I don’t see me building a HEDT based on Intel chips anytime soon. I am curious if there will be a new motherboard chipset to go along with these new chips, or not? One with, oh, PCI4 (although I heard Intel was skipping four to go direct to five) and USB4 and Thunderbolt 3.

I get why Patrick has a hard time with Palmer Luckey’s name… but Luckey Palmer sounds like a magician’s act (or even worse like something you might pay a for at a disreputable massage parlour 😃 )

Lmao it’s even Lucky Palmer in the show notes.
I had the same experience with 7.1 mode on my Hyper X Cloud 2s. Definitely adds a spatial element, but I’m not sure it’s worth the reduction in sound quality.

Palmer Luckey’s or Luckey’s Palmer, either way the guy is lucky ok very skilled too.
But why Patrick, must you do road shows?
