Are you ready to overreact to the latest explosive computer hardware drama?? Sure, AMD has found the root cause already (I added their latest statement to the show during editing), but when we recorded this the subject was very hot. Get it? HOT. Like Josh. He hosted, by the way. Sebastian's voice was worse than usual, and his video/audio sync was off anyway. We've got Security Scares, Rumors, Vintage news, Reviews and all that podcast host craziness to go along with it all.

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 into Gigabytes replacement for the Z690i Ultra mobo. Plus mandatory Intel Arc news (they went PRO), and the usual 'gaming quick hits' and depressing 'security corner'.Featured this week is Kent's third installment in the 'upgrading in mid-2022' blog, with further explorations of the major and minor components he chose, and why.Timestamps:00:00 Intro01:13 Food with Josh02:49 Ryzen 7000 DDR5 sweet spot?06:38 NVIDIA had a bad quarter16:57 Hackaday prize21:12 Gigabyte's Z690i Ultra replacement27:48 Intel Arc Pro A-Series GPUs30:09 Hard West 2 rides out32:51 Final Frontier Humble Bundle33:59 Netflix gaming?35:47 Quantum computing vs. Ivy Bridge40:15 Critical VMWare patch42:27 Kent's upgrade blog, part 359:32 Picks of the Week1:12:52 Outro ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
