00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.279
for a while now Intel's been providing us with Enthusiast grade X Series

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:11.120
platforms starting with x58 and since then rolling out x79 and x99 and

00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:16.160
although most of you probably know that these chipsets support beefy 6 and 8

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:21.400
core processors and tons of PCI Express Lanes what exactly are you getting in

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:25.599
terms of performance by going for an X chipset and with the price of ddr4

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:29.359
dropping is it more feasible for the average PC Builder these days also like

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:33.559
the video if you guys are interested in more show content that's similar to the

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:40.169
style of scrapyard Wars but isn't necessarily the same

00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:49.280
thing the Logitech g303 features a lightweight design an advanced Optical

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

00:00:54.680 --> 00:01:03.480
today we have a showdown between the Haswell e core i7 5820k with six cores

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:08.680
and 12 threads running on an x99 chipset and the new Sky Lake core

00:01:06.119 --> 00:01:14.200
i76700k with four cores and eight threads running on a zed 170 chipset

00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:18.520
although the 5820k isn't the most expensive processor compatible with the

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:23.040
x99 chipset we picked it to see how a processor One Step Up from Intel's

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:28.479
highest and mainstream offering would fair in addition to the extra processing

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:30.280
cores x99 also offers more PCI Express

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:37.520
Lanes than the mainstream option like the Z 170 chipset you get 20 lanes with

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:41.240
the 6700k but 28 Lanes with the 5820k

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:42.079
and the more full fat x99 CPUs namely

00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:49.920
the 5930k and the 5960x give you a total of

00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:51.520
40 PCIe Lanes making x99 an interesting

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.159
option if you're planning to run three or four graphics cards but what about

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

00:01:57.479 --> 00:02:03.759
Crossfire setup and are just curious about moving moving to higher-end

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:09.080
chipsets well we checked prices on New Egg for the entire x99 and Zed 170

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:14.720
platforms including motherboards CPUs and ddr4 RAM at the time we shot this

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

00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:25.879
75 more for an x99 motherboard than a

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:28.879
z170 so you're looking at around $1

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:32.519
100ish Delta total average cost for an

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:34.040
x99 platform using a 5820k comes out to

00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:41.519
about $745 assuming you'll pay around $15 for

00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:44.200
16 GB of ddr4 RAM which has come down in

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:48.720
price quite a bit since this release one thing to keep in mind is that although

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.760
you can use quad Channel RAM on the x99

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:55.360
platform dual channel will actually work just fine so you should be able to save

00:02:53.239 --> 00:02:59.879
a few bucks by buying just two sticks of memory if you can live without quad

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

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:08.799
ran a few numbers for both gaming and non-gaming benchmarks on our test bench

00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:14.280
we used a pair of ASUS motherboards the x99 deluxe and the z170 deluxe and kept

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:20.159
all other components constant across both platforms namely 16 GB of Corsair

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:24.200
Vengeance DDR RAM running at

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:28.799
2,133 MHz a reference NVIDIA GTX

00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:32.280
980ti and a 1 TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD a

00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:35.840
Corsair h100i GTX CPU Cooler and a

00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.439
Corsair ax1200i power supply we ran both

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:42.280
of our CPUs and graphics cards at stock speeds jumping right into it we started

00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:47.280
out with a couple synthetic benchmarks to test multicore performance although

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:53.280
the skyl 6700k performed respectively in both Cen and 7zip the 5820k with its six

00:03:50.760 --> 00:03:59.879
cores outclassed it by a pretty comfortable margin winning by about 15%

00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:01.680
in cinebench and about 23% in szip our

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:05.079
single-threaded benchmarks though told a different story we use the dolphin

00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:09.879
Benchmark which is actually part of a Nintendo Wii Emulator but never mind

00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:13.599
that we used it to retrace a 3D image here the Skylake processor shows its

00:04:11.480 --> 00:04:18.519
improved single core performance as it beats out the more expensive Haswell e

00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:22.759
chip by over 2 minutes we also ran web expert a benchmark that tests both HTML

00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:28.680
5 and JavaScript performance on the latest version of Google Chrome the

00:04:25.080 --> 00:04:31.600
6700k one again beating out the 5820k by

00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:35.759
about 19 % in this more single core intensive task gaming wise we looked at

00:04:33.960 --> 00:04:39.280
a couple titles that we knew about from past testing you can see our corer

00:04:37.320 --> 00:04:43.880
gaming video up here we knew that they would benefit from a higher-end CPU

00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:49.880
first up we used City skylines which we ran at 1080p with everything maxed out

00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:52.520
here the 6700k won by a full 9 FPS even

00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:57.680
with its fewer total cores moving all over to Total War atila however we also

00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:03.680
ran at 1080p with extreme settings but this time around the 582k by a full 5

00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:07.199
FPS we also wanted to check out a couple other popular titles just to see if

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.639
there was much of a difference in those Graphics intensive ones namely Tomb

00:05:09.400 --> 00:05:15.360
Raider and Crisis 3 at 1080p the settings were cranked and it was hard to

00:05:13.400 --> 00:05:20.919
distinguish these two chips apart although the 5820k W by two or 3 FPS in

00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:26.800
both cases it wasn't a difference I'd call significant as both processors got

00:05:23.080 --> 00:05:29.960
over 125 FPS in Tomb Raider and around

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.880
100 FPS in Crisis 3 so what's our

00:05:29.960 --> 00:05:35.919
conclusion for starters it's pretty clear that the extra cores you get with

00:05:33.479 --> 00:05:40.840
the x99 platform will help with things like encoding video and photo editing

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:46.199
and other heavy number crunching like tasks like say file compression or data

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.800
encryption but gaming results can vary

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:53.160
quite a bit depending on what's in your steam or origin library or whatever else

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:57.400
and the four core Skylake processors have a bit of a lead and more common

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:02.800
single-threaded tasks like web browsing and although you can overclock a 58 82k

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:07.759
to match the 4 GHz stock speed of the 6700k other tests have suggested that

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:12.520
Skylake is still Superior with respected instructions per clock or IPC meaning

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

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

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:25.800
greater availability of ddr4 memory it looks more affordable and practical than

00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:30.120
ever before to set up an Enthusiast grade platform if you'll be taking

00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:34.199
advantage of its extra cores and P C express lanes also don't forget that

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:40.599
we're seeing newer features natively supported by the Zed 170 such as USB 3.1

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:45.240
starting to pop up on newer x99 boards as well so you won't necessarily be

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:49.280
missing out on latest gen Tech and be left feeling like the CPUs are always

00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.240
shinier on the other side of the proverbial fence if you're building a

00:06:51.960 --> 00:06:59.000
