Sorry for the short notice, but I will be doing this in a few hours. Put your questions below, and aim to be concise, thoughtful, and utilize good grammar. Your question may just get into the Q&A!

Will the architecture of a high end PC look much different compared to what we have today once the benefits of the PS5 are realised.

2020-05-31 22:55:03 +0000 UTCWill you ever stop crediting me twice in the patron shout outs? It makes me feel bad, as if I did something morally wrong, getting thanked twice!

2020-05-31 21:39:04 +0000 UTCWhat're your thoughts on the recent IPC rumors for Ocean Cove? BS or not?

2020-05-31 21:29:16 +0000 UTCOnce VR headsets get high-res enough, do you think virtual monitors rendered in VR will replace monitors even for flat non-VR games?

2020-05-31 21:13:11 +0000 UTCWhat are your thoughts on the AMD 4000H laptops that are starting to roll out (Acer Nitro 5, Dell G5 15 SE, Asus TUF A15)? Seems like pricing is all over the place, especially with the wild disparity in terms of dGPU, RAM, and SSD capacity in each one.

2020-05-31 21:06:05 +0000 UTCDo you have any inside knowledge on whether the current lack of Ryzen 4xxx laptops (other than Asus) is solely human malware-related delays, or were the partners slow in coming up with designs? We were supposed to have the Lenovos in early April and they still haven't launched, and I don't know of many others other than Asus/Lenovo even listing their SKUs.

2020-05-31 21:04:49 +0000 UTCHow's it going Tom? I was sitting around today and I had a moment of clarity where I wondered "Where the hell are the OLED monitors?" We have OLED displays for phones, laptops, and TVs, but they're suspiciously absent from the desktop space. Do you have any idea why there's a drought of OLED desktop monitors?

2020-05-31 21:04:02 +0000 UTCHi Tom :) Do you think that rdna 2 or Ampere will be strong enough (combined with a pcie gen 4 SSD and ddr4) to be on a ps5 level or do we have to wait for ddr5 and faster ssd's? Greetings from Switzerland :)
2020-05-31 20:40:29 +0000 UTCTom, someone like me wants a next gen laptop to keep up with next gen consoles. I can wait ~6-9 months. Do I buy cheap now and upgrade later or wait? These apus and next gen gpus look sick so I'm at a bit of a cross roads.
