1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,040
a decade ago you could buy a copy of Windows for a normal price or you could

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:12,679
buy a copy of Windows for like twice as much that had extra features like the

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:20,039
ability to join a domain uh support for more RAM or even the ability to set a

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:22,119
video as your desktop background oo but

5
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:29,240
did you get any additional performance for your money fair question and one

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:32,040
that was asked many times only to find

7
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:37,640
out that no No in fact you did not but what about Windows Server operating

8
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:40,680
systems surely a

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,039
$1,000 version of Windows would have

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:48,940
some kind of under the hood performance tweaks right in today's video we're

11
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:57,000
going to find

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,239
out we now have awesome posters

13
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:07,560
available for lonus Tech tips Techquickie and Channel Super Fun check them

14
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:11,720
out at the link in the video description okay so if we're measuring

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:16,159
the performance of two different pieces of software the last thing we want is

16
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:21,159
some kind of a hardware bottleneck so we're using a balls to thewall

17
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:23,600
configuration we've got a 5960x 8 core

18
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:30,000
processor from Intel we've got an x99 Deluxe 2 motherboard from ASUS

19
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:33,920
128 gigs of quad Channel ddr4 memory

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:37,479
from gskill a GTX Titan XP from NVIDIA

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,320
an X540 10 GB Nick from Intel and

22
00:01:37,479 --> 00:01:50,479
finally for our boot drive we are using Corsair's latest mp500 NVMe PCI Express

23
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:53,079
SSD then I set up like a little dock so

24
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:56,880
that with two separate installs on two separate drives of Windows 10 and

25
00:01:55,479 --> 00:02:03,960
Windows Server 2016 I could go through exactly

26
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,880
asterisk the same setup procedure down

27
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:12,879
to the order of reboots and the Order of application and Driver installs to

28
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:15,920
create the same basic state for both of

29
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:17,800
these operating systems then anytime I'm

30
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:22,640
measuring performance of something like rebooting for example or a game if I

31
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:28,720
have to screen capture I'm using the HDMI pass through of this BenQ monitor

32
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:33,319
going to an Avio epan capture card over to a separate computer so nothing that

33
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:39,400
I'm doing affects the performance of the system whatsoever no xsplit no nothing

34
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:44,080
like that so at this point I've actually finished running all of the Windows 10

35
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:48,959
numbers and you guys are joining me for the exciting part where we compare

36
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:57,319
Windows Server 2016 and find out if it can blow Windows

37
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:59,040
10 out of the water or not so we got our

38
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:06,799
screen cap going we got our first Benchmark walk ah here it goes the Ida

39
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:11,360
cash and memory Benchmark wow some of

40
00:03:06,799 --> 00:03:16,080
these are like down to the point decimal

41
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:20,200
place of a Gigabyte per second

42
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,480
identical so our first result is in and

43
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:29,840
it looks like pretty much within margin of error uh the performance is the

44
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:32,920
same let's keep going time for everybody

45
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,239
body's favorite Benchmark sitting a

46
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:43,280
bench 1371 okay pass Mark CPU

47
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:45,920
Mark W that was exciting we are a little

48
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:52,840
lower on the server operating system let's go ahead and log

49
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,720
that and move on to dis

50
00:03:52,840 --> 00:04:01,959
Mark wow okay so uh dis Mark results are in

51
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:04,319
and things are getting pretty boring we

52
00:04:01,959 --> 00:04:10,480
come in a little bit lower on the server 2016 machine but not really in like a

53
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:16,959
big way or anything like that

54
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:18,400
okay sorry oh so that's uh that's the

55
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:24,479
addo results

56
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,600
wow pretty similar maybe gaming will be

57
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:30,600
a performance

58
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:38,759
Revelation okay first game Benchmark ashes of a singularity 4K High direct

59
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:42,600
X12 here we go show me the big

60
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:46,320
difference in 3 minutes and 15

61
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,680
seconds so curiously ashes of the

62
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:53,720
singularity did have a significant performance

63
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,600
difference but server 2016 was much

64
00:04:53,720 --> 00:05:00,240
worse than Windows 10 see how rise of the Tomb Raider does

65
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:09,919
okay last Benchmark Doom at 4K

66
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,680
Ultra so far gaming is not looking good

67
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:18,360
for Server 2016 okay then so outside of games where

68
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,680
we saw a server take a bit of a beating actually they perform pretty much the

69
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:27,160
same within margin of error but this shouldn't be much of a surprise to

70
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:32,479
anyone who's familiar with the term konel so the kernel is the very core of

71
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:38,680
the operating system that's responsible for memory management and for allowing

72
00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:46,000
the hardware itself to interact with other pieces of software and drivers and

73
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:48,080
vice versa so Microsoft actually reuses

74
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,319
fundamentally the same kernel between their server operating systems and their

75
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:56,720
consumer operating systems and this has been the case ever since Windows XP

76
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:01,960
where an MS DOS based kernel got replaced by the Windows NT kernel and

77
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,479
the advantages of doing this were several so it streamlined development

78
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,520
while dramatically improving the stability of the consumer product I mean

79
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:15,120
what was the point when you really get down to it of spending extra to maintain

80
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:19,080
two parallel kernels so that one of them could be good and one of them could be

81
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:22,960
like kind of unstable it also dramatically improved

82
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:29,120
interoperability have you ever noticed that uh driver or a software application

83
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,840
that runs on Windows Vista generally ran

84
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:36,599
on Windows 7 without too many hiccups that's because they're based on a very

85
00:06:33,599 --> 00:06:39,280
similar version of the Windows kernel so

86
00:06:36,599 --> 00:06:43,800
what are the differences some can be easily reversed like control alt delete

87
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:49,160
to sign into a server operating system or pretty animations on your you know

88
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,160
Windows when you drag them around on the consumer ones some of them are

89
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:59,160
artificially imposed like RAM limitations no remote desktop connection

90
00:06:55,879 --> 00:07:01,319
no domain connectivity for home editions

91
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:06,160
and some of them actually come from third-party developers who might lock

92
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:10,440
down their software from running on non-server versions so our data

93
00:07:08,599 --> 00:07:15,840
replication software as an example of this or even from Hardware companies who

94
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:20,080
don't want their Hardware running on nonv validated versions of Windows so

95
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:25,160
the onboard Wi-Fi on this board for example even with a cheat through device

96
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:31,960
manager manually pointing it at the driver file simply refused to work but

97
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:36,720
the biggest difference comes down to the massive amount of code that goes into

98
00:07:34,039 --> 00:07:43,759
adding features that would have little to no value to the average home consumer

99
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:49,720
so things like uh Enterprise networking functionality or the ability to Nest

100
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:55,879
virtualized operating systems within other virtualized operating systems

101
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,240
virtualization setion so the bad news

102
00:07:55,879 --> 00:08:03,560
here then is if you spend $11,000 on your operating system uh you won't get

103
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:06,360
any performance benefit the good news

104
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:12,520
though is that for $100 or even less if you're the Linux type you are already

105
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:15,080
getting the most out of your Hardware so

106
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:20,120
congratulations squar space I don't know why they call it Squarespace because you

107
00:08:16,919 --> 00:08:24,000
could build your website any shape you

108
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:26,319
want it could even be a square or even a

109
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,639
rectangle yes my friend square or rectangle but what all Squarespace sites

110
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:36,680
have in common is they look gorgeous and they work across any device you could

111
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:42,640
want and they make it easy to build they offer live chat and email support 247

112
00:08:40,599 --> 00:08:47,600
it's inexpensive starting at only 12 bucks a month and every website comes

113
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:52,240
with a ton of great features including Commerce cover pages which allows you to

114
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:56,320
have a beautiful one-page online presence in minutes support for Apple

115
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:01,839
news format so you can have a Squarespace blog module and access like

116
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:05,000
million ions of potential readers and the best part is you don't have to take

117
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,680
my word for it you can start a trial with no credit card required and start

118
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:14,360
building your website today then use offer code LT to get 10% off your first

121
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:26,920
the stuff we featured today out Windows I guess add the link to Amazon in the

122
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,360
video description join our forum and I think that pretty much oh right t-shirts

123
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:36,120
we have t-shirt and we have other videos I did this

124
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:36,120
completely out of order
