IDF 2012

Despite crazy travel schedules and Brian being in South Korea, we managed to carve out nearly 2 hours across time zones to discuss the iPhone 5. Brian goes over his hands on experiences with the device and we touch on everything that has been happening with the A6 SoC discovery. At the end of the episode, we also give a quick overview of Haswell and discuss the significant changes Intel is making to the platform to support it.
