There's a ton of hardware news to talk about this week. The Xbox specs and pricing updates are significant, and deserving of comparisons and discussion even within the PC community. The parts, ultimately, are shared between PCs and consoles alike. Western Digital has also found itself in a tough spot again, following its SMR stories previously, this time relating to the classification of 5400RPM drives and 7200RPM drives. Elsewhere in news, the RTX 3000-series cards (3080 and 3090) have water blocks pictured and binning stats allegedly leaked.
