1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,160
okay so lineus there's desktop computers and then there's like server computers

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,920
but how different are they exactly well

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:14,799
any computer actually has the same basic components processor working memory

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:19,279
storage Etc and you may be surprised to hear that fundamentally they're not that

5
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:24,359
different with some of those components even coming off the same assembly line

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,920
but that doesn't mean that you can just grab off-the-shelf desktop components

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:34,559
and like fashion yourself a server I mean sure this core 7 runs at 3.8 GHz

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:39,920
and this Zeon runs at 3.8 GHz but it costs way more well hold on in just a

9
00:00:36,879 --> 00:00:41,840
second hold off on the core i7 sometimes

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,520
there's more to it than gigahertz and gigabytes and all those gigas so let's

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,399
get this list of differences kicked off number one we just discovered server

12
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:55,120
gear is much more expensive for specifications that often appear similar

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,879
or even worse at times but why you get

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:02,879
intercompatibility with other server grade Hardware things like EC C and

15
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:07,240
registered RAM support a bullet point that's hidden halfway down the product

16
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:11,080
page for that CPU from before now while using memory that is slightly more

17
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:15,960
resistant to errors might not seem like a big deal to a typical desktop User

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:20,720
it's absolutely critical for a server in a desktop environment one little tiny

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,960
RAM error caused by like cosmic rays might cause Little Sally the cute

20
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:28,400
picture she made in Ms paint but in a server it could result in the loss of a

21
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:32,119
patient's medical records or who knows what else not to mention speaking of

22
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:36,280
intercompatibility that server memory is available in much higher capacities so

23
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,759
you got to have support for that we find the next difference in the little

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,840
details the characteristics of a product that don't always find their way onto a

25
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,399
spec sheet for example server and workstation grade Hardware uses higher

26
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:53,399
quality components and is subjected to much more rigorous quality testing and

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:59,159
validation they not only are made to handle heavier Duty Cycles but also live

28
00:01:56,039 --> 00:02:01,840
longer overall while doing it now on to

29
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:07,119
features silent operation a bunch of usb3 ports and like overclocking

30
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,479
settings out the Wazoo are not the kinds of things that server clients will want

31
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:14,160
to spend money on which doesn't mean that they're cheap skates they'll pay

32
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,640
big money for stuff like fancy networking capabilities Remote

33
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:21,760
Management interfaces and Hardware redundancy so that the machine won't

34
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,599
experience any downtime even in the event of a hardware failure on something

35
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:30,200
like a power supply and it's great that they buy this stuff because it drives

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,120
the costs down for us desktop folks in the future so my next Point actually

37
00:02:33,239 --> 00:02:39,640
ties at least partially into most of the others server Hardware is optimized for

38
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,959
different workloads for example on the desktop our applications aren't heavily

39
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:48,760
multi-threaded so higher frequency processors with fewer cores work really

40
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:52,800
well but a server might run an operating system and software that takes much

41
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:57,560
better advantage of multiple processing cores so we might get much better

42
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:02,000
results with a lower clocked server CPU that has more processing cores or even

43
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:06,760
even with multiple CPUs to further spread up the workload and then finally

44
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:11,239
there are the optimizations made for the environment in which a server will

45
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,799
operate for example a consumer and Enterprise grade hard drive might share

46
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:18,799
much of the same technology it's a bit of a recurring theme here but a server

47
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:22,959
hard drive is much more resistant to wear and tear from vibration something

48
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:27,200
that doesn't matter for a drive sitting in a desktop by itself but that is

49
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:31,799
critical for a drive that's surrounded on all sides by other drives spinning

50
00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:36,760
and clicking away doing their own work and there are so many little things like

51
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,599
this a server won't compromise on power consumption or increase size

52
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:46,080
unnecessarily to squeeze a little bit more performance out of the hardware like a gaming rig would it's all about

53
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:50,159
how much computing power can fit in as small a space as possible while

54
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:54,200
consuming as little power as possible the general consumer has different

55
00:03:51,799 --> 00:03:57,920
priorities in a big tower that consumes a couple more watts doesn't really

56
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:02,000
matter when you got one family PC in the house or even two or three or four but

57
00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:06,680
if you were buying 5,000 of them it would be a different story which is

58
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:11,159
exactly how I'm going to segue awkwardly reaching for it here into our sponsor

59
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,439
message about razors if once per year I had to go buy one razor the time and

60
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,400
money that I wasted driving to the store and like slaying the guardian of

61
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,240
indifference who holds the key of unnecessary existence that unlocks the

62
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,240
secret shelf of Razor door just to get a

63
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,080
close comfortable shave on my face none of that would be an issue the problem is

64
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:34,560
that you have to do it all the time and that's where dollar sh Shave Club comes in for a few bucks a month Dollar Shave

65
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:40,600
Club delivers razors straight to your door every month without any hassle or

66
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:42,759
BS the blades are well they're that the

67
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,400
service is prompt and the quality is as good as or better than the brand name

68
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:51,639
ones join the club now at dollarshaveclub.com Linus and check out

69
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:55,080
their shaving supplies as well as their one wipe Charlies which are peppermint

70
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:58,479
scented butt wipes for men they're really great I've been getting all kinds

71
00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:01,800
of compliments on the smell of my butt since I started using them thanks for

72
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,720
checking out this episode of fast as possible like this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a

comment if you have suggestions for future episodes of fast as possible or

74
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,600
if you just have something to say about you know this video or the smell of my

75
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:18,280
but or whatever else we're totally open to your feedback actually maybe we should avoid

76
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:24,039
that last topic you know I don't want this video to get flagged for inappropriate content like wow that

77
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,800
that's the most amazing butt ever and I I think we're done here don't forget to
