In this episode of The Full Nerd, Gordon Mah Ung, Brad Chacos, and Adam Patrick Murray are joined by AMD’s Frank Azor and Robert Hallock to talk Ryzen 7 with V-Cache, DDR5 supplies, and whether Ryzen 6000 can take on Intel’s 12th-gen Alder Lake.
AMD dropped the kitchen sink on us at CES 2022, announcing everything from Ryzen 6000 laptop CPUs and V-Cache Ryzen to a new budget GPU, 200 new AMD-based laptops, and even Zen 4 and AM5. With so much to absorb, the Full Nerd crew got t
For years, PCs have enjoyed a tension between flexible modularity and bundled convenience: You can build a desktop PC from parts, or simply buy an all-in-one PC with everything combined. But that’s the PC. Dell’s new UltraSharp 32 4K feels like the next thing: the all-in-one display.
Here’s what we mean. Dell’s UltraSharp 32 4K display is, of course, a standard PC monitor: 3840×2160, IPS, HDR 400 certification, 400 nits of brightness, and 100 percent of the sRG
After what felt like the kitchen sink of announcements at CES 2022, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su sat down for a virtual intimate press roundtable to discuss everything from PC gamers’ frustrations, what to expect of Zen 4, whether DDR5 will be a limiting factor, and if the Ryzen 6000’s GPU is too fast. Read the full transcript of our interview with Dr. Lisa Su, AMD CVP Laura Smith, and AMD CVP David McAfee below. (This interview was edited for brevity and clarity.)

Razer loves to woo PC enthusiasts with products that are so far-fetched, it’s like they jumped straight out of the Matrix universe—witness the triple-screen Project Valerie laptop, radically modular Project Christine desktop, and room-filling Project Ariana projector of years past for just a few examples. But this year’s moonshot is truly kind of wild. Introduced at CES 2022, Project Sophia is Razer’s latest gaming desk concept. It’s a prototype, so there’s
Samsung, one of the self-styled kings of folding phones, would like to remind you that it could do the same for laptops with the Flex Note.
Asus already showed off a 17-inch folding Windows tablet earlier in the week and the Flex Note appears cut from the same cloth. Samsung’s video describes it as an OLED display that folds down to a 13-inch form factor and then unfolds to a 17-inch display. Samsung didn’t put a price on the concept, nor did it say if or when it would be produc
Anyone who’s looking for a way to improve their 1080p gaming experience without upgrading to a new graphics card should check out this deal at B&H Photo and Video. The retailer is selling a 24.5-inch Acer 240Hz gaming display for $240. That’s $30 off of B&H’s list price and much better than the $280 to $300 you’ll find this monitor selling for elsewhere.
This is a TN display, which means the viewing angle won’t be as large as with an IPS display. Some people al
If you missed all the laptop deals during the holidays, you’re in luck, as Walmart has a solid deal for a new clamshell. The big box retailer is selling a 17.3-inch HP laptop with a Core i5 for $499. That’s $180 off the list price.
This would be a very good laptop for pretty much anything you need to do. It’ll work as a casual device for web browsing and basic office tasks, but it should also be fine for photo editing and some lighter video editing as well. With Iris Xe gr
CES 2022 is typically the single most important media event for the PC laptop industry. This year proved no different despite the sudden and unexpected shift from to a largely virtually show (The major chip makers all stayed remote, as did most laptop manufacturers).
In fact, 2022 is shaping up to be an excellent year for Windows laptops. New CPUs and GPUs from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel promise to send laptop performance to the moon – and that’s just the start.
Here’s 5 to
As AMD’s Ryzen processors gain prominence and market share, you should expect to see more laptop manufacturers offer options for either the upcoming Ryzen 6000 processor or Intel’s 12th-gen Core, Alder Lake. But buying a laptop isn’t as simple as choosing one chip over the other—there are subtle variations at the platform level than can make a difference, too.
As we move into the 12th-gen Core / Ryzen 6000 generation of laptops, here’s what to keep an eye out f
