1
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,440
CPU look i'm trying my best okay

2
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:20,720
this is a real fascinating one ladies and gentlemen this is not made by AMD or

3
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:27,680
Intel obviously because they wouldn't have called it that

4
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:30,480
but supposedly it is x86 compatible it

5
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:35,200
is an x86 core based on some western designed products i believe so would it

6
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:37,200
be fair to call it a ripoff x86 CPU no i

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:41,680
don't think so so what is it then i guess we'll have to find out after this

8
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,280
message from our sponsor ting is a customer-focused mobile provider and

9
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:50,000
wants to help you save money by getting you to pay for only the mobile data you

10
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:54,840
use get 50 and 10 credit at the link in the video description when you sign up

11
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,479
where do you want to start on this should we boot it up first should we take the cooler off and have a look at

12
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:12,080
it first i think we should have a look at it first and see what we're dealing with all right you got regular ddr4

13
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:16,560
memory is this single channel dual channel i believe that's uh

14
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,600
i think it's dual channel it may not be what's

15
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:28,159
remarkable about it is how unremarkable it is 24 pin power 4 pin CPU connector

16
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:31,360
got your regular pwm fan connectors pci

17
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:33,680
express uh m.2 like it's

18
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,960
it's it's got all the modern features i i would expect just in like uh

19
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:42,479
a slightly larger than itx i forget what this is called it's not dtx because it's

20
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,399
three slots but it's just a bit of a weird uh you know frankenstein form

21
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:50,159
factor that's the most bizarre thing about it it's just like a normal looking

22
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:53,360
motherboard even the io i would describe as like

23
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:57,119
perfectly reasonable yeah like it's kind of a lower end i o kind of thing you've

24
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,240
got the serial port the vga port it's actually useful in industrial

25
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:03,759
environments it's even got a parallel port if you want to plug in like a

26
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:11,360
ribbon cable go get hook up that dot matrix dot matrix or like scada hmis and stuff

27
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:12,879
there's nothing about it on the surface

28
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:18,959
to indicate that this is anything other than a normal computer until

29
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,160
that's the jiao shin kaichin there are a few things that we can tell

30
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:26,560
immediately about the hx002

31
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:32,239
ea was it yes one is that it has onboard graphics

32
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,160
because clearly this vga and HDMI port

33
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:39,519
need to be powered by something two all of its i o appears to be built

34
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:44,879
directly into the CPU itself because it says this is a very very simple pcb we

35
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:50,080
can go straight from the CPU to the pci express lots dead straight line same for

36
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:54,160
the RAM uh there appears to be no additional controller or like north

37
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,080
bridge or south bridge or anything like that on the motherboard what can you

38
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:02,000
tell us about the specs of this chip like is it single core dual core what

39
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:08,800
frequency does it run at what do we know about it this is an eight core

40
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,920
really at 2.7 gigahertz it is the kaisen

41
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:17,680
uh kx u6780a and it's based on um via's isaiah

42
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:20,879
core really so this has something to do with

43
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:26,720
via then they've managed to add a bunch of different features including china's

44
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:29,760
homegrown hashing algorithm sm3 and hm4

45
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,239
as well as increasing the ipc by

46
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:36,879
25 and then another i think 2x or something like that it's pretty crazy

47
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:40,400
they've added a s3 processing core for the GPU which i don't know if you

48
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,360
remember s3 but they used to be kind of a big deal before they kind of faded

49
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:50,319
away nothing that impressive today probably but i guess we'll see yeah this could i mean

50
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,239
they have an actual x86 license then

51
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:56,480
yeah truvia yeah so this could actually just like

52
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,480
be plug and play this is this is crazy town of course it has

53
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:04,959
perfectly normal hd audio everything about it is just so normal

54
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:09,360
that's what's tripping me out here not only that but did you notice the uh

55
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:13,920
mounting for the CPU cooler oh yeah i noticed that they're using an Intel um

56
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,840
yeah Intel spec back plate but just there's no holes for it to screw on the

57
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:21,519
socket mount because there's no socket yeah there's adhesive on that back plate

58
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:25,280
i actually uh installed it earlier on but theoretically you could install any

59
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:28,960
lga 11 5x cooler on this thing then couldn't you theoretically but not

60
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:33,280
practically because of the height of the CPU die

61
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:38,960
no oh there's a bank of capacitors here oh that interferes directly it just

62
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,440
barely clears them uh okay there we go

63
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:45,919
biosoft holy sh

64
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:54,639
so i'm just windowsing right now i'm running 60 hertz 4k with my jiaozhin

65
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,800
c960 series GPU at 400 megahertz 10-bit

66
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:00,880
dac it's worth mentioning that in order to get the graphics to work i actually

67
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:07,199
had to go and uh dig up a driver from hp's website hp actually has a micro pc

68
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:12,639
that uh runs on the joushin architecture what they do not they do really

69
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:16,880
like for sale in china or i think it's for sale in china what's task manager

70
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:22,240
going to look like completely normal eight cores no smt so eight threads

71
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,520
memory is just showing up real normal like 21 33 megahertz we weren't able to

72
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,840
get into the bio so i don't even know if we can adjust that we can get into the

73
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:34,479
BIOS this is actually the UEFI installation of Windows so we should be

74
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:39,600
able to reboot into uh startup settings and get there powered by

75
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:43,759
that code name wu daoku

76
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:48,080
28 nanometer that's not correct actually really this should be the uh lugia

77
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:55,120
uh yeah what he said it should also be 16 nanometer 16

78
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,240
nanometer the CPU id is not reporting correctly in hardware involved it also

79
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:02,000
says single channel memory so maybe that's not right either it's not just

80
00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:04,840
any 16 nanometer either it's tsmc's finfet

81
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,840
so this is like damn near

82
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:13,440
cutting edge yeah like not quite but it's not far off

83
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:17,520
either this thing does it does like is it good

84
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,120
i don't know okay should probably

85
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,759
throw it up against some cinebench maybe all right all right all right

86
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:30,319
we're going to head over to the clean second that it competes with the core i5

87
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:32,319
uh 7400 shut up oh CPU-z seems to have a

88
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:35,680
better idea of what's going on here 16 nanometer

89
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:41,600
socket 1548 turboing up to 2.7 here i saw that

90
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:46,080
whoa that graphics core though so look i can

91
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:51,520
actually move the mouse around here but it's like still dragging the window

92
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:56,880
this thing just trips me out so hard so it does have some sort of something that

93
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:58,560
reports as a chipset the kx6000 that's

94
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:05,960
actually the CPU so i believe it's all an soc CPU-z knows its dual channel

95
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:05,960
memory so let's fire up gpuz

96
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:12,560
okay so you just thought it was funny for me to open up gpuz and have it be

97
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:18,400
completely blank it's not funny it's what it thinks the card is

98
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,400
there's nothing in here

99
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:23,280
it has no idea it can't even it doesn't even know that there's a GPU in there

100
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,120
even when it had the microsoft basic display adapter driver it didn't know

101
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:32,560
here we go ladies and gentlemen cinebench r20 eight cores eight cores

102
00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:32,560
eight threads

103
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:41,840
it's working it's doing something it's not even terribly slow as far as i

104
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:45,520
can tell don't quote me on that though still wrapping my brain around this one

105
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:49,199
ladies and gentlemen no it does seem slow this seems slow

106
00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:53,280
this has got to be slow i'm pretty sure this is slow don't spoil

107
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:57,360
it don't spoil it well i was just going to say that

108
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:03,039
one thing that centaur technologies cores really kind of emphasized was the

109
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:04,960
kind of uh performance that their

110
00:08:03,039 --> 00:08:09,199
clientele needed and just making it a graphic yeah like adequate performance

111
00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:14,319
for certain workloads so their cores have generally been very simple and very

112
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:17,039
small and consequently also very little

113
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:23,919
power oh uh lttstore.com by the way all colors in stock it's done

114
00:08:20,039 --> 00:08:26,720
925 points for context i have a

115
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:32,320
ivybridge core i5 though that's a quad core at about a thousand

116
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:36,399
to be fair it's probably fine for what they want to use it for let's game on it

117
00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:41,440
okay oh you're not even going to try the onboard oh come on i couldn't drag a

118
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:44,240
window around i'm not no i'm not even

119
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:48,160
gonna do you want me to try it it's a nothing burger it doesn't work

120
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:52,959
let's see if it just picks up this GPU right away and uh outputs to it and it

121
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:56,880
immediately worked time to benchmark this puppy

122
00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:01,120
oh yeah look at that it passes the window dragging around the screen test

123
00:08:58,959 --> 00:09:05,680
with flying colors let's fire up some cs go here ladies and

124
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:11,920
gentlemen the board that we got from taobao we paid about 617 us dollars it's

125
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:17,279
not cheap i thought that's the point of like

126
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:21,519
chinese knockoff stuff oh Linus that's not the point the chinese

127
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:25,600
government has set a target to reduce its uh consumption or use i

128
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,839
guess of hardware and software made by external

129
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:35,120
vendors by 2022 and this is a drop-in

130
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:38,800
replacement but it's so expensive well you got to look at it from the

131
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,760
perspective of where they were just like four years ago these cores were way

132
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:46,640
slower and they were basically just modified

133
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:51,519
isaiah cores so like in kind of the trajectory they're on

134
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:56,399
it could be a lot better very soon but can they game as long as they're not a

135
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:06,000
kid and it's not bedtime 30 FPS in that in that cs go right there

136
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:07,839
more like cs slow oh wow yeah this does

137
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,000
not run well as soon as the scene you know what hold

138
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:16,079
on a second i want to get a smoke is this 4k

139
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:22,480
uh i do believe it is running at 4k but with an rtx 28 ah

140
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:24,160
it's 1080.

141
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,890
oh i forgot i set a full screen 1080

142
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:30,480
startup option

143
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:37,519
that's terrible okay how bad is the smoke gonna kill me

144
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:44,079
here oh not too bad not too bad still getting 30 40 FPS oh i'm getting shot

145
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:47,600
though how are they even seeing me ah

146
00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:49,040
oh wow those those frame drops though

147
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:53,680
oh no no so close

148
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:58,480
okay so i'm getting like 200 FPS right now i guess it's the game logic does it

149
00:10:55,839 --> 00:11:02,480
seem to be getting better like 40 here

150
00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:06,959
no it's not getting it's not getting better walk faster

151
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,959
dance

152
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:16,000
so there you have it it sucks and it's overpriced but it doesn't suck that much

153
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:19,279
and if it follows the same trend as other technology the price shouldn't

154
00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:23,680
stay that high for long now all that remains is for us

155
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:27,839
to check out some of the other options that china has to reduce its dependency

156
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:32,959
on western technology make sure you are subscribed because one of them is like

157
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:37,200
not x86 at all one of them tries to emulate it i think we've got we got a

158
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,160
whole bunch of crazy stuff off taobao so it's gonna be

159
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:46,240
freaking awesome over the next little bit almost as awesome as my segways to our

160
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:50,240
sponsors like ting does mobile phone service differently there's no contracts

161
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:55,040
