Podcast #796 – Intel Core Ultra Happened, Arm to Cancel Qualcomm License, NVIDIA Fixes Blackwell, Gigabyte X3D Turbo!

What a week. So much exciting news to cover, including the extremely well-received new Intel Core Ultra desktop processors! Does sarcasm evident? Anyhow, we received them, too, but without a motherboard, so not much tested happened before this launch.  No worries, we’re getting a board, and have turned off our AI assistants.  Or have we?

Once again, with feeling!  We must thank our Patreon members, because without you … we would be gone. 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!
