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

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:12.679
buy a copy of Windows for like twice as much that had extra features like the

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

00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:22.119
video as your desktop background oo but

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:29.240
did you get any additional performance for your money fair question and one

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:32.040
that was asked many times only to find

00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:37.640
out that no No in fact you did not but what about Windows Server operating

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:40.680
systems surely a

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:43.039
$1,000 version of Windows would have

00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:48.940
some kind of under the hood performance tweaks right in today's video we're

00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:57.000
going to find

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.239
out we now have awesome posters

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:07.560
available for lonus Tech tips Techquickie and Channel Super Fun check them

00:01:04.839 --> 00:01:11.720
out at the link in the video description okay so if we're measuring

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:16.159
the performance of two different pieces of software the last thing we want is

00:01:13.880 --> 00:01:21.159
some kind of a hardware bottleneck so we're using a balls to thewall

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.600
configuration we've got a 5960x 8 core

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:30.000
processor from Intel we've got an x99 Deluxe 2 motherboard from ASUS

00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:33.920
128 gigs of quad Channel ddr4 memory

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:37.479
from gskill a GTX Titan XP from NVIDIA

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:40.320
an X540 10 GB Nick from Intel and

00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:50.479
finally for our boot drive we are using Corsair's latest mp500 NVMe PCI Express

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:53.079
SSD then I set up like a little dock so

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:56.880
that with two separate installs on two separate drives of Windows 10 and

00:01:55.479 --> 00:02:03.960
Windows Server 2016 I could go through exactly

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.880
asterisk the same setup procedure down

00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:12.879
to the order of reboots and the Order of application and Driver installs to

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:15.920
create the same basic state for both of

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.800
these operating systems then anytime I'm

00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:22.640
measuring performance of something like rebooting for example or a game if I

00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:28.720
have to screen capture I'm using the HDMI pass through of this BenQ monitor

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:33.319
going to an Avio epan capture card over to a separate computer so nothing that

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:39.400
I'm doing affects the performance of the system whatsoever no xsplit no nothing

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:44.080
like that so at this point I've actually finished running all of the Windows 10

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:48.959
numbers and you guys are joining me for the exciting part where we compare

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:57.319
Windows Server 2016 and find out if it can blow Windows

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:59.040
10 out of the water or not so we got our

00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:06.799
screen cap going we got our first Benchmark walk ah here it goes the Ida

00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:11.360
cash and memory Benchmark wow some of

00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:16.080
these are like down to the point decimal

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:20.200
place of a Gigabyte per second

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:22.480
identical so our first result is in and

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:29.840
it looks like pretty much within margin of error uh the performance is the

00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:32.920
same let's keep going time for everybody

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.239
body's favorite Benchmark sitting a

00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:43.280
bench 1371 okay pass Mark CPU

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:45.920
Mark W that was exciting we are a little

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:52.840
lower on the server operating system let's go ahead and log

00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:54.720
that and move on to dis

00:03:52.840 --> 00:04:01.959
Mark wow okay so uh dis Mark results are in

00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:04.319
and things are getting pretty boring we

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

00:04:07.959 --> 00:04:16.959
big way or anything like that

00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:18.400
okay sorry oh so that's uh that's the

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:24.479
addo results

00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:25.600
wow pretty similar maybe gaming will be

00:04:24.479 --> 00:04:30.600
a performance

00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:38.759
Revelation okay first game Benchmark ashes of a singularity 4K High direct

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:42.600
X12 here we go show me the big

00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:46.320
difference in 3 minutes and 15

00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:48.680
seconds so curiously ashes of the

00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:53.720
singularity did have a significant performance

00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:56.600
difference but server 2016 was much

00:04:53.720 --> 00:05:00.240
worse than Windows 10 see how rise of the Tomb Raider does

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:09.919
okay last Benchmark Doom at 4K

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.680
Ultra so far gaming is not looking good

00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:18.360
for Server 2016 okay then so outside of games where

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:23.680
we saw a server take a bit of a beating actually they perform pretty much the

00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:27.160
same within margin of error but this shouldn't be much of a surprise to

00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:32.479
anyone who's familiar with the term konel so the kernel is the very core of

00:05:30.440 --> 00:05:38.680
the operating system that's responsible for memory management and for allowing

00:05:36.039 --> 00:05:46.000
the hardware itself to interact with other pieces of software and drivers and

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:48.080
vice versa so Microsoft actually reuses

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.319
fundamentally the same kernel between their server operating systems and their

00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:56.720
consumer operating systems and this has been the case ever since Windows XP

00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:01.960
where an MS DOS based kernel got replaced by the Windows NT kernel and

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:06.479
the advantages of doing this were several so it streamlined development

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.520
while dramatically improving the stability of the consumer product I mean

00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:15.120
what was the point when you really get down to it of spending extra to maintain

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

00:06:16.520 --> 00:06:22.960
like kind of unstable it also dramatically improved

00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:29.120
interoperability have you ever noticed that uh driver or a software application

00:06:26.080 --> 00:06:31.840
that runs on Windows Vista generally ran

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:36.599
on Windows 7 without too many hiccups that's because they're based on a very

00:06:33.599 --> 00:06:39.280
similar version of the Windows kernel so

00:06:36.599 --> 00:06:43.800
what are the differences some can be easily reversed like control alt delete

00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:49.160
to sign into a server operating system or pretty animations on your you know

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:53.160
Windows when you drag them around on the consumer ones some of them are

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:59.160
artificially imposed like RAM limitations no remote desktop connection

00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:01.319
no domain connectivity for home editions

00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:06.160
and some of them actually come from third-party developers who might lock

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:10.440
down their software from running on non-server versions so our data

00:07:08.599 --> 00:07:15.840
replication software as an example of this or even from Hardware companies who

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:20.080
don't want their Hardware running on nonv validated versions of Windows so

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:25.160
the onboard Wi-Fi on this board for example even with a cheat through device

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:31.960
manager manually pointing it at the driver file simply refused to work but

00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:36.720
the biggest difference comes down to the massive amount of code that goes into

00:07:34.039 --> 00:07:43.759
adding features that would have little to no value to the average home consumer

00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:49.720
so things like uh Enterprise networking functionality or the ability to Nest

00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:55.879
virtualized operating systems within other virtualized operating systems

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:58.240
virtualization setion so the bad news

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

00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:06.360
any performance benefit the good news

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

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:15.080
getting the most out of your Hardware so

00:08:12.520 --> 00:08:20.120
congratulations squar space I don't know why they call it Squarespace because you

00:08:16.919 --> 00:08:24.000
could build your website any shape you

00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:26.319
want it could even be a square or even a

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:30.639
rectangle yes my friend square or rectangle but what all Squarespace sites

00:08:28.440 --> 00:08:36.680
have in common is they look gorgeous and they work across any device you could

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:42.640
want and they make it easy to build they offer live chat and email support 247

00:08:40.599 --> 00:08:47.600
it's inexpensive starting at only 12 bucks a month and every website comes

00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:26.920
the stuff we featured today out Windows I guess add the link to Amazon in the

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:30.360
video description join our forum and I think that pretty much oh right t-shirts

00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:36.120
we have t-shirt and we have other videos I did this

00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:36.120
completely out of order
