   Number 1: Podcast #862 - DDR5 Prices Begin to Fall? AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Announced, DLSS 4.5, GMail, and more!

   When will the pricing of DDR (and fallout from it) stop being top news? Not this week! Get yer extra frames with DLSS 4.5, Geekbench and the newest Intel CPUs have a disagreement, plus we try and make sense of the FCC router ban (Hint: "no"). Ubisoft is still killing games, as is their custom, and Google is giving you a chance to fix your past mistakes (with an email address like "[email protected]", I can see why). Plus so much more, enjoy!

   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.
