Apple Silicon Has Competition!

About this episode

The episode discusses Microsoft's recent announcements and a new chip that may compete with Apple's M-series chips, alongside a showcase of a DIY smartwatch.

Next week is Apple's WWDC conference, but this week was all about Microsoft. But first, Andrew showed off his new DIY smartwatch to Marques and David. Then they go over the new announcements from Microsoft and NVIDIA including a new chip that might finally be some competition for the M-series chips. Allegedly. Maybe. Of course, we wrap it all up with trivia!
