  • Ancient Promethean
    A really good gaming hardware podcast!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2020 during the COVID pandemic. I’ve learned a lot just by listening through the years, and some of it pretty practical. His main focus is Intel, TSMC, AMD, and NVIDIA hardware. His guests will rotate from server engineers, game developers, game reviewers, game journalists, and general tech bloggers. I’d recommend Tom, Dan, et all for people who are curious to learn a bit more about what goes behind the scenes to getting you, the gamer, the newest graphics card or CPU!
  • George A+ Roofing
    My favorite!

    The Whole Genome Sequencing of Microprocessors
    I consider myself a pretty advanced computer technologist. As a day job, i do research on infectious agents using whole genome sequencing, getting to the genomic core of each species i interact with. This podcast allows me to understand computer technology on a “molecular” scale and how this is melded with the business of consumer electronics. Thanks for providing us, week after week, with amazing content that allows us to dive deeper into the microprocessor world… endlessly fascinating!

    Great tech podcast
    Refreshing to listen to a podcaster that says it like it is. So many podcasters are too worried about pandering to certain groups or companies .
  • JALakersFan
    A great tech podcast!
    I recently subscribed to Tom’s YouTube channel “Moore’s Law is Dead” because of his honest analysis of the latest video card technology, which impacts my interest as a PC gamer; subscribing to this podcast is a natural extension of that. I’ve yet to encounter any instance where I find him, Dan or any of his guests to be boring (or dishonest), even if they discuss topics that have little or nothing to do with PC gaming.
  • oneandonlybby
