PC Perspective Podcast

We are on the brink of history, as next podcast will be number 800. It's been a long ride, with our first show way back in 2007... Don't worry, this isn't goodbye. This is a podcast. A podcast about computer stuff. (And burgers.)  Be prepared for D-Link whipping, massive NVME cooling, and of course, special guest Lara Croft.   00:00 Intro 02:58 Food with Josh 04:55 Intel is sorry about the Arrow L...

Do you like product review coverage for products that are sold out and currently on eBay for hundreds of dollars more? Perfect! We talk about the 9800X3D a lot on this show, and Josh was right about it selling out (and Sebastian was WRONG WRONG WRONG). But also ... GTA5 sales (why not?), Recall Recall, Windows 10 continued support and please please, won't you use Bing? Recorded November 6, 2024 00...

Welcome to the creepiest PC hardware podcast on the net, and that's on a NORMAL week. We've got Intel Core Ultra, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Windows 24H2 ... but will we surpass our own standard with this VERY SPECIAL Halloween episode? You will have to watch to find out... Skip to 31:35 for the official Ryzen 7 9800X3D announcement (recorded on October 31) Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 04:02 Food with Josh 13:56...

What a week. So much exciting news to cover, including the extremely well-received new Intel Core Ultra desktop processors! Does sarcasm evident? Anyhow, we received them, too, but without a motherboard, so not much tested happened before this launch.  No worries, we're getting a board, and have turned off our AI assistants.  Or have we? Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:23 Food with Josh 04:10 Observing...

We've got Intel and AMD teaming up, Click2Cancel making waves, so much ARM discussion where it wasn't meant to be, Windows 11 BSODs (suprise!), a bunch of X86 discussion and a terrible amount of security nightmares!  Should be fun, take a listen!  00:00 Intro 03:07 Food with Josh 05:22 Intel and AMD team up for the good of x86 08:59 The x86 discussion shifts to Arm at this point 10:18 Arm discussi...

It was an AMD-heavy show last week, so how about an IntelCast? (Don't worry, there's a lot of non-Intel content - plus at least one of us is a card-carrying member of Team Red).  So much (in)Security too: your air-gap is pathetic, Qualcomm zero-day, Linux malware, and DDoS to the max. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:52 Food with Josh 04:08 Intel Core Ultra desktop processor announcement 24:33 Another m...

We actually do talk about more than just AMD this week. Plus, we stray from the point a lot while talking about things like dual screen laptops, HP AI infused printers, if maybe you should buy a used RTX 2080ti.  All in good fun. 00:00 Intro 02:30 Food with Josh 04:17 AMD Ryzen update (105W mode official, etc.) 06:31 The new X870 motherboards are here 10:11 Some more 9000X3D rumors 12:05 Latest Ra...

We're back on the air with the Intel Ultra 200V, keeping offline Office alive, OpenAI manipulations, and some sweet reviews of Fractal gear like their new Era 2 mITX case and their Refine chair.  Very mindful.  Enjoy the "Caaash" segment too as we smash our way through the news. 00:00 Intro 02:01 Unnecessarily weighing in on the Panels app controversy 04:22 Food with Josh (FREE edition) 07:16 Qual...

Intel does "fabulous" after seperating, what does MS do after Crowdstrike, after early Threadrippers, after the 4090, and after better AGESA for Ryzen 9000. We get after it this episode, enjoy! 00:00 Intro 01:43 Food with Josh 02:51 Intel spins off fab into separate foundry company 10:24 New AGESA improves Ryzen 9000 inter-core latency 17:42 Threadripper 1000 and 2000 CPUs dropped from Ryzen Maste...

Welcome to the podcast where Josh explains how AMD has the most popular midrange GPU on the market, based on sales from one retailer in Germany in Q1 2024.  Other then that, we've got over 12" of penetration, Audible AI, Ford marketing, Z890 defaults and so much more! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:46 Food with Josh 03:00 AMD shifting their GPU strategy (with extended discussion) 22:49 PS5 Pro first w...

Intel Core Ultra 200V:  Worlds best integrated GPU!?  AMD Ryzen with more performance improvements, and 105W is the power draw for new top rated Ryzen parts.  So much more in the timestamps below. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:33 Food with Josh 03:42 AMD will reportedly raise 65W Ryzen 9000 TDPs to 105W 05:52 That Windows Update Ryzen boost might be unrealistic (via Hardware Canucks) 11:44 Highly ski...

No, Allyn wasn't on the show this week. We just used that 100% authentic photo of him for the thumbnail. But we did discuss the buckets of cash that Nvidia is rolling in, free AMD CPU performance, and QR code hygiene!  All that, and so much more below ... Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:29 Food with Josh 06:28 NVIDIA's billions 16:01 Free Ryzen performance boost 20:39 RDNA 4 rumors 30:31 An extra 8-pin...

Full crew in the house tonight for all kinds of tech talk with the usual amount of off-topic banter.  It's what you deserve.  Check the full list of topics below.  Real quick though ... Ryzen 9000 testing:  You're holding it wrong.  Windows 11 installs on non-TPM machines:  Stop that.  Sonos:  Failing.  ARM:  Gaming GPUs.  And when is a 4070 not really the 4070? 00:00 Intro 02:06 Food with Josh 04...

This episode is just over an hour, and probably a lot more exciting than the Ryzen 9000 launch, itself. Plus Josh had a really messy looking burger. You can't lose. We've got Intel microcode, AMD Ryzen 9k, when is an RTX 4070 a bit less ... it's a tight show.  Recorded August 14, 2024. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:27 Ryzen 9900X and 9950X performance 22:28 No sign of new (rumored) RX 7000 SKUs 24:04...

This was a long show. Be warned! We didn't even get to (in)Security Corner until after the one hour mark! But it's so worth it!  More Crowdstrike, more Intel sadness, even the Logitech mouse-as-a-service thing.  Psst - Apple still does not like Nvidia. Recorded August 7, 2024. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:45 Food with Josh 03:54 New Ryzen 5 and 7 coverage - the impact of 65W 19:39 Intel's financial...

Four of us gathered to discuss another week in PC hardware and software, and while Jeremy was absent (again) and Josh didn't have a burger (again), the podcast was still a podcast, and that probably means something.  AMD is touching 6Ghz, Intel is not OK, Cybertruck is a PC, and we've got so much financial news on AMD and ARM...punch it Chewy! Recorded July 31, 2024. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 04:30...

Only three of us podcasted this week, and there was an annoying "room mic" sound to deal with from a certain host, but other than that it was an okay-ish show if you like these sorts of things, am I right? AMD is ascending, Intel is unstable, and the 7800X3D is still the king. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:13 CrowdStrike 09:20 Intel provides update on CPU instability 20:22 AMD is recalling their init...

Enjoy this podcast, recorded on July 17 - you know, before the CloudStrike thing happened. Don't worry, we will talk about that next week. There is so much "air" in this show, you'll know it when you feel it.  Game servers switching away from Intel now, the Xbox has the cheekiest controller going.  So much more below, enjoy! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:34 Food with...Jeremy? 05:57 Kent's big air co...

This show is one hour. Wait. That should say "this show is one hour THAT YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS". We've got all kinds of things, check out the topics below! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:23 Food with Josh 03:25 HP gives up - might actually want to sell printers 05:23 AMD NTBC 08:21 AMD now has better brand recognition than Intel? 10:02 Everything is bigger on the Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 16:16 Ryzen k...

It took a couple of days to get to the editing and posting (due to the July 4 holiday) but the wait will be 100% worth it, we assure you. Josh even had a burger.  Including Z890, Gigabit forever, Win10 death and all your content belong to AI now. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:35 Food with Josh 03:51 Intel Z890 chipset leak 05:21 When will the industry stop using Gigabit? 09:38 More on the upcoming In...

You will be pleased to learn that we did indeed get together on Wednesday night (at 10 Eastern) to podcast this week. Here is the edited version of that podcast recording session.  Within you find side-quests, insights, food, camera lens talk - and tech.  Lots of tech talk on such things like Microsoft making terrible decisions, bad security theater, and idle data.  Join us. Timestamps: 00:00 Intr...

Five of us entered, but only one survived. This is one episode you won't want to miss! In addition to all that, we discussed SFF specs, Copilot updates, the Fractal Mood, ARM speculative execution, and Intel CPU stability! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:34 Food with Josh 03:00 We react to Snapdragon X Elite reviews 10:17 Intel issues microcode fix for 13th/14th Gen stability issues 16:02 NVIDIA's new...

Brett was absent this week, but we found a way to podcast anyway. And what a memorable podcast it was. How many times can we celebrate lucky number 777? Just once, it seems. And that is undeniable - like the Billy Dee Williams (by Avon) fragrance for men, "Undeniable". Please find the usual Windows security scares, thoughts on Starfield, Adobe finally makes users upset, RTX50 rumors and so much mo...

This week we have a positive attitude, Josh had a burger, and everyone is happy (and other lies).  Watch to catch up on CoPilot issues (we told you so!), Intel and AMD socket longevity, Windows 10 won't die and we miss Napster. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:36 Food with Josh 03:09 AMD Ryzen 9000 Series announcement 10:55 New X870 and X870E chipsets 17:18 Socket AM5 longevity 19:56 AMD also introduced...

Josh OLED wipe included at no extra charge.  So much Arm coverage, even with Nvidia.  There's even some good Security news! 00:00 Intro 01:41 Josh's home office update 02:50 Burger of the Week 04:40 Arm Tech Days coverage from Josh 26:12 NVIDIA reportedly prepping an Arm PC chip 29:35 A long response to a viewer question about OLED monitor burn-in 39:51 Microsoft DirectSR is here - if you have Win...
