Podcast #858 - Intel & AMD CPU Rumors, NVIDIA Works on Linux, DDR5 Prices Trend, MOZA R5 Bundle

About this episode

The episode discusses recent rumors about Intel and AMD CPUs, NVIDIA's efforts in Linux gaming, and trends in DDR5 pricing, along with a review of the MOZA R5 Bundle.

Not sure how this got missed last week! Making up for time, now you get TWO episodes packed into 1 week! Intel might go back to a unified arch, Acer threatens people to buy now or else, and that Discord thing continues. Oh, and that Nvidia money train just keeps on rolling, plus more 12VHPWR woes. Do take a listen / look at the Moza R5 virtual driving gear bundle though, very nice.
