Intel and AMD ally to shrink your next gaming laptop. A lot.

In fall 2017, chipmaking rivals Intel and AMD made a splash when they announced a low(er)-power processor combining Intel's eighth-generation series of Core i H-series CPUs with AMD Radeon RX Vega M discrete graphics. They didn't offer much in the way of details at the time, and at CES 2018 Intel followed up with specifics and more. The new "G" line targets the same gamers and content creators that systems based on Nvidia's Max-Q mobile GeForce GPUs do; people who need smaller, lighter laptops that punch way above their weight, such as supporting VR.

The Gs combine the Core i H-series CPUs with a custom version of the Radeon GPU in much the same way AMD's own Ryzen 2500U and 2700U do. Because Intel doesn't use AMD's Infinity Fabric technology, which allows AMD to mesh its modular die architectures together, Intel developed its own Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) to connect the CPU with the high-bandwidth memory (HBM2) AMD uses with its GPUs. The packages are much smaller than previous offerings and use less power, enabling smaller devices that deliver the same performance as larger predecessors.

Intel initially plans two different tiers of processors, which will come in Core i5 and i7 versions, based on the target power requirements of the systems. The Core processor with RX Vega M GL ("graphics low") is designed for thin and light systems in which the total power draw of the package doesn't exceed 65 watts (we'll see models from Dell and HP at the show). These will be the Core i7-8706G, i7-8705G and i5-8305G and incorporate a 20 compute-unit version of the Vega.

The other tier is designed for systems that can handle a power draw of 100 watts: compact desktops and all-in-ones, for example, or what Intel refers to as 1.2-liter systems (73 cubic inches). The HP Omen X Compact Desktop, the VR backpack, is about 234 cubic inches in comparison. 

They'll be Core i7 only, and use the Vega M GH ("high")  graphics which have 24 compute units. Those are the  i7-8809G and  i7-8709G, and the 8809G is fully unlocked so you can overclock the CPU, GPU and graphics memory. Those are incorporated into Intel's new NUCs, such as the scary compact gaming system above. (The locked version model is NUC8i7HVK and the unlocked model is: NUC8i7HNK.)

The GPUs bring with them all the capabilities of the line, including Freesync 2 support, Display Port 1.4 with HDR and HDMI 2.0b with HDR10 support.

I call out the compute-unit spec, which is sort of analogous to the number of cores a CPU has, because it provides an interesting comparison between the aforementioned AMD Ryzen mobile processors with the Vega GPUs -- those have only 10 CUs. But never fear: The G-series processors will continue to include Intel's HD 630 integrated graphics as well, in case you were worried about that. In total the two graphics engines can drive nine monitors (provided the relevant connectors are all available).

Intel plans for these chips to enable a forthcoming cloud-gaming platform with Gamestream and Artesyn as well, which would put Intel and AMD in competition with Nvidia's still-in-development GeForce Now.

FTC Drops Mark Zuckerberg as Defendant in Antitrust Lawsuit

FTC Drops Mark Zuckerberg as Defendant in Antitrust Lawsuit

The Federal Trade Commission has removed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg as a defendant in an antitrust lawsuit that aims to block the company's acquisition of virtual reality startup Within Unlimited.

The agency said in a filing in federal court that it had agreed to remove Zuckerberg as a defendant after the Facebook parent company's CEO agreed to not try to personally purchase Within Unlimited.

In July, the FTC filed a complaint with the US District Court for the Northern District of California to block Meta's acquisition of Within Unlimited, which makes a VR fitness app called Supernatural. The FTC argued that the acquisition, which was announced in October, would give Meta an illegally dominant position in the virtual reality market.

The Supernatural app and subscription service connect with a person's Apple Watch to track heart rate during workouts, much like Apple Fitness Plus. Supernatural uses video avatars of instructors in combination with motion-tracked workout routines. (Boxing was just added.) Supernatural sometimes feels like a ramped-up version of Meta's hit fitness VR music game Beat Saber. Meta acquired Beat Saber in 2019.

Virtual reality has become a prime focus for Zuckerberg. Last year, Facebook rebranded itself as Meta, a nod to the social network's ambition to be a prime mover in the metaverse, a collective term for virtual worlds where people can work, play, socialize and spend money.

The FTC's lawsuit is part of a focus on antitrust in Big Tech under FTC Chairperson Lina Khan. Meta, which requested Zuckerberg's removal from the lawsuit, had previously argued that the FTC lawsuit was "based on ideology and speculation, not evidence."

A Meta spokesman declined to comment.

GoPro captures marriage proposal 10,000 feet above the Earth

It's hard enough to look like a fool getting down on one knee to give an engagement ring to the one you love, so doing so while free-falling from 10,000 feet in the air must be terrifying.

But that's what skydiver Brandon Strohbehn did recently, proposing to his girlfriend while skydiving over sunny San Diego, Calif.

Strohbehn captured the proposal with a GoPro Hero 3+ camera so he and now-fiancee Nicole Nepomuceno can relive the adrenaline-filled moment any time they please. And what a crazy moment it was, as just after Strohbehn showed her the ring, he sent her plunging to the Earth below, though she thankfully caught her breath enough to open her parachute.

And, more importantly, he managed to not drop the ring. I imagine it would be even more difficult to track down a lost engagement ring than it would be to find Carmen Sandiego in America's Finest City.

The video was posted Thursday on GoPro's YouTube channel.

V-Moda S-80 Review: These Headphones Mystified Me, But They Do Have One Saving Grace

V-Moda S-80 Review: These Headphones Mystified Me, But They Do Have One Saving Grace

V-Moda's new S-80 on-ear headphones have not being getting good reviews -- and it's pretty easy to see why. 

First, they're an on-ear headphone, which are a dying breed as consumers who eschew earbuds gravitate toward over-ear models if they're going the full-size headphone route. Secondly, they're expensive at $400. And at 355g -- just 31 grams lighter than Apple's 386-gram AirPods Max -- they're heavy: The headband can put a little pressure on the crown of your head. (I shifted it off the apex of my head, moving it forward slightly.)

Like

• Impressive build quality
• Great sound, particularly for an on-ear headphone
• Removable ear pads and swappable faceplates (both adhere magnetically

Don't Like

• Heavy
• Expensive
• Could be more comfortable
• Lacks features for the price
• No carrying case

Additionally, they don't have such features as active noise-canceling, a transparency mode or much of anything extra except for swappable faceplates that adhere magnetically (that's nice) and an automatic volume boost that turns the headphones into sort of a wearable speaker when you turn the ear cups face up when the headphone are around your neck. They don't even come with a carrying case or an option for wired listening (they're rated for 20 hours of battery life). 

So the question is: Why on earth would anybody buy them instead of the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Bowers and Wilkins PX7 S2 -- along with several other excellent headphones -- are being offered for the same price? I don't have a good answer other than to say they S-80 are really well-built and have one major strength: They sound great. In fact, they may just be the best sounding on-ear headphones out there right now. They also sound better than V-Moda's Crossfade 2 Wireless headphones, offering better clarity and depth, though that model is more comfortable to wear. 

The headphones have 40mm drivers and removable ear pads that adhere magnetically.

David Carnoy/CNET

Equipped with 40mm drivers, they offer well-balanced, detailed sound with sparkling highs, natural-sounding mids and punchy, powerful bass that never gets boomy. They support the AAC, AptX HD and SBS audio codecs but not AptX Adaptive. They have a relatively spacious soundstage -- particularly for an on-ear headphone -- and they're a headphone you can listen to for long stretches without any hint of listening fatigue. That said, some folks simply won't be able to find them comfortable enough to wear for long stretches. I found my comfort zone with them but a comfort zone probably isn't something you want to have to search for with a pair of headphones. 

I didn't have a big problem with the lack of active noise canceling because the removable and replaceable ear pads do seal your ears off from the outside world pretty well and offer good passive noise isolation. The speaker mode is a little underwhelming because the volume boost doesn't really take the volume to the same level as the horseshoe-shaped wearable speakers I've tried from Bose and Sony over the years. And voice-calling performance is only so-so outdoors with subpar noise reduction (it's fine indoors with no wind and other ambient noise). 

You can buy additional faceplates with some pretty cool designs (you can choose one extra faceplate with your initial purchase of the headphones)

V-Moda

V-Moda S-80: Final thoughts

V-Moda's earlier wired on-ear model, the XS, is being discounted in white for as little as $110. V-Moda spent a lot of time developing that model to create a more compact, streamlined alternative to full-size over-ear headphones. It has a folding headband and is relatively comfortable for an on-ear headphone with decent sound. I'm not sure why V-Moda didn't just create a wireless version of that for around $250.

Instead we got the S-80, which is really well-built and sounds great for an on-ear headphone, but is hard to make a case for at its $400 price when you factor in its ergonomic issues and lack of features. On some level I like it for being different and a weird bird, so to speak. However, it's a bit mystifying and will have to come down in price to make it really worth considering.

California's Middle-Class Tax Refund: Do You Qualify for a Check?

California's Middle-Class Tax Refund: Do You Qualify for a Check?

What's happening

California has announced a one-time "middle-class tax refund" that will provide 23 million taxpayers with between $200 and $1,050.

Why it matters

California's economy is the largest in the US. The inflation relief payments are a compromise between Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers.

Starting this fall, California will send one-time inflation-relief checks to taxpayers. Through the Middle Class Tax Refund, eligible families will receive a one-time payment of as much as $1,050, depending on their income, filing status and household size.

The $9.5 billion in refunds is part of a larger $12 billion relief plan approved by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers in June.

"California's budget addresses the state's most pressing needs, and prioritizes getting dollars back into the pockets of millions of Californians who are grappling with global inflation and rising prices of everything from gas to groceries," Newsom said in a statement.

Here's what you need to know about California's inflation relief checks, including who is eligible for the money, how much they'll get and when they can expect to receive it. 

California is just one of numerous states offering residents stimulus payments. Find out which are issuing tax refunds and which are pausing their gas tax and sales tax.

Who qualifies for the California tax rebate check?

The refund plan has been set up in three tiers, based on the adjusted gross income on your 2020 California state tax return.

• Single taxpayers who earned less than $75,000 and couples who filed jointly and made less than $150,000 will receive $350 per taxpayer and another flat $350 if they have any dependents. A married couple with children, therefore, could receive as much as $1,050. This is the largest bracket, KCRA reported, representing about 82% of beneficiaries.
• Individual filers who made between $75,000 and $125,000 -- and couples who earned between $150,000 and $250,000 -- will receive $250 per taxpayer, plus another $250 if they have any dependents. A family with any children could receive $750.
  
• Individual filers who earned between $125,000 and $250,000 and couples who earned between $250,000 and $500,000 would receive $200 each. A family with children in this bracket could receive a maximum of $600.
  

Although single taxpayers who earned more than $250,000 and couples who made more than a combined $500,000 in 2020 aren't eligible, the Middle Class Tax Refund is expected to benefit 23 million Californians in all.

You can estimate your payment with the Franchise Tax Board website calculator.

What are the requirements for the tax rebate?

In addition to meeting income requirements, residents must have filed their 2020 tax refund by Oct. 15, 2021, have lived in the state for at least half of the 2020 tax year and still be a California resident on the date the payment is issued. 

They also cannot have been claimed as dependents in the 2020 tax year. 

When will the California tax rebate payments go out?

According to the  Franchise Tax Board, the payments will start going out in October and the last ones should be received in the middle of January 2023.  

How will California taxpayers receive their rebate payments?

If you filed your 2020 California state tax return electronically and requested a direct deposit for your refund, you will receive the tax rebate as a direct deposit, as well. 

Otherwise, you should receive your payment on a debit card. 

What if I didn't file a 2020 California tax return?

Most Californians who didn't file a complete 2020 tax return by Oct. 15, 2021, aren't eligible for the rebate. (The exception is for those who applied for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN, and had not received it by Oct 15, 2021.)

In addition to the tax rebate, the state is increasing funding for several social programs, including the Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment, which assists more than 1 million seniors and disabled people. SSI/SSPbenefits will increase by about $39 per month for individuals and by $100 per month for couples.

There are also increases to California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids, aka CalWORKS grants, which provide money and services to eligible families with children. Grant recipients could see their benefits increase as much as $194 a month, KCRA reported.

Hisense Now Offers Its Own Fire TV Starting at $530

Hisense Now Offers Its Own Fire TV Starting at $530

Hisense now makes a Fire TV. Today the manufacturer announced a partnership with Amazon to produce Hisense's first television featuring the Fire TV platform. 

The 50-inch, 4K LED TV has better picture quality specifications than many current Fire TVs made by Toshiba, Insignia and Amazon itself. It will include quantum dot technology and, according to the company, reach up to 600 nits of brightness. It also features Dolby Vision HDR, full-array local dimming, a 60Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 connectivity. The TV costs $530 and will be available starting today exclusively on Amazon. A 58-inch model will be released sometime this fall for $600.

Fire TVs offer deep integration with the Amazon ecosystem, including Alexa, Amazon's smart assistant. The new Hisense TVs come with an Alexa Voice Remote, which can be used to search for content while controlling the TV, as well as for other compatible smart home devices. 

The Fire TV platform allows users to download apps from Prime Video and other popular streaming services, but in CNET's reviews we prefer the Roku and Google TV systems. One reason is that Fire TV prominently displays too many ads and promotions for Amazon content throughout the OS -- for example, its screensaver mode can seem like the TV turns into a giant rotating billboard. Fire TV's search results are also less accurate in our experience than the other two.

Hisense joins a growing list of TV manufacturers that have partnered with Amazon to produce Fire TVs, most of which are less-expensive and come without many extras. Toshiba's M-Series of Fire TVs is a recent exception, however. It also comes with full-array local dimming but sports a 120Hz refresh rate, which can reduce blurring in fast motion -- a feature that the Hisense lacks. 

Meanwhile, Amazon's Fire TV Omni offers its own distinctive feature: It doesn't require a remote at all, though one is included. The Omni comes with its own built-in, far-field mic, meaning that it works like an Echo speaker and can be completely controlled through voice commands alone. 

Of course, you can always add an Amazon Fire Stick to any TV. For example, you could buy a similarly priced non-Fire TV and add a Fire stick to get the same experience.

Correction, May 18: This story initially misstated that a feature was missing from the Hisense Fire TV.  The TV includes full-array local dimming.
