330: Our E-Cores Are Better Than Your P-Cores

There's kind of a mountain of hardware news from the last week, so we're rounding it up this week, starting with Microsoft's Project Helix (a.k.a. the next Xbox), interrogating what exactly that box is going to look like inside and out, how much machine learning is going to factor in, and more. There's also the tiny, cheap MacBook Neo (and a surprising theory about future tiny iPhones), Intel's refreshed Arrow Lake CPUs, upscaling improvements on PS5 Pro (and Sony's anything-goes history of system settings), DLSS 4.5, Valve's continued supply-chain struggles, and more. That's a lot of podcast!
