00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.160
okay so lineus there's desktop computers and then there's like server computers

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:09.920
but how different are they exactly well

00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:14.799
any computer actually has the same basic components processor working memory

00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:19.279
storage Etc and you may be surprised to hear that fundamentally they're not that

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:24.359
different with some of those components even coming off the same assembly line

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:28.920
but that doesn't mean that you can just grab off-the-shelf desktop components

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

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

00:00:36.879 --> 00:00:41.840
second hold off on the core i7 sometimes

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.520
there's more to it than gigahertz and gigabytes and all those gigas so let's

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.399
get this list of differences kicked off number one we just discovered server

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:55.120
gear is much more expensive for specifications that often appear similar

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:57.879
or even worse at times but why you get

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:02.879
intercompatibility with other server grade Hardware things like EC C and

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:07.240
registered RAM support a bullet point that's hidden halfway down the product

00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:11.080
page for that CPU from before now while using memory that is slightly more

00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:15.960
resistant to errors might not seem like a big deal to a typical desktop User

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:20.720
it's absolutely critical for a server in a desktop environment one little tiny

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:23.960
RAM error caused by like cosmic rays might cause Little Sally the cute

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

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:32.119
patient's medical records or who knows what else not to mention speaking of

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:36.280
intercompatibility that server memory is available in much higher capacities so

00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:39.759
you got to have support for that we find the next difference in the little

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:43.840
details the characteristics of a product that don't always find their way onto a

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.399
spec sheet for example server and workstation grade Hardware uses higher

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:53.399
quality components and is subjected to much more rigorous quality testing and

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:59.159
validation they not only are made to handle heavier Duty Cycles but also live

00:01:56.039 --> 00:02:01.840
longer overall while doing it now on to

00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:07.119
features silent operation a bunch of usb3 ports and like overclocking

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:10.479
settings out the Wazoo are not the kinds of things that server clients will want

00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:14.160
to spend money on which doesn't mean that they're cheap skates they'll pay

00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:17.640
big money for stuff like fancy networking capabilities Remote

00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:21.760
Management interfaces and Hardware redundancy so that the machine won't

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:26.599
experience any downtime even in the event of a hardware failure on something

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:30.200
like a power supply and it's great that they buy this stuff because it drives

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:35.120
the costs down for us desktop folks in the future so my next Point actually

00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:39.640
ties at least partially into most of the others server Hardware is optimized for

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.959
different workloads for example on the desktop our applications aren't heavily

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:48.760
multi-threaded so higher frequency processors with fewer cores work really

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:52.800
well but a server might run an operating system and software that takes much

00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:57.560
better advantage of multiple processing cores so we might get much better

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:02.000
results with a lower clocked server CPU that has more processing cores or even

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:06.760
even with multiple CPUs to further spread up the workload and then finally

00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:11.239
there are the optimizations made for the environment in which a server will

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.799
operate for example a consumer and Enterprise grade hard drive might share

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

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:22.959
hard drive is much more resistant to wear and tear from vibration something

00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:27.200
that doesn't matter for a drive sitting in a desktop by itself but that is

00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:31.799
critical for a drive that's surrounded on all sides by other drives spinning

00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:36.760
and clicking away doing their own work and there are so many little things like

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:40.599
this a server won't compromise on power consumption or increase size

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

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:50.159
how much computing power can fit in as small a space as possible while

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:54.200
consuming as little power as possible the general consumer has different

00:03:51.799 --> 00:03:57.920
priorities in a big tower that consumes a couple more watts doesn't really

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

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:06.680
if you were buying 5,000 of them it would be a different story which is

00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:11.159
exactly how I'm going to segue awkwardly reaching for it here into our sponsor

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

00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:19.400
money that I wasted driving to the store and like slaying the guardian of

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.240
indifference who holds the key of unnecessary existence that unlocks the

00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.240
secret shelf of Razor door just to get a

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:29.080
close comfortable shave on my face none of that would be an issue the problem is

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

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:40.600
Club delivers razors straight to your door every month without any hassle or

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:42.759
BS the blades are well they're that the

00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:46.400
service is prompt and the quality is as good as or better than the brand name

00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:51.639
ones join the club now at dollarshaveclub.com Linus and check out

00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:55.080
their shaving supplies as well as their one wipe Charlies which are peppermint

00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:58.479
scented butt wipes for men they're really great I've been getting all kinds

00:04:56.840 --> 00:05:01.800
of compliments on the smell of my butt since I started using them thanks for

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

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

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:18.280
but or whatever else we're totally open to your feedback actually maybe we should avoid

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

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
