Podcast #649 – Apple’s new M1 Pro and Max SOCs, EPOS H3 Hybrid Headset, GPS Bug, SK Hynix with HBM3 + more! (1x649)

: 20, 2021

I know we don’t normally spend a lot of time discussing Apple, unless we’re poking fun at Brett – but this week, they came out with some shockingly good (it appears) tech in their new SOCs the M1 Pro and M1 Max. There’s a bug in a tiny GPSd program that hits on Sunday. Should be fun. Also, SK Hynix is getting back into HBM3, and we review the EPOS H3 Hybrid Gaming Headset. We also talk about the Canon printers having no ink and being unable to scan plus updates to ray tracing in games for both RTX and DXR. See the full topic list below!
