quad Channel memory support higher overall memory capacity more PCI Express Lanes so therefore inherently better support for multi-graphics card setups and finally support for processors with more than four cores so why is it that core i5s and core i7s on the mainstream socket have been so popular with Gamers overclockers and enthusiasts with the purchase of a qualifying Intel processor SSD or knck you could instantly win an Intel gaming Jersey and be entered in the draw for the ultimate system click now to learn more in the LGA 1366 days all the hardware nerds went enthusiasts because that's where the hot offerings like the core i7 920 could be found but starting with sandybridge back in early 2011 Intel started releasing their newer processor microarchitectures on the mainstream platform first before bringing them to the Enthusiast platform so particularly for gamers it was better to buy the lower end product for better single-threaded performance often better overclocking much lower prices and even more up-to-date feature sets Thunderbolt for example has never been available to DIY consumers on LGA 2011 in fact the only real reason to go Enthusiast was to get a six core processor but unless you wanted a pretty slow Zeon those started at $1,000 until a year ago when the 4930k became available at the value price of nearly $600 still pretty expensive but now they've finally done it with the release of the LGA 20113 socket and x99 chipset and the 5820k 5930k and 5960x CPUs to go with them Intel has finally addressed my complaints and made the final step towards reestablishing the really the sense ability of their two socket system we've got LGA 1150 for mainstream consumers and LGA 20113 for enthusiasts with all CPUs on both sockets featuring the latest Haswell micro architecture except now in addition to more PCI E gen 3 Lanes except the 5820k which actually gets fewer and quad Channel memory we get support for ddr4 which means higher speed memory at lower voltages with lower power consumption and higher capacities in the future Thunderbolt expansion capability better base clock overclocking and every LGA 20113 CPU has at least six processing cores and 12 threads with hyper threading with the th000 extreme Edition featuring eight cores and 16 threads but before you get too excited it's not all pure sunshine and rainbows on LGA 20113 there are no core i5s so in terms of pricing Haswell e Enthusiast grade chips start where regular Haswell well and Devil's Canyon ones leave off at around $400 on top of that x99 boards and the ddr4 to go with them are more expensive as well due to the higher cost of the chipset more complicated board design and the engineering costs associated with bringing a new platform to Market and then for the RAM it's just in such low volumes in terms of manufacturing that it tends to be very very expensive every time we transition memory Technologies but you guys didn't watch this video to hear all that boring oh it's expensive stuff so let's show off the hardware for today's performance overview of the brand new high-end 5960x first up is the board ASUS sent over their creatively named x99 Deluxe the followup to our favorite last gen board around here the x79 deluxe and it comes with some serious upgrades first up is those ddr4 memory slots that support up to 64 gigs of ddr4 and with the right kit we've confirmed this with the 3 GHz high-speed g-skill memory kit that we ran our performance numbers with up to to 3,000 MHz ddr4 with some creative XMP implementation that actually uses the 125 base clock strap and lowers the CPU multiplier but kept our system stable throughout benching somehow in spite of the slightly overclash CPU speed so there you go next we've got dramatically improved storage capabilities the last gen board was stuck with only two native SATA 3 ports and four with a Marvel controller well now we we get up to 12 with four of them capable of being used for up to two SATA Express 10 GB ports and then on top of all that we get this fancy little bracket that allows an m.2 SSD to be installed that'll run at 10 gbit per second as well USB 3 has gotten a significant upgrade as well with a total of 14 ports supported although I personally wouldn't have minded seeing a couple of these replaced by a PS2 Port some of us still like them um but since we're checking out the rear iio now seems like a good time to mention the upgraded networking we've got better better Intel networking now with slightly better performance lower CPU utilization and more software prioritizations options we've also got three spatial stream onboard AC Wireless that boasts 1.3 GB per second maximum theoretical bandwidth and then finally not related to networking but also on the back panel we've got upgraded onboard audio that features some of the same technology that we've become accustomed to seeing on Rog boards like Amplified headphone output and audio grade capacitors and whatnot onto the UEFI BIOS there's been an aesthetic and functional overhaul we get all the fancy little features that z97 users have been enjoying like the configurable favorite submenu simplified overclocking and raid setup and finally inbios temperature sensor controlled fan curve configuration that can handle either DC or pwm control on any fan header on the board or the little Molex power daughter board that you can reposition and that acts as a controllable Fan Hub elsewhere in your system giving you up to eight controllable fans oh yeah and it looks pretty sweet too I guess with white shielding on the io and a sexy matte black PCB this is a big improvement over the last generation gold thing they had going on on to the CPU today we'll be focused on the Big Kahuna the 5960x this is an 8 core mother of a chip that comes clocked at really 3 GHz Bas that's it I mean sure it's got 20 Megs of level three cach compared to 15 Megs on the lower end chips and two full extra course but 3 GHz stock 3.5 GHz max turbo am I supposed to be impressed not until we start overclocking it something anyone buying themselves in extreme Edition owes it to themselves to do overclocked we got our chip running at 4.35 gz effortlessly at which speed we were even able to run our ddr4 RAM at 3,000 MHz and we've seen reports around the web of 3.6 GHz even without pushing these things too hard on liquid cooling so so at that point is it fast well we put it up against the consumer grade chip that has passed for highend up until now the core i7 4790k to determine exactly what's up with this CPU when it comes to gaming performance well until directx12 lands with its supposed dramatic improvements to multi-threading supporting games I think aor might be a bit overkill for normal Gamers and higher per core clock speeds will continue to be important but throw ing some of Ida 64's synthetic benchmarks at it reveals a different story and back to the real world when we start feeding it some truly multithreading optimized workload such as file compression and 3D rendering the 5960x reveals itself as the true multi-threading Beast that it is in fact once overclocked it's really not that far off the $25,000 last gen 12 core xon that we just put in edel's machine for editing and 3D rendering so that's it for the extreme Edition but don't worry we're going to be doing lots more content around Intel's latest truly Enthusiast grade platform but we want your feedback on what you want to see from us should we take a deep dive into the 5820k performance which aside from 12 F PCI Express Lane seems to be the ultimate gamer and multitasker Sweet Spot should we look into this new platform from a content creator perspective should we quantify the real world difference between DDR3 and ddr4 in as close to an Apple stles comparison as we can you let us know what kind of content we should make thanks for watching guys and a huge thanks to gkill who sponsored today's episode and provided the brand spanking new rip Jaws 4 ddr4 RAM featured in the video we've been using gskill RAM in our test benches for a long time now we trust their products and we're extremely happy to finally be working with them from a sponsorship sort of level the specific kit that we showed off today is a 4x4 gig 60 16 gig kit running at 3,000 MHz 1.35 Vol cl15 but they'll be offering a very comprehensive lineup including a 16 kit gig kit that runs at 3200 MHz a 32 gig kit at 3,000 MHz and a 64 gig kit at 2800 MHz bananas G skill's 16 gig 3200 MHz kit actually holds the current ddr4 speed record at 404 MHz pretty darn fast for such a new platform anyway guys if you need some ddr4 consider using the link in the video description to pick it up thanks for watching again don't forget to like this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment letting me know of course those things I asked you to comment about before check out the
