WEBVTT

00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:07.919
we've all done it you go on your favorite store or PC part picker select

00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:13.500
all the most expensive items in the drop downs then you gaze at it longingly for

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:16.980
a bit wipe the drool off your desk and go back to grinding Fletching levels in

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:23.340
RuneScape because fantasy time is officially over well not for the

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:25.740
engineers at HP they took it one step

00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:29.760
further and they actually built the dream machine and thanks to their

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:37.079
co-sponsorship of this video with Intel we get to see what happens when you

00:00:33.059 --> 00:00:38.340
actually press bye well the first thing

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:44.219
that happens is your credit card spontaneously combusts because each of

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

00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:52.559
alone then the next thing that happens is you

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

00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:01.800
little bit but we're gonna start by absolutely annihilating every rendering

00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:09.360
Benchmark we have ever done starting of course with the one and only a blender

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:12.320
don't blink because you might miss this

00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:12.320
start the render

00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:15.799
focus on

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:22.920
and it's done that was a sub nine second classroom

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:27.060
render and that was without the files cached

00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:30.060
let's do it again four

00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:33.380
two seconds

00:01:34.619 --> 00:01:41.939
we're gonna start measuring in frames per second not seconds per frame

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

00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:52.619
is it not even kicking all of these on we need to do a longer render

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:58.020
oh hold on this one's running on CPU I think that's

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.880
still really impressive this is it'll do

00:01:58.020 --> 00:02:05.219
Gooseberry in under three minutes on this CPU

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:08.720
wow that's what 56 cores will do for you

00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:13.200
all that'll cost you is a measly ah yes

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:15.480
350 watts of CPU power consumption

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:20.940
this is my first Hands-On with Intel Xeon scalable 3400 series chips and I

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

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

00:02:27.959 --> 00:02:33.239
boost in this HP machine is over 2.4

00:02:31.020 --> 00:02:41.459
which means she fast they are all working okay that

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:43.680
explains why it is so flipping fast but

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

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:53.900
start working and fans kick in

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.900
and it's done

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.940
I realize you might not have a lot of context for these scores we're getting

00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:03.660
so do yourself a favor go to the blender website download them and run them on

00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:08.700
your computer that should give you some idea how absolutely wild this is all

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:14.159
right blender man let's go oh my God this one's done already

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:16.500
15 seconds we barely even managed to

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:19.700
load the gpus for those of you who are not that familiar with blender what

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:24.300
we're doing is we're rendering photorealistic images here and the

00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:28.800
problem is that these are industry standard benchmarks that everyone knows

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

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:37.319
to start working it just spools up the assets rips through the render and then

00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:42.120
it's immediately over there's more overhead here than actual work being

00:03:39.420 --> 00:03:45.420
done of course you might think a few seconds here or there on your output is

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

00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:56.879
while anyway but the big difference here is that while you are working on a scene

00:03:52.799 --> 00:03:59.760
or working on a Model you can just

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:05.340
move it around and see it at basically full quality in just a few seconds

00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:10.439
look at it go is that incredible or what okay let's do

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:17.459
uh RTX oh here they all go

00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:19.919
man just keeping these gpus fed is quite

00:04:17.459 --> 00:04:26.400
the task for our poor CPU here once again it's only reporting usage for

00:04:22.979 --> 00:04:28.740
gpu2 but once again I am pretty sure

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:36.360
that all the gpus are loaded here yes they are

00:04:30.780 --> 00:04:39.900
hot damn this thing is drawing over 1200

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:43.199
watts on the GPU's alone

00:04:39.900 --> 00:04:45.000
this thing does 1500 watts of power

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:49.500
consumption I was barely breaking a sweat

00:04:47.699 --> 00:04:52.320
like it's making noise don't get me wrong

00:04:50.940 --> 00:04:57.600
but not a lot but again to give you guys

00:04:54.780 --> 00:05:03.240
some idea how impressive this is bone stock with only four gpus we are still

00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:08.639
in the top 50 here now the key night among you are probably thinking I'm

00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:11.280
sorry 240 90s is just as fast as your

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:17.280
four A6 thousands what's up with that RTX 4090s or gaming cards are designed

00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:22.680
to run as fast as possible driver certification and other features be

00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:24.900
damned whereas RTX a series cards

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:30.300
workstation cards are all about stability and they come with a lot more

00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:34.139
vram so that you can load them up with much larger scenes much larger workloads

00:05:32.820 --> 00:05:38.160
and they can operate on the whole thing while it's sitting in RAM

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

00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:49.800
this thing worth like 40 Grand we apparently don't even know the price

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:51.479
well the gpus are five grand each so

00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:56.520
more than 20. interesting even though there's no Envy

00:05:54.120 --> 00:06:00.840
link connectors we can totally select all four of them

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:06.120
okay we'll do that later though would you believe this machine is in the same

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:08.400
family as the 69 gaming PC so 10 years

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

00:06:10.979 --> 00:06:18.120
businesses architectural firms or resource exploration companies when they

00:06:16.380 --> 00:06:23.819
are offloading these things this could be your gaming PC you would

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

00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:34.280
to throw into it for gaming because this is not the best for gaming

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

00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:47.220
this isn't really a surprise but

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:51.720
this was working yeah oh it actually like made a difference

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:56.220
with the SLI like oh it improved things seriously yeah like were you getting

00:06:54.360 --> 00:07:00.600
like hundreds of FPS or like yeah yeah there was there was a noticeable

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

00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:10.139
broken now enough about gaming though look at these spec view perf results

00:07:07.080 --> 00:07:13.039
this machine is at or near the top of

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:18.840
the charts in every possible category CPU power GPU power this thing is God at

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

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:27.240
almost all mesh front two five and a

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:32.759
quarter inch Bays along with a Slimline Optical these are deceptive they are not

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:37.440
for your CD Rider okay these are actually so you can put up to eight hot

00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:42.900
swappable NVMe drives in here so like with the highest cap NVMe drives these

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:48.180
days that would be like 250 terabytes of NVMe storage dual front usbc's dual

00:07:46.139 --> 00:07:52.740
front usba's headphone microphone combo Jack and SD card reader let's turn this

00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:59.160
baby around and have a look from the oh actually the back soon but

00:07:55.740 --> 00:08:01.139
oh that makes sense nope you are not

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

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:10.080
airflow path that this thing has I probably wouldn't like that either we

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:15.840
will finish up with the outside then we will open it up single 120 millimeter

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:19.680
fan for exhaust my goodness this is hot

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:22.800
she's hot wow then we've got our three

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:26.879
gpus down here our rear motherboard eye

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.919
over here so a bunch more USB 3 10 gig

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:34.080
Ethernet absolutely love it is that a Management Port

00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:37.440
that's awesome you could totally remotely like upgrade the BIOS or

00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:42.479
whatever that's great for your it Department we've got dual power inputs

00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:48.320
they can either operate in aggregate mode to a total of 2250 Watts or in

00:08:46.260 --> 00:08:53.360
redundant mode where they will do up to 1450. so I guess we need aggregate mode

00:08:51.180 --> 00:09:00.360
for this configuration with the four a6000s this thing's freaking ridiculous

00:08:55.860 --> 00:09:03.240
so 16 monitors anyone I have never seen

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:08.700
anything like this before look at the freaking size of this power supply it

00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:11.640
uses a blower cooler air intakes on both

00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:14.940
sides there you go then exhaust out the back wow

00:09:13.560 --> 00:09:19.800
that's enough I want to see

00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:24.720
I'm sorry this is cool got a nice little map of

00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:28.820
where everything is inside including the order in which you need to populate your

00:09:26.640 --> 00:09:34.320
dim slots seems to be done yelling at me now all

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

00:09:36.779 --> 00:09:43.200
nice little shroud to make sure that the

00:09:39.899 --> 00:09:46.200
GPU is drawing air from the right place

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:47.820
where that place is not entirely clear

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:51.720
but that's okay we'll figure that out later

00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:56.459
you can tell HP had so much PCIe connectivity they didn't know what to do

00:09:53.339 --> 00:10:00.899
with it all the CPU supports up to 112

00:09:56.459 --> 00:10:03.360
PCIe Gen 5 lanes and we're using 32 of

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

00:10:05.820 --> 00:10:14.339
16 and then the motherboard is just littered in more PCIe connectivity we've

00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:16.740
got two by four NVMe connectors up here

00:10:14.339 --> 00:10:23.580
so presumably those are to handle the optional hotspot Bays that can hello

00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:27.899
somehow go over there and then we've got another one over here labeled Network

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

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

00:10:34.380 --> 00:10:42.180
add-in card oh you know what I bet the network one goes here

00:10:38.420 --> 00:10:44.959
whoa personality slot I've met some

00:10:42.180 --> 00:10:53.339
people who could use one of those okay personality slot I have no idea what's

00:10:49.140 --> 00:10:56.459
in these each of them is PCIe Gen 4x8 so

00:10:53.339 --> 00:10:59.040
there's another 16 Lanes but what they

00:10:56.459 --> 00:11:05.540
do is a mystery okay hold on so it looks like it's kind

00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:05.540
of a two-handed operation whoa

00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:10.459
shut up dual

00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:15.660
loaded onto these carrier boards looks

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

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

00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:29.880
do that one's a little bent um whoops

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

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

00:11:36.180 --> 00:11:44.220
carrier boards from a technician standpoint if Jeanette in accounting or

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:47.700
Bob from Shipping needs a new drive or they you know need more storage or

00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:52.019
whatever else being in and out like that instead of

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

00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.959
yeah I'm liking it and cooling wise what are

00:11:58.800 --> 00:12:04.920
we looking at here got a 92 millimeter intake here that's blowing across our

00:12:02.760 --> 00:12:10.560
top GPU which has this back mounted oh and front mounted intake that cools

00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:13.740
these then we've got another 120

00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:15.959
no that's a 92 and then we've got what

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

00:12:18.180 --> 00:12:24.000
other gpus and then is this for okay

00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:29.779
what are you doing what is with all these shrouds

00:12:26.339 --> 00:12:29.779
good gravy

00:12:31.260 --> 00:12:39.860
well that tall tower cooler explains how we were able to do a sustained 250 Watts

00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:43.079
on the CPU and then we've got a total of

00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:46.440
128 gigs of RAM in here but this CPU

00:12:43.079 --> 00:12:48.720
will support up to two terabytes

00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:54.779
two more 80 millimeter fans oh these are blowing directly down on

00:12:51.060 --> 00:12:58.620
the RAM they're blowing up from the RAM

00:12:54.779 --> 00:13:01.200
of trays interesting oh wow the intake

00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:08.639
comes in here okay then this grabs it then it goes through

00:13:06.060 --> 00:13:12.060
this shroud over to here and then this is grabbing air from over here or

00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:17.760
something and it's blowing it out and then this exhaust is taking it away they

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:19.860
do not want any hot air from anything

00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:23.279
else making its way into anything in this system

00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:28.320
no screws required do I just pull it out

00:13:25.380 --> 00:13:32.240
surely there's a oh hello oh yeah

00:13:30.560 --> 00:13:40.139
wow completely tool-less GPU removal

00:13:37.560 --> 00:13:43.260
and that's secure enough for shipping I guess that's what this rear support

00:13:41.339 --> 00:13:47.579
bracket and then these same pads that we saw on the top

00:13:45.420 --> 00:13:51.300
are going to do for you keep these babies secure and shipping I mean it got

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

00:13:52.620 --> 00:14:00.360
you guys are wondering well can it go even faster the answer is yes

00:13:58.260 --> 00:14:08.120
all we need to do is go into performance options and instead of performance mode

00:14:02.459 --> 00:14:08.120
we want rack mode you ready for this

00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:13.700
go go go go go go

00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:22.079
you can tell there's performance in there so much performance hold on we're still

00:14:18.959 --> 00:14:24.300
adding more performance oh wow okay yep

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

00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:33.420
mode let's see if we can beat those scores from last time

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:36.779
the gpus are absolutely pegged at 300

00:14:33.420 --> 00:14:39.240
watts now and the CPU sitting at 210.

00:14:36.779 --> 00:14:45.300
only a marginal score increase looks like our gpus weren't Limited in any way

00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:47.220
by our system fans but what I suspect is

00:14:45.300 --> 00:14:54.199
that our CPU is going to be able to Turbo a little bit higher

00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:57.300
oh that's a new whoa shut up

00:14:54.199 --> 00:15:00.300
375 watts

00:14:57.300 --> 00:15:03.420
did we touch 375 before that is

00:15:00.300 --> 00:15:05.880
definitely normal that's normal yes okay

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

00:15:09.839 --> 00:15:14.820
2.4 and change all right then power

00:15:13.260 --> 00:15:19.139
consumption doesn't change I guess it's just overcoming thermal limitations

00:15:16.380 --> 00:15:24.540
because look at this our CPU package isn't going above 55 degrees we touched

00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:28.860
a hundred before this difference in clock speed netted us about 4 000 more

00:15:26.760 --> 00:15:33.240
points in cinebench meaning the more cooling you can throw at the Xeon 3400

00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:36.899
series processors the better off you're going to be

00:15:34.380 --> 00:15:42.839
especially if you've got a 56 core one unlike previous Z8 workstations the Z8

00:15:39.540 --> 00:15:47.699
Fury G5 only supports a single CPU but

00:15:42.839 --> 00:15:49.820
when that CPU is the W9 3495x arguably

00:15:47.699 --> 00:15:55.260
the best workstation CPU on the market kind of makes sense

00:15:52.139 --> 00:15:59.399
eight channel ddr5 memory support turbo

00:15:55.260 --> 00:16:01.440
boosts up to 4.7 gigahertz 56 cores and

00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:07.019
the results speak for themselves that's 62 000 points in cinebench R23 Can Dance

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

00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:18.180
days of course we've only scratched the surface of what a machine like this can

00:16:16.139 --> 00:16:23.699
do these are used for everything from game design to Ai and data science

00:16:21.420 --> 00:16:29.220
research to 3D rendering which of course we've talked about but architectural

00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:31.199
design engineering video editing you

00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:36.240
name it it can handle it the one exception would be gaming while you

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

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

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:50.699
HP for sponsoring this video it was a genuine pleasure to get my hands on the

00:16:48.300 --> 00:16:55.259
absolute best of the best dream machine tier PC and we have to send this back

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:58.019
yeah all right well I guess that's all the

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

00:17:01.199 --> 00:17:06.980
c boxes fill up very fast whoa
