Podcast #728 - Intel Discontinues Arc A770 Card, Core Desktop Rebrand, AI Ruins Search, Ultra CPUs and MORE Jun 23, 2023

No, Arc isn't EOL - just the flagship card made by Intel. It doesn't bode well, as Battlemage seems pretty far away, and the A770 seems to have run its course with A750 getting all of Intel's marketing attention lately.

Beyond that, Intel decided to re-brand their desktop CPUs starting with the next generation Core, and Ultra is added to the mix to keep you on your toes. Also, other topics (in the list below). FYI, Josh was traveling, so he was absent this week - but don't worry, Kent stepped up with his own burger review. We've got the usual security scares (router and S3 hacks) and gaming updates within (Steam, EA, and deals!)

Are you ready to overreact to the latest explosive computer hardware drama?? Sure, AMD has found the root cause already (I added their latest statement to the show during editing), but when we recorded this the subject was very hot. Get it? HOT. Like Josh. He hosted, by the way. Sebastian's voice was worse than usual, and his video/audio sync was off anyway.

Plus mandatory Intel Arc news (they went PRO), and the usual 'gaming quick hits' and depressing 'security corner'.

Podcast #687 - AMD Discounts, Arc A750 Showcase, Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master, and MORE Jul 30, 2022

Josh took himself out to a ballgame, so we podcasted without him. But that doesn't mean you won't see some OG PCPer faces, if you listen to at least the 24-ish minute mark. Heck, you might as well watch to 26 min, as well. Maybe even to the end.

Enjoy the Z690 build series, GPU sales, gaming updates and security sadness!

Podcast #685 - Core i9-13900K Tested Early, Bluetooth Audio Improving, PC Sales Decline, ARC 750 GPU + MORE! Jul 17, 2022

We are back at it YET AGAIN, podcasting about another week's worth of PC hardware and software news. It's the kind of content you can only find in a few thousand other places, so you really don't want to miss this one.

Note: we recorded this BEFORE the Gamers Nexus video on Arc graphics with Tom (and Ryan) from Intel was published. You can watch that here: https://youtu.be/AN8ZAf15DrM

And no, it didn't end up being "50 min and 36 sec" after all. Somehow the running time ballooned up to a whopping 50 minutes and 39 seconds between rendering and uploading. Where did the extra 3 seconds come from? ALIENS. (Probably.)
