PC Perspective Podcast #527 - 01/02/19

This week we have another exploration of various personal computer-related topics, including a software fix for the NVIDIA capacitor drama, an alleged Ryzen 5800X performance leak, and QLC NAND invades the PCIe Gen4 SSD space.And, as if that wasn't enough, we also chat about some very early access to the upcoming Xbox Series X console, discuss some space games, and take a first look at a secure USB drive. And probably some more stuff, but it's been a long week and who can remember everything.Oh, we also do our world-famous picks of the week AND there may be an actual burger update this time!Timestamps:Intro 00:05Burger Update 02:34RTX 30 Series Capacitor Drama Resolved? 03:16AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Performance Leak 20:21Sabrent Brings QLC To Gen4 SSDs 24:33Ars Gets the Xbox Series X Early 32:42Yet Another AGESA Update From AMD 37:12Space Games Update Interlude 41:00iStorage DATASHUR BT Preview 48:34Picks of the Week 51:52Outro 1:04:59 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
