Nvidia GPU owners NEED To Check This NOW!

Nvidia GPU owners need to check your card right now. Intel is planning a massive [music] design change for future CPUs. Both AMD and Intel are gearing up to release their nextG [music] monsters and AMD just confirmed new GPU killers are coming. [music] Welcome everyone to Gamer Mode. You seriously need to go and check your Nvidia GPU right now because there's a serious issue. For those who've been keeping up with the ongoing problems plaguing the new 16 pin power connector for GPUs, you know that early on it was concluded to be user error. Specifically, that people weren't inserting them all the way, which reduced the effective contact area, increased resistance, and ultimately led to dangerous heat buildup. Since then, we've seen people claim time and time again that they inserted the connector all the way, yet it's still melted. Well, it looks like we may have found out why, and it's all thanks to a third-p partyy connector that was made to prevent the melting problem. For those who may not have seen it yet, MSI has a special yellow tip connector that comes with most of their GPUs, and it's made as an indicator to let you know when the connector is inserted all the way. Once you don't see any yellow, you're good to go. This is where today's story comes in. In a popular new Reddit post, a user shared that his MSI cable has slowly backed out over time to the point where the yellow end became visible. And what's worse is that quite a few people in the comments have noticed the same thing. Now, this has led multiple articles being written about MSI's connector. But I bet the reason that we're only hearing about it with MSI's cables is because it's far more obvious when they pull out versus a regular black cable. I mean, there shouldn't be any kind of physical difference in MSI's yellow cable and any other one. At the very least, we can assume that it's too spec for the 12V2X6 connector. And given that's true, this starts to make a lot more sense of the problems we've been seeing, like the fact that most failures tend to happen after months of use. This gives the cable time to wiggle out through thermal cycling. Basically, as the connector heats up, it expands and then when it cools, it contracts over time. This allows it to slowly move away. The retention clip is supposed to prevent this, but it may not be tight enough or it could be warping a bit as it heats up as well. This part is, of course, just my opinion. It could ultimately be the yellow connector. And more than one of those have melted, but I really think this explains a lot. Either way, if you own a GPU with a new connector, I'd highly suggest you make sure that it's still inserted all the way. Intel is apparently planning a huge design change for upcoming CPUs. It was Intel's 12th generation that brought us their now ubiquitous big little design. A CPU with two completely separate core architectures. One for tasks needing a ton of performance and one for very low power use. In theory, this is a good idea, but in practice, it can definitely be a headache. Intel had to create their own machine learning based monitor that helps schedule tasks called Thread Director. After years of this, it looks like Intel could be planning to do away with it altogether. This idea first started making headlines last year with leakers claiming that Intel was planning a unified core architecture design, meaning we finally won't need special hardware like Thread Director. Well, we just got our first real proof of this from a new job posting by Intel. As you can see here, it actually mentions that they're seeking a quote highly motivated senior CPU verification engineer to join our unified core design team. So, yeah, this is looking more and more like a real thing. As for what exactly this entails, there are a few different possibilities. One leaker basically claimed that Intel's getting rid of their performance core team and just using eores. A patent Intel filed a little while back called softwaredefined super core could be another possibility. It basically uses multiple cores to mimic an ultrawide execution. So, there's a ton of different ideas as to what direction Intel is going here, but one thing's for certain, just about anything is better for desktop than what they have now. Both AMD and Intel are about to release their biggest CPU upgrades in years, leading to what might be a battle for the ages. And today, we're finally getting info on release. Don't forget that AMD's nextG Ryzen has been leaked to not only get the first core count increase in years to 24, but it's also rumored to come with a serious clock increase and it's built on a brand new node. Basically, Ryzen 10000, you hear that AMD, not AI, is said to be one of their biggest upgrades in years. But Intel is apparently planning their own massive upgrade with nextG Nova Lake. I'm talking a huge core count increase up to 52 and even a rumored X3D Challenger. Basically, I'm getting really pumped for this. Luckily, it sounds like we won't have to wait too long as a well-known leaker just claimed that we can expect both Intel and AMD's nextG desktop CPUs at next year's CES. Meaning, if this is right, they're set to come in the beginning of 2027, specifically in January. Now, we recently heard a 2027 date for AMD's nextG, but at the time, we didn't get any kind of indication of when in 2027, but according to this, both companies are rushing for CES. So, I've got to ask, who do you think will win between AMD and Intel for next gen? Let me know down in the comments below. And speaking of nextG, Andy just confirmed new GPU killers are coming to desktop. As many of you know, AMD never released their Ryzen AI 300 series APUs on desktop, even though they came with a very nice upgrade to not only the CPU, but also the GPU. And because of that, we're still stuck on their 8000G series of processors with the highestend 8700G being an 8 core 16thread CPU with just 12 CUS based on RDNA3. At the time, it was of course a really nice upgrade, but we definitely need something better, especially with GPU prices beginning to skyrocket. ABUS are a great option to give at least some gaming performance while you wait to get a better discrete GPU. Luckily, not too long ago, we found out that AMD had given us some hints that they were bringing their brand new Ryzen 400 series processors to desktop. specifically in a couple slides that were shared during CES. Well, we now have absolute proof that AMI is launching their nextG APUs on desktop as they recently uploaded a B-roll clip of just that to their website for partners. Basically, this is marketing material for them to use. And while the date says May of last year, that's just when the file was made. It wasn't actually put up until just recently. You'll also notice that this is specifically Ryzen Pro, but I really wouldn't worry about that. AMD typically makes separate videos for their Pro models. Don't forget that AMD also launched Pro versions of their 8000G lineup as well. Either way, don't forget that their 400 series processors come with up to 12 cores and 24 threads based on Zen 5 at up to 5.2 GHz. But that's really not the big upgrade here. partially because those 12 cores are broken up into big and little cores, but also because the iGPU gets a very impressive 33% increase in CUS from 12 to 16. Oh, and I actually can't believe I didn't notice this until now, but even on this slide, it literally says powering next generation AI desktops and laptops. Sam, it's definitely
