00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.720
While most of the hype in the CPU world right now is centered around AMD's

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:11.840
upcoming ryzen release Intel has no plans to take that lying down and has

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:16.200
just unveiled their seventh generation core processors for desktop code name

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:21.149
kbl

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.199
Lake evga's dg-87 full tower case

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:34.520
features optimized airf flow pathing to help keep your Hardware cool check it

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:40.320
out at the link in the video description they claim to be taking Computing to the

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:42.320
next level but I'm pretty sure marketing

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:48.160
guys would just get fired if they don't say that kind of stuff only performance

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:52.640
will tell whether a shiny new KB Lake will be worth 350 of your hard-earned

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:58.079
dollars we'll be looking at Intel's newest consumer grade Flagship the core

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:03.160
i77700 K and if you think that just means the usual features you know quad

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:10.320
core hyperthreading and overclockability on Z series chipsets well Sarah you'd be

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:12.560
100% correct out of the box there's a

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:18.320
bump on the clock speed compared to its Skylake predecessor the 6700k and you

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:23.960
also get Intel HD graphics 630 as opposed to 530 though if you spend this

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:29.200
kind of money on a high-end i7 you're probably using discret Graphics from the

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:34.000
likes of NVIDIA or AMD anyways so to find the differences we clearly need to

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

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:43.880
chips they have the same TDP of 91 Watts

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:47.119
the same 16 P Lanes and even the same

00:01:43.880 --> 00:01:50.320
manufacturing process the old Tick Tock

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:53.399
Cadence meant a new process so smaller

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:56.000
processors every 2 years but kbl lake is

00:01:53.399 --> 00:02:01.960
still using the same 14 nanometer finfet transistors we've had since Broadwell in

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:05.680
2014 so at this point I wouldn't blame

00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:08.920
you for not being mega super excited

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.800
about the 7700k itself but that doesn't

00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:15.800
mean there isn't anything worth talking about with respect to the platform one

00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:22.280
thing that will be immediately relevant to a lot of folks that own a 4K display

00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:25.920
will be the ability to watch Netflix in

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:29.000
4k this is thanks to a new DRM scheme

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:30.319
that I'm sure consumers will just love

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:35.840
because it has nothing to do with processing power at all and everything

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:42.000
to do with a special hardware-based decoder that can only be found in kbl

00:02:38.760 --> 00:02:44.959
lak CPUs at this

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:51.599
time on the subject of 4K content you also get 4k 10bit video decoding through

00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:54.000
the vp9 codec used by YouTube so if you

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:58.159
have a monitor with 10bit color and a supported video card you can get

00:02:56.040 --> 00:03:02.200
smoother color transitions when watching supported content very cool

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:07.360
perhaps more interesting than that is support for optane which is Intel's

00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:09.760
version of 3D Cross Point a new type of

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:15.159
memory with cells that are packed more densely meaning higher capacities and

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:22.560
faster speeds that is expected to perform somewhere between system RAM and

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:25.120
an SSD pretty freaking cool but kind of

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

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:36.000
it on consumer PCS but hopefully we'll get this one there are also new chipsets

00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:40.239
we tested our CPU on an ASUS Rog Maximus

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:43.439
99 code featuring The Zed 270 chipset

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:46.799
which adds native support for USB 3.1 10

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:49.439
gbit and an additional 4 PCI Express 3.0

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:54.840
Lanes which is actually a welcome change considering how popular P based storage

00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:59.680
is becoming in the form of tiny and increasingly affordable m.2 drives some

00:03:58.079 --> 00:04:05.640
other fun features of this board spefic specifically include a water flow sensor

00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:08.280
a USB 3.1 10 GB front panel header Aura

00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:14.040
and Aura sync to add some RGB to your case reinforced PCI Express slots for

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:16.840
heavy gpus and a built-in headphone

00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:23.440
amplifier but enough chitchat did this 7700k Z 2712 punch impress us with its

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:29.880
performance gains we compared it to a Skylake 6700k both at stock and at

00:04:26.919 --> 00:04:35.039
overclocked speeds using ASUS's AI tuner automatic overclock and setting

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:38.960
temperature and voltage targets to 80°

00:04:35.039 --> 00:04:43.360
and 1.35 volts to keep things safe which

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:45.639
gave us 4.9 GHz on kbl lake and 4.6 on

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:50.560
Skylake let us know in the comments if you'd like a full OC guide including

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:54.240
manual tuning in the future let's start with thermals and power draw

00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:59.280
temperatures were quite similar though kbl Lake showed a slight Improvement at

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.520
load though both chips were comfortably below below their thermal throttling

00:05:00.919 --> 00:05:08.120
point in Ida 64 kbl lak similarly showed a small

00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:13.639
Improvement in power draw nothing dramatic and it won't affect your system

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:19.080
build planning since it's easy to run an Enthusiast single graphics card system

00:05:16.039 --> 00:05:21.560
on an inexpensive 450 to 500 wat power

00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:27.360
supply anyways now let's dive into performance numbers our synthetics which

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.400
included CPU Mark y cruncher cin bench

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:34.280
and Rog re bench showed Lake offering

00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:36.720
improvements of about 5 to 7% across the

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:42.960
board including in single-threaded applications which isn't terrible but

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:45.280
isn't horribly impressive either and

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:51.160
when you compare KB lake at stock versus our overclocked Skylake chip which ran

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:54.120
within 100 MHz of each other the Gap

00:05:51.160 --> 00:06:01.240
becomes smaller making these improvements an even more minor selling

00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:04.360
point for enthusiasts who well

00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:06.599
overclock gaming performance wasn't much

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:12.240
different as there was no appreciable difference between Generations when

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:14.759
gaming with a discret GTX 1080 with kbl

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:20.639
Lake actually performing slightly worse in some situations for Onboard video

00:06:17.960 --> 00:06:26.240
efficient Autos the integrated HD 630 Graphics do show a small improvement

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:31.240
over Skylake but the 1 to two extra frames per second don't really make it

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:36.720
viable for for new AAA titles bringing us to the conclusion these small

00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:39.639
improvements don't make KB Lake a bad

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:43.520
platform if you liked last year's Madden game you'll probably like the new one

00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:49.240
with all the updated player stats and special team jerseys too they just mean

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:55.400
that kbl Lake isn't really a sensible upgrade for a core i7 machine built in

00:06:51.960 --> 00:06:58.280
the last one to 3 years something that

00:06:55.400 --> 00:07:04.080
could be a product of the challenges associated with building fast F chips on

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:06.840
current technology or could be a product

00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:12.280
of a complacent Intel that hasn't really had a real competitor in almost a decade

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

00:07:16.440 --> 00:07:22.639
so tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse privately

00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:26.160
and enjoy a more open internet you simply download it it's so easy you just

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

00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:36.039
the button and you can pick up to 20 different countries to Tunnel through

00:07:34.400 --> 00:07:40.400
and as soon as you activate that button boom your connection gets encrypted and

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:44.879
it appears to the websites and services you use online as though you are

00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:48.639
browsing from a different country the best part is you don't have to take my

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

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
