    Podcast #763 - GDDR7 Specs, NVIDIA Says No CUDA on Other GPUs, Crucial T705 Gen5 SSD, and MORE!

    Podcast #762 - AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE Review, RX 7700 XT Price Drop, Intel's New FET, and MORE

    Josh is traveling again, Kent is back, and we have plenty to discuss. Intel CPU crashes, the RX 7900 GRE, the AT&T outage, Nvidia is the GPU cartel - it's all here in this one show!  Here us now, and believe us later.  See all the times below for a list of topics - and don't worry, Jeremy did the burger segment.

    Podcast #761 - NVIDIA's Insane AI Growth, 14900KS Imminent, Corsair A115 Air Cooler, CoolerMaster sues + MORE!

    After a couple of weeks we are back at full strength, and it will take our combined willpower to withstand the might of NVIDIA's ridiculous earnings report. We also talked about the reported listings for a 400W Core i9-14900KS, took a look at Corsair's A115 air cooler, and Josh reviewed some food.  And also you can now trade one benevolent OS vendor for another with a Windows 10 -> ChromeOS upgrade!  Plus other topics, found in the time stamps below.

    Podcast #760 - ZLUDA for CUDA on AMD Cards, XBox Intel SoC Rumor, Ryzen 9 7945HX mITX Mobo + MORE

    Josh is back, but Brett was stuck at work - so we podcasted as a trio for the second week in a row. And this time, somehow (without Brett to add stories to the list), the entire show is just over 45 minutes long. Don't despair - there's still a burger segment!

    Podcast #759: Radeon RX 7900 XT Drops to 699 USD, Ryzen 8000G Thermals, ReBAR Mod for Older PCs + MORE!

    Josh abandoned us this week to stream himself virtually attending a Flight Simulator event, so you will have to contend with a trio of cranky people as we discuss another week's PC industry news. Sorry in advance - though Jeremy did walk us through Josh's burger segment.  There's still plenty to panic over in the Security Corner, and some AI coming to Google maps - just what we needed.

Wonderful! :-) Two Thumbs Up!

The best of the best of PC hardware news and reviews. Low key, funny and informative. If you enjoy the show too, leave a review and rate it to help support PCper. I’ve listened every week for many, perhaps too many, years and frankly I’m not ashamed to say I play replay prior episodes. It’s the podcast I look forward to most each week. Hopefully it will continue into the infinite universe and radiate to other planets so interstellar life can enjoy it too.
