THAT’S What I’m Talkin’ About

The video kicks off with a lighthearted rebranding as SlapLinked and dives into early rumors about AMD's Ryzen 9800 X3D. The host highlights a launch date of November 7, with price still unconfirmed, though leaks suggest around $500 for the chip. They discuss Cinebench R23 scores from leaked benchmarks showing the 9800 X3D performing impressively in multi-core and single-core tests, while noting the results are from an overclocked sample and should be treated as indicative. The discussion broadens to other rumored AMD and Intel products, including leaked metrics for a hypothetical 9950 X3D and a refreshed Ryzen 5600 series lineup, as well as Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K and its performance relative to the 14900K, with notes on power draw and efficiency. The segment then pivots to Valve’s stance on Steam Deck updates, explaining that Valve does not plan yearly Steam Deck refreshes, aiming instead for meaningful generational gains in performance without sacrificing battery life, a stance framed as a consumer-friendly approach. The host moves through a Quick Bits section covering Snapdragon 8 Elite, iPad Mini jelly scrolling, and other tech tidbits, including Internet Archive’s email-related hacking incident and the ByteDance AI sabotage rumor, before wrapping up with a note on Microsoft introducing autonomous AI agents for businesses and new pre-made bots. The narrative ties these topics together as a snapshot of rapid hardware and software shifts across CPUs, mobile chips, consoles, and AI tooling, emphasizing efficiency, longevity, and consumer-focused product strategies.
