Podcast #786 – Ryzen 9900X and 9950X Performance, Intel Microcode Update, New RTX 4070 Variant, AMD Vulnerability + MORE!
This was a short show. Be warned! This episode is just over an hour, and probably a lot more exciting than the Ryzen 9000 launch, itself. Plus Josh had a really messy looking burger. You can’t lose.
We’ve got Intel microcode, AMD Ryzen 9k, when is an RTX 4070 a bit less … it’s a tight show.
We send out a huge THANK YOU to our generous and ever faithful Patreon members. New folks and current ones that are bumping their patronage are greatly appreciated.
This show cannot go on without you – you know who you are, please consider helping our efforts. It most definitely helps keep us on the air. And helps Josh buy burgers. Thank you!
