We're back with another podcast. This time we start out with a discussion of Borderlands 2 and philosophies on sidequests in games. We briefly talk about TI defocusing its smartphone/tablet SoC business, Brian also gives us a look at the role of the PMIC in a modern ultra mobile platform. AMD's desktop Trinity GPU launch is discussed as well as some of the behind the scenes politics we deal with on a regular basis here.

We mention Samsung's new SSD 840/840 Pro and what the 840 means for driving SSD prices down in the future, and conclude the discussion with more about the iPhone 5 from Brian.

    Has the iTunes Podcast Version been fixed too? Yet to see any updates in iTunes. If not please make another re-upload to iTunes.

    Really sorry!! But the one I downloaded from iTunes still seems to be having problems...

    Is it possible for Anandtech to change the file in iTunes. Or upload another corrected version of the podcast to iTunes? Would be helpful..

    1:20:12 on the m4a that I'm listening to on Downcast in iOS cuts to silence.
