Podcast #674 - AM5 DDR5 Only? Harvesting Chips from Washers, CAMM RAM, DDR5 Review, Intel Graphics + MORE! Apr 29, 2022

Show notes

It's that time again! Time to enjoy a podcast recorded just days ago and now presented in its edited state with fewer Shatnerian pauses. But that's the way you like it.

We've got RAM reviews, what-the-Dell RAM, AM5 DDR5 RAM only, washing machines being stripped of chips and hot fresh graphics research from Intel! Move over Bethesda launcher, get on Steam ... but also GOG is the best game launcher anyway.

To commemorate "4/20", which of course means the first day of official Ryzen 7 5800X3D availability on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, we recorded a podcast. We also took a look at a very small gaming desktop from Falcon Northwest built around this new AMD processor.

2nm process from TSMC, the C64 is 40 years old, 12 gen Intel delidding tool, iOS app tracking and Nvidia AD102 preview specs. Enjoy!
