PC Perspective Podcast

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 launche...

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! Tim...

Another week, another negligent podcasting job. Now, before you start pointing fingers, Brett wasn't available this week, so there was no one to mention Micro Center or Apple. Also, other excuses. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is getting some air time, Intel ARC GPUs in South Korea, RX 6950 XT early listings and GDD6X memory bandwidth and our looks the some Monoprice BT headphones!   Plus hospital software...

It's another week, and this time we actually have a new graphics card release that's semi-available to buy! For $2k. And, while having the fastest hardware for PC gaming has become a hobby for only the wealthy among us, that is FINALLY changing this year, we think. We talked about this possible downward trend in GPU prices, along with other things. The list is below. 00:00 Intro 00:34 Burger of th...

It was a Wednesday like no other: a twos-day. 2/2/22. Now, we could have done an even MORE twos-day show on 2/22/22, but we didn't think that far ahead.

Are you ready for another entry-level graphics card you can't buy anywhere near MSRP? Perfect! Let the argument about availability of RTX 3050 vs. RX 6500 XT begin! Need a topic? How about, should NVIDIA have made the RTX 3050 as undesirable as the RX 6500 XT (still on shelves) to enhance product availability? Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:15 Burger of the Week 03:45 RTX 3050 review discussion 22:20...

The Intel 12th Gen equipped  Talon system from Falcon Northwest was. Also, Alder Lake is very fast. Faster than AMD?!! Everyone is saying so. It's just so hot right now. Literally. It pulls 241 watts.  The i9 looks to be a reactor in heat output, the i5 looks promising - more testing required! Plenty more chatter where that came from, enjoy!
