## Resource

Episode 87: We revisit some discussion from last week as we've found more dodgy stuff Microsoft has done, before chatting about the current situation Intel is in with CPUs. They aren't anywhere near as competitive up against AMD now, as AMD were with Ryzen when Intel was dominant. (Note: This podcast was recorded before the recent AMD RDNA 2 driver decision, we'll discuss that in the future) CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:29 - Microsoft Does Dodgy Stuff Again 11:34 - Intel CPUs when AMD is Dominant vs AMD CPUs when Intel is Dominant 21:35 - The Discounts Aren't Enough 34:53 - Platform Longevity is Crucial 41:33 - Platform Support is Always Better 1:04:34 - Updates From Our Boring Lives SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST Audio: https://shows.acast.com/the-hardware-unboxed-podcast Video: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqT8Vb3jweH6_tj2SarErfw SUPPORT US DIRECTLY Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hardwareunboxed LINKS YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Hardwareunboxed/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HardwareUnboxed Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hardwareunboxed.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.
