On this episode, Devindra chats with Engadget’s Dan Cooper about Intel, AMD, NVIDIA and the unhappy state of the PC business. We have some new CPUs, however the unstable RAM market will probably make every little thing costly this 12 months. Additionally, they dive into Dell’s revival of the XPS model, in addition to iPolish’s good nails and Refined’s AI-powered VoiceBuds.
