PC Perspective Podcast

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...

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...

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).

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...
