In this episode of The Full Nerd, Gordon Mah Ung, Brad Chacos, Alaina Yee, and Adam Patrick Murray tell you how significant the PCIe 4.0 support baked into AMD’s Ryzen 3000 processors actually is, and actually praise aspects of Apple’s new Mac Pro (just not the stand.)
With AMD’s Ryzen 3000-series CPUs formally bringing PCIe 4.0 to desktop PCs, the Full Nerd crew breaks down where it matters and why you want it. And yes, believe it nor not, Gordon has some praise for aspects of Apple’s new 28-core Mac Pro. He explains where and how it’s probably going to be faster than most PC workstations.
As always, we wrap things up by fielding questions from the live viewing audience and members of The Full Nerd Discord.
