00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:12.040
adata xpg V2 memory kits are optimized for the latest Intel gaming platforms

00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:16.640
check the link in the video description for more details welcome to my unboxing

00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:22.320
and overview of ivybridge e it is finally here so for

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:26.359
those of you who don't keep up with Intel code names the last few

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:31.279
generations of Core Series processors have been codenamed sandybridge

00:00:28.119 --> 00:00:33.960
ivybridge and Haswell so Sandy Bridge

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:38.120
largely refers to second generation core processors ivybridge generally refers to

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:41.960
third generation core processors and Haswell is the very latest fourth

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:47.399
generation core series processor that you'll find on LGA 1155 now when it has

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:53.399
an e after it that denotes the higher-end LGA 2011 socket which has

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:56.719
some advantages so this is the old

00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:59.120
3960x this is the new

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:03.800
4960x meaning third generation versus fourth generation Al they use one

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:06.080
generation back core technology so to

00:01:03.800 --> 00:01:09.280
speak but the point is on this platform you have some advantages that you will

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:17.080
likely never see on the mainstream platform number one is the motherboards

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:19.400
support quad Channel memory up to 8 dims

00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:24.759
so that means that with modern 8 gbyte dims you could actually install 64 gigs

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:29.439
of just regular old consumer grade RAM on a regular old Gaming board or

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:35.600
workstation board on LGA 2011 with a single CPU next up is more PCI Express

00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:43.560
Lanes so ivybridge e will have support for PCIe 3.0 and you can run dual

00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:46.040
graphics cards in 16x 16x full bandwidth

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:50.280
this doesn't generally translate to any kind of a performance Improvement in the

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:56.719
real world versus an 8X 8X configuration that you can achieve on LGA 1155 1156 or

00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:59.640
1150 but it definitely gives you bigger

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

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:09.280
and finally the part that matters most to me personally is that LGA 2011 is

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:14.840
where you'll find six core or eight core processors now the extreme Edition 4960x

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:20.200
which runs at a nominal frequency of 3.6 GHz and a max turbo turbo boost

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.000
frequency of 4 GHz is a six core

00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:27.200
processor however there are zons available which will work in boards like

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:30.200
ASUS's WS series or in server grade

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:32.480
boards or even multi- CPU configurations

00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:38.120
that will give you even more performance in highly parallel workloads that is

00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:43.720
multi-threaded workloads such as you'll find in 3D rendering or Adobe After

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:48.879
Effects high-end video editing and those kinds of applications so this is where

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

00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:58.360
editing workstations so we're using uh last generation extreme editions 3960 XS

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

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.400
performance I shouldn't say slightly it's about a 10% clock for clock

00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:12.280
Improvement in performance so that is IPC and you should be able to achieve

00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:16.519
pretty much the same top end clock speed giving you a tangible performance

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:21.239
Improvement couple that with some of the per core Performance Tuning options that

00:03:19.239 --> 00:03:25.680
ASUS has been talking to me about and we should be looking at a performance

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.439
Improvement that while not necessarily what some people were expecting um will

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:34.360
be noticeable and for those of you who are expecting anything other than an

00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:38.480
improvement in IPC of about 10% over Sandy Bridge e you probably didn't

00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:43.000
really have your expectations aligned correctly because this is exactly what

00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:50.519
we saw on the LGA 1150 platform going from something like a 2600k to a

00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.720
3770k now I personally was hoping for an

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

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

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

00:04:04.040 --> 00:04:09.319
pressure on Intel to retake the performance crown or something like that

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:12.519
they might have done a very high TDP liquid cooling recommended 8 Core

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:17.799
Extreme Edition or something along those lines but alas we didn't get that so

00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:21.479
it's left for xeons for the moment either way last but not least is

00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:25.400
motherboard compatibility you can slot one of these babies into your existing

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:29.199
LGA 2011 motherboard you should only need a BIOS update but double check with

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:34.479
your manufacturer to make sure which I think is cool because LGA 2011 has

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:39.560
gotten a very very long life cycle out of it going from you know a across

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:46.240
processor architectures having quad core or six core CPUs available for it with

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:48.000
that said uh the 4930k and the 4960x are

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:54.639
really the ones I'd recommend from the new uh Ivy Bridge e the

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:58.320
4820k is not something that I feel very like I can recommend very strongly

00:04:56.440 --> 00:05:03.160
because while it is a lower priced option it all you're really getting is

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

00:05:04.520 --> 00:05:11.160
actually perform quite as well as a 4770k so unless you really need that RAM

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

00:05:14.919 --> 00:05:20.199
be the route to go um although the really The Sweet Spot I feel is the

00:05:18.280 --> 00:05:23.680
4930k thanks for checking out this unboxing where I actually in case you

00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:26.600
guys didn't notice never removed it from the box haha uh don't forget to

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

00:05:30.280 --> 00:05:35.919
video if you liked it dislike if you disliked it and comment and let me know

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

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:43.120
CPU in there it looks like every other CPU here's an open box
