Big AMD energy this week. PC World's Gordon Mah Ung has gotten his hands on the new Ryzen 5000 series chips, and now he's here to tell us all about AMD's latest attempt to take the CPU crown (well, that and getting the fire department called). Then we dig into the announcement of the new RDNA 2-based Radeon 6000 cards, perhaps more affectionately known as BIG NAVI.

This week we discuss DrDisrespect cryptically saying why he got banned on Twitch and how his ban has also changed Twitches policy. We also discuss the new AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors running on the new Zen 3 platform. All that and more in this week's episode. Also, this is a longer podcast than normal running at just over an hour.

We also hit on our Top Questions of the Week. Download the podcast and be sure to follow us across all social media platforms. Until next time, Keep Grinding!

Tonight we discuss the upcoming Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 series and how they achieve their IPC uplift, do some educated guesses on how the Radeon 5000 GPU series will perform - minus what-ever Sebastian says about TDP's, and fawn over a screamin' fast WD PCIe 4 NVME SSD.  Additionally there's some "uninterrupted" discussion on the Apple iPhone 12, complete with music and endless scrolling - very moving, don't miss.  We round out the night featuring an interesting AIO from be quiet!, Samsung mobile card storage, and a Corsair KATAR gaming mouse.

You could become hungry during the hamburger sequence.  Be informed, no complaints later - they will be ignored.

This week, we couldn't resist talking about the newly announced Zen 3 CPUs from AMD, along with the tease of their upcoming Big Navi-based graphics cards, plus a bonus segment on that PlayStation 5 teardown. We're just a couple of big old hardware nerds at heart, what can we say?

Time for another Q&A! This week we discuss listener-submitted emails about the ultra-sandboxed future of Windows 10X, a short mouse retrospective, waiting for the right time to build a new PC, electron beams 'n electromagnets, questionable phone upgrades, and our personal histories of taking stuff apart and putting it back together.
