00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:16,800
hello my name is lonus Sebastian and I

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,920
have not been held captive at Intel's headquarters since releasing a video

3
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:29,519
stating I did not agree with Intel's direction for the x299

4
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:34,200
platform but if that were the case I'm

5
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:34,200
sure tell would have treated me very

6
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:40,760
well I would also like to go like to go

7
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:46,280
on record as stating that in reference to my statements in that video that

8
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:58,039
I that that I was that I stand by everything I

9
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,039
said I'm out of here I'm pting

10
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,920
out

11
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:14,320
Synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

12
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:16,920
at once check it out now at the link in the video

13
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:24,280
description okay so silly intro aside

14
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:29,079
obviously I have spoken to Intel since we made this video I've expressed my

15
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:33,320
concerns and you know what they're big boys and girls who can handle a bit of

16
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:39,320
constructive criticism so obviously we're still working together x299 then

17
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:45,479
let's do a short recap for those of you who didn't see our previous video

18
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,360
Intel's brand new core I 9 chips plug

19
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:55,920
into motherboards with a brand new LGA 2066 socket that's connected to a brand

20
00:01:51,759 --> 00:02:00,079
new chipset x299 that features more

21
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:04,200
updated IO more PCI Express Lanes and a

22
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:06,439
four-lane DMI 3.0 link ooh and finer

23
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:12,120
overclocking controls so pretty straightforward more and more better

24
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:17,760
what's less straightforward and how you take this is up to you is that the

25
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:22,640
socket now handles two separate

26
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:25,319
generations of CPUs the first Sky Lake X

27
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:32,319
is about what you would expect it's this year's Enthusiast grade High Core count

28
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:35,800
processor based on last year's quad core

29
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,640
Max consumer grade processor so we get

30
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:44,640
some fancy architectural improvements we get turbo boost max that bumps up two

31
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:49,319
cores instead of only one and finally

32
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:54,879
support for AVX 512 outside of

33
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:58,840
Zeon and the second is KB Lake X in an

34
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:01,400
attempt to appease hardcore overclockers

35
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:08,720
Intel based basically took their consumer grade kbl Lake chips disabled

36
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:12,040
their integrated Graphics processors and

37
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,319
glued them onto bigger packages with

38
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:20,640
better power delivery characteristics and bigger heat spreaders Intel hopes

39
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:27,599
that these chips will be a boon to folks who don't have $1,000 for a core I9

40
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:31,760
today but want to have a solid upgrade

41
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:35,439
path in the future for my part I feel

42
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:38,640
like only being able to populate half of

43
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:41,720
the RAM slots on a quad Channel board

44
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:46,319
and having PCI Express bandwidth

45
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:49,920
potentially cut to less than half is a

46
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:51,720
really confusing experience though I

47
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:58,439
would love to hear from you guys in the comments if you feel differ but wait

48
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:05,159
what less PCIe bandwidth I thought you said more okay

49
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:10,000
so for the topend core I9 we actually

50
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:12,280
get more than ever 44 versus 40 on the

51
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,959
previous Flagship 6950x where that potentially less than

52
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:21,680
half bit comes from is that anything

53
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:24,960
other than a core I9 gets far less as

54
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,440
few as only 16 which could affect the

55
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:34,759
performance of demanding Enthusiast features like SLI 10 gbit networking m.2

56
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:40,400
raid or Thunderbolt 3 and on the subject of m.2 raid it looks like vrock doesn't

57
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:46,720
have pricing yet and Intel actually isn't quite sure how they're going to roll that out but the good news is you

58
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:51,280
can boot from NVMe raid if it goes through the chipset without doing any of

59
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:57,360
that stuff it's only if it goes through the CPU that the vrock module is going

60
00:04:54,840 --> 00:05:03,960
to come into play so let's get into benchmarks then we uh

61
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:09,800
unfortunately didn't get a kbl lake X CPU in time for this video but we did

62
00:05:06,919 --> 00:05:17,440
get the 10 core core I9 7900x the least expensive option with

63
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:21,880
the full 44 PCI Express Lanes this along

64
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:25,160
with our Nifty AF ASUS Prime x299 Deluxe

65
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:28,240
some uh overclocking elbow grease all

66
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,720
X200 compatible chips are unlocked and

67
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:36,280
some validated memory from gskill gives us our main test bench today for

68
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:43,039
comparison we'll be looking at the z270 based core i7

69
00:05:38,039 --> 00:05:46,080
7700k our x99 bench featuring last gen's

70
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:48,720
much more expensive 10 core and while we

71
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:53,120
don't have Threadripper yet we've thrown AMD's ryzen 1800x into The Fray

72
00:05:52,199 --> 00:06:00,600
for comparison so in gaming there's clearly

73
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:07,720
no major difference between any of our CPUs at 4K 1080p tells a bit of a

74
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:14,199
different Tale But frankly none of this is a surprise clock speed is still King

75
00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:19,440
when it comes to games and until properly implemented Vulcan and

76
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:26,720
directx12 games are common place that isn't going to change anytime soon as

77
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:29,680
for productivity this is cool one

78
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:35,880
interesting aspect of Skylake X's design is that it moves from relying heavily on

79
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:39,120
a ton of level three cach to relying

80
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:42,240
more on its higher speed level two cache

81
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,919
so where Broadwell e had 256 kilobytes

82
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:50,280
of level two per core Skylake X has a whopping one Meg each and the level

83
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:55,919
three becomes what's known as a victim cache so where One Core might look for

84
00:06:53,560 --> 00:07:00,080
data in the level three find it isn't there but in another cor's level two

85
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:05,759
where it can then get push pushed to the level three cash that leaves the most

86
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,960
relevant cached data in the fastest cash

87
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:12,479
more often which results in some of the performance gains that we're seeing here

88
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:18,160
which is great given how core I 9 is intended to be used in everything from

89
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:23,639
high-end gaming rigs to high-end

90
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:27,000
workstations so core I9 7900x then great

91
00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:31,639
performance and compared to Broadwell e

92
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:35,319
great price great relief then right in a

93
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:38,160
vacuum yes but the elephant that hasn't

94
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:43,879
yet entered the room is AMD's Threadripper Intel is faced with the

95
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:47,479
disadvantage of having shot first with

96
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:50,319
x299 and AMD has some time to tweak

97
00:07:47,479 --> 00:07:57,720
their upcoming Threadripper CPU lineup which it said will be available with up

98
00:07:52,360 --> 00:08:01,240
to 16 cores and 64 PCI Lanes so they

99
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:06,520
could put the gears to Intel on pricing

100
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:09,080
at which time Intel whose 12 14 16 and

101
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:14,840
18 core models will be arriving between August and Q4 of this year will have to

102
00:08:12,039 --> 00:08:19,879
figure out how to respond if at all so you know what I am still

103
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:26,960
frustrated that it took Intel this long to wake up and I do still think that

104
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:32,479
this CPU lineup is unnecessarily confusing but whatever they're

105
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:37,599
motivation AMD's Innovation or their unconditional love for

106
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:40,320
enthusiasts it is true this is a great

107
00:08:37,599 --> 00:08:48,760
release because we're back to Intel and AMD playing Lea frog and that is just

108
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,040
great Synergy solves once and for all

109
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:56,640
the problem of having two keyboards and two mice at your desk it lets you share

110
00:08:53,680 --> 00:09:02,200
a single mouse and keyboard between two or more computers so you'll know no

111
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:08,079
longer confuse which one is for which you just move the mouse

112
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,440
across they offer a basic and pro option

113
00:09:08,079 --> 00:09:13,880
with onetime payment for Lifetime access and they have tons of great features

114
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,160
like clipboard sharing between the computers dragging and dropping files

115
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:22,040
between them the ability to set up hotkeys and even the ability to use

116
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:26,320
computers with different operating systems we're talking Windows we're

117
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:32,279
talking Mac we're even talking Linux so use our Link in the video description

118
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:34,920
and get50 50% off of synergy today or

119
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:38,760
tomorrow but don't wait too long so thanks for watching guys if this

120
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:42,040
video sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit that

121
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:46,079
like button and maybe check out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in

122
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,399
