 5 Lollipop, and a new report suggests it
might be back with Android 15.



Writing for Android Authority, Mishaal Rehman says that he has been able to get
the lock screen widgets working on a Pixel Tablet in what appears to be a new
so-called communal space. Here, widgets can be added assuming that they have the
right configuration - something that only seems to be the case for a limited
number of Google widgets right now.

The testing was done on a Pixel Tablet running Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3 and it's
thought that Google is still in the early days of working things out, something
that might explain why things aren't working so great at the moment. But that
isn't the most interesting thing here - the report suggests that Google might be
about to limit the new feature to devices with larger displays, like the Pixel
Tablet.

15 (full post)




APPLE ARCADE IS A BIGGER PLAYER IN THE VIDEO GAME WORLD THAN YOU MIGHT THINK

Oliver Haslam | Gaming | Jan 12, 2024 1:30 PM CST

The Apple Arcade subscription gaming service allows people to pay a single
monthly fee and gain access to a ton of games that can be played on multiple
devices. Many games are available on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV or some
subset of those devices, and there are titles from some big names as well as
many indy developers as well. And while Apple might not be known for having its
finger on the pulse of the gaming world, a new report suggests that it might be
doing much better than you might think.



That report comes via research outfit MIDiA, with a lengthy report into the
newer entries into the gaming market suggesting that Apple Arcade isn't alone.
Netflix is another company making waves in the world of gaming, and the report
suggests that it's now time to start taking them both more seriously.

To back that up the research team shared details that suggest Apple Arcade is
proving popular. According to its Q4 2023 consumer research survey, 10% of US
consumers use Apple Arcade weekly. To put that into perspective, only 11% of
people use Steam or Nintendo Switch Online according to the figures shared

you might think (full post)


POLESTAR ISN'T GETTING READY OF APPLE CARPLAY OR ANDROID AUTO ANY TIME SOON

Oliver Haslam | Electric Vehicles & Cars | Jan 12, 2024 1:15 PM CST

With some carmakers like General Motors starting to turn their back on in-car
entertainment options like Apple's CarPlay and Google's Android Auto, some had
worried whether that would be a growing trend. Companies like Tesla prefer to
offer their own in-car entertainment systems and have all of their owners use
that exclusively while offering apps like Google Maps and Apple Music
themselves. However, Polestar says that it won't be one of those ditching iPhone
and Android connectivity any time soon.



Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath was speaking with TechCrunch when he said that the
company believes it's too important to offer customers a choice for it to ditch
any of the phone-mirroring options available today. Polestar currently uses an
in-car system that is powered by Google, and while Polestar believes that offers
the best experience, he believes that it isn't in Polestar's best interest to
try and dictate to drivers how they listen to music or use their favorite
mapping systems.

The approach is a refreshing one in an industry where carmakers don't have a
reputation for flexibility. CarPlay and Android Auto offer ways for drivers to
connect their phones either using a cable or wirelessly and then access their
apps via a large touchscreen. It's safer and easier for drivers to use those
apps than try to use their phone while driving, and in many cases, the apps
offered simply aren't available via the car's built-in software.

any time soon (full post)




YOUTUBE NO LONGER HAS AN IPHONE IMESSAGE APP, BUT YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW THAT
IT DID

Oliver Haslam | Mobile Devices, Tablets & Phones | Jan 12, 2024 1:00 PM CST

For a few years now Apple has offered developers a way to make apps that live
within the Messages app on iPhones and iPads. The so-called iMessage apps allow
people to interact with apps and content from within the Messages app and
messages threads without having to open the app proper. YouTube was one company
that offered an iMessage app but that seems to have changed, with the app no
longer available.



YouTube hasn't confirmed the change but the latest version of its iPhone and
iPad app has removed support for the iMessage app, 9to5Mac reports. There is no
mention of the move in the App Store release notes, with YouTube simply saying
that the new update is about bug fixes and performance improvements.

YouTube originally launched its iMessage app back in October of 2017 and it
allowed people to watch YouTube content within the Messages app while using the
native player. The app also made it easier for people to find and then share
YouTube videos without having to leave the Messages app to search for them.

never knew that it did (full post)
