It's time for another week of Ryzen X3D discussion! Well, until about the 19 minute mark, anyway. There were a lot of other topics, and our original livestream began with an interview with Sapphire's PR manager Ed Crisler (to be released soon!).

Not a heavy news week, but still much fun to be had!  But ... this makes for a 45 minute show after the fluff was removed (and if you like all the fun+ fluff, visit patreon.com/pcper !)  Radeon pricing adjustment, Agesa 24GB support issues, Nvidia hot fixes CPU usage, more RTX 3060's are probably on the way, TPM 2.0 is probably terrible, and AMD might preview FSR 3.0 and so much more!

Where did we learn to podcast like this? 7-Eleven probably.  Ryzen 7950X3D is available (in Europe), AI goes wild, AMD released RX 6000 drivers finally!  The PCIe 4 NVME SP UD90 is very decent, and Intel brings back some sort of HEDT CPUs.  Much more fun for episode 7-11 with dead IE, Security issues and RGB!

This week we assemble yet again to talk about AMD's big reveal - and now that the wait for Ryzen 7000X3D Series pricing and availability information is over, the wait for physical Ryzen 7000X3D Series product begins.

Not to be outdone, Intel has lowered Arc A750 pricing and provided a new driver with even faster DX9 performance! Just don't look at their quarterly financial statement. AMD, on the other hand, had a good quarter. Josh talked about both. (Full list of topics below.)

We have made it to episode 700!!! Sure, only half of the crew made it this far, but that's just how it goes. It's a war of attrition, and Jeremy was there from episode one (Josh joined a bit later).
