PC Perspective Podcast

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...

Josh returns this week, and of course there are financials to discuss (NVIDIA is making insane money right now), plus Josh's latest burger, Josh's renovated home office, and other Josh-related content.  Where are Josh's boxes, what's in Josh's closet, what are Josh's floors made of, and who handled his 49" monitor while he was away. Oh, and we also did a show about this week in tech ... those topi...

While Josh might not have been with us, we certainly did mention him.  In mostly good ways.  All this while we discussed the latest AMD 8000 F-Series, Dell XPS with AMD and Snapdragon CPUs, zero day exploits for DLink routers, and even self driving vehicle hacks.  More in the list below. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:25 AMD launches Ryzen 8000 F-Series processors 06:05 AMD Ryzen coming to Dell XPS la...

We recorded it early this week, due to some scheduling issues, but we still made a podcast that will live on forever as one of the greatest ever made. If you don't have high standards.  Do take the time to enjoy the discussion on generous Hackers and that your VPN probably sucks.  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:23 Food with Josh 05:13 Intel's baseline profile evolves into Intel Default Settings 13:38...

What's more colorful than a $100 RGB mousepad? The personalities of the PCPer podcast crew, of course!  Enjoy the banter and conversations we had between each other and our audience.  Tune in and take part next week! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:56 Food with Josh 03:48 An extremely long segment on Intel and AMD's latest quarterly earnings 35:56 Intel responds to Core i9 instability issue 42:55 Windo...

Podcast 770 is totally not a re-branded Podcast 680. It may have the same CUDA core count, but the memory is clocked slightly higher. Also, this one has a [REDACTED] that you won't want to miss! Includes Cisco Firewalls on Fire, and a really cracking story on cracking Bcrypt!  (plus use a longer password!) Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:12 Food with Josh 05:21 A very long discussion about Intel 13th a...

"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! Timestamps:...

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! Recorded April 3, 2024. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:09 Food with Josh 02:59 Intel Foundry lost 7 billion USD last year 12:03 TSMC assessing...

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.

Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:01 Food with Josh 03:14 AMD announced FSR 3.1 at GDC 08:10 Radeon 7900 GRE gets memory OC unlocked 12:05 China bans AMD, Intel, and Window...

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). Recorded March 20, 2024. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:26 Food with Josh 02:54 NVID...

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).
