PC Perspective Podcast

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. Recorded March 6, 2024. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:19 Food with Josh 02:51 GDDR7 spec published - it's fast 06:31 Samsung reported planning to market 3nm as "2nm" 10:37 NVIDIA...

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. Recorded February 28, 2024. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:32 Food with Josh via Jerem...

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 upg...

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! Recorded February 14, 2024. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:29 Food with Josh 04:02 ZLUDA - an AMD funded drop-in CUDA implementation? 10:44 NVI...

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. Recorded Fe...

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 January 31, 2024 using digital reco...

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. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:37 Food with Josh 04:02 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER launch revi...

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! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:36 Food...

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 burg...

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...

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...

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! Recorded December 13, 2023. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:02 Food with Josh 02:55 AMD Threadripper OC blows hidden fuse 06:11 TSMC talks 1.4nm 15...

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. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro...

In this special JoshTekk episode, we return from our Thanksgiving break with just over an hour of some of the best podcasting you'll ever experience in your life. Don't believe it?

We of course talked about several other topics, and provide you with a handy index below. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:37 Food with Josh 04:06 Int...

Ryan may not be back this week, but I'm sure viewers won't tune out in droves. Right? Right?? Hello??? No one left, eh? Well, we did a podcast anyway. So much ARM, too much for ARC, and AMD Polaris / Vega is forsaken.  All that and more in the subjects below. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:03 Burger of the Week 04:29 Arc News: Get your $1949 A770-equipped Alienware today! 07:19 AMD begins retirement o...

Ryan is back! At least, this week. As a guest. But he's BACK, darn it. We talked about stuff. M3. Qualcomm.  ARM.  So much financial. More topics in the time stamps below.

It was another week of news, rumors, game releases, four-year-old GPUs becoming irrelevant thanks to Mesh Shader support requirements, the industry freaking out about arm64 and declaring the death of x86, and other things. So many security fails to wedge into 1 show and then we flavor the cast with a Loupedeck review.   Topics below! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:16 Food with Josh 05:38 NVIDIA (and A...

Words flow from us at an alarming rate, but be not afraid; we are the harbingers of semi-literate PC hardware and software discussion. Also, burgers. In this episode, we discuss the VERY EXCITING Intel 14th Gen launch, look at a very fancy Falcon Northwest Talon desktop equipped with one of these processors, and eventually talk about AMD un-launching Anti-Lag+ after it caused some mildly inconveni...

What is fifty-three minutes in time, and yet timeless? This episode of the PCPer podcast, of course! Yes, we made Podcast History (tm) once again this week, and did it in just under an hour. Listen again and again, savoring every moment. We can't stop you.  Enjoy the Arc, The VBScript, and the Dark Rock within. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:11 Josh did not have a burger 04:14 Intel launches Arc A580...

It might appear to be a lighter news week, but we still managed to talk for well over an hour, even after liberal editing.   We've got RGB, Pi, and Arc news of course, plus FSR and some fast and interesting portable storage. Full topic list in the time stamps below! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:57 Burger of the Week 03:59 Arc A580 may actually be released soon 05:50 Radeon 7900 XTX and XT price drop...

Ryan left Intel! What does this mean for PC Perspective?? Nothing, actually. Except that we get to pontificate about Ryan's future. Don't worry, we'll ask him to visit soon. It will be more interesting when he can tell us where he's going. We also talked about Scott "Jebaited" Herkelman's pending departure from AMD. So many moves in the PC hardware industry, eh?? Oh, and you won't want to miss our...

The fab five are back at it again. Well, maybe not "fab" in the traditional sense, or even in the silicon sense. But we recorded a podcast and talked about various things anyway. Please consult the list below.  It includes the usual security theater, gaming bits, and even a ROG Strix keyboard review for those of you that swing that way! Recorded September 20, 2023. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:10 Bu...

We present for your approval just over one hour of hardware and gaming banter, from a personal computer perspective. Also we talked about iPhone stuff. Some of us are sorry about that.  Topical topics include Starfield, the lack of RX 7800 XT's, WiFi 7 and of course the Atari 2600. 00:00 Intro 00:51 Food with Josh 02:30 Starfield is officially getting DLSS 11:05 It's Apple season so we talk about...

Are you ready for a podcast filled with verbose discussion interrupted by digressions into random topics? You've come to the right place!  We've got Security nightmares, Gaming updates, Starfield lunacy, regular lunacy, Intel Arc news and even Usenet! 00:00 Intro 01:41 Food with Josh 03:18 Radeon review - take one (with odd CPU cooler digression) 05:11 The actual Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT r...
