The Comprehensive Nerd ep. 142: AMD Ryzen XT CPUs, Nvidia RTX coprocessor rumors, PS5 design

In this episode of The Full Nerd, Gordon Ung, Brad Chacos, Alaina Yee, and Adam Patrick Murray dive into new AMD processors, what is up coming for Nvidia (possibly), and the PlayStation 5’s butt-ugly looks.

We kick things off outlining what’s new about AMD’s just-unveiled Ryzen XT processors—they’re incredibly a bit speedier than their namesakes, but the Ryzen 7 3800XT and Ryzen 9 3900XT lack bundled coolers. The gang wades into probable implications of those people tweaks, and throughout the segment, Gordon managed to break the information that opposite to those rumors traveling all over, no, Zen 3 hasn’t been delayed until eventually upcoming 12 months. After that, Brad dissects recent rumors of Nvidia’s next-gen RTX 3080 perhaps which include a individual “transversal coprocessor” chip for ray-tracing tasks. It’s an attention-grabbing imagined but bring a big ol’ handful of salt. Lastly, we collectively dump on the PlayStation 5’s style and speculate how a lot it and Microsoft’s rival Xbox Series X will price.
