0:00.0	Hi y'all doing everyone. Happy Friday. Welcome to the WAN show. We've got a great show lined
0:07.0	up for you today. We'll be talking about, okay, this is not a major topic, but it's pretty
0:13.4	unusual and comical. Woman was caught trying to smuggle CPUs into China under a fake pregnant
0:20.8	belly. Like a lot of them. We'll be talking about that. Intel Arc GPUs are getting a massive
0:26.8	upgrade in performance, particularly in games that use older APIs. We're going to be talking
0:32.0	about that. What else we got? And this one's a big topic. Why don't you care about this topic?

2:03.8	200 Intel Alder Lake CPUs hidden inside fake pregnant belly. This wasn't like a couple. That's
2:14.4	so many. Okay. These are Alder Lake CPUs. So these are high end chips. We are talking somewhere
