1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,200
for years now the high-end LGA 2011 socket had bells and whistles like quad

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,800
Channel memory support higher overall memory capacity more PCI Express Lanes

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,320
so therefore inherently better support for multi-graphics card setups and

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:20,560
finally support for processors with more than four cores so why is it that core

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:26,240
i5s and core i7s on the mainstream socket have been so popular with Gamers

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,240
overclockers and

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,960
enthusiasts

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:38,200
with the purchase of a qualifying Intel processor SSD or knck you could

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,520
instantly win an Intel gaming Jersey and be entered in the draw for the ultimate

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:47,239
system click now to learn more in the LGA 1366 days all the hardware nerds

11
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:52,239
went enthusiasts because that's where the hot offerings like the core i7 920

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:58,039
could be found but starting with sandybridge back in early 2011 Intel

13
00:00:55,239 --> 00:01:02,840
started releasing their newer processor microarchitectures on the mainstream

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:08,640
platform first before bringing them to the Enthusiast platform so particularly

15
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:13,119
for gamers it was better to buy the lower end product for better

16
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:19,040
single-threaded performance often better overclocking much lower prices and even

17
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:25,159
more up-to-date feature sets Thunderbolt for example has never been available to

18
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:27,759
DIY consumers on LGA 2011 in fact the

19
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:32,600
only real reason to go Enthusiast was to get a six core processor but unless you

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:38,000
wanted a pretty slow Zeon those started at $1,000 until a year ago when the

21
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:43,000
4930k became available at the value price of nearly $600 still pretty

22
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:49,280
expensive but now they've finally done it with the release of the LGA 20113

23
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:52,880
socket and x99 chipset and the 5820k

24
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,479
5930k and 5960x CPUs to go with them

25
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,439
Intel has finally addressed my complaints and made the final step

26
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:04,680
towards reestablishing the really the sense ability of their two socket system

27
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:10,920
we've got LGA 1150 for mainstream consumers and LGA 20113 for enthusiasts

28
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:17,599
with all CPUs on both sockets featuring the latest Haswell micro architecture

29
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:20,160
except now in addition to more PCI E gen

30
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:25,440
3 Lanes except the 5820k which actually gets fewer and quad Channel memory we

31
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,680
get support for ddr4 which means higher speed memory at lower voltages with

32
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:33,000
lower power consumption and higher capacities in the future Thunderbolt

33
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:40,400
expansion capability better base clock overclocking and every LGA 20113 CPU has

34
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,879
at least six processing cores and 12 threads with hyper threading with the

35
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:50,159
th000 extreme Edition featuring eight cores and 16 threads but before you get

36
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:56,319
too excited it's not all pure sunshine and rainbows on LGA 20113 there are no

37
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:59,000
core i5s so in terms of pricing Haswell

38
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:04,519
e Enthusiast grade chips start where regular Haswell well and Devil's Canyon

39
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:08,239
ones leave off at around $400 on top of

40
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:09,959
that x99 boards and the ddr4 to go with

41
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:13,440
them are more expensive as well due to the higher cost of the chipset more

42
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,440
complicated board design and the engineering costs associated with

43
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:20,480
bringing a new platform to Market and then for the RAM it's just in such low

44
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:25,200
volumes in terms of manufacturing that it tends to be very very expensive every

45
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:28,799
time we transition memory Technologies but you guys didn't watch this video to

46
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,519
hear all that boring oh it's expensive stuff so let's show off the hardware for

47
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:37,239
today's performance overview of the brand new high-end

48
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:42,040
5960x first up is the board ASUS sent over their creatively named x99 Deluxe

49
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:47,200
the followup to our favorite last gen board around here the x79 deluxe and it

50
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:53,040
comes with some serious upgrades first up is those ddr4 memory slots that

51
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:54,920
support up to 64 gigs of ddr4 and with

52
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,360
the right kit we've confirmed this with the 3 GHz high-speed g-skill memory kit

53
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:05,920
that we ran our performance numbers with up to to 3,000 MHz ddr4 with some

54
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:11,560
creative XMP implementation that actually uses the

55
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:14,120
125 base clock strap and lowers the CPU

56
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:18,799
multiplier but kept our system stable throughout benching somehow in spite of

57
00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:23,040
the slightly overclash CPU speed so there you go next we've got dramatically

58
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,199
improved storage capabilities the last gen board was stuck with only two native

59
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:33,120
SATA 3 ports and four with a Marvel controller well now we we get up to 12

60
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,880
with four of them capable of being used for up to two SATA Express 10 GB ports

61
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,840
and then on top of all that we get this fancy little bracket that allows an m.2

62
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:46,199
SSD to be installed that'll run at 10 gbit per second as well USB 3 has gotten

63
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:50,440
a significant upgrade as well with a total of 14 ports supported although I

64
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,479
personally wouldn't have minded seeing a couple of these replaced by a PS2 Port

65
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,400
some of us still like them um but since we're checking out the rear iio now

66
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:01,440
seems like a good time to mention the upgraded networking we've got better

67
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,759
better Intel networking now with slightly better performance lower CPU

68
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:09,320
utilization and more software prioritizations options we've also got

69
00:05:06,919 --> 00:05:14,479
three spatial stream onboard AC Wireless that boasts 1.3 GB per second maximum

70
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,759
theoretical bandwidth and then finally not related to networking but also on

71
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:20,840
the back panel we've got upgraded onboard audio that features some of the

72
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:25,400
same technology that we've become accustomed to seeing on Rog boards like

73
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:30,440
Amplified headphone output and audio grade capacitors and whatnot onto the

74
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:35,720
UEFI BIOS there's been an aesthetic and functional overhaul we get all the fancy

75
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:40,000
little features that z97 users have been enjoying like the configurable favorite

76
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,720
submenu simplified overclocking and raid setup and finally inbios temperature

77
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:49,160
sensor controlled fan curve configuration that can handle either DC

78
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,919
or pwm control on any fan header on the

79
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:56,479
board or the little Molex power daughter board that you can reposition and that

80
00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:00,400
acts as a controllable Fan Hub elsewhere in your system giving you up to eight

81
00:05:58,039 --> 00:06:03,560
controllable fans oh yeah and it looks pretty sweet too I guess with white

82
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:08,840
shielding on the io and a sexy matte black PCB this is a big improvement over

83
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:14,360
the last generation gold thing they had going on on to the CPU today we'll be

84
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:23,120
focused on the Big Kahuna the 5960x this is an 8 core mother of a chip

85
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,160
that comes clocked at really 3 GHz Bas

86
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,360
that's it I mean sure it's got 20 Megs of level three cach compared to 15 Megs

87
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:35,360
on the lower end chips and two full extra course but 3 GHz stock 3.5 GHz max

88
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:39,639
turbo am I supposed to be impressed not until we start overclocking it something

89
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:44,440
anyone buying themselves in extreme Edition owes it to themselves to do

90
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:51,080
overclocked we got our chip running at 4.35 gz effortlessly at which speed we

91
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:57,039
were even able to run our ddr4 RAM at 3,000 MHz and we've seen reports around

92
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,160
the web of 3.6 GHz even without pushing

93
00:06:57,039 --> 00:07:03,879
these things too hard on liquid cooling so so at that point is it fast well we

94
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:09,599
put it up against the consumer grade chip that has passed for highend up

95
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:12,000
until now the core i7 4790k to determine

96
00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:17,440
exactly what's up with this CPU when it comes to gaming performance well until

97
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:22,479
directx12 lands with its supposed dramatic improvements to multi-threading

98
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,560
supporting games I think aor might be a

99
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:29,599
bit overkill for normal Gamers and higher per core clock speeds will

100
00:07:26,919 --> 00:07:34,560
continue to be important but throw ing some of Ida 64's synthetic benchmarks at

101
00:07:32,039 --> 00:07:38,680
it reveals a different story and back to the real world when we start feeding it

102
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:44,520
some truly multithreading optimized workload such as file compression and 3D

103
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:47,280
rendering the 5960x reveals itself as

104
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:52,560
the true multi-threading Beast that it is in fact once overclocked it's really

105
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:58,720
not that far off the $25,000 last gen 12 core xon that we

106
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:02,479
just put in edel's machine for editing and 3D

107
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,479
rendering so that's it for the extreme Edition but don't worry we're going to

108
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:10,560
be doing lots more content around Intel's latest truly Enthusiast grade

109
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:15,159
platform but we want your feedback on what you want to see from us should we

110
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:20,000
take a deep dive into the 5820k performance which aside from 12 F PCI

111
00:08:18,159 --> 00:08:24,080
Express Lane seems to be the ultimate gamer and multitasker Sweet Spot should

112
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:28,120
we look into this new platform from a content creator perspective should we

113
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:33,440
quantify the real world difference between DDR3 and ddr4 in as close to an

114
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:38,320
Apple stles comparison as we can you let us know what kind of content we should

115
00:08:35,719 --> 00:08:42,519
make thanks for watching guys and a huge thanks to gkill who sponsored today's

116
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:47,519
episode and provided the brand spanking new rip Jaws 4 ddr4 RAM featured in the

117
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:51,240
video we've been using gskill RAM in our test benches for a long time now we

118
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:55,720
trust their products and we're extremely happy to finally be working with them

119
00:08:53,600 --> 00:09:00,760
from a sponsorship sort of level the specific kit that we showed off today is

120
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:04,120
a 4x4 gig 60 16 gig kit running at 3,000

121
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,880
MHz 1.35 Vol cl15 but they'll be

122
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:12,200
offering a very comprehensive lineup including a 16 kit gig kit that runs at

123
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:16,680
3200 MHz a 32 gig kit at 3,000 MHz and a

124
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:19,040
64 gig kit at 2800 MHz bananas G skill's

125
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:24,240
16 gig 3200 MHz kit actually holds the current ddr4 speed record at 404 MHz

126
00:09:22,079 --> 00:09:27,040
pretty darn fast for such a new platform anyway guys if you need some ddr4
