Podcast #786 - Ryzen 9900X and 9950X Performance, Intel Microcode Update, New RTX 4070 Variant + MORE!

PC Perspective Podcast

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.

Recorded August 14, 2024.
