WEBVTT

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:24.039
oh I just sat through over three hours

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:28.720
of AMD presentations and what do I have to show

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:34.239
for it well we know it'll be available starting 2:22 2017 which is today and

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:39.360
that performance will be competitive with Intel's core i7 lineup but as we've

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:48.079
been saying for so long that means nothing if it's priced the same so is it

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:51.360
well as it stands today AMD ryzen looks

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:54.840
poised to deliver top shelf performance

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:58.920
and do so at an incredibly disruptive

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.710
price so let's have a closer

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:08.040
look

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:16.080
so we'll start by talking about the lineup all the general stuff we confirmed back at CES is still true dual

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:20.520
Channel memory overclockable across the board assuming you've got a motherboard

00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:26.159
chipset that supports it and 24 PCIe Lanes but we have a ton more details now

00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:31.600
so at the top of the product stack is the ryzen 7

00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:34.240
1800x this is an 8 core 16 thread

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:41.479
processor okay that we knew before but now we know clock speeds it runs at 3.6

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:44.759
to 4 GHz though it'll actually boost up

00:01:41.479 --> 00:01:47.000
to 4.1 with what they're calling xfr or

00:01:44.759 --> 00:01:53.479
extended frequency range assuming you've got the cooling horses for it and it is

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.000
coming in at a tiny well okay it's still

00:01:53.479 --> 00:02:04.640
expensive but $4.99 AMD is positioning this a 95 wat

00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:06.320
500 part up against Intel's 130 wat

00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:11.239
$1,000 6900k though as usual the

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.360
top-of-the-line part isn't necessarily the most compelling and things get even

00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:24.120
more interesting as we work our way down the stack so behind me here is the 1700

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:26.519
x it still gets the X for like X Factor

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:31.120
so it's a 95 watt part you should expect better overclocking out of it compared

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:37.560
to a non-x part and it still features their extended frequency range so it

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:39.959
runs from 3.4 to 3.8 or 3.9 with

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:47.680
appropriate cooling it's still got eight cores it's still got 16 threads and it

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:51.280
does all of this priced at $3.99 which

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.640
puts it competitive with the

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:58.120
6800k which is actually the demo that they have behind

00:02:55.519 --> 00:03:02.599
us before we do the demos we've got to introduce the good

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:10.319
member of this good better best product stack this is the ryzen

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:13.040
7700 this guy is a little bit unique you

00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:18.280
still get eight cores you still get 16 threads but now we're talking

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:22.760
significantly lower clock speeds 3 GHz

00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:26.360
base up to 3.7 GHz boost and you get a

00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:29.360
significantly lower TDP 65 Watts making

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:30.480
this the lowest rated 8 core desktop

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:37.000
processor on the market and you will be doing this

00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:38.319
at a slightly lower price $329 compared

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:44.560
to a 7700k so that would be a quad core eight

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:51.439
thread processor that it's going up against but come on lonus enough

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:53.400
spreadsheets show us show us so uh they

00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:57.000
gave us access to their cine bench demo unsupervised which was unwise of them

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:01.519
let's go ahead and run that while I explain what's going on behind me so we

00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:08.079
have a ryzen 7 1800x remember that's the topof the line one $499 with 16 gigs of

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:09.159
RAM on some validation board then over

00:04:08.079 --> 00:04:14.319
on the other side they've got the hardware right here we can see it we've

00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:16.199
got a 6900k running with 32 gigs of

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:20.840
Corsair Dominator platinum on an ASUS Rog board so they really couldn't give

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:25.240
it much more of an advantage and then we're running cin bench with

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:31.520
multi-threading enabled and the results are in so right here here's the

00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:33.560
6900k can actually see okay nothing's

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:41.759
disabled 1479 and over here is the ryzen 7 Zedd

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:44.960
3601 B it's an engineering sample but

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:49.440
whatever what it's a ryzen 7 1800

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:51.400
x600 marks at half the price now

00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:55.560
obviously this isn't the whole story when it comes to CPU performance but it

00:04:53.240 --> 00:05:00.120
is definitely an impressive demo though not as impressive as this one I'm going

00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:04.280
to press this big red button which has been beckoning at me since I pressed it

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:10.960
five minutes ago and I'm starting what AMD is calling

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:13.720
their megat tasking demo which is a

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:18.759
combination of blender and handbreak designed to test the multitasking of

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:22.600
these CPUs although I believe megat tasking was like an AMD TM thing that

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:27.680
they were using back when they were marketing I think it was Tri cores or

00:05:25.479 --> 00:05:32.720
six cores or something like that against Intel's quad cores and dual cores anyway

00:05:30.440 --> 00:05:37.440
all that's ancient history at this point the point of the demo is that we are

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:42.080
timing how long it takes to run this octane demo and this hand breing code

00:05:40.440 --> 00:05:47.600
that you can see here is running in the background on these two systems so

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:52.960
they've put the 1700x remember this is the 399 8 core 16 thread up against

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:57.919
Intel's core i7 6800k once again the systems are similar

00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:04.120
though AMD has for whatever reason kneecapped themselves with 16 gigs of

00:06:00.039 --> 00:06:07.800
ddr4 versus Intel's 32 gigs of

00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.960
ddr4 and now I just have an awful lot of

00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:14.160
time to kill so I will use this opportunity to talk about how they have

00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:18.720
a lot of cool systems here on display from all of their Partners this could be

00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:24.199
one of the most complete AMD ecosystem launches that that we have ever seen I

00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:29.840
think they're saying something along the lines of 82 motherboards available at

00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:34.080
launch with more to come and I think it 18 system integrators that are going to

00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:39.039
have systems ready to go at launch it seems like there's a lot of confidence

00:06:35.919 --> 00:06:41.440
in the am4 platform while the AMD

00:06:39.039 --> 00:06:45.160
system's done maybe we could just like time lapse

00:06:44.039 --> 00:06:51.400
through this so people know we aren't faking it there we go okay so 91.6

00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:57.720
seconds versus 112.1 seconds I mean none of this should

00:06:54.639 --> 00:07:00.240
be that surprising from a Pure

00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:07.160
Performance numbers stand point I mean we're looking at an 8 core 16 thread

00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:09.720
processor versus a 6 core 12 thread

00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:14.039
processor but AMD is not designing this test to be fair in terms of core count

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:22.680
to core count they're designing it around pricing this chip on the right

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:22.680
costs less than this chip on the left

00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:28.960
really yeah wait

00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:36.240
oh you were in the same presentation I was leading us finally to what may be

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:39.840
the most disruptive skew of all the 1700

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:42.759
so this one is as I said before $329

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:48.800
putting it around the same price as a 7700k and you can see right here they've

00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:54.919
got two demo systems running again side by side with a ryzen 7 17008 core and a

00:07:53.720 --> 00:08:01.159
core i7 7700k and they're playing Dota 2 while

00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:03.080
streaming using obs at the same settings

00:08:01.159 --> 00:08:07.520
they really let us get a lot closer to the demos here so we're able to validate

00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:12.680
all of this stuff ourselves and demonstrating how and I had been asking

00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:17.879
for this for many generations why is the mainstream still limited to quad core so

00:08:15.400 --> 00:08:23.280
they're showing us how more cores can benefit a multi-threaded workload even

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:30.479
for gamers so the core i77700k stream drops frames while the

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:32.919
1700 stream does not

00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:37.680
this last demo Battlefield 1 at 4K is actually one we've seen before sort of

00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:42.839
we've had some of the blanks filled in this time so we already knew that ryzen

00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:49.279
unnamed was up against a 6800k with ddr4 memory and dual Titan

00:08:46.920 --> 00:08:53.519
XPS and SLI but what we didn't know was exactly what that ryzen chip was or what

00:08:51.480 --> 00:09:00.079
speed it was running at so now we know it is actually their lowest tier ryzen

00:08:56.959 --> 00:09:01.920
7700 that's the 65 watt part

00:09:00.079 --> 00:09:08.440
and we know that it runs at anywhere from 3 GHz to 3.7 GHz in this case it's

00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:10.279
running at about 3.65 which might tell

00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:17.600
us something interesting about the granularity of the way that ryzen

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:19.720
boosts anyway back to the game the other

00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:25.600
key difference between then and now is that AMD has their boost technology

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:28.160
working so while at CES frame rates were

00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:31.560
the same to within a frame or three now here we are looking at EX exactly the

00:09:29.880 --> 00:09:38.560
same starting scene driving our tank exactly the same way and ryzen 7700 has

00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.120
a clear performance advantage and a

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:45.040
significant one now to be fair AMD is picking their battle somewhat here they

00:09:43.160 --> 00:09:50.200
could have put it up against the much more similarly priced

00:09:47.079 --> 00:09:52.880
7700k which due to its higher frequency

00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:58.040
is in most cases a better gaming CPU than a COR i7

00:09:54.880 --> 00:10:00.000
6800k but there's no denying here that

00:09:58.040 --> 00:10:06.399
there's a compelling value case to be made for this chip that outperforms a

00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:08.360
6800k at about $100 less so all that's

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:12.959
fine in good line is this is the kind of CPU that we can have 4.8 billion

00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:18.560
transistors 2 kilometers of signal wiring if we're not concerned about

00:10:15.079 --> 00:10:20.279
putting Graphics processors inside them

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:30.279
but you've left out the most important part does it have RGB and the answer is

00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:32.320
yes you are looking at an RGB AMD St

00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:34.800
