1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,279
for a while now Intel's been providing us with Enthusiast grade X Series

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:11,120
platforms starting with x58 and since then rolling out x79 and x99 and

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:16,160
although most of you probably know that these chipsets support beefy 6 and 8

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:21,400
core processors and tons of PCI Express Lanes what exactly are you getting in

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,599
terms of performance by going for an X chipset and with the price of ddr4

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:29,359
dropping is it more feasible for the average PC Builder these days also like

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,559
the video if you guys are interested in more show content that's similar to the

8
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:40,169
style of scrapyard Wars but isn't necessarily the same

9
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:49,280
thing the Logitech g303 features a lightweight design an advanced Optical

10
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:54,680
sensor with Delta zero technology for precise tracking and RGB lighting to

00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,559
match your setup click now to learn more

12
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:03,480
today we have a showdown between the Haswell e core i7 5820k with six cores

13
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:08,680
and 12 threads running on an x99 chipset and the new Sky Lake core

14
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:14,200
i76700k with four cores and eight threads running on a zed 170 chipset

15
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:18,520
although the 5820k isn't the most expensive processor compatible with the

16
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:23,040
x99 chipset we picked it to see how a processor One Step Up from Intel's

17
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:28,479
highest and mainstream offering would fair in addition to the extra processing

18
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,280
cores x99 also offers more PCI Express

19
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:37,520
Lanes than the mainstream option like the Z 170 chipset you get 20 lanes with

20
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:41,240
the 6700k but 28 Lanes with the 5820k

21
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,079
and the more full fat x99 CPUs namely

22
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:49,920
the 5930k and the 5960x give you a total of

23
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,520
40 PCIe Lanes making x99 an interesting

24
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,159
option if you're planning to run three or four graphics cards but what about

25
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,399
those of us who don't have just huge stacks of cash to drop on an SLI or

26
00:01:57,479 --> 00:02:03,759
Crossfire setup and are just curious about moving moving to higher-end

27
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:09,080
chipsets well we checked prices on New Egg for the entire x99 and Zed 170

28
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:14,720
platforms including motherboards CPUs and ddr4 RAM at the time we shot this

29
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:22,720
video you could expect to pay about $30 more for a 5820k than a 6700k and about

30
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:25,879
75 more for an x99 motherboard than a

31
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,879
z170 so you're looking at around $1

32
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:32,519
100ish Delta total average cost for an

33
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:34,040
x99 platform using a 5820k comes out to

34
00:02:32,519 --> 00:02:41,519
about $745 assuming you'll pay around $15 for

35
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:44,200
16 GB of ddr4 RAM which has come down in

36
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:48,720
price quite a bit since this release one thing to keep in mind is that although

37
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,760
you can use quad Channel RAM on the x99

38
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,360
platform dual channel will actually work just fine so you should be able to save

39
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:59,879
a few bucks by buying just two sticks of memory if you can live without quad

40
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:04,519
Channel setup so what exactly do you get for that extra 100 bucks to find out we

41
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:08,799
ran a few numbers for both gaming and non-gaming benchmarks on our test bench

42
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:14,280
we used a pair of ASUS motherboards the x99 deluxe and the z170 deluxe and kept

43
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:20,159
all other components constant across both platforms namely 16 GB of Corsair

44
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:24,200
Vengeance DDR RAM running at

45
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:28,799
2,133 MHz a reference NVIDIA GTX

46
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:32,280
980ti and a 1 TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD a

47
00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:35,840
Corsair h100i GTX CPU Cooler and a

48
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,439
Corsair ax1200i power supply we ran both

49
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:42,280
of our CPUs and graphics cards at stock speeds jumping right into it we started

50
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:47,280
out with a couple synthetic benchmarks to test multicore performance although

51
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:53,280
the skyl 6700k performed respectively in both Cen and 7zip the 5820k with its six

52
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:59,879
cores outclassed it by a pretty comfortable margin winning by about 15%

53
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,680
in cinebench and about 23% in szip our

54
00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:05,079
single-threaded benchmarks though told a different story we use the dolphin

55
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:09,879
Benchmark which is actually part of a Nintendo Wii Emulator but never mind

56
00:04:07,079 --> 00:04:13,599
that we used it to retrace a 3D image here the Skylake processor shows its

57
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:18,519
improved single core performance as it beats out the more expensive Haswell e

58
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:22,759
chip by over 2 minutes we also ran web expert a benchmark that tests both HTML

59
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:28,680
5 and JavaScript performance on the latest version of Google Chrome the

60
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:31,600
6700k one again beating out the 5820k by

61
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:35,759
about 19 % in this more single core intensive task gaming wise we looked at

62
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,280
a couple titles that we knew about from past testing you can see our corer

63
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:43,880
gaming video up here we knew that they would benefit from a higher-end CPU

64
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:49,880
first up we used City skylines which we ran at 1080p with everything maxed out

65
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:52,520
here the 6700k won by a full 9 FPS even

66
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:57,680
with its fewer total cores moving all over to Total War atila however we also

67
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:03,680
ran at 1080p with extreme settings but this time around the 582k by a full 5

68
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:07,199
FPS we also wanted to check out a couple other popular titles just to see if

69
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,639
there was much of a difference in those Graphics intensive ones namely Tomb

70
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:15,360
Raider and Crisis 3 at 1080p the settings were cranked and it was hard to

71
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:20,919
distinguish these two chips apart although the 5820k W by two or 3 FPS in

72
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:26,800
both cases it wasn't a difference I'd call significant as both processors got

73
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:29,960
over 125 FPS in Tomb Raider and around

74
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,880
100 FPS in Crisis 3 so what's our

75
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,919
conclusion for starters it's pretty clear that the extra cores you get with

76
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:40,840
the x99 platform will help with things like encoding video and photo editing

77
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:46,199
and other heavy number crunching like tasks like say file compression or data

78
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:47,800
encryption but gaming results can vary

79
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:53,160
quite a bit depending on what's in your steam or origin library or whatever else

80
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:57,400
and the four core Skylake processors have a bit of a lead and more common

81
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:02,800
single-threaded tasks like web browsing and although you can overclock a 58 82k

82
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:07,759
to match the 4 GHz stock speed of the 6700k other tests have suggested that

83
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:12,520
Skylake is still Superior with respected instructions per clock or IPC meaning

84
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:16,680
that the Zed 170 looks like the way to go for most of you if what you're going

85
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:21,720
to be doing on your PC is web browsing and gaming even so thanks in part to the

86
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,800
greater availability of ddr4 memory it looks more affordable and practical than

87
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:30,120
ever before to set up an Enthusiast grade platform if you'll be taking

88
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:34,199
advantage of its extra cores and P C express lanes also don't forget that

89
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:40,599
we're seeing newer features natively supported by the Zed 170 such as USB 3.1

90
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:45,240
starting to pop up on newer x99 boards as well so you won't necessarily be

91
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:49,280
missing out on latest gen Tech and be left feeling like the CPUs are always

92
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,240
shinier on the other side of the proverbial fence if you're building a

93
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:59,000
