Podcast #603 - AMD Radeon RX6000 Event Recap, RTX 3070 Review, Nvidia Reflex and MORE! Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

On the docket this evening we recap the AMD live event, and examine the details of the multiple RX 6000 GPU announcements, seemingly rivaling and topping(!) the recent performance levels set by Nvidia’s 30 series. Impressive, and we’re looking forward to testing these new cards. Swerve over to the AMD Xilinx acquisition and AMD’s great quarter – some might say it was Epyc. Har! Also in this show: Ryzen & RTX in the same laptop, it can happen with ASUS — Cyberpunk 2077 Delay!? — Nvidia Reflex isn’t talked about much yet, but it’s interesting!

Podcast #601 - Ryzen 5K is Coming! WD PCIe NVME, iPhone 12, FAAAST reviews plus way more!! Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

Tonight we discuss the upcoming Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 series and how they achieve their IPC uplift, do some educated guesses on how the Radeon 5000 GPU series will perform - minus what-ever Sebastian says about TDP's, and fawn over a screamin' fast WD PCIe 4 NVME SSD. Additionally there's some "uninterrupted" discussion on the Apple iPhone 12, complete with music and endless scrolling - very moving, don't miss. We round out the night featuring an interesting AIO from be quiet!, Samsung mobile card storage, and a Corsair KATAR gaming mouse.

You could become hungry during the hamburger sequence. Be informed, no complaints later - they will be ignored.

Show notes

This week we have another exploration of various personal computer-related topics, including a software fix for the NVIDIA capacitor drama, an alleged Ryzen 5800X performance leak, and QLC NAND invades the PCIe Gen4 SSD space.

And, as if that wasn't enough, we also chat about some very early access to the upcoming Xbox Series X console, discuss some space games, and take a first look at a secure USB drive. And probably some more stuff, but it's been a long week and who can remember everything.

Oh, we also do our world-famous picks of the week AND there may be an actual burger update this time!
