00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,720
do you remember the last time you used a cookie cutter to make treats for your

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:10,440
weekly techwiki viewing party well even if that was for a

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:14,440
different occasion odds are that your cookies came out looking slightly

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:19,199
different no matter how identical you tried to make them this is the same

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,039
concept behind binning a term used by the manufacturing industry to sort

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,320
things like for instance processors and memory modules by quality once they're

7
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:31,720
manufactured you see although manufacturing processes for computer

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:36,120
chips are extremely precise there's going to be some variation between them

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:40,800
due to the intricacies involved in fabricating such tiny complicated

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:44,879
components for example a CPU with a certain microarchitecture which you can

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:49,360
learn more about in this video up here will have targets for performance power

12
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:54,359
management and thermal output all set by the manufacturer if a certain sample

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:59,559
hits these targets it will be bined at a higher quality and end up being sold as

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:04,640
a higher-end product but if it falls short it will end up being a more value

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:08,640
oriented product multi-core CPUs illustrate this very well let's say you

16
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:13,240
have a core I3 from Intel sitting in your rig right now although it's a dual

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:18,360
core processor the actual die might have actually been four cores if a chip has a

18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,720
core that isn't up to par but has others that function as intended the defective

19
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:27,320
cores can be disabled and the chips sold at a lower tier so that I3 in your

20
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:31,360
machine could have actually been an i5 but some small thing went wrong in the

21
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:36,000
factory on the other hand the highest bin consumer grade Intel CPUs often

22
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:40,399
become the unlocked K series chips marketed to overclockers as these are

23
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:44,119
typically the ones that perform the best without having to crank the voltage way

24
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:48,079
high or putting out an insane amount of heat even so due to the minute

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:52,759
differences between individual processors overclocking results will

26
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:57,320
vary between even favorably bended unlocked chips the so-called silicon

27
00:01:55,479 --> 00:02:02,039
Lottery you hear Enthusiast talking about the same concept also appears in

28
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:05,759
graphics cards as well often times when there's a new GPU release that isn't

29
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:10,160
something on the extremely high end you'll see a review that says it has the

30
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:15,080
same GPU as a more expensive model but with X number of compute units disabled

31
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,200
this is often due to binning where a GPU might have a block of compute units that

32
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:25,760
don't make the cut quality-wise so they're disabled instead and sold as a

33
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:27,519
say GTX 950 instead of 960 so hold on a

34
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,800
second you're telling me that I can turn on extra cores that might be hiding on

35
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:36,800
my CPU or GPU and get some free performance if I slap on a better cooler

36
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:41,720
or something right unfortunately no that party has kind of ended years ago it was

37
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:45,560
more commonly possible on certain products through some BIOS trickery or

38
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:49,640
maybe a firmware update here or there but these days most major manufacturers

39
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,959
physically disable the connections between inactive cores and the rest of

40
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:58,480
the processing unit so they can't be used at all by consumers but even so

41
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:02,480
don't feel bad if you bought a lower Bend chip just remember remember that

42
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,680
you saved an innocent CPU from being melted down for gold and silicon and

43
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:11,519
didn't even have to make a monthly donation because you saw a depressing TV

44
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,760
commercial tunnel bear VPN lets you connect to 20 different countries

45
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:19,519
allowing you to browse the internet and use online services as if you're in said

46
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:24,280
different country they have an easy to use app for iOS Android PC and mac and

47
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:28,040
they even have a Chrome extension if you just want to have like one thing going

48
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:32,680
in that country and not everything just choose a country in the app turn tunnel

49
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:36,200
bear on and watch as your bear tunnels your internet connection to a new

50
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:39,680
location when you turn tunnel bear on two things happen your connection gets

51
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:44,879
encrypted with AES 256bit which is awesome and your public

52
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:48,280
IP address gets switched so you can show up as if you're in a different country

53
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,519
like I just said you can try out tunnel bear VPN with 500 megabytes of free data

54
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,200
with no credit card required and if you want to upgrade to unlimited data you

55
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,280
can save 10% by going to Tunnel bear.com

56
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:03,439
Linus if you like the video like it if you dislike the video dislike it comment

57
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:06,680
down below if there's like stuff you want us to cover someone released a

58
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,879
really good comment recently that had like four different things that we haven't covered yet that were great

59
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,280
ideas so we're probably going to do those don't forget to subscribe and

60
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:18,280
check with Channel Super Fun we do like weird stuff this Probably sounds

61
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:22,400
horrible in the mic and there's like things bouncing off of me and it's bad

62
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:29,479
but if you didn't like that sound you should go there don't know how that works go there

63
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:29,479
anyways
