WEBVTT

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:13.440
CPU look i'm trying my best okay

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:20.720
this is a real fascinating one ladies and gentlemen this is not made by AMD or

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:27.680
Intel obviously because they wouldn't have called it that

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:30.480
but supposedly it is x86 compatible it

00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:35.200
is an x86 core based on some western designed products i believe so would it

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:37.200
be fair to call it a ripoff x86 CPU no i

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

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:45.280
message from our sponsor ting is a customer-focused mobile provider and

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

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

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

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

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:16.560
memory is this single channel dual channel i believe that's uh

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:21.600
i think it's dual channel it may not be what's

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:28.159
remarkable about it is how unremarkable it is 24 pin power 4 pin CPU connector

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:31.360
got your regular pwm fan connectors pci

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:33.680
express uh m.2 like it's

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

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

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:46.399
three slots but it's just a bit of a weird uh you know frankenstein form

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:50.159
factor that's the most bizarre thing about it it's just like a normal looking

00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:53.360
motherboard even the io i would describe as like

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

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:00.240
got the serial port the vga port it's actually useful in industrial

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:03.759
environments it's even got a parallel port if you want to plug in like a

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

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:12.879
there's nothing about it on the surface

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:18.959
to indicate that this is anything other than a normal computer until

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:24.160
that's the jiao shin kaichin there are a few things that we can tell

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:26.560
immediately about the hx002

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:32.239
ea was it yes one is that it has onboard graphics

00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:34.160
because clearly this vga and HDMI port

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:39.519
need to be powered by something two all of its i o appears to be built

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:44.879
directly into the CPU itself because it says this is a very very simple pcb we

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:50.080
can go straight from the CPU to the pci express lots dead straight line same for

00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:54.160
the RAM uh there appears to be no additional controller or like north

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:58.080
bridge or south bridge or anything like that on the motherboard what can you

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:02.000
tell us about the specs of this chip like is it single core dual core what

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:08.800
frequency does it run at what do we know about it this is an eight core

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.920
really at 2.7 gigahertz it is the kaisen

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:17.680
uh kx u6780a and it's based on um via's isaiah

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:20.879
core really so this has something to do with

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:26.720
via then they've managed to add a bunch of different features including china's

00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:29.760
homegrown hashing algorithm sm3 and hm4

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:32.239
as well as increasing the ipc by

00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:36.879
25 and then another i think 2x or something like that it's pretty crazy

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

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

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

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:52.239
they have an actual x86 license then

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:56.480
yeah truvia yeah so this could actually just like

00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:00.480
be plug and play this is this is crazy town of course it has

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:04.959
perfectly normal hd audio everything about it is just so normal

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

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:13.920
mounting for the CPU cooler oh yeah i noticed that they're using an Intel um

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

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:21.519
socket mount because there's no socket yeah there's adhesive on that back plate

00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:25.280
i actually uh installed it earlier on but theoretically you could install any

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.960
lga 11 5x cooler on this thing then couldn't you theoretically but not

00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:33.280
practically because of the height of the CPU die

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:38.960
no oh there's a bank of capacitors here oh that interferes directly it just

00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:40.440
barely clears them uh okay there we go

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:45.919
biosoft holy sh

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:54.639
so i'm just windowsing right now i'm running 60 hertz 4k with my jiaozhin

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:56.800
c960 series GPU at 400 megahertz 10-bit

00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:00.880
dac it's worth mentioning that in order to get the graphics to work i actually

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

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:12.639
that uh runs on the joushin architecture what they do not they do really

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

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:22.240
going to look like completely normal eight cores no smt so eight threads

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.520
memory is just showing up real normal like 21 33 megahertz we weren't able to

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

00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:34.479
BIOS this is actually the UEFI installation of Windows so we should be

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:39.600
able to reboot into uh startup settings and get there powered by

00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:43.759
that code name wu daoku

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:48.080
28 nanometer that's not correct actually really this should be the uh lugia

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:55.120
uh yeah what he said it should also be 16 nanometer 16

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:58.240
nanometer the CPU id is not reporting correctly in hardware involved it also

00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.000
says single channel memory so maybe that's not right either it's not just

00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:04.840
any 16 nanometer either it's tsmc's finfet

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.840
so this is like damn near

00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:13.440
cutting edge yeah like not quite but it's not far off

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:17.520
either this thing does it does like is it good

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.120
i don't know okay should probably

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.759
throw it up against some cinebench maybe all right all right all right

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

00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:32.319
uh 7400 shut up oh CPU-z seems to have a

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.680
better idea of what's going on here 16 nanometer

00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:41.600
socket 1548 turboing up to 2.7 here i saw that

00:06:39.280 --> 00:06:46.080
whoa that graphics core though so look i can

00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:51.520
actually move the mouse around here but it's like still dragging the window

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

00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:58.560
reports as a chipset the kx6000 that's

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

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:05.960
memory so let's fire up gpuz

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

00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:18.400
completely blank it's not funny it's what it thinks the card is

00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:18.400
there's nothing in here

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

00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:27.120
even when it had the microsoft basic display adapter driver it didn't know

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:32.560
here we go ladies and gentlemen cinebench r20 eight cores eight cores

00:07:29.919 --> 00:07:32.560
eight threads

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

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:45.520
can tell don't quote me on that though still wrapping my brain around this one

00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:49.199
ladies and gentlemen no it does seem slow this seems slow

00:07:47.599 --> 00:07:53.280
this has got to be slow i'm pretty sure this is slow don't spoil

00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.360
it don't spoil it well i was just going to say that

00:07:54.400 --> 00:08:03.039
one thing that centaur technologies cores really kind of emphasized was the

00:07:59.919 --> 00:08:04.960
kind of uh performance that their

00:08:03.039 --> 00:08:09.199
clientele needed and just making it a graphic yeah like adequate performance

00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:14.319
for certain workloads so their cores have generally been very simple and very

00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:17.039
small and consequently also very little

00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:23.919
power oh uh lttstore.com by the way all colors in stock it's done

00:08:20.039 --> 00:08:26.720
925 points for context i have a

00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:32.320
ivybridge core i5 though that's a quad core at about a thousand

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

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

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:44.240
window around i'm not no i'm not even

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

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

00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:56.880
immediately worked time to benchmark this puppy

00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:01.120
oh yeah look at that it passes the window dragging around the screen test

00:08:58.959 --> 00:09:05.680
with flying colors let's fire up some cs go here ladies and

00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:11.920
gentlemen the board that we got from taobao we paid about 617 us dollars it's

00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:17.279
not cheap i thought that's the point of like

00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:21.519
chinese knockoff stuff oh Linus that's not the point the chinese

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:25.600
government has set a target to reduce its uh consumption or use i

00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:29.839
guess of hardware and software made by external

00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:35.120
vendors by 2022 and this is a drop-in

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:38.800
replacement but it's so expensive well you got to look at it from the

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:41.760
perspective of where they were just like four years ago these cores were way

00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:46.640
slower and they were basically just modified

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:51.519
isaiah cores so like in kind of the trajectory they're on

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

00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:06.000
kid and it's not bedtime 30 FPS in that in that cs go right there

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:07.839
more like cs slow oh wow yeah this does

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:12.000
not run well as soon as the scene you know what hold

00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:16.079
on a second i want to get a smoke is this 4k

00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:22.480
uh i do believe it is running at 4k but with an rtx 28 ah

00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:24.160
it's 1080.

00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:27.890
oh i forgot i set a full screen 1080

00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.480
startup option

00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:37.519
that's terrible okay how bad is the smoke gonna kill me

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

00:10:40.640 --> 00:10:47.600
though how are they even seeing me ah

00:10:44.079 --> 00:10:49.040
oh wow those those frame drops though

00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:53.680
oh no no so close

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

00:10:55.839 --> 00:11:02.480
seem to be getting better like 40 here

00:11:00.959 --> 00:11:06.959
no it's not getting it's not getting better walk faster

00:11:04.560 --> 00:11:06.959
dance

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

00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:19.279
and if it follows the same trend as other technology the price shouldn't

00:11:17.839 --> 00:11:23.680
stay that high for long now all that remains is for us

00:11:21.839 --> 00:11:27.839
to check out some of the other options that china has to reduce its dependency

00:11:25.839 --> 00:11:32.959
on western technology make sure you are subscribed because one of them is like

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

00:11:34.880 --> 00:11:40.160
whole bunch of crazy stuff off taobao so it's gonna be

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:46.240
freaking awesome over the next little bit almost as awesome as my segways to our

00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:50.240
sponsors like ting does mobile phone service differently there's no contracts

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:55.040
no overage fees and no other carrier tricks you just pay a fair price for the

00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.959
talk text and data that you actually use it's especially great if you use your

00:11:56.880 --> 00:12:01.839
data really sporadically like if you're working from home sometimes and you

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.200
don't need it or you're in the office other times you can set alerts for each

00:12:03.920 --> 00:12:09.360
device in your account to keep your usage in check they've got nationwide

00:12:07.040 --> 00:12:13.279
lte coverage using t-mobile sprint and verizon and almost any phone will work

00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:19.200
with ting from that ancient motorola razer sitting in your basement to the latest iphone 11 series so check your

00:12:16.880 --> 00:12:23.680
phone's compatibility at Linus.ting.com and when you sign up you will get fifty

00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:28.000
dollars in credit towards your account if you guys enjoyed this video maybe

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:31.519
check out uh oh check out the crazy chinese motherboard that i uh that i

00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:36.000
fired up a little while ago that had a graphics card baked into it like a

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.120
GeForce one like a real one it's trippy
