PC Perspective Podcast

We are back after a week off (mostly spent traveling to the AMD event), and can finally talk about Radeon RX 7000 Series specs and pricing, and try to extrapolate (very popular word these days) performance. In fact, I think Josh may have over-extrapolated himself, but he will recover soon. We also talked about other stuff, as Brett tried to make it more balanced, in spite of my best efforts. Full...

This week we talk about Intel Core i9-13900K performance and power, dip our toes into the emerging RTX 4090 power adapter discussion (the night before Igor's Lab released a more definitive look at the problem), and chat about NVIDIA's RTX 4080 12GB un-launching.  Plus one more hurrah for Window 10 updates, updates for Display Port and Thunderbolt (and even our old friend AIDA64!).   We also talked...

Recorded October 12, 2022. You know, a couple of days before NVIDIA unlaunched the RTX 4080 12GB. Guess we'll talk about that NEXT week. On this day, we conversed about the RTX 4090's performance, talked about how thermal paste buildup can affect your life, looked at pictures of Intel's massive new NUC Extreme, and Kent reviewed the Thermaltake The Tower 500 (yes it is called "The Tower") Snow (as...

We're back after a week off - and there's been a ton of news in the meantime. Prepare yourself for some very long form content as we talk about AMD Ryzen 7000 for half an hour, and later talk about NVIDIA's RTX 40 Series for nearly as long. Then there's Intel 13th gen, ARM, EVGA breakupPlus a lot of other stuff. It's in the time stamps below.  Enjoy! 00:00 Intro 02:27 Food with Josh 04:06 30 minut...

Catch those final 4090 series rumors, revel in the 50% off current GPU pricing, lament at the Windows 11 beta-ness of it all.  Cry at the security vulnerabilities and jump with joy for gaming news.  It's all here.  For you.  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:22 Food with Josh (and Corrine) 04:27 One more RTX 4090 rumor segment before GTC 13:07 GPUs now half of their inflated peak pricing 15:09 AMD admits...

AMD 670E pricing is extreme alright, but so is their mobile CPU naming conventions?  This is also the audio review show you never knew you wanted, enjoy that.  Apple held some sort of iPhone event.  And USB4v2 is so well named.  Intel Arc news of course too. Who wants subjective audio reviews? How about THREE of them, in a row!! Ok, skip all that if you want to, but the first half of the show is n...

AMD Ryzen 7000 and AM5 - All the things.  Rumors on the RTX 4070, ARC GPU on Intel, Apple does "Right to Repair" ... uh huh.  Gaming updates for System Shock and Razer mice. Security issues for 80,000 devices, how fun! This week the hardware talk got so hot that Jeremy's system overheated. Don't worry, he took off the side panel and pointed a box fan at it (a true story), and we were able to make...

RTX 4080 power projections and rumors, ASUS AM5 board updates and recall, new VESA ClearMR standards, Homekit is good, Hyundais get hacked, and Nvidia made less money.  V-Color DDR5-6600 review and much more.

This week is very heavy on product reviews, though we do begin with our traditional Intel Arc news - and this time there's a retail card available right here in the USA! As if this isn't enough to excite you into a frenzy, AMD is announcing a livestream in which they will announce new CPUs that you can eventually buy at a later date! Timestamps 00:00 Intro 02:02 Retail Intel Arc A380 card availabl...

It's another week, and another PCPer podcast! Recorded August 10, 2022. News is first, and while it may be mid-August of 2022, NVIDIA had a bad quarter in Q2 2023 already. Not the first thing we'd do if time travel was realized, but it takes all kinds. We also discuss reports of the AMD Ryzen 7000 DDR5 sweet spot, look at some re-purposed retro tech from the 2022 Hackaday Prize winners, and look i...

We explore another week of tech news, including about 17 straight minutes of Intel and AMD Q2 financial analysis from Josh. If that isn't stimulating enough for you we also talk about upcoming CPU launches, a mandatory look at Intel Arc (new drivers this time), a possible Winamp scam, and the new be quiet! Pure Base 500 FX case - among other topics listed below. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:53 Food...

Josh took himself out to a ballgame, so we podcasted without him. But that doesn't mean you won't see some OG PCPer faces, if you listen to at least the 24-ish minute mark. Heck, you might as well watch to 26 min, as well. Maybe even to the end. Enjoy the Z690 build series, GPU sales, gaming updates and security sadness! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:52 Where's Josh? 02:01 Game On AMD sale 05:38 New...

Kent gives us a personal rig build update, we take a look at the full Intel ARC lineup as it's known now, then a review of the EPOS H3PRO Headset, there's plenty of GPU pricing discussion, with gaming quick hits and security issues!  Yeah!   So we did it again. Recorded a podcast on a Wednesday night, it's just over an hour of tech talk (and burger of the week), so get comfortable. Josh-level comf...

We are back at it YET AGAIN, podcasting about another week's worth of PC hardware and software news. It's the kind of content you can only find in a few thousand other places, so you really don't want to miss this one. Note: we recorded this BEFORE the Gamers Nexus video on Arc graphics with Tom (and Ryan) from Intel was published. You can watch that here: https://youtu.be/AN8ZAf15DrM And no, it d...

Intel A380 GPU Preview, More X3D processors?, PCIe Gen 5 NVMe drives and more!  Brett wasn't here tonight, secret mission and all that.  We are fans of BeQuiet! fans, game updates and someone wants to monetize your lock screen!

It may seem like the year is half over already (because it is), but things are just starting to heat up (because it's summer). And if you thought Intel's Arc A380 was hot, then get a load of NVIDIA's GTX 1630! You will barely be able to contain yourself.  But you will be able to contain your new computer gear in a Fractal case POP! Check out the timestamps below! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:42 Burg...

Apple M2 specs and Ryzen 7000 layout and delidded, Intel ARC tested, and our review of the Phanteks G360A.  Free games from Amazon, satellite hacking, and fun observations from the Steam hardware survey. Recorded the night before AMD announced all the things. Oh well, there's always next week. Anyway, we made it to 680. What's next?! Oh yeah. 681. But not before we talked about the following thing...

AMD Ryzen 7000 TDP's on AM5, Lian Li O11D MINI Case Review, are GPUs returning to MSRP?  Old tech forever?  Amiga's and NASA ingenuity, Intel Falcon Shores XPU, Zero day vuln in Microsoft Office and DDR4 on Z690. It's been a week, I'll tell ya. And that can only mean one thing: it's time once again for four (or five, in this case) people to attempt not to talk over one another in a virtual hangout...

The PCPer hardware leaderboard returns! Ryzen 7000 news, Nvidia financials, and the Framework laptop actually appears upgradable, which is nice?  There's even ARGB, so avert your eyes?  Recorded before AMD knew what the TDP and PPT of Ryzen 7000 actually is. Topics in the list below. Watch the JoshTekk XFX MERC 319 RX 6800 XT review here: https://youtu.be/I7EC_H-BrJ0 #OgelBatter64 Timestamps: 00:0...

Another podcast has been "successfully" recorded, edited, and uploaded. Topics in the list below. AMD has a very healthy X86 market share now, not just in servers.  There have been some fast and loose claims around adaptive sync monitors so far, bluetooth hack gets more air time for remote hacking, the RX 6650 XT might get the nod for most improved "50" version, and more! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 0...

Fresh review for the RX 6750 XT, Intel announces 12th gen Core HX CPUs, Tesla recalls 130k vehicles, Nvidia got crypto issues but does go open source!  We gathered for two hours over the internet, and this is what remains. Also, if you watch closely, you might hear a wild Malventano. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:20 Burger of the Week 02:26 AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT (Sapphire NITRO+) Review 20:39 Intel p...

Five older guys attempt not to yell over each other for an hour and thirteen minutes.  Plus AMD is had a great year, Edge includes a VPN of sorts, CAS28 DDR5, Intel buys SIRU, Amazon Echo listens because it cares, Radeon 6X50 rumors, and write once SSDs!  Plus more, as usual.
