All right, and we're back for E3 Day 2 for another bonus episode.

0:07.9

It is morning now. Jason, good morning. How's it going?

0:11.1

Yeah, sorry we couldn't get this up last night. I was having a couple of adult beverages,

0:17.3

and one thing led to another.

0:20.2

That's how it goes.

0:20.9

Let's just leave it at that.

0:21.6

That's E-3.

0:22.6

You know, you've got to be social.

0:23.6

We're doing these when we can.

0:24.6

necessarily indicative of like a game performance.

1:13.7

Like, it's sort of, like, a raw, gives you a general sense of how powerful a processor is.

1:19.1

So something having eight terraflops versus six terraflops doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get, like, way better game performance in it.

1:25.0

But so general comparison point here is when we're talking about like 4K gaming versus

1:31.1

2K gaming, whatever, the GTX 980TI that I have installed in my PC is around 5.6 terraflops
