IoT scares me so much. There ways of hacking it. So many devices that are so vulnerable. Thank god I did my dissertation on IoT security and challenges. People need to realise your data can be easily obtained.

I'm hopeful that we'll see stuff like Kaby Lake G and the 2700u, oh and probably some interesting monitors.

The R7 2700, 2700X and 2800X would be more exciting I'd say. And yeah, the Kaby Lake G would be pretty sweet to finally get some proper numbers on (subtract 30% for non-gaming tasks lel)

I just want to see better and cheaper motherboards for Ryzen, as well as new and exciting PC cases.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

You mean Zen+ or w/e?

Yep. It's supposed to launch in Q1 with expected IPC gains.

no ipc gains, but clock speed increases (10%), maybe (not confirmed at all ) a better imc

Regarding smart cities, does this mean that you would need to be connected to the 4/5 g the entire time and that everything would require its own application (yayy, just few dozen applications for each part of the city).

Isn't the entire concept of IoT silly?Why would home appliances need to be connected to the internet (doesn't some cryptocurrency depend heavily on IoT devices?)?

I just want for someone to announce the mainstream replacement for Lithium Ion batteries like Graphene nanotechnology batteries. Modern Lithium Ion batteries are great but just like AHCI that was succeeded by NVME, it needs a refresh that’s better and safer. Even for just a graphene battery bank that can store 2000 mAh on a smaller form factor would be very nice. 

 

But then this is just me wishful thinking. 5G is exciting but I doubt I’d see that rolled out to us when our crony duopolist wireless carriers still can’t be bothered to roll out 20x20 MHz LTE-Advanced which is the true 4G. ?

There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

More variations of good HDR gaming monitors and hopefully not all ultra wide and curved. 

As far as strong year for PC gaming, hopefully components will have good prices. But I guess that will take some time so we'll see.

  1. HDR monitors galore
  2. Z-nand SSD's?
  3. Finally new DDR modules at lower prices
  4. Finally new SSD's at lower prices (nvme)
  5. More OLED stuff, including monitors (though pointless)
  6. µLED panels from Samsung

Watching Intel have competition is like watching a headless chicken trying to get out of a mine field

I’m hoping for more Ruben Mobile PCs to be announced. It completely destroys iGPUs on Intel’s side.

Who needs fancy graphics and high resolutions when you can get a 60 FPS frame rate on iGPUs?

VR/AR has always been over-hyped for what it offers. It's been on the precipice for years and it's gotten no traction at a reasonable level. 

One of the huge problems VR has, is that for most games/experiences, racing and flight sims aside, is it needs a lot of free space to use properly. Most people living in a densely populated country and/or city aren't going to have the space to utilize it, and if they wish to acquire the space the cost will dwarf the cost of the hardware.

Yeah, that's what it stands for. Do you know what it is?

It's a forum for those who have ideas and imerging tech, hoping that it'll be bought by a larger company. Or, the larger companies can showcase future technology to others. It's for business, not consumer. It was only in the last few years the general public even started attending.

An electronic device that's marketed to Joe Blow is called a consumer electronic. Hence Consumer Electronics Show. ;)

CES is the world's gathering place for all those who thrive on the business of consumer technologies. It has served as the proving ground for innovators and breakthrough technologies for 50 years — the global stage where next-generation innovations are introduced to the marketplace. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), it attracts the world's business leaders and pioneering thinkers.

I'm not even surprised, CES isn't for consumers even though C stands for Consumer, what a beautiful world we live in...xD

So we have:

  1. Internet of Things
  2. More Internet of Things
  3. Even more Internet of Things
  4. Anticipation of a wireless technology leap for 5G (didn't we already get our hopes up once before?)
  5. Virtual Reality dragging along
  6. Iterative improvements for PC gaming
  7. An icing of more Internet of Things

Anyone else find this list of things to be somewhat disappointing? IoT seems to be getting a boatload of attention, and I'm scratching my head as to why the industry thinks that's warranted. Even AR/VR seem to be more interesting for the common consumer than smart fridges and whatnot.

Its just a shame none of the IoT companies seem to have anybody in the least bit competent working in the security departments.

 

Given how bad IoT devices in the home are in security terms seeing this emphasis on public IoT devices is more than a little concerning.

Main Rig:-

Ryzen 7 3800X | Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming | 16GB Team Group Dark Pro 3600Mhz | Corsair MP600 1TB PCIe Gen 4 | Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse | Corsair H115i Platinum | WD Black 1TB | WD Green 4TB | EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W | Asus TUF GT501 | Samsung C27HG70 1440p 144hz HDR FreeSync 2 | Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS |

 

Server:-

Intel NUC running Server 2019 + Synology DSM218+ with 2 x 4TB Toshiba NAS Ready HDDs (RAID0)
