PC Perspective Podcast

We won't be podcasting next week, so we encourage you to watch this week's episode repeatedly until we return. We've got SanDisk Extreme Pro with a whole-lotta failures, Intel Arc updates!, GeForce Five-Oh rumors, Gaming industry layoffs and so much more. 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.

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...

We decided to podcast yet again this week because, honestly, you demand it (you know who you are). The show must go on, and we had a lot to talk about this week - and sometimes we even sounded halfway intelligent! Like when we talked about the new Radeon cards, which bring the promise of $450+ midrange cards to AMD buyers. And we looked at the very compact - and ridiculously well-equipped - FragBo...

Do you like piña coladas, and getting caught in protracted discussions about DLSS 3.5 and NVIDIA quarterly financials? And that's just the FIRST HALF HOUR. You won't want to miss a single second of this episode. Also, there weren't any piña coladas. Sorry.  But there would have been if you had brought your own.  There is quite a lot of monitor discussion, right down to the Picks-of-the-Week(tm). ...

Who would have guessed it? We gathered and we made podcast history, AGAIN. An hour (or more!) of content, just ready to be watched, liked, subscribed. Topics include:  Dell doesn't like getting caught, the Intel Arc A750 reviewed, Inception fix is going be a bummer, and security scares galore!  Enjoy! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:23 Food with Josh 03:25 96-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX leak...

We're back with a podcast that's BIGGER and possibly BETTER than ever before. We talk about the latest news and rumors, and Kent goes absolutely crazy in his quest to tame the thermals from his Core i9-13900KS.  Security Corner scares with Inception and Downfall, Bots and Captcha, plus Gaming Quick Hits with deals and server shutdowns. Topics in the list below. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 01:29 Josh ma...

Podcast history has been made. The first and ONLY PC Perspective podcast number 734 has been recorded, edited, and uploaded.

Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:21 Food with Josh 02:40 AMD announces X3D for laptops 09:53 AMD confir...

When it came time to make an episode, we did this.  Solidigm blesses us with gigantic SSDs now, Futurama is back, the future of Windows is bloatware, and AMD finally offers a Phoenix driver.  Plus security scares with Mikrotik and Gigabyte and let's not leave out Ubuntu this time, eh?  Of course our non-stop coverage of everything Intel ARC continues unabated.  Enjoy! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:35...

This week we gather yet again for an unforgettable hour. An hour you will cherish forever. Or, just skip around using the time stamps. We can't stop you.  Take in the Corsair DROP acquisition, the Asus Intel NUC acquisition, Linux acquiring marketshare, or the RTX 4060 Ti not acquiring any reviews.  Enjoy. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:52 Food with Josh 02:39 ASUS agrees to terms to take NUC from Int...

Post-July 4th holiday here in the USA and everyone has all of their fingers. Which enables some of us to use clicky keyboards during the podcast recording! What could be more perfect. And just look at that list of topics.  Where's AMD HYPR-RX AMD?  Where's your Microcenter?  And where's that new power connector to replace 12VHPWR already? Timestamps: 00:00 Pre-roll and Intro 00:53 Food with Josh 0...

We talk at some length about the RTX 4060 and competing products that offer a better value right now, plus other stuff like so much bad news in Security, Windows in the Clouds, and AMD anti-DLSS drama!  See the list of topics in the time stamps below.

No, Arc isn't EOL - just the flagship card made by Intel. It doesn't bode well, as Battlemage seems pretty far away, and the A770 seems to have run its course with A750 getting all of Intel's marketing attention lately. Beyond that, Intel decided to re-brand their desktop CPUs starting with the next generation Core, and Ultra is added to the mix to keep you on your toes. Also, other topics (in the...

It was another week, and that means more pcper podcast goodness. Josh had his very, very old headset and a bad laptop sound card on the road with him, Kent was back again, with a fab case review and we talked about a lot of other tech and newsy stuff.  We even had Clippy. 00:00 Prologue and Intro 02:38 Burger of the Week 04:26 RTX 4060 (non-Ti) release date moves up 09:40 AMD's EPYC Bargamo CPUs 1...

It's been another week, and that means another PCPer podcast. Good thing Josh had another tantalizing burger, because he needed his strength to talk for over an hour about the latest in PC hardware and software. But let's not bury the lede, as the Fractal Terra is the star of the show in this episode, and Kent took some amazing photos (the review begins at 40:31 ). Full list of subjects in the tim...

Allyn Malventano joins us for a very special (and storage-centric) episode! We talk about some of the things at Computex that captured our interest, and have an extended discussion about the promise of DirectStorage and how it could solve the GPU VRAM problem (if anyone actually implements it beyond that one game). Plus Jeremy has a fancy new desk to talk about, Josh reviews another racing wheel s...
