A handheld Xbox that's really an ROG Ally with a new Ryzen processor?? An LCD that actually NEEDS bright sunlight like a Game Boy Color??

No more misinformation - AMD finally announced their Radeon RX 9060 XT, and it turns out that reports of a $449 MSRP were greatly exaggerated. And what the heck is going on with Ryzen and EPYC right now? We have EPYC branded Ryzen desktop chips, and Ryzen branded EPYC chips for workstations (gross oversimplification)?!  Developers!

We were off last week, and somehow we STILL haven't reached Computex. So, another pre-show show, full of speculation (and speculative exploits).   With no time to spare, we talk about Epyc, RX 9060 and RX 9070's, ceramic storage and Windows 3.1 - but not in that order.Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:56 Patreon 01:55 Food with Josh 03:58 Radeon RX 9060 XT clocks and pricing 05:54 RX 9070 GRE is a product that exists 07:14 WD_Black SN8100 is reaching for the Gen5 crown 09:59 AMD goes GRADO 18:19 Asetek patent expires - AiO competition will be fierce 20:22 Win 3.1 icons are hiding inside your Windows install RIGHT NOW 25:43 Microsoft fixes boot issues with Linux/Windows dual-boot systems 27:43 Podcast sponsor NordLayer 29:14 (in)Security Corner 44:08 Gaming Quick Hits 53:59 Jeremy has gone MAD (for ARGB) 1:03:28 Picks of the Week 1:17:59 Outro ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The latest episode of the podcast features the musings of J. Hellstrom, background art by J. Hellstrom, and several segments written - in large part - by J.

Another outstanding example of what can be accomplished by sitting in front of a PC with a microphone and a camera, and chatting with other people who are also sitting in front of PCs with microphones and cameras.  Riveting as expected.  Tidbits dropped on Intel BOOSTing, Microsoft and Windows 10, Synology drives and so much more!Timestamps:00:00 Intro03:27 Food with Josh05:09 Intel 200S BOOST13:47 Stunner: Intel 18A will offer higher perf and lower power than a larger node20:16 AMD will make gaming announcements at Computex - probably 9060 XT21:16 Sapphire offering a NITRO+ version of the 9070 non-XT now (plus stock check)26:57 Synology makes a poor decision32:26 Stay on Windows 10 by moving to an enterprise version...34:04 ...so of course Microsoft is taking Office app support away from Windows 1035:05 Amazon's Starlink competitor faces production delays36:25 We complain about Windows Recall some more38:39 (in)Security Corner52:09 Gaming Quick Hits1:07:02 Picks of the Week1:18:00 Outro ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
