Hardware news this week includes discussion of 'fake' VRM phases on a B450 motherboard, AMD's move beyond 8 cores for Ryzen, and Google's $5B fine. Ad: EVGA's 19th Anniversary Giveaway is here: http://geni.us/NZnUrfn Grab a GN poster here: https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/video-card-components-poster-18-x-24 Show notes: https://www.gamersnexus.net/news-pc/3345-hw-news-fake-vrm-phases-next-gen-ryzen-core-count The first news story discusses Buildzoid's coverage on Actually Hardcore Overclocking, where he talked about 'fake' VRM phase on B450 motherboards, primarily focusing on Gigabyte's B450 board. This primarily boils down to the definition of a VRM phase. We also talk about MSI accidentally revealing future plans to go beyond 8 cores for AMD Ryzen CPUs, Google getting hit with a $5 billion fine in the EU, and Z370 BIOS updates indicating impending 8C Intel CPU launches.
