Podcast #851 - CES 2026 Highlights - Ryzen 9850X3D & 9950X3D2, DLSS 4.5, MSI LIGHTNING, Reboot, Moza and MORE

What if we told you that CES did not feature any new GPUs? But it did feature more frames! MSI with LIGHTNING and GPU safeguard, Phison's new controller, and that wily AMD with new Ryzen 7 9850X3D (and confirmed Ryzen 9 9950X3D2) - whee! Remember the Reboot computer generated cartoon? Remember D-Link Routers and Zero Days? Remember Intel? It's all here!

That and everything old is new again with Old GPUs and CPUs coming back .. because RAM.
