In this episode of M2 Podcast, we delve into AMD’s powerful new Ryzen 7 9800X3D, offering enhanced gaming performance and 3D V-Cache technology. Bungie provides a development update on their highly anticipated Marathon, though gameplay footage remains elusive. We also explore Sony’s decision to close Neon Koi and Firewalk Studios, and hear strong opinions from Arkane Studios' former president on Microsoft's controversial closure of Arkane Austin.
