It's time for another week of Ryzen X3D discussion! Well, until about the 19 minute mark, anyway. There were a lot of other topics, and our original livestream began with an interview with Sapphire's PR manager Ed Crisler (to be released soon!). (Recorded March 15, 2023.)

Not a heavy news week, but still much fun to be had!  But ... this makes for a 45 minute show after the fluff was removed (and if you like all the fun+ fluff, visit patreon.com/pcper !)  Radeon pricing adjustment, Agesa 24GB support issues, Nvidia hot fixes CPU usage, more RTX 3060's are probably on the way, TPM 2.0 is probably terrible, and AMD might preview FSR 3.0 and so much more!

Where did we learn to podcast like this? 7-Eleven probably.  Ryzen 7950X3D is available (in Europe), AI goes wild, AMD released RX 6000 drivers finally!  The PCIe 4 NVME SP UD90 is very decent, and Intel brings back some sort of HEDT CPUs.  Much more fun for episode 7-11 with dead IE, Security issues and RGB!
