But first, the day of reckoning is here. We start things off by revisiting our PC predictions for 2019, made twelve long months ago—before AMD’s full-blown desktop dominance over Intel, before Nvidia played nice with FreeSync monitors, and before Apple (finally) launched the Mac Pro. We got a lot right! But we also got a whole lot wrong in yesteryear’s escalating debate, and predictions aren’t any fun without consequences. For the ones we got wrong, we literally eat the paper our words are written on. Each of us brought our own condiments to dress things up, but the failures still taste bitter with every bite.
With our bellies full, we turn to fresh predictions, and somehow, the lingering paper between our teeth doesn’t render us surprisingly gun shy. By the end of the show, we issue bets—some bold, some not-so-bold, some downright insane—on Intel’s long-delayed 10nm processors, game-streaming services, next-gen graphics cards, Macs converting to ARM, and a whole lot more.
