The Tech Report

We kick off this episode with a couple of gaming stories (Batman: Arkham Knight and Watch Dogs—exciting stuff) then move on to the pending unveiling of DirectX 12. Scott explains how AMD is giving new life to the Radeon HD 7950, and then he shares the latest Kabini news. Because we simply can't get enough of clicky keyboards, we tackle Razer's home-brewed mechanical switches and Geoff's review of the Cooler Master QuickFire Stealth. Finally, Cyril explains our new System Guide format, and Geoff reviews the "overclocked" Intel 730 Series SSD before giving us the latest on his SSD endurance experiment.

We're back after a long a depressingly long absence. Can you find it in your heart to forgive us? We really hope so...

Anyway, this episode kicks off with an update on our podcast hosting—and some juicy details about our listener base. Next up: listener mail and a slew of news stories, from the Comcast-Time Warner Cable axis of evil to rumored Broadwell processor delays. Then, Scott and Cyril dissect the performance of AMD's Mantle API, Scott reviews the GeForce TX 750 Ti, and Geoff shares his experience casually dating the Cooler Master QuickFire Ultimate mechanical keyboard. Tune in to find out if the relationship gets serious.

In this episode, Scott, Geoff, and Jordan discuss the hard drive reliability insights from BackBlaze, specs for desktop-bound AMD Kabini processors, and exciting new "storage in a DIMM" technology from SanDisk. Then, after touching on a $404 4K display and real-time ray tracing excitement from Vegas, our panel delves into AMD's new A8-7600 "Kaveri" APU.

Get the scoop on the Consumer Electronics Show from our crew as Scott reports not-quite-live from Sin City itself.

At long last, our panelists return with another glorious hour-and-a-half of vocal tech reporting. A large slew of listener mail questions kick off the show. The questions cover everything from hard drive health monitoring to Moore's law and gaming. Then, we cover some of the latest tech news, including Amazon's new drone delivery service, John Carmack's departure from id Software, and the death of Winamp. Finally, Scott takes a deep dive into the question, "are retail Radeon R9 290X cards slower than press samples?"

We're back with another episode of the TR Podcast. After a slew of listener mail questions and a live reading of our "Dear Diary" contest winner's winning entry, we dive straight into Cyril's field report from AMD's APU13 event. Our coverage includes discussion of AMD's upcoming Kaveri APU, the company's 2014 mobile roadmap, the new Mantle API, and a lot more. Before bringing our episode to a close, Geoff shares his frustration with Google, Cyril talks about his review of the Radeon R9 270, and we explain how you can win a copy of Battlefield 4, courtesy of AMD.

We are back (belatedly, we know) with more of the fabulous Tech Report Podcast. This show kicks off in a bit of a sour mood as Jordan shares his latest tech woes and how they've affected podcast production. Then it's on to happier things with a slew of listener tweets and emails. Finally, Scott has two major graphics card reviews, as Nvidia and AMD battle for the crown of "fastest GPU." Before we close the episode, Geoff gives us an update as his SSD endurance project hits the 200TB mark.

Be warned. This episode is long. We cover, in depth, Apple's latest and greatest tablets and notebooks. Scott expounds on his adventure with AMD's impressive (if a bit noisy) Radeon R9 290X. Nvidia's G-Sync is also of interest, as is Geoff's review of the Asus Transformer Book T100. We wrap things up with Cyril's discovery of the glorious Steelcase Leap chair.

Prior to the recording of this episode, Scott survived Hawaii, Geoff and Cyril orchestrated a Canadian TR meetup, and Jordan moved to Manhattan. With so much adventure under our belts, we have a lively episode for you to enjoy this time. After listener mail and a recap of our Canadian meetup, we dive right into Valve's recent, industry rattling announcements. Next, Cyril discusses a new Corsair enclosure that aims to replace our go-to 650D, and Scott gives us the low-down on AMD's latest announcements—and the company's issues with CrossFire configs and 4K monitors.

Scott is back from Intel's Developer Forum and he's brought with him a wide assortment of PC stories. We cover everything from Intel's new 'Bay Trail' SOC, to new and improved NUCs, to a sneak peak at DDR4 - hidden away in a Kingston expo booth. Also on the show, four listeners have their email questions answered, and we discuss the new iPhone(s) from Apple.
