We talk AMD's Threadripper... it's a 16 core 32 thread MONSTER coming this summer! Why Ryzen's 1080p gaming performance is all about memory latency. And Vega, which promises to spank the Fury X. In news that doesn't involve AMD, Google IO showed off a standalone Daydream VR headset, Amazon has 4K Fire TVs and new $50 Fire Tablets...and if you need a ton of storage, WD has released 10TB Reds. All that and more on This Week In Computer Hardware!
