CES 2020: Here We Are Again
January 7, 2020 | Dan Feinberg, Technology Editor, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 10 minutes
The second press event I attended was by Brainco, who is the world’s largest brain-machine interface company. Signals from your brain use these subtle signals to analyze and help people train their brains to gain better control.
They announced that their goal for this year is to have a fully functional, AI-controlled, smart prosthetic available for under $10,000. I had a chance to meet a few users of their latest prosthetics. They are able to control the artificial arms and hands solely by thought. The advances in this field over the last few years are truly amazing. While shaking hands with him, it was just so natural and seemed to have some advantages.
AMD Press Event
AMD has made great progress in the last year, and they are proud of their 7-nm CPUs. In one year, they doubled the performance of their higher-end CPUs and GPUs. They introduced Zen 2, chiplets, and 7 nm, which helped them take the lead in enthusiast CPUs in 2019. I chose to use a Ryzen 9 CPU in a rig I just built and can attest to its amazing power and performance as well as its reasonable cost. In graphics, it looks as if they are aiming to be able to drive 8K resolution.
AMD also announced the Ryzen 4000 for mobile/notebooks (7-nm, 8-core, 16-thread, ultra-thin, and powerful). It has amazing 15-Wt TDP, excellent performance, and great battery life for the next generation of light and powerful notebooks. AMD is very attentive to gaming for their Radion cards too. They are comparing their new Radions to others in their class and not to the higher-class NVIDIA cards, which I know would still with the GPU power crown. Their new latest is being compared to the mid-range 1660 NVIDIA. At $279, it is a great value.
