The arrival of the new Apple HomePod is as good a time as any for a post-mortem of the original. The first HomePod was arguably both late and ahead of its time. On the one hand, the smart speaker was playing catch-up in a segment Amazon and Google had already flooded with options, many of which cost a fraction of the price. Problem was, back then Siri's functionality fell short of what Alexa and Google Assistant could deliver.

Overclocking support across the board was one more trick AMD had up its sleeve that would earn it a lot of goodwill in the gaming and enthusiast community.
