there are a number of important things that separate AMD from Intel in the CPU
Market these days here are just a few product called Threadripper AMD yes
Intel no gigantic package AMD yes Intel
no debuted at LTX amds Intel no but if
the name and the sheer size and girth of
AMD's new socket TR4 platform isn't
enough to sell you on it then stick around because we're about to open it up
and see if what's inside rips team blue
a new
one the be quiet! dark Bas Pro 900s
modular design supports a variety of different layouts and configurations

Ripper AMD's latest and greatest in more
ways than one release for the Zen
microarchitecture that threatens to hit Intel where it hurts the high-end
desktop and workstation this is a really big deal because the last time AMD had
any punching power in this weight class optons were still a thing people wanted
to buy and you could still get a decent AGP graphics card it can be argued that
ryzen 7 positioned against the core i7
6900 K had a lot of appeal but it lacked
per thread performance and more importantly perhaps the many PCI Express
Lanes that professionals have come to rely on while Threadripper is actually
clocked similarly to ryzen 7 and makes use of the same modular CCX design and
infinity fabric interconnect by amping it up to four CCX of cross two dies we
now get a total of 64 PCI Express Lanes that is 20 more
than Intel's shiny new core I9 and even
threatens Intel's Zeon server processors
Who currently enjoy just four more Lanes than their core I9 counterparts and in a
world where gpus are critical to
high-end compute performance like rendering and scientific research 64
Lanes gets you highspeed connections to
a lot of them three gpus by themselves
at 16x speeds would saturate a core I9
or zeeon completely while on a Threadripper based system you're going to have
room to spare to be fair to Intel their
rationale is that there's not many scenarios where this is a big issue but
AMD's betting and we believe they're right on NVMe storage high-speed
networking and high performance external accelerator even gpus becoming more and
more common as time goes on though with that said there is no word yet on
Thunderbolt support in any AMD ecosystem
what is supported on all AMD Zen based platforms though are The Usual Suspects
like sense Mii Precision boost and xfr
which allow Threadripper to determine the Optimal Performance State voltage
and power limit on a millisecond scale and even boost performance further if
the cooling is good enough old news perhaps but it's an important
distinction from Team blue whose high-end desktop and Zeon processors
have traditionally lagged a generation behind their mainstream chips in terms
of power management well all right then lonus thanks for the recap tell us
something we don't know we'll get to that first a closer look at the chips
launching today the 1950x clocks in at a
whopping 16 cores and 32 threads with a
massive 40 megab of cash it achieves
this by gluing together two zenis of two
CCX each what's perhaps even more interesting is its little brother the
1920x which still enjoys a numbers
advantage over the more expensive cor I9
7900 X at 12 cores 24 threads and still
64 PCI E Lanes so we slotted both of
them quite literally this new mounting mechanism is bananes into an ASUS Zenith
extreme with 32 gigs of tridentz RGB RAM
and a thermal take ring RGB cooler as for competition all three of our other
test benches will be represented x299
z270 and x370 and as for performance
well surprisingly our 1950x actually beat out the competition
in Rise of the Tomb Raider and DSX mankind devis
but then fell well behind the pack along with the 1920x in
CSO not quite sure why that would be but
it pulls up alongside team blue again in our synthetics so maybe we'll chalk it
up to the ongoing game engine optimization for ryzen that AMD has been
shouting out or just another source engine Quirk to throw in the pile moving
on to productivity benchmarks this is
where it gets really interesting while our synthetics show Threadripper more
or less trading blows with the core I 9 even in multi-threaded workloads when we
get into rendering with cinebench R15
and blender our 12 core
1920x is competitive with the core I 9
7900x and our 1950x is way out front like by a lot our
two Threadripper CPUs also had the lowest performance drop during our
combined streaming and local recording test with OBS in
CSO beautiful so what's the catch Linus
does it light up like a Roman Candle do we need a pocket nuclear reactor to
power it well if you're overclocking actually maybe more on that
to come but at stock speed Threadripper manages this kind of multi-threading
performance at roughly a dozen more watts and 10 more de under synthetic
load compared to the core I 9 and at these prices the value proposition
especially for professionals is outstanding for gamers unless you're
streaming or 3D rendering at the same
time you're gaming Threadripper isn't
going to be the best value but for pros
it's frankly starting to look like a no-brainer if your workload relies on
multi-threading performance or lots of adding cards now it remains to be seen
how team blue will react if at all but given their negative press against AMD's
epic and Threadripper products for Data Center and workstation use it's safe to
say they're beginning to feel a little hot under the colar but that's okay
Intel AMD's got a uh Threadripper that
can help you with that get it it's a joke cuz you could rip the
fabric whoa our buddies at cable mod
bought an LTT integration business must
be good and for good reason they're great people and they make great
products and they've got a new product to announce today they're sleeving kits
for aios they let you add the same cable
mod vibrant colors to your all-in-one liquid cooler that you previously could
on your cables and they are color
matched so your aiio tubing can actually match your mod mesh cables installation
is super easy you don't have to disassemble your cooler or anything like
that you just wrap mod wrap sleeving around your AI tubing and complete the
look with the included fastening Clips so check them out and maybe buy one buy
one at the link in the video
description so thanks for watching guys this video sucked you know what to do
but it was awesome get subscribed hit that like button or check out the link
to where to buy the stuff we featured in the video description also linked in the
description is our merch store which has cool shirts like this one and our
community Forum which you should totally join l
