In this episode of The Full Nerd, Gordon Ung, Brad Chacos, and Adam Patrick Murray discuss 5GHz CPUs, fuzzy Windows 11 adoption, and Nvidia’s mysteriously missing GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card.
With AMD showing off a Zen 4 processor with its cores all running at 5GHz, and Intel laying out plans for a 12th-gen desktop chip with all performance cores above 5GHz, the Full Nerd crew discusses what the big deal is about big round numbers. We dive into why they’re important, but a

Amazon is currently selling an LG 32-inch 1440p high refresh rate display for $397. That’s $100 off the most recent price and just $10 higher than the all-time low.
This display is an excellent upgrade for anyone who has a card capable of 1440p. It has a maximum 165Hz refresh rate, though LG says you can overcl
It’s another great day to pick up a grab-and-go laptop for a student or business professional at a standout price. Dell is selling the Inspiron 15 3000 for just $300. This is a limited availability deal, so you’ll want to act fast.
This laptop has a 15.6-inch 1080p display, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of NVMe onboard storage. For Wi-Fi, it has 802.11ac as well as Bluetooth. The port selection is pretty good with two standard USB 3.2, one USB 2.0, and one HDMI 1.4 out.

This created a small dilemma: I didn’t want to delete the files or leave them out in the open on my hard drive, but I wasn’t keen on printing them out on reams of paper either. That’s when I remembered Personal Vault, a feature
