00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:16.800
hello my name is lonus Sebastian and I

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:21.920
have not been held captive at Intel's headquarters since releasing a video

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:29.519
stating I did not agree with Intel's direction for the x299

00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:34.200
platform but if that were the case I'm

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.200
sure tell would have treated me very

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:40.760
well I would also like to go like to go

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:46.280
on record as stating that in reference to my statements in that video that

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:58.039
I that that I was that I stand by everything I

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:58.039
said I'm out of here I'm pting

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.920
out

00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:14.320
Synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:16.920
at once check it out now at the link in the video

00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:24.280
description okay so silly intro aside

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:29.079
obviously I have spoken to Intel since we made this video I've expressed my

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

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:39.320
constructive criticism so obviously we're still working together x299 then

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

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:48.360
Intel's brand new core I 9 chips plug

00:01:45.479 --> 00:01:55.920
into motherboards with a brand new LGA 2066 socket that's connected to a brand

00:01:51.759 --> 00:02:00.079
new chipset x299 that features more

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:04.200
updated IO more PCI Express Lanes and a

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:06.439
four-lane DMI 3.0 link ooh and finer

00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:12.120
overclocking controls so pretty straightforward more and more better

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:17.760
what's less straightforward and how you take this is up to you is that the

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:22.640
socket now handles two separate

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:25.319
generations of CPUs the first Sky Lake X

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:32.319
is about what you would expect it's this year's Enthusiast grade High Core count

00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:35.800
processor based on last year's quad core

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.640
Max consumer grade processor so we get

00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:44.640
some fancy architectural improvements we get turbo boost max that bumps up two

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:49.319
cores instead of only one and finally

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:54.879
support for AVX 512 outside of

00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:58.840
Zeon and the second is KB Lake X in an

00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:01.400
attempt to appease hardcore overclockers

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:08.720
Intel based basically took their consumer grade kbl Lake chips disabled

00:03:05.720 --> 00:03:12.040
their integrated Graphics processors and

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:14.319
glued them onto bigger packages with

00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:20.640
better power delivery characteristics and bigger heat spreaders Intel hopes

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

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:31.760
today but want to have a solid upgrade

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:35.439
path in the future for my part I feel

00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:38.640
like only being able to populate half of

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:41.720
the RAM slots on a quad Channel board

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:46.319
and having PCI Express bandwidth

00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:49.920
potentially cut to less than half is a

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.720
really confusing experience though I

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:58.439
would love to hear from you guys in the comments if you feel differ but wait

00:03:55.720 --> 00:04:05.159
what less PCIe bandwidth I thought you said more okay

00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:10.000
so for the topend core I9 we actually

00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:12.280
get more than ever 44 versus 40 on the

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:17.959
previous Flagship 6950x where that potentially less than

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:21.680
half bit comes from is that anything

00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:24.960
other than a core I9 gets far less as

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.440
few as only 16 which could affect the

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:34.759
performance of demanding Enthusiast features like SLI 10 gbit networking m.2

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

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

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:51.280
can boot from NVMe raid if it goes through the chipset without doing any of

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

00:04:54.840 --> 00:05:03.960
to come into play so let's get into benchmarks then we uh

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

00:05:06.919 --> 00:05:17.440
get the 10 core core I9 7900x the least expensive option with

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:21.880
the full 44 PCI Express Lanes this along

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:25.160
with our Nifty AF ASUS Prime x299 Deluxe

00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:28.240
some uh overclocking elbow grease all

00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:30.720
X200 compatible chips are unlocked and

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:36.280
some validated memory from gskill gives us our main test bench today for

00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:43.039
comparison we'll be looking at the z270 based core i7

00:05:38.039 --> 00:05:46.080
7700k our x99 bench featuring last gen's

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:48.720
much more expensive 10 core and while we

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:53.120
don't have Threadripper yet we've thrown AMD's ryzen 1800x into The Fray

00:05:52.199 --> 00:06:00.600
for comparison so in gaming there's clearly

00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:07.720
no major difference between any of our CPUs at 4K 1080p tells a bit of a

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:14.199
different Tale But frankly none of this is a surprise clock speed is still King

00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:19.440
when it comes to games and until properly implemented Vulcan and

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:26.720
directx12 games are common place that isn't going to change anytime soon as

00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:29.680
for productivity this is cool one

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:35.880
interesting aspect of Skylake X's design is that it moves from relying heavily on

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:39.120
a ton of level three cach to relying

00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:42.240
more on its higher speed level two cache

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:44.919
so where Broadwell e had 256 kilobytes

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:50.280
of level two per core Skylake X has a whopping one Meg each and the level

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:55.919
three becomes what's known as a victim cache so where One Core might look for

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

00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:05.759
where it can then get push pushed to the level three cash that leaves the most

00:07:02.440 --> 00:07:07.960
relevant cached data in the fastest cash

00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:12.479
more often which results in some of the performance gains that we're seeing here

00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:18.160
which is great given how core I 9 is intended to be used in everything from

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:23.639
high-end gaming rigs to high-end

00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:27.000
workstations so core I9 7900x then great

00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:31.639
performance and compared to Broadwell e

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:35.319
great price great relief then right in a

00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:38.160
vacuum yes but the elephant that hasn't

00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:43.879
yet entered the room is AMD's Threadripper Intel is faced with the

00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:47.479
disadvantage of having shot first with

00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:50.319
x299 and AMD has some time to tweak

00:07:47.479 --> 00:07:57.720
their upcoming Threadripper CPU lineup which it said will be available with up

00:07:52.360 --> 00:08:01.240
to 16 cores and 64 PCI Lanes so they

00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:06.520
could put the gears to Intel on pricing

00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:09.080
at which time Intel whose 12 14 16 and

00:08:06.520 --> 00:08:14.840
18 core models will be arriving between August and Q4 of this year will have to

00:08:12.039 --> 00:08:19.879
figure out how to respond if at all so you know what I am still

00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:26.960
frustrated that it took Intel this long to wake up and I do still think that

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:32.479
this CPU lineup is unnecessarily confusing but whatever they're

00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:37.599
motivation AMD's Innovation or their unconditional love for

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:40.320
enthusiasts it is true this is a great

00:08:37.599 --> 00:08:48.760
release because we're back to Intel and AMD playing Lea frog and that is just

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:51.040
great Synergy solves once and for all

00:08:48.760 --> 00:08:56.640
the problem of having two keyboards and two mice at your desk it lets you share

00:08:53.680 --> 00:09:02.200
a single mouse and keyboard between two or more computers so you'll know no

00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:08.079
longer confuse which one is for which you just move the mouse

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:10.440
across they offer a basic and pro option

00:09:08.079 --> 00:09:13.880
with onetime payment for Lifetime access and they have tons of great features

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:17.160
like clipboard sharing between the computers dragging and dropping files

00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:22.040
between them the ability to set up hotkeys and even the ability to use

00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:26.320
computers with different operating systems we're talking Windows we're

00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:32.279
talking Mac we're even talking Linux so use our Link in the video description

00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:34.920
and get50 50% off of synergy today or

00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:38.760
tomorrow but don't wait too long so thanks for watching guys if this

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:42.040
video sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit that

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

00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:49.399
