00:00:05,799 --> 00:00:12,040
adata xpg V2 memory kits are optimized for the latest Intel gaming platforms

2
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:16,640
check the link in the video description for more details welcome to my unboxing

3
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:22,320
and overview of ivybridge e it is finally here so for

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,359
those of you who don't keep up with Intel code names the last few

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,279
generations of Core Series processors have been codenamed sandybridge

6
00:00:28,119 --> 00:00:33,960
ivybridge and Haswell so Sandy Bridge

7
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:38,120
largely refers to second generation core processors ivybridge generally refers to

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,960
third generation core processors and Haswell is the very latest fourth

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,399
generation core series processor that you'll find on LGA 1155 now when it has

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:53,399
an e after it that denotes the higher-end LGA 2011 socket which has

11
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,719
some advantages so this is the old

12
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:59,120
3960x this is the new

13
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:03,800
4960x meaning third generation versus fourth generation Al they use one

14
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,080
generation back core technology so to

15
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,280
speak but the point is on this platform you have some advantages that you will

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:17,080
likely never see on the mainstream platform number one is the motherboards

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:19,400
support quad Channel memory up to 8 dims

18
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:24,759
so that means that with modern 8 gbyte dims you could actually install 64 gigs

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:29,439
of just regular old consumer grade RAM on a regular old Gaming board or

20
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:35,600
workstation board on LGA 2011 with a single CPU next up is more PCI Express

21
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:43,560
Lanes so ivybridge e will have support for PCIe 3.0 and you can run dual

22
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:46,040
graphics cards in 16x 16x full bandwidth

23
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:50,280
this doesn't generally translate to any kind of a performance Improvement in the

24
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:56,719
real world versus an 8X 8X configuration that you can achieve on LGA 1155 1156 or

25
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:59,640
1150 but it definitely gives you bigger

26
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:03,799
bragging rights in your pants um so there's that that it's got going for it

27
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:09,280
and finally the part that matters most to me personally is that LGA 2011 is

28
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:14,840
where you'll find six core or eight core processors now the extreme Edition 4960x

29
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:20,200
which runs at a nominal frequency of 3.6 GHz and a max turbo turbo boost

30
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,000
frequency of 4 GHz is a six core

31
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:27,200
processor however there are zons available which will work in boards like

32
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:30,200
ASUS's WS series or in server grade

33
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,480
boards or even multi- CPU configurations

34
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:38,120
that will give you even more performance in highly parallel workloads that is

35
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:43,720
multi-threaded workloads such as you'll find in 3D rendering or Adobe After

36
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:48,879
Effects high-end video editing and those kinds of applications so this is where

37
00:02:45,959 --> 00:02:54,720
LGA 2011 is great for us because we use LGA 20111 Platforms in all of our video

38
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:58,360
editing workstations so we're using uh last generation extreme editions 3960 XS

39
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,120
what do you get with the new one well you'll get improved power consumption you will also get slightly improved

40
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,400
performance I shouldn't say slightly it's about a 10% clock for clock

41
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:12,280
Improvement in performance so that is IPC and you should be able to achieve

42
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:16,519
pretty much the same top end clock speed giving you a tangible performance

43
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,239
Improvement couple that with some of the per core Performance Tuning options that

44
00:03:19,239 --> 00:03:25,680
ASUS has been talking to me about and we should be looking at a performance

45
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:30,439
Improvement that while not necessarily what some people were expecting um will

46
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:34,360
be noticeable and for those of you who are expecting anything other than an

47
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:38,480
improvement in IPC of about 10% over Sandy Bridge e you probably didn't

48
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:43,000
really have your expectations aligned correctly because this is exactly what

49
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:50,519
we saw on the LGA 1150 platform going from something like a 2600k to a

50
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:52,720
3770k now I personally was hoping for an

51
00:03:50,519 --> 00:03:57,920
8 Core Extreme Edition I did not get my wish I feel that if AMD had put a little

52
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:02,799
bit more pressure on Intel to release like you know uh I mean these are 30 wat

53
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:05,879
TDP Parts already um I mean I feel like if AMD had put a little bit more

54
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:09,319
pressure on Intel to retake the performance crown or something like that

55
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:12,519
they might have done a very high TDP liquid cooling recommended 8 Core

56
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:17,799
Extreme Edition or something along those lines but alas we didn't get that so

57
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:21,479
it's left for xeons for the moment either way last but not least is

58
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,400
motherboard compatibility you can slot one of these babies into your existing

59
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,199
LGA 2011 motherboard you should only need a BIOS update but double check with

60
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:34,479
your manufacturer to make sure which I think is cool because LGA 2011 has

61
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:39,560
gotten a very very long life cycle out of it going from you know a across

62
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:46,240
processor architectures having quad core or six core CPUs available for it with

63
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:48,000
that said uh the 4930k and the 4960x are

64
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:54,639
really the ones I'd recommend from the new uh Ivy Bridge e the

65
00:04:51,919 --> 00:04:58,320
4820k is not something that I feel very like I can recommend very strongly

66
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:03,160
because while it is a lower priced option it all you're really getting is

67
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,479
more PCIe lanes and more memory support it's still a quad core and it won't

68
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:11,160
actually perform quite as well as a 4770k so unless you really need that RAM

69
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:16,919
and you're not willing to Pony up for a 4930k then uh then that that that might

70
00:05:14,919 --> 00:05:20,199
be the route to go um although the really The Sweet Spot I feel is the

71
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:23,680
4930k thanks for checking out this unboxing where I actually in case you

72
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,600
guys didn't notice never removed it from the box haha uh don't forget to

73
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:31,680
subscribe to L Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer I mean come on it's a CPU um like the

74
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:35,919
video if you liked it dislike if you disliked it and comment and let me know

75
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,120
if it's okay to do an unboxing where I don't actually open the box see look the

76
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,120
CPU in there it looks like every other CPU here's an open box
