The Tech Report Podcast returns with Editor-in-Chief Jeff Kampman and esteemed guest David Kanter on the line.

Our thanks to Zotac for sponsoring the podcast this week.

In this episode, special guest David Kanter joins Scott to go deep on Intel's Skylake CPU and its graphics architecture. We also address some questions about the recent controversy surrounding the differences between Nvidia's and AMD's approaches to DirectX 12 asychronous compute shaders—the source of a comment that's taken the Internet by storm.

In this episode, Scott, Ben, and Jeff put AMD's Radeon R9 Nano under the magnifying glass. We also discuss Intel's support of VESA Adaptive-Sync, Cooler Master's MasterCase 5, and Galaxy Note 5 owners putting their pens in backwards, and we take questions from the peanut gallery.

We also answer questions from our readers and loyal live-stream watchers.

We welcome a couple of fresh faces to the podcast: our new host, Luke McCready, and TR contributor Ben Funk. Scott showed off his shiny new microphone, courtesy of Monoprice. We also talked about the recent fortunes of Apple and Qualcomm, Asus' affordable ZenFone 2E, our latest System Guide, and buffalo. You'll have to listen to figure that last one out.

Introducing the disastrously overdue audio version of episode 176 of the Tech Report Podcast. This week, we talked about Project Cars and hard-core racing sims versus arcadey racers. Then we dug into Asus' new ZenFone 2, Time Warner's Maxx service, and Asus' Transformer T300 Chi convertible.

Jordan is back and that's a good, good thing. This week, we talked about a ton of Computex news, including the release of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, G-Sync updates, Intel's desktop Broadwell, our new headline format, and AMD's Carrizo.

It's a Jordan-less episode this week, but that doesn't mean it's not any good. We talked about the AMD Zen rumors, enjoyed special guest Rys talking about his excellent Semiconductors from idea to product, and we dug into ARM's new Cortex-A72 CPU architecture, among other things.

There's only one Geoff to have to worry about for this episode—a return to the "old cast", if you will, of our humble podcast. Tune in for a tablety... FreeSyncy... SSDy... corny-jokey kind of night with the gang.

Tune in to hear Scott talk quadcopters and the new Damagebox. Listen to the gang discuss the merits of Leap Motion's hand tracking with VR. Marvel at Jeff K's review of EVGA's Torq mice. Swoon over Scott's review of the GeForce Titan X. Snore during Geoff's SSD review. I need a nap.

It's our first episode without the venerable Cyril Kowaliski... and we're so, so, lost doing just fine! Join us for a surprising Apple Watch and MacBook conversation, a look at the Shield set-top box, "console-killer" Steam machines, and a lot more. Bonus points if you can hang in long enough to hear Jordan sing (it's not pretty).
