Podcast #712 – Ryzen 9 7950X3D Launch, RTX Video Enhancement, Mandatory Intel Arc News, Nvidia Earnings + MORE!
We recovered from the Midwest ice storm that knocked out power at podcast HQ for a few days using one weird trick, and you’ll never believe what happened next! (Recorded March 1, 2023.)
Intel Arc fresh takes, Ryzen 9 7950X3D perf talk, Nvidia financials, Microsoft asks you to stop using Chrome + security and gaming fun!
