1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,720
While most of the hype in the CPU world right now is centered around AMD's

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:11,840
upcoming ryzen release Intel has no plans to take that lying down and has

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:16,200
just unveiled their seventh generation core processors for desktop code name

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:21,149
kbl

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,199
Lake evga's dg-87 full tower case

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:34,520
features optimized airf flow pathing to help keep your Hardware cool check it

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:40,320
out at the link in the video description they claim to be taking Computing to the

8
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:42,320
next level but I'm pretty sure marketing

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:48,160
guys would just get fired if they don't say that kind of stuff only performance

10
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,640
will tell whether a shiny new KB Lake will be worth 350 of your hard-earned

11
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:58,079
dollars we'll be looking at Intel's newest consumer grade Flagship the core

12
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:03,160
i77700 K and if you think that just means the usual features you know quad

13
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:10,320
core hyperthreading and overclockability on Z series chipsets well Sarah you'd be

14
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:12,560
100% correct out of the box there's a

15
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:18,320
bump on the clock speed compared to its Skylake predecessor the 6700k and you

16
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:23,960
also get Intel HD graphics 630 as opposed to 530 though if you spend this

17
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:29,200
kind of money on a high-end i7 you're probably using discret Graphics from the

18
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:34,000
likes of NVIDIA or AMD anyways so to find the differences we clearly need to

19
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:40,439
dig a bit deeper there doesn't seem to be much else on paper to separate these

20
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:43,880
chips they have the same TDP of 91 Watts

21
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:47,119
the same 16 P Lanes and even the same

22
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:50,320
manufacturing process the old Tick Tock

23
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:53,399
Cadence meant a new process so smaller

24
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,000
processors every 2 years but kbl lake is

25
00:01:53,399 --> 00:02:01,960
still using the same 14 nanometer finfet transistors we've had since Broadwell in

26
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:05,680
2014 so at this point I wouldn't blame

27
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:08,920
you for not being mega super excited

28
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,800
about the 7700k itself but that doesn't

29
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:15,800
mean there isn't anything worth talking about with respect to the platform one

30
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:22,280
thing that will be immediately relevant to a lot of folks that own a 4K display

31
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:25,920
will be the ability to watch Netflix in

32
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:29,000
4k this is thanks to a new DRM scheme

33
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:30,319
that I'm sure consumers will just love

34
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,840
because it has nothing to do with processing power at all and everything

35
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:42,000
to do with a special hardware-based decoder that can only be found in kbl

36
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,959
lak CPUs at this

37
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:51,599
time on the subject of 4K content you also get 4k 10bit video decoding through

38
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:54,000
the vp9 codec used by YouTube so if you

39
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:58,159
have a monitor with 10bit color and a supported video card you can get

40
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:02,200
smoother color transitions when watching supported content very cool

41
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:07,360
perhaps more interesting than that is support for optane which is Intel's

42
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,760
version of 3D Cross Point a new type of

43
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:15,159
memory with cells that are packed more densely meaning higher capacities and

44
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:22,560
faster speeds that is expected to perform somewhere between system RAM and

45
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:25,120
an SSD pretty freaking cool but kind of

46
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:29,439
like SATA Express back in the day there's no word on if and when we'll see

47
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:36,000
it on consumer PCS but hopefully we'll get this one there are also new chipsets

48
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:40,239
we tested our CPU on an ASUS Rog Maximus

49
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,439
99 code featuring The Zed 270 chipset

50
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:46,799
which adds native support for USB 3.1 10

51
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:49,439
gbit and an additional 4 PCI Express 3.0

52
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:54,840
Lanes which is actually a welcome change considering how popular P based storage

53
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:59,680
is becoming in the form of tiny and increasingly affordable m.2 drives some

54
00:03:58,079 --> 00:04:05,640
other fun features of this board spefic specifically include a water flow sensor

55
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:08,280
a USB 3.1 10 GB front panel header Aura

56
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:14,040
and Aura sync to add some RGB to your case reinforced PCI Express slots for

57
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,840
heavy gpus and a built-in headphone

58
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:23,440
amplifier but enough chitchat did this 7700k Z 2712 punch impress us with its

59
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:29,880
performance gains we compared it to a Skylake 6700k both at stock and at

60
00:04:26,919 --> 00:04:35,039
overclocked speeds using ASUS's AI tuner automatic overclock and setting

61
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:38,960
temperature and voltage targets to 80°

62
00:04:35,039 --> 00:04:43,360
and 1.35 volts to keep things safe which

63
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:45,639
gave us 4.9 GHz on kbl lake and 4.6 on

64
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:50,560
Skylake let us know in the comments if you'd like a full OC guide including

65
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,240
manual tuning in the future let's start with thermals and power draw

66
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:59,280
temperatures were quite similar though kbl Lake showed a slight Improvement at

67
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,520
load though both chips were comfortably below below their thermal throttling

68
00:05:00,919 --> 00:05:08,120
point in Ida 64 kbl lak similarly showed a small

69
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:13,639
Improvement in power draw nothing dramatic and it won't affect your system

70
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:19,080
build planning since it's easy to run an Enthusiast single graphics card system

71
00:05:16,039 --> 00:05:21,560
on an inexpensive 450 to 500 wat power

72
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:27,360
supply anyways now let's dive into performance numbers our synthetics which

73
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,400
included CPU Mark y cruncher cin bench

74
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:34,280
and Rog re bench showed Lake offering

75
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:36,720
improvements of about 5 to 7% across the

76
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:42,960
board including in single-threaded applications which isn't terrible but

77
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:45,280
isn't horribly impressive either and

78
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:51,160
when you compare KB lake at stock versus our overclocked Skylake chip which ran

79
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,120
within 100 MHz of each other the Gap

80
00:05:51,160 --> 00:06:01,240
becomes smaller making these improvements an even more minor selling

81
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,360
point for enthusiasts who well

82
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,599
overclock gaming performance wasn't much

83
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:12,240
different as there was no appreciable difference between Generations when

84
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:14,759
gaming with a discret GTX 1080 with kbl

85
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:20,639
Lake actually performing slightly worse in some situations for Onboard video

86
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:26,240
efficient Autos the integrated HD 630 Graphics do show a small improvement

87
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:31,240
over Skylake but the 1 to two extra frames per second don't really make it

88
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:36,720
viable for for new AAA titles bringing us to the conclusion these small

89
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:39,639
improvements don't make KB Lake a bad

90
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,520
platform if you liked last year's Madden game you'll probably like the new one

91
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:49,240
with all the updated player stats and special team jerseys too they just mean

92
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:55,400
that kbl Lake isn't really a sensible upgrade for a core i7 machine built in

93
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:58,280
the last one to 3 years something that

94
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:04,080
could be a product of the challenges associated with building fast F chips on

95
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:06,840
current technology or could be a product

96
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:12,280
of a complacent Intel that hasn't really had a real competitor in almost a decade

97
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:18,879
I'm sure the next couple of years will tell us once and for all which one it is

98
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:22,639
so tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse privately

99
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:26,160
and enjoy a more open internet you simply download it it's so easy you just

100
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:32,080
go to the page and it like downloads automatically it's actually kind of amazing then what happens is you press

101
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:36,039
the button and you can pick up to 20 different countries to Tunnel through

102
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,400
and as soon as you activate that button boom your connection gets encrypted and

103
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:44,879
it appears to the websites and services you use online as though you are

104
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:48,639
browsing from a different country the best part is you don't have to take my

105
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:53,280
word for it you can try it for free with 500 Megs of data and no credit card

110
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:17,280
try to keep it as civil as possible and if you'd like to take it away from the

112
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:25,120
be a war still but try to keep it civil there as well uh if you want to check
