PC Perspective Podcast

Are you insecure at any speed?  So why not get your dose of tech news and reviews here with us and relax. Let the our dulcet tech tones wash over you with the bits of news that caught our attention this week.  Hear why you had better get yer AMD 6000 series while you can and about that new 50w Nvidia GPU, plus Fallout talk and our review of the Eazeye Radiant LCD Touchscreen Monitor.  More below.

"We've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Processors effectively on fire with default motherboard settings. We watched chipsets glitter in the dark near the Copper Pipe. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
- JoshTEKK Smith

Also tune in for some Star Wars gaming news, PCIe 7 is the new Hotness, and Dump It like D-Link!  More in the timestamps beeeelooooow!

We aren't too proud of this technological terror we've constructed, because the ability to record a podcast is insignificant compared to the power of the Schwartz.   Intel Foundry news, SSD pricing, a new RX 550?, TSMC is quaking, and a bevy of security scares!

You didn't ask for it, but here it is. The greatest PC Perspective podcast ever recorded on March 27, 2024. China bans things, FSR 3.1, DirectSR, and EVGA PSU wiring ... Other topics below.

Another week, and another podcast. It seems like our destiny. In the words of Darth Vader, join us, and together we can rule the galaxy as ... distant cousins? I think that's what he said. Topics below include such morsels as Nvidia GTC (feel the power) and that delidded 14900KS cpus can come that way (feel the heat).

This week we discuss AMD's new 144 Hz requirement for FreeSync certification, the "perfection" of 12GB RAM capacity, Corsair's K65 PLUS keyboard that's actually 75%, Epic gets expensive, mining with Ryzen and more topics (listed below).

We talked at length about various things, some of which were actually the topics at hand! The Apple M3, Android apps on Windows 11, and Roku agreement - or else.  See the list below for an approximation of the conversation.

Josh is traveling again, Kent is back, and we have plenty to discuss. Intel CPU crashes, the RX 7900 GRE, the AT&T outage, Nvidia is the GPU cartel - it's all here in this one show!  Here us now, and believe us later.  See all the times below for a list of topics - and don't worry, Jeremy did the burger segment.

After a couple of weeks we are back at full strength, and it will take our combined willpower to withstand the might of NVIDIA's ridiculous earnings report. We also talked about the reported listings for a 400W Core i9-14900KS, took a look at Corsair's A115 air cooler, and Josh reviewed some food.  And also you can now trade one benevolent OS vendor for another with a Windows 10 -> ChromeOS upgrade!  Plus other topics, ...

Josh is back, but Brett was stuck at work - so we podcasted as a trio for the second week in a row. And this time, somehow (without Brett to add stories to the list), the entire show is just over 45 minutes long. Don't despair - there's still a burger segment!

Josh abandoned us this week to stream himself virtually attending a Flight Simulator event, so you will have to contend with a trio of cranky people as we discuss another week's PC industry news. Sorry in advance - though Jeremy did walk us through Josh's burger segment.  There's still plenty to panic over in the Security Corner, and some AI coming to Google maps - just what we needed.

Another week, another NVIDIA SUPER launch. But this is the last one, we promise. (We hope.) You probably already know it's barely any faster than the original, but it's $200 less (in the USA anyhow) so who cares, right??
We talked about more stuff, too like why security is terrible and a cool game named "Judas".  Also, just check the time stamps below.

Recorded live in GPU City, where a mutagen spill has radically altered our minds, but somehow left our bodies unchanged...and without any ninjutsu proficiency. Oh well, at least there are two GPU launches to talk about, and you'd better believe we talked about them. RTX gets a Remaster.  Also, a burger.

We are back again this week to discuss, among other things, just how super the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER actually is. There are also some weird tales about display tech at CES, thermal pad vs. paste, more Windows LLM shenanigans, and even a new version of memtest86!  But wait!  There's some "great" security scares (and theater?) with some gaming news thrown in too!

It's CES 2024 wrap-up time, and in this by no means comprehensive look at this year's show - the podcast crew covers some highlights, including AMD's newest GPU and new additions to the Ryzen lineup, plus NVIDIA's Super cards (and changes to the RTX 40 Series lineup). Oh and several other topics like Bifurcation on a GPU, the MSI Claw, and our review of the Corsair K55 CORE, plus at least one burger.  Topics below.

It's the first podcast of the new year, and we are less than a week from CES 2024. What is in store? If we ignore the inevitable deluge of AI integration into every imaginable consumer electronic device at the show, possibly some affordable-ish graphics cards. We can only hope. Also, AMD might have some interesting Zen4/RDNA3 APUs.   Dial in some security scares and some gaming news, and boom:  we have a show.

Ho ho ho! Josh has been naughty this year, but coal is controversial so we were forced to give him all of his presents anyway. But what, you may ask, about you, the viewer? Why, this podcast is your gift! And what a precious, priceless, incredible gift it is. Go ahead - show it off. Impress your friends! Watch it again and again. It's the last show of 2023, after all...

It has all the usual twists and turns naturally, with ...

This week we gather, virtually, to discuss a wide array of topics, listed below in the time stamps. Also, Josh eats one of the messiest looking things he has documented to date.  Bye E3, 1.4nm process nodes, 20GB "evil" networking, and a DOOM'd celebration!

A picture is worth a thousand words, so a video this long must be worth about a billion. And that's how you'll feel, just watching it. Like a billion dollars.  We've got Intel Oil of Snake, Monitors so flat, Stay with Windows 10 forever, and some great LogoFails.

I have no idea what any of that means, but you can check the time stamps below for the topics under discussion.
