We are back after a week off (mostly spent traveling to the AMD event), and can finally talk about Radeon RX 7000 Series specs and pricing, and try to extrapolate (very popular word these days) performance. In fact, I think Josh may have over-extrapolated himself, but he will recover soon.We also talked about other stuff, as Brett tried to make it more balanced, in spite of my best efforts.

How about THREE of them, in a row!! Ok, skip all that if you want to, but the first half of the show is news news news. News like AMD's EXTREME X670E pricing, decoding the Ryzen 7000 mobile CPU names, and so much more that you'll just have to look at the list of time stamps right below this to find out what they all are.Timestamps:00:00 Intro and Food with Josh04:07 AMD X670E pricing is EXTREME!11:06 Decoding AMD's new mobile CPU names17:59 Blender Arc support19:00 Intel Arc A770, A750 launching very soon27:28 Apple's iPhone event31:27 Some weird AI image stuff35:09 Podcast ad break - Beard Club36:34 Gaming Quick Hits41:32 Security Corner44:42 Review #1: Monoprice SYNC-ANC Headphones50:07 Review #2: Sound Blaster Katana V2 Soundbar1:01:32 Review #3: FOSI TB10D Desktop Amp1:14:39 Picks of the Week1:23:56 Outro ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
