Podcast #878 – Return of the 4GB GPU, Intel’s 65W iGPU, 8GB Surface Laptop is Unusable, LG Bloatware be gone, Linux GOG +MORE!
R.I.P. John C. Dvorak.
In other news … the Ryzen 7700X3D prices drop already, Nvidia N1X CUDA counts and an 88-core CPU (of course). Windows on ARM gets a real boost with Nvidia GPU drivers, HP is just as bad as we all through regarding printer cartridges, and LG discovers a new low by auto-installing bloatware when you plug in a display. Plenty of AMD good news in the datacenter and Open AI shows that unshackling their creations will probably be as bad as we thought. Steam hardware sales and so much more in the show!
You enjoy now.
