today using the link in the video description this year
as far as i knew coming into this Intel
wasn't supposed to have any new CPU products on display and yet there's the
commemorative like 40-year anniversary of the original 8086 CPU that we're
gonna actually we we found one here on the floor we're gonna go check that out
later that thing launched also they're giving away
8086 of them just freaking crazy maybe we'll link the details to that down
below and then we swung by the rog booth again
and this was not here yesterday so
they're calling this rog dominic's dominus dominus
16 phase rog concept motherboard with some kind of
classified CPU in it and i have gone out
of my way to ask all of the ASUS people
here as little as possible because as soon as
they tell me anything about this i'm going to be like honor bound to not say
anything because Intel is being extremely tight-lipped about what's
going on in here and i have seen some pretty um
dumbs not the word i'm looking for but some pretty unlikely speculation about
what exactly is going on here so first of all
let's bring up so they're letting us run cinebench this is this is freaking
awesome they're letting us run cinebench so we've got a score from last time 6
000 points we can't bring up CPU zed but
we're allowed to run cinebench so let's see if we can count how many oh crap
okay it's going to be pretty hard for us to count how many course
it has which pretty much tells me everything
that i need to know because
a lot of people wouldn't recognize this socket but i've actually been working on
a six video editors one CPU project for a while so i've got ASUS dual lga 3647
socket ws sageboard and uh it's got a
socket that looks an awful lot like that now we know Intel isn't launching any
new CPU architectures right now so we can speculate that this is probably
based on the same socket and a similar
CPU to the 28 core max chips that i've
been running for that project we also
know that because there's six memory slots it is either triple channel which
would be a total blast from the past or it is six channel memory which again
would suggest that this is going to be very similar to Intel's server grade
xeon platform now i was a little bit critical of xeon w
because as far as we could tell it's basically a core i9 with ecc memory
tacked onto it for a few hundred extra dollars
and Intel didn't seem like they were going to be supporting the high the very
high-end workstation with these server only chips is something like that going
to happen well based on that the bottom
third or so of this board seems to be recycled from the sage
i would say that could happen and based on their um
their concept grade 16 phase power delivery system up here i
would say that they are probably going to allow overclocking which is
incredibly exciting okay so the one thing that they'll tell us about this
other than that it's 16 phase and that it's running some kind of classified CPU
is that this power delivery setup up here check this out you got two 24 pins
in there's one over there there's one down here and then i can't actually find
them all but it would appear as though there are yeah here they are one two
three four five six a combination of four
eight pins and two six pins that appear to be designed to power the CPU socket
alone over here there's no vrm this is just more heatsink with more fans six
fans and this thing can provide up to 2
000 watts of power like 2100 watts or
something like that okay so to put that in context the 18 core extreme edition
core i9 can suck back about 500 watts
under water or about a thousand under liquid nitrogen so i wouldn't be
surprised if they were building this thing for liquid nitrogen which might
tell us that if this is a 28 core CPU and we were to overclock it to i don't
know let's say four point something high five gigahertz who knows it could pull
as much as a thousand watts of power
that is like that's like Threadripper what Threadripper
and here it is where the one and only der eight hour
is that how you pronounce it durator no i'm just kidding
der bauer has got an 8086k
running on i don't know some kind of motherboard it's covered in like automotive shop cloth and a liquid
nitrogen pod anyway the point is they've got it running at
7.1 gigahertz at the moment and we've
got a shot of CPU z up here which will tell us a totally unrealistic speed that
you might get it running at if you're basically him and nobody else it also
tells us it's six cores 12 threads so basically an
8700k and um
unfortunately that's pretty much all there is to it from his testing he
figures it's about as good as a good 8700k
not like super special bend or anything like that and um
you do get a special badge in CPU zed it says 40th anniversary but other than
that this is mostly meant to be a commemorative skew and any rumors about
soldered ihs or anything like that seem to have been
exaggerated so i guess that's pretty much it for
random Intel CPU launches we didn't see coming thanks to lastpass for making our
coverage of computex 2018 possible this year lastpass lets you store all your
passwords securely in your account so that when you're traveling or using a
new machine or just logging into something that you haven't used in a
while you don't have to go digging through you know paper notes somewhere
or heaven forbid you don't have to reuse passwords because it can automatically
generate them for you when you create your accounts lastpass also stores a lot
more than just passwords you can keep credit card numbers passport numbers for
when you want to book a flight you can store care card numbers for yourself or
your kids something you might need in an emergency but don't necessarily want to
carry around with you in a physical wallet something that can be lost and
the best part is you don't have to take my word for it you can try lastpass for
free at the link in the video description so don't miss any of our
computex 2018 coverage guys we will see you at the next booth
whoa whoa oh we're gonna give them we're gonna make them sick dennis
