1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,639
What you're seeing right now is five, count them, five instances of Cyberpunk

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:10,400
2077 running on one system. Eh, not that

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:16,560
impressive. But what if I told you that in the background we are also running

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:19,199
Cinebench and encoding our screen cap

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:25,680
using OBS and running this new fangled bonsai buddy. Holy this thing is

6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:31,119
absolutely incredible. And the craziest part is we're still getting playable

7
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:35,120
frame rates in all five of our Cyberpunk

8
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:38,640
instances. This is the power of AMD's

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:42,399
Threadripper Pro 9995WX.

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:47,120
It has 96 CPU cores that can run at up

11
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:49,680
to 5.4 GHz. It has 384 MGB of level 3

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:57,199
cache and with the click of a button, it can boost its default 350 W power draw

13
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:59,359
to over 800 watts. That is well beyond

14
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:04,000
the limits of even this water cooling solution. That's why we brought this

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:09,280
freshly repaired water chiller to explore the limits of the most

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,600
ridiculous desktop CPU on the planet and

17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:17,360
to see just how far we can push past them. The CPU is at 95°

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,240
and it's pulling 1,900 W. >> This is terrifying. But first, I had to

19
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:27,280
push past this segue to our sponsor, UG Green.

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:33,040
Their Mag Flow power bank supports 25 W T2 wireless charging and a strong Mag

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,880
Safe hold. It has a 10,000 mAh capacity

22
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,840
with the ability to charge up to three devices at once. Check it out using the

23
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,840
link in the video description. Before

24
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,560
we can break the performance limits of modern computing, we've got to know

25
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,960
exactly where they are. So, let's back up to just a few months ago when we

26
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:04,320
looked at AMD's topofthe-line Threadripper nonpro 9980X.

27
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:06,560
This 64 core monster, it turns out, was

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,039
just [snorts] the appetizer. This one is quite literally like putting one and a

29
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,280
half of these into the same motherboard socket. Or maybe a slightly different

30
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:19,120
motherboard socket if you want to get the most of it. More on that later.

31
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:24,400
First, let's take a look at the carrier vessel that Falcon Northwest sent over

32
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:31,360
for us to check it out in. This is the Falcon Northwest Talon. And oh my

33
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:34,319
tabernacle, is it ever gorgeous. They

34
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:40,480
did not have to do it up in this sick custom UV printed case inspired by our

35
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:43,120
UV reactive LAN collection ltstore.com.

36
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,720
But the Mad Lads did it anyway. And that is the least crazy thing about this

37
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,560
system. We're going to talk a lot about the Threadripper Pro 995WX and its

38
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,840
ludicrous 96 cores. But first, let's take a moment to admire the rest of this

39
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,840
build. Let's get this side panel. Oh wow.

40
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,920
I can't find anything solid enough to get it to make a metal sound, but

41
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:11,680
oo wow, that really hurt. Actually, that is a thick piece of aluminum. Damn. Wow,

42
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,840
that cable management. This is a 1600 W

43
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,680
power supply. And if you really look in there, there's lots of cables plugged

44
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,280
into it. They just do an incredible job of hiding them away. When I built a test

45
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:25,760
bench using the same platform, it looked like one of those Sentinel things from

46
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,440
the Matrix. The other side is no less

47
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:35,200
gorgeous. 128 gigs of DDR56400

48
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,599
ECC memory and has tripled in value

49
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,879
since Falcon sent us this system. And another big difference compared to your

50
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,720
system at home is these are running in a quad channel configuration rather than

51
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,560
dual channel which doubles their bandwidth. And if that sounded crazy,

52
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,799
wait till you see us running the Threadripper Pro in 8 channel. Wait, why

53
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:59,120
aren't we doing that now? It's because while the ASUS ProWS TRX50 Sage Wi-Fi

54
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:04,319
motherboard in here can work with both Threadripper and Threadripper Pro, its

55
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:07,519
feature set is more targeting regular Threadripper. If you want to get the

56
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:12,400
most out of a Threadripper Pro, you need a WRX90 motherboard. It has the

57
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:18,320
same physical socket, but a different chipset. More on that later. First,

58
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:24,080
we've got three 4 TBTE Kingston Fury Renegade PCIe Gen 5 SSDs in RAID zero. I

59
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,440
don't think Falcon would ever really recommend that. They were just showing

60
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:30,560
off on this system. And then for our GPU, we've got something that I've

61
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:37,068
actually never seen before. This is the RTX Pro 6000. Pretty much it's a Wolf in

62
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:39,360
Business Suit clothing. It's a 5090, but

63
00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:46,400
[music] instead of having 32 gigs of VRAM, it has 96 GB of VRAM. It also has

64
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,199
about 10% more CUDA cores, runs [music] faster, and all that memory is ECC. Kind

65
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:57,600
of want to do a full review of this thing. It's the kind of stuff NVIDIA just does not send out for evaluation

66
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,280
because if you need it, you have a team of people to evaluate hardware for you

67
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:06,000
and you pay for your evals until you reach an even bigger scale. Finally, for

68
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,639
cooling, it uses an AIO liquid cooler from Silverstone with a 280 mm radiator

69
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:14,160
and a custom CPU block that is specifically designed for Threadripper

70
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:18,400
processors. And at the default power profile, it does great as we're about to

71
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,639
see. But I think we're going to need more. Let's fire this thing up. Starting

72
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:27,039
with Blender Monster, where we got nearly 25% reduction in render times. I

73
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:32,320
mean, guys, look at this. This is not running on the GPU. That's insane. 52

74
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,400
1/2 seconds. That is over 10 seconds faster than the top-of-the-line Thread

75
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:41,280
Ripper nonpro. Look at this thing rip up threads like a pro. Or does it?

76
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:45,840
Cinebench. And actually, a lot of our benchmark numbers look dangerously close

77
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:50,160
to the same results we got with the 9980X.

78
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:56,240
You know, the [snorts] $5,000 processor, the one for nonprofessionals. Well, as

79
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:59,600
it turns out, that's kind of by design.

80
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:03,840
See, AMD allows you to put this bad boy

81
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,479
in a peasant consumer TRX50 motherboard,

82
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:13,199
but they don't really want you to. This is the ASUS ProWS WRX90E Sage SE and

83
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:19,120
it's the big brother to the motherboard that we used in our 9980X review. This

84
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:22,160
is possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. [music] In fairness to

85
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:26,240
me, it's been almost 10 years since my last child was born, so I can hardly remember how beautiful that was. The

86
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:31,520
first thing you might notice about this board is that flanking the CPU socket

87
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:33,919
are not four, but eight memory slots,

88
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,319
each running its own channel. That gives it up to four times the theoretical

89
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,759
bandwidth of a desktop dual channel motherboard. The next thing you might

90
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:47,360
notice is that it has a grand total of seven PCIe by 16 slots. But unlike your

91
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:52,479
typical gaming motherboard where those are going to be running at often lower

92
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:56,319
speeds or lower generations of PCIe,

93
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:58,720
every single one of these is gen 5 and

94
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:04,560
the full 16 lanes. So, you could literally put single slot water blocks

95
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,919
on seven GPUs in here. And I assume you

96
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:11,440
could because if you can afford this motherboard, you can afford seven GPUs,

97
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,199
too. Lucky you. Oh, man. The next thing

98
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,280
I was going to show you guys was all the M.2 slots, but I just cut my finger open

99
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:23,039
on the IO, so I guess we'll move over there. Oh,

100
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:27,759
buddy. One lonely USB 2 is accompanied

101
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:30,880
by a whopping six USB 10 gig ports, two

102
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:33,360
USB 440 gig ports with DisplayPort

103
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:38,479
injection, dual 10 gig networking ports with a gigabit management port, and look

104
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,919
at that convenient little clear seamos button right on the back. I'm going to

105
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:47,520
need that band-aid now. Thank you. Damn it. And if you thought we were done with

106
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:50,960
Crazy IO, check this out. Every one of

107
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:53,039
these M.2 two slots is also at Gen 5.

108
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,879
And because they just had extra lanes and no idea what to do with them, we've

109
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:02,879
got a couple of slim SAS ports that are also Gen 4x4 each. Next to the 24 pin

110
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:08,879
motherboard power connector, you will find two additional PCIe 8 pin

111
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:12,479
connectors. Those are to provide extra power in case you actually load this

112
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:17,759
thing up with PCIe cards. Then at the top, things get even more nuts because

113
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:23,680
there's not one, not two, not three, but four power plugs for the CPU. Two normal

114
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:30,879
CPU EPS connectors, and the other two PCIe 8 pin again. All for this bad boy.

115
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:34,159
But it's only 350 W. Why could it possibly need all of that? Because once

116
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:37,360
we unlock it, it'll be a lot more than 350 watts. That's why. How much is that

117
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:42,880
worth these days? >> When I wrote the script, it was 6,000. When we started shooting, it was 10,000.

118
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:49,120
And now it's $17,000 of RAM. 1 TB DDDR5 ECC 5600 mega

119
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:54,000
transfers per second. The crazy part is this isn't even cutting edge speed. This

120
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:58,000
is like last gen speed. So we're not even quite getting the most out of this

121
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:04,080
CPU. But when we asked someone to send us over even a loner of modern RAM to

122
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,760
put in it, they laughed. Yeah. All

123
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:09,440
right. Here we go. If I don't do it right, it'll bite me again. So, >> do you want more goop?

124
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,760
>> Yeah, I'll take a little bit more goop. No keyboard detected. Now, please press

125
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,560
F1 to continue. You American Mega Trends. Here we go. Royce,

126
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:22,560
>> I like this. If we go into Ryzen master and we hit apply on the overclock 350 W

127
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:26,560
to 2,000 watt power limit. >> Uh, that would not work with that pitily

128
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:29,519
triple radiator. We're not even going to try running it at stock. Well, I mean, we ran it at stock in the other one.

129
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:35,040
Yeah. >> But did you guys get numbers for how it runs at stock? Just having 8 channel

130
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:38,720
memory instead of quad channel? >> Yes. And you'll see massive improvements

131
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:42,800
in memorybound benchmarks, things like sevenzip or even like Yuncher if you

132
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:47,040
have to load in a bunch of stuff, >> right? >> Because you have that nearly double the

133
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,240
bandwidth. Even with the slower, higher latency RAM in here, there's still a

134
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:59,920
massive increase in throughput just due to eight channels. >> But we want more. Do,000 watts there.

135
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:01,440
>> Oh my god, that's insane. And then it

136
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:07,440
flips once it gets past >> 1,000. It goes, nope. It just errored

137
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:12,640
out. Also, 38.82 seconds. Did we hit 90° on a water

138
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:18,160
cooler? The water's heating up that fast. Yeah. Right. Because the pump

139
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:21,600
speed is the same, which means that from one run to the next, the load is the

140
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:26,720
same and the pump speed is the same. So, if it's running 3 4° hotter, that means

141
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:30,000
the water is 3 4° hotter, which kind of makes sense because this is not that

142
00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:35,120
much water. Okay, how about Cinebench? We're idling at 40 now. That's how much

143
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:40,240
hotter our water is. It's gone up like 7 degrees since we've been sitting here.

144
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:43,680
>> We're also idling at 122 watts on the

145
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,959
CPU, which to be clear is the TDP of a

146
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:47,760
9800 X3D. >> Yeah. >> What score are we trying to beat here?

147
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,959
>> Running stock. >> Okay. >> So, that's 7,387.

148
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:59,519
>> I feel like we're going to beat that. What would a Threadripper nonpro hit?

149
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:01,760
>> Threadripper nonpro hits 6,671.

150
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:06,640
Okay, I can already tell that this is insane how fast those boxes are

151
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:10,880
finishing. This is crazy. >> Yeah, this like usually takes like maybe

152
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,000
10 minutes on like a consumer CPU to finish this one image.

153
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:19,120
>> This is going to finish in less than a minute. Does AMD ever get tired of

154
00:11:16,079 --> 00:11:23,519
winning? 8727.

155
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:25,680
Just shy of 9,000 points. That's clears

156
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:30,000
it by a ton. That's almost like a quarter better. It's more than 20%

157
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:33,600
better over 350 W. You're paying a lot for the power to do that.

158
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:39,279
>> You can afford it. [laughter] Have we told them how much the CPU costs yet?

159
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:40,959
>> 13Kish. Okay. Our top one is 94°. Okay.

160
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:46,720
What frequency are we? You've got to be kidding me. It's running at 4.8 GHz

161
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:51,040
across the board. Oh, Cinebench isn't even that heavy of a load. Evidently,

162
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,000
just shy of 800 W. Do you think it could do more? Oh, with better cooling.

163
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:58,560
>> Yeah, >> I feel like we've got to be capped here. Let's do 7zip cuz that's going to

164
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:03,920
benefit from both the increased power to the CPU and the increased RAM.

165
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:07,360
>> 128 out of 192. Am I reading this right?

166
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,800
11 12 1/2 GB per second. [laughter]

167
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,519
>> Yeah, that's the decompression rate. Let's go to 13. It's kind of fluctuating

168
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:17,200
up, so it could be high. >> By the time it finishes the test, it settles in at about 11 1/2 each time.

169
00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:19,279
>> Compare that to the quad channel memory. >> We're more than double.

170
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,519
>> More than double. >> I knew file decompression was memory

171
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:26,880
limited, but that much? >> Yeah. >> Oh my god. And what about the

172
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,600
compression? How are we doing there? >> 600 megabytes a second.

173
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,839
>> 600. >> 600. Yeah. >> Compared to the 9980X almost actually

174
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:42,320
50% faster. >> So, we're getting the full benefit of those cores. Like full benefit. How do

175
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:44,480
they build this? AMD TSMC tour. Maybe

176
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:48,639
talk to your buds, get it arranged. We'd love to do it. How are we doing this

177
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:52,240
with only 128 threads, though? It's not even using all of the CPU cores. It's

178
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:55,680
just all the extra memory bandwidth. I guess the me memory bandwidth and the

179
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:59,200
extra clock speeds. I guess we got room to breathe, assuming we got room to

180
00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:03,680
cool. All right, let's do it. Let's hook up the chiller. Go, Bruce. Chillis, it's

181
00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:08,160
been a while. It's set to 5° C, which is probably a little low if we're trying to

182
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:13,519
avoid condensation. We haven't insulated the board in any way. So, why don't we

183
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:17,440
start around 14? Oh, we already overshot

184
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:19,040
it. Brilliant. Good job, Bruce. Bruce,

185
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,839
uh, is that on? >> Yeah. Okay, because we're going to need

186
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:25,440
to start putting some heat into this thing. You need to calm down.

187
00:13:23,839 --> 00:13:28,880
>> Okay, let's just do Cinebench for now. I don't know if we're going to get any more speed out of it.

188
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,720
>> Not without actually changing the CPU multiplier, I don't think.

189
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:35,920
>> Yeah. >> And every single core is pinned at 4.8

190
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:41,360
GHz. And now that our coolant temperature is under control, we're

191
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,600
peaking at 51°.

192
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:48,160
Isn't it crazy to imagine that you have 500 amps and 800 watts going through

193
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:51,360
those tiny little pins on the back of the CPU? Bring back the blender. Oh,

194
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,200
wait. Did we get a score? >> 8311. Not as not as good. You know what

195
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,440
was hurting our scores though that I forgot? Cuz I got higher scores without it. We were OBS. Screen cap was hurting

196
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:05,120
our scores a little bit. >> We're using the GPU for the screen recording though, right?

197
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,800
>> It's still does distract your CPU a

198
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:11,440
little bit. 3825. So, we are getting full performance in Blender.

199
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,839
>> Yep. And we peaked at,30 watts. Oh, what

200
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:17,360
was our peak temps there? 74 was our hottest. >> Let's go for smart clock speed. Let's

201
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:21,040
turn off OBS so we don't have anything running in the background to the BIOS

202
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:26,000
copter. Ah, the BIOS. Tweakers paradise they

203
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:31,360
used to call it. They still call it that. Apparently they do. It's still

204
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,120
there. That's great. Now look, a

205
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:37,600
platform like this is going to have all kinds of arcane voltages and settings

206
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:41,199
that you can play around with to get the absolute most out of them. But today,

207
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:45,680
we're not getting into any of that. So, we're going to be laser focused on just

208
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:51,120
a handful of settings. Our CPU core ratio we're going to set to almost

209
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:56,160
exactly 50, just a little bit over. And we are going to disable any VRM

210
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,279
throttling and peak current control.

211
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,480
We're going to give this thing as much current as it could possibly ask for.

212
00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:05,279
>> Oh, and we're going to change the thermal limit. >> Ah, yes. Usually at 90, we're going to

213
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,560
bump it up to 110. >> You hooked up a second power supply.

214
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:12,480
>> Uh, wait, no, >> no, you didn't. >> This was just in case we wanted to game

215
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:14,880
on it. I don't think the CPU could handle the slight voltage difference if

216
00:15:13,839 --> 00:15:17,839
they were both hooked up to two different power supplies. >> No, but we could hook the second one up

217
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:22,399
to the GPU. >> That's the plan. >> Oh, yeah. I'm ready.

218
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:27,519
>> Jumper to 20°. >> Oh god. >> 300 1,000.

219
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,880
>> We're still at 1100 watts. I thought we were going to get more power.

220
00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:36,720
>> Yeah. Well, Cinebench isn't really that hard to run, apparently. 8242,

221
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:41,120
>> but that's not as fast as the other one we did. If you want something that's going to hit it way harder and might

222
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,959
show will show a better improvement. We could probably see that in Blender because that was the other one that

223
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:51,920
benefited the most from PBO. >> We're only going to get a benefit here on loads that can't take advantage of a

224
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:58,079
few cores boosting up even higher. >> Exactly. >> So, the way we've tuned it now is really

225
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,680
only useful for multi multi-threaded

226
00:15:58,079 --> 00:16:02,639
workloads, which I mean I thought Cinebench was one, but I guess you just

227
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:06,320
don't have enough threads for me, Cinebench. Okay, let's see how Blender

228
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,720
does. Our time to beat for Blender is 39. >> All right. Are you ready?

229
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:14,000
>> Yeah. >> The CPU is at 95°

230
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:18,000
>> and it's pulling 1,900 W. >> This is terrifying. Did you say we're in

231
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:21,759
a 1,600 W power supply? >> Yeah. >> I mean, we're well beyond the measurable

232
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:27,040
range for CPU package power. That just doesn't work. >> So, the only prescribed limit right now

233
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:30,800
in the BIOS is 2,000 W. >> 35.88.

234
00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:34,880
>> 10% would be about 4 seconds. That's about a 10% improvement. If we pull up

235
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,880
something more aggressive like Prime 95 though, we will find that we're

236
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:42,279
thermally constrained. >> Will we? >> Yes. Or maybe even power constraint.

237
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,279
>> Will we?

238
00:16:42,959 --> 00:16:48,000
And there it goes. >> Yeah. Yeah. Just fully rebooted. >> Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That makes sense.

239
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:52,399
>> I'm amazed that at no point did our power supply trip >> and our breaker for that matter.

240
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,440
>> If we're going to want to run a game, it might be in our best interest to use a

241
00:16:54,079 --> 00:17:00,639
second power supply for that guy. >> Okay, cool. Brilliant. So, we could fire

242
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:07,520
up Cyberpunk, but I think the game everyone wants to know about is City

243
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:12,079
Skylines 2. Can the Threadripper 9995WX

244
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:15,919
finally tame this hot pile of City? 500

245
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:20,151
watts in City Skylines 2. Hottest is 90

246
00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:21,360
85° C. We're using 3% of our memory,

247
00:17:20,151 --> 00:17:26,880
[laughter] >> but somehow 26% of our CPU and it's

248
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,760
still chugging. This isn't even that big of a city. Have they still not fixed

249
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:37,120
this thing? >> No. This game like it's just impossible to run because it's so broken at a core

250
00:17:33,919 --> 00:17:38,799
level like me that um it'll just never

251
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:43,120
really work properly. Like this is not even high graphics settings.

252
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:47,360
>> We're running at 1080p. This is the most powerful computer. It just doesn't

253
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:51,760
matter when the the game is the bottleneck. Cyberpunk theoretically,

254
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,520
right? If you're not familiar with this card, it's possible that NVIDIA's

255
00:17:53,679 --> 00:18:00,240
professional drivers, they just ain't that good at gaming. So, let's see. That

256
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,600
ray trace lighting though, boys, >> that looks great.

257
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,720
>> That does look great. >> 90 FPS.

258
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:10,160
>> Oh god, he [laughter] officer. >> Officer, he jumped right in front of my

259
00:18:09,919 --> 00:18:15,840
car. >> You are the police. You don't have to worry. >> That was not my fault. >> It's 100% legal. Just run him over and

260
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,240
make sure he can't he can't testify against you.

261
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:26,400
In conclusion, this thing is a next level beast. So powerful that we

262
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:31,039
struggled to find benchmarks that could even use all of its cores while still

263
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:35,840
being relatable to consumers in any way. But spending more on our computer

264
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:39,679
doesn't necessarily make for a smoother experience. We had issues with

265
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:45,520
motherboards, with the RAM controller, with PBO performance optimization. See,

266
00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:51,840
the core problem here is that both HDT or high-end desktop and workstation are

267
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:55,600
relatively small niches of hardcore compute folks, folks who are going to be

268
00:18:53,760 --> 00:19:01,679
expected to go and chase support from the system integrator or the V who

269
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:04,000
provided their equipment. So, yeah, it's

270
00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:08,320
a bummer that enthusiasts can't buy these Threadripper Pro chips from

271
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:12,400
official sources. But even if they could, it'd be hard to recommend them to

272
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:18,480
anyone who isn't making copious amounts of money with their PC. So, it's time

273
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:25,280
for the uncomfortable conversation if you missed it earlier. This chip goes

274
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,600
for somewhere around $12,000

275
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:32,160
if you can find a source for it, which AMD will not give you officially. You

276
00:19:29,679 --> 00:19:36,640
add a terabyte of RAM for another 10 grand plus. I mean, who knows what's

277
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:42,480
going on with that. and I don't know, a couple of pro NVIDIA GPUs for 10gs plus

278
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:48,320
a pop and all of a sudden a WRX automobile starts to look more practical

279
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:50,400
than a WRX computer. But for the folks

280
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:54,640
who need this kind of performance, like you're a university or an engineering

281
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:58,880
lab and you need to run simulations, sure, you could book access to the

282
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,320
supercomput or you could have 25 meetings to get a server in the

283
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:08,080
university rack. Or you could just have one meeting, get this thick boy in your

284
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,559
lab, and let her rip. Now it's time for

285
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:14,240
a thick segue to our sponsor, MicroEnter. Just when you thought they

286
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:18,240
were out of Black Friday, Cyber Monday deals, they pull you right back in. All

287
00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:23,120
throughout December, they'll be offering deep discounts on a wide range of

288
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:27,200
products. We're talking CPUs, GPUs, and maybe some other PUS that definitely

289
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:31,039
don't stink either. Make sure you stop by your local MicroEnter to browse their

290
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:35,280
deals. the folks over at Phoenix did at their newest location, which by the way

291
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:39,840
had a massively successful grand opening. Oh, and speaking about

292
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:44,559
browsing, you can even check out posts and articles on new and exciting

293
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:48,000
techreated topics over at their MC news page. So, click our link in the

description to see what's on sale today and grab yourself something nice before

295
00:20:49,919 --> 00:20:56,480
time runs out. If you guys enjoyed this video, why not check out the time we

296
00:20:53,679 --> 00:21:02,159
looked at the slightly more attainable Threadripper Nonpro 9980X.

297
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,200
It's only got 64 cores, though, so I don't even know if it'll excite
