Summary

Big AMD energy this week. PC World's Gordon Mah Ung has gotten his hands on the new Ryzen 5000 series chips, and now he's here to tell us all about AMD's latest attempt to take the CPU crown (well, that and getting the fire department called). Then we dig into the announcement of the new RDNA 2-based Radeon 6000 cards, perhaps more affectionately known as BIG NAVI. Support the Pod!

0:00.0	Should we talk about giant touch screens doing data visualizations on live cable news?
0:04.7	Yeah.
0:05.3	Yeah.
0:05.8	It is better than when they started to pretend they were in the screen before.
0:09.4	And they were just kind of like, and it would be wrong.

0:40.8	was saying this, I was like, I want to be the person that's directing these shows and that's

1:00.6	arms race.
1:01.8	Like, MSNBC was like straight up posting Twitter clips of Kornacki like doing crazy math
1:06.7	in his head and stuff like that.
