00:00:00 Summary: The video discusses the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB price, Raptor Lake Refresh, and Zen 5 big.LITTLE. The discussion also includes comparisons of AMD and Nvidia GPUs and their pricing. The hosts express disappointment with the pricing of the 4070 and 7900 XT, suggesting lower prices would make more sense for consumers.
00:17:59 RTX 4060 Ti 8GB Price, Raptor Lake Refresh, Zen 5 big.LITTLE | Hardware Unboxed | Broken Silicon 197.
💰 The RTX 4060 Ti 8GB should ideally be priced at $700, considering factors like inflation and the current economic climate.
📈 The performance of the 7900 XTX is better than the RTX 4060 Ti at $900, making it a bad price-performance deal.
🔻 AMD may need to lower the price of their products, like the 7950 X, to compensate for initial bad reviews and attract more buyers.
📉 Nvidia's decision to offer 12GB of VRAM for the RTX 40 series may not be sufficient, as many recent games are already running out of VRAM at this capacity.
🎮 For multiplayer gaming, a graphics card with lower VRAM but better price-performance may be acceptable, especially if the textures can be lowered for better performance.
💿 The minimum VRAM requirement for a graphics card should be higher than 8GB, possibly around 12GB, to ensure future-proofing and optimal performance in upcoming demanding games.

The speaker explores the performance and suitability of different CPUs for gaming and productivity. They discuss the options and recommend considering price and availability when making a decision. No mention of sponsorships or brand names.
The extra cores in the CPU are not utilized for gaming.
It would be interesting to see how the CPU performs in the future.
There is confusion over who the target audience is for the CPU.
AMD should have launched a different version of the CPU with better gaming performance and slower clock speeds.
Intel may release a Raptor Lake refresh with faster multi-threading.
Memory speeds and stability differ between AMD and Intel.
AMD and Intel CPUs have their pros and cons for different use cases.
There are debates about the significance of higher memory speeds.
There may be hybrid architectures and scheduling challenges with AMD's Zen 5.
Intel's big.LITTLE architecture may benefit everyone in the future.
01:11:55 This video discusses potential issues with AMD's scheduling and the challenges they may face with their upcoming CPUs. It also raises questions about Nvidia's monopoly in the GPU market and the possibility of AMD forcing a change in pricing.
AMD CPU scheduling may have teething issues, but early adopters should monitor reviews for any potential problems.
The first big.LITTLE CPU from AMD, called 'Phoenix,' is expected to have two Zen 4 cores and four little cores, with potential performance and core selection issues.
AMD CPUs may not have the same issues as Intel CPUs, but it is advisable to wait for reviews and updates before making a purchase.
AMD's Navi 33 GPU, expected to perform like a 3070 TI, could put pressure on Nvidia's high pricing in the GPU market.
01:29:50 Summary: A lukewarm review of the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, with recommendations to wait for the 7900 XTX and alternative if it performs poorly. AMD's graphics card pricing is discussed, along with Intel's Arc GPU. The importance of timing and profitability for Intel's success is emphasized.
🔑 Mixed reviews for the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB with some websites changing their thumbnails after release.
🔑 No conclusive conclusion on the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, waiting to see the competitor (700 7900 XTX) before making a final judgement.
🔑 The 700 XTX is good, but not an exciting step forward compared to previous generation.
🔑 High demand for the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, but it's not recommended over other options in terms of performance and price.
🔑 Intel Arc's performance hasn't improved significantly, but they have been proactive in fixing issues with drivers.
🔑 Intel Arc needs to be competitive in terms of performance and price to be recommended and profitable.
🔑 Timing and working drivers are crucial for the success of Intel Arc and any new GPU release.
01:47:49 A discussion about benchmarking, passion for reviewing technology, and the challenges of overclocking. They also touch on the topic of benchmarking VR on PC.
🔄 Benchmarking is important for reviews to ensure accurate performance results.
⚙️ Benchmarking VR games on PC is not commonly done, but it can be done with passion and effort.
🖥️ The reviewer is passionate about CPUs, GPUs, and motherboards, but not interested in VR or monitors.
