1
00:00:00,260 --> 00:00:07,919
we've all done it you go on your favorite store or PC part picker select

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:13,500
all the most expensive items in the drop downs then you gaze at it longingly for

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:16,980
a bit wipe the drool off your desk and go back to grinding Fletching levels in

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:23,340
RuneScape because fantasy time is officially over well not for the

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,740
engineers at HP they took it one step

6
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:29,760
further and they actually built the dream machine and thanks to their

7
00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:37,079
co-sponsorship of this video with Intel we get to see what happens when you

8
00:00:33,059 --> 00:00:38,340
actually press bye well the first thing

9
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:44,219
that happens is your credit card spontaneously combusts because each of

10
00:00:41,579 --> 00:00:48,360
the four gpus in this thing costs as much as a top of the line gaming PC

11
00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:52,559
alone then the next thing that happens is you

12
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:56,340
get to go faster than you've ever gone before we're gonna crack it open in a

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:01,800
little bit but we're gonna start by absolutely annihilating every rendering

14
00:00:59,219 --> 00:01:09,360
Benchmark we have ever done starting of course with the one and only a blender

15
00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:12,320
don't blink because you might miss this

16
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,320
start the render

17
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:15,799
focus on

18
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,920
and it's done that was a sub nine second classroom

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,060
render and that was without the files cached

20
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:30,060
let's do it again four

21
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:33,380
two seconds

22
00:01:34,619 --> 00:01:41,939
we're gonna start measuring in frames per second not seconds per frame

23
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:47,759
that's not even long enough for me to see the usage show up on the gpus

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:52,619
is it not even kicking all of these on we need to do a longer render

25
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:58,020
oh hold on this one's running on CPU I think that's

26
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,880
still really impressive this is it'll do

27
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:05,219
Gooseberry in under three minutes on this CPU

28
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:08,720
wow that's what 56 cores will do for you

29
00:02:05,219 --> 00:02:13,200
all that'll cost you is a measly ah yes

30
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:15,480
350 watts of CPU power consumption

31
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:20,940
this is my first Hands-On with Intel Xeon scalable 3400 series chips and I

32
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:25,379
gotta say I'm liking what I see so far I was pretty thrown off when I found out

33
00:02:23,340 --> 00:02:31,020
that the 56 core has a base clock of just 1.9 gigahertz but the all core

34
00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:33,239
boost in this HP machine is over 2.4

35
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:41,459
which means she fast they are all working okay that

36
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,680
explains why it is so flipping fast but

37
00:02:41,459 --> 00:02:47,540
see this there's a delay in the time that it takes for the gpus to actually

38
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:53,900
start working and fans kick in

39
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:53,900
and it's done

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,940
I realize you might not have a lot of context for these scores we're getting

41
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:03,660
so do yourself a favor go to the blender website download them and run them on

42
00:03:02,099 --> 00:03:08,700
your computer that should give you some idea how absolutely wild this is all

43
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:14,159
right blender man let's go oh my God this one's done already

44
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,500
15 seconds we barely even managed to

45
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:19,700
load the gpus for those of you who are not that familiar with blender what

46
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:24,300
we're doing is we're rendering photorealistic images here and the

47
00:03:22,379 --> 00:03:28,800
problem is that these are industry standard benchmarks that everyone knows

48
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:32,940
and this machine is running them so fast that it doesn't even really get a chance

49
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:37,319
to start working it just spools up the assets rips through the render and then

50
00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:42,120
it's immediately over there's more overhead here than actual work being

51
00:03:39,420 --> 00:03:45,420
done of course you might think a few seconds here or there on your output is

52
00:03:44,099 --> 00:03:50,280
not going to make that big of a difference I mean you got to run and get coffee or use the bathroom once in a

53
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:56,879
while anyway but the big difference here is that while you are working on a scene

54
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:59,760
or working on a Model you can just

55
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:05,340
move it around and see it at basically full quality in just a few seconds

56
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:10,439
look at it go is that incredible or what okay let's do

57
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:17,459
uh RTX oh here they all go

58
00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:19,919
man just keeping these gpus fed is quite

59
00:04:17,459 --> 00:04:26,400
the task for our poor CPU here once again it's only reporting usage for

60
00:04:22,979 --> 00:04:28,740
gpu2 but once again I am pretty sure

61
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:36,360
that all the gpus are loaded here yes they are

62
00:04:30,780 --> 00:04:39,900
hot damn this thing is drawing over 1200

63
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:43,199
watts on the GPU's alone

64
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:45,000
this thing does 1500 watts of power

65
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:49,500
consumption I was barely breaking a sweat

66
00:04:47,699 --> 00:04:52,320
like it's making noise don't get me wrong

67
00:04:50,940 --> 00:04:57,600
but not a lot but again to give you guys

68
00:04:54,780 --> 00:05:03,240
some idea how impressive this is bone stock with only four gpus we are still

69
00:05:00,660 --> 00:05:08,639
in the top 50 here now the key night among you are probably thinking I'm

70
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:11,280
sorry 240 90s is just as fast as your

71
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:17,280
four A6 thousands what's up with that RTX 4090s or gaming cards are designed

72
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:22,680
to run as fast as possible driver certification and other features be

73
00:05:19,259 --> 00:05:24,900
damned whereas RTX a series cards

74
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:30,300
workstation cards are all about stability and they come with a lot more

75
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,139
vram so that you can load them up with much larger scenes much larger workloads

76
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:38,160
and they can operate on the whole thing while it's sitting in RAM

77
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:43,199
which isn't to say that they can't game play some Halo infinite on a how much is

78
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:49,800
this thing worth like 40 Grand we apparently don't even know the price

79
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:51,479
well the gpus are five grand each so

80
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:56,520
more than 20. interesting even though there's no Envy

81
00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,840
link connectors we can totally select all four of them

82
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:06,120
okay we'll do that later though would you believe this machine is in the same

83
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:08,400
family as the 69 gaming PC so 10 years

84
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:13,620
from now no for real think about it when these are being offloaded by the ball or

85
00:06:10,979 --> 00:06:18,120
businesses architectural firms or resource exploration companies when they

86
00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:23,819
are offloading these things this could be your gaming PC you would

87
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:29,759
take out three of the gpus or you would you know pick up a cheap second-hand GPU

88
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:34,280
to throw into it for gaming because this is not the best for gaming

89
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:44,880
in summary SLI hasn't been worked on in a long time by game developers or NVIDIA

90
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:47,220
this isn't really a surprise but

91
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:51,720
this was working yeah oh it actually like made a difference

92
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:56,220
with the SLI like oh it improved things seriously yeah like were you getting

93
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,600
like hundreds of FPS or like yeah yeah there was there was a noticeable

94
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:05,220
difference in FPS well I don't know what to tell you because she is sure as shoot

95
00:07:03,060 --> 00:07:10,139
broken now enough about gaming though look at these spec view perf results

96
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:13,039
this machine is at or near the top of

97
00:07:10,139 --> 00:07:18,840
the charts in every possible category CPU power GPU power this thing is God at

98
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:25,800
all let's take a closer look at what's going on inside oh no first outside

99
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,240
almost all mesh front two five and a

100
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:32,759
quarter inch Bays along with a Slimline Optical these are deceptive they are not

101
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:37,440
for your CD Rider okay these are actually so you can put up to eight hot

102
00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:42,900
swappable NVMe drives in here so like with the highest cap NVMe drives these

103
00:07:40,259 --> 00:07:48,180
days that would be like 250 terabytes of NVMe storage dual front usbc's dual

104
00:07:46,139 --> 00:07:52,740
front usba's headphone microphone combo Jack and SD card reader let's turn this

105
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:59,160
baby around and have a look from the oh actually the back soon but

106
00:07:55,740 --> 00:08:01,139
oh that makes sense nope you are not

107
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:05,099
allowed to open it up while it's on I mean if I had the kind of optimized

108
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:10,080
airflow path that this thing has I probably wouldn't like that either we

109
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:15,840
will finish up with the outside then we will open it up single 120 millimeter

110
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:19,680
fan for exhaust my goodness this is hot

111
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:22,800
she's hot wow then we've got our three

112
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:26,879
gpus down here our rear motherboard eye

113
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,919
over here so a bunch more USB 3 10 gig

114
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:34,080
Ethernet absolutely love it is that a Management Port

115
00:08:31,159 --> 00:08:37,440
that's awesome you could totally remotely like upgrade the BIOS or

116
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:42,479
whatever that's great for your it Department we've got dual power inputs

117
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:48,320
they can either operate in aggregate mode to a total of 2250 Watts or in

118
00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:53,360
redundant mode where they will do up to 1450. so I guess we need aggregate mode

119
00:08:51,180 --> 00:09:00,360
for this configuration with the four a6000s this thing's freaking ridiculous

120
00:08:55,860 --> 00:09:03,240
so 16 monitors anyone I have never seen

121
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:08,700
anything like this before look at the freaking size of this power supply it

122
00:09:05,220 --> 00:09:11,640
uses a blower cooler air intakes on both

123
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:14,940
sides there you go then exhaust out the back wow

124
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:19,800
that's enough I want to see

125
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:24,720
I'm sorry this is cool got a nice little map of

126
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:28,820
where everything is inside including the order in which you need to populate your

127
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:34,320
dim slots seems to be done yelling at me now all

128
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:39,899
we need to do is figure out how oh nice little pad to keep the GPU in place

129
00:09:36,779 --> 00:09:43,200
nice little shroud to make sure that the

130
00:09:39,899 --> 00:09:46,200
GPU is drawing air from the right place

131
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,820
where that place is not entirely clear

132
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:51,720
but that's okay we'll figure that out later

133
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:56,459
you can tell HP had so much PCIe connectivity they didn't know what to do

134
00:09:53,339 --> 00:10:00,899
with it all the CPU supports up to 112

135
00:09:56,459 --> 00:10:03,360
PCIe Gen 5 lanes and we're using 32 of

136
00:10:00,899 --> 00:10:07,640
them for these top two slots right here these two down here running at Gen 4 by

137
00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:14,339
16 and then the motherboard is just littered in more PCIe connectivity we've

138
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:16,740
got two by four NVMe connectors up here

139
00:10:14,339 --> 00:10:23,580
so presumably those are to handle the optional hotspot Bays that can hello

140
00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:27,899
somehow go over there and then we've got another one over here labeled Network

141
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:32,220
that's either going to be for well some kind of network interface you add at the

142
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:36,420
back though I don't see where it goes or it could be for the optional Thunderbolt

143
00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:42,180
add-in card oh you know what I bet the network one goes here

144
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:44,959
whoa personality slot I've met some

145
00:10:42,180 --> 00:10:53,339
people who could use one of those okay personality slot I have no idea what's

146
00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:56,459
in these each of them is PCIe Gen 4x8 so

147
00:10:53,339 --> 00:10:59,040
there's another 16 Lanes but what they

148
00:10:56,459 --> 00:11:05,540
do is a mystery okay hold on so it looks like it's kind

149
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:05,540
of a two-handed operation whoa

150
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,459
shut up dual

151
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:15,660
loaded onto these carrier boards looks

152
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:20,459
like they can do up to 110 millimeter m.2 drives but it's pre-loaded with your

153
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,779
standard 80 millimeter drives there's a couple one terabyte m.2s don't mind if I

154
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:29,880
do that one's a little bent um whoops

155
00:11:27,660 --> 00:11:32,880
it's not because of me do I do that oh I did that no nevermind it's flat

156
00:11:31,980 --> 00:11:38,519
okay okay well I can't say that I'm the biggest fan in general of proprietary

157
00:11:36,180 --> 00:11:44,220
carrier boards from a technician standpoint if Jeanette in accounting or

158
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:47,700
Bob from Shipping needs a new drive or they you know need more storage or

159
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:52,019
whatever else being in and out like that instead of

160
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,860
having to rip out a bunch of gpus and get at m.2s that are under it

161
00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:00,959
yeah I'm liking it and cooling wise what are

162
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,920
we looking at here got a 92 millimeter intake here that's blowing across our

163
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:10,560
top GPU which has this back mounted oh and front mounted intake that cools

164
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:13,740
these then we've got another 120

165
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:15,959
no that's a 92 and then we've got what

166
00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:21,240
appears to be another 120 down here in the bottom to take care of our CPU our

167
00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:24,000
other gpus and then is this for okay

168
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:29,779
what are you doing what is with all these shrouds

169
00:12:26,339 --> 00:12:29,779
good gravy

170
00:12:31,260 --> 00:12:39,860
well that tall tower cooler explains how we were able to do a sustained 250 Watts

171
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:43,079
on the CPU and then we've got a total of

172
00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:46,440
128 gigs of RAM in here but this CPU

173
00:12:43,079 --> 00:12:48,720
will support up to two terabytes

174
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:54,779
two more 80 millimeter fans oh these are blowing directly down on

175
00:12:51,060 --> 00:12:58,620
the RAM they're blowing up from the RAM

176
00:12:54,779 --> 00:13:01,200
of trays interesting oh wow the intake

177
00:12:58,620 --> 00:13:08,639
comes in here okay then this grabs it then it goes through

178
00:13:06,060 --> 00:13:12,060
this shroud over to here and then this is grabbing air from over here or

179
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:17,760
something and it's blowing it out and then this exhaust is taking it away they

180
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:19,860
do not want any hot air from anything

181
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:23,279
else making its way into anything in this system

182
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:28,320
no screws required do I just pull it out

183
00:13:25,380 --> 00:13:32,240
surely there's a oh hello oh yeah

184
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:40,139
wow completely tool-less GPU removal

185
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:43,260
and that's secure enough for shipping I guess that's what this rear support

186
00:13:41,339 --> 00:13:47,579
bracket and then these same pads that we saw on the top

187
00:13:45,420 --> 00:13:51,300
are going to do for you keep these babies secure and shipping I mean it got

188
00:13:49,139 --> 00:13:54,480
here in one piece of course now that you've seen all the hardware I'm sure

189
00:13:52,620 --> 00:14:00,360
you guys are wondering well can it go even faster the answer is yes

190
00:13:58,260 --> 00:14:08,120
all we need to do is go into performance options and instead of performance mode

191
00:14:02,459 --> 00:14:08,120
we want rack mode you ready for this

192
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,700
go go go go go go

193
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:22,079
you can tell there's performance in there so much performance hold on we're still

194
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:24,300
adding more performance oh wow okay yep

195
00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:27,000
I can see why this is rack mode and not sitting next to your desk in an office

196
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:33,420
mode let's see if we can beat those scores from last time

197
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:36,779
the gpus are absolutely pegged at 300

198
00:14:33,420 --> 00:14:39,240
watts now and the CPU sitting at 210.

199
00:14:36,779 --> 00:14:45,300
only a marginal score increase looks like our gpus weren't Limited in any way

200
00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:47,220
by our system fans but what I suspect is

201
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:54,199
that our CPU is going to be able to Turbo a little bit higher

202
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:57,300
oh that's a new whoa shut up

203
00:14:54,199 --> 00:15:00,300
375 watts

204
00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:03,420
did we touch 375 before that is

205
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:05,880
definitely normal that's normal yes okay

206
00:15:03,420 --> 00:15:13,260
no this is working as intended we're getting 2.6 2.7 gigahertz now instead of

207
00:15:09,839 --> 00:15:14,820
2.4 and change all right then power

208
00:15:13,260 --> 00:15:19,139
consumption doesn't change I guess it's just overcoming thermal limitations

209
00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:24,540
because look at this our CPU package isn't going above 55 degrees we touched

210
00:15:22,620 --> 00:15:28,860
a hundred before this difference in clock speed netted us about 4 000 more

211
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:33,240
points in cinebench meaning the more cooling you can throw at the Xeon 3400

212
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,899
series processors the better off you're going to be

213
00:15:34,380 --> 00:15:42,839
especially if you've got a 56 core one unlike previous Z8 workstations the Z8

214
00:15:39,540 --> 00:15:47,699
Fury G5 only supports a single CPU but

215
00:15:42,839 --> 00:15:49,820
when that CPU is the W9 3495x arguably

216
00:15:47,699 --> 00:15:55,260
the best workstation CPU on the market kind of makes sense

217
00:15:52,139 --> 00:15:59,399
eight channel ddr5 memory support turbo

218
00:15:55,260 --> 00:16:01,440
boosts up to 4.7 gigahertz 56 cores and

219
00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:07,019
the results speak for themselves that's 62 000 points in cinebench R23 Can Dance

220
00:16:06,060 --> 00:16:12,660
all day it's no wonder Apple's only giving you like 800 for a Mac Pro trade in these

221
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:18,180
days of course we've only scratched the surface of what a machine like this can

222
00:16:16,139 --> 00:16:23,699
do these are used for everything from game design to Ai and data science

223
00:16:21,420 --> 00:16:29,220
research to 3D rendering which of course we've talked about but architectural

224
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,199
design engineering video editing you

225
00:16:29,220 --> 00:16:36,240
name it it can handle it the one exception would be gaming while you

226
00:16:33,779 --> 00:16:40,980
could spend 10 times as much as you did on your gaming PC you really don't have

227
00:16:38,699 --> 00:16:45,839
to because it's not for gaming until 10 years from now thanks again to Intel and

228
00:16:43,259 --> 00:16:50,699
HP for sponsoring this video it was a genuine pleasure to get my hands on the

229
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:55,259
absolute best of the best dream machine tier PC and we have to send this back

230
00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:58,019
yeah all right well I guess that's all the

231
00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:04,140
playing I get to I'm gonna run this one more time this is like my favorite game

232
00:17:01,199 --> 00:17:06,980
c boxes fill up very fast whoa
