1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:09,559
watch I'm going to take this Thunderbolt cable connect these two computers drag

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:13,920
these giant files across

3
00:00:09,559 --> 00:00:15,679
and Mama 800 megabytes per second that

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:20,600
is like installing the new Modern Warfare in less than 5 minutes and I can

5
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:26,640
practically hear your chair scraping the floor as you jump up to go and try this

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:28,599
but hold on a second you can't just plug

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:34,120
two computers together and transfer files between them like that and you

8
00:00:30,759 --> 00:00:37,040
especially can't run a game on one PC

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:43,079
and then play it completely losslessly on another and yet here I am doing it

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:47,640
what you guys are looking at is in my opinion finally the answer to what

11
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:52,359
exactly is it that makes Thunderbolt special now that Intel gave the spec to

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:58,039
the USB if and if you're anything like me your head is absolutely swimming with

13
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:04,119
questions right now how are they doing lossless encoding what is is the latency

14
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:07,119
like do I really have to find out after

15
00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:09,240
the segue to our sponsor headphone juice

16
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:13,200
is now something you should be proud of these are your typical headphones that

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:17,040
accumulate heat while you game e Wicked cushions add a cooling gel to their

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,240
cushions to keep your ears sweat free you can easily replace them on your

19
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:24,119
headset check out Wicked cushions and the link below what you were just

20
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:28,000
looking at is called Thunderbolt share and it's in essence a piece of software

21
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:32,840
that establishes a point-to-point network connection between two

22
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:38,560
Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 5 Windows PCS it features exceptionally high

23
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:42,880
bandwidth and Hyper low latency which kind of makes sense since you may recall

24
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:48,360
that Thunderbolt is essentially a four lane wide PCIe connection with extras

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,360
like USB for peripherals DisplayPort for monitors and power for one cable

26
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:57,840
docking let's start by revisiting that file transfer demo that I just showed

27
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:02,240
you guys because it's a the most obvious use case for this and B the easiest to

28
00:02:00,759 --> 00:02:05,960
understand in terms of the data flow our files get pulled off of the SSD of the

29
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:09,800
first machine they get packed into packets they flow through the Thunderbolt chip through the thund

30
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:15,200
bullet cable and then they get unpacked on the other side and dumped onto the

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,040
SSD now I'm still a strong advocate for

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:22,800
networked rather than point-to-point data Management Solutions but in a pinch

33
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,879
guys you're at the hotel trying to back up some footage to a colleague who's

34
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:30,319
flying home in the morning or you're at a land and your buddy needs to grab a

35
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:35,959
game install this will allow data transfers at theoretical speeds of up to

36
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,400
20 gbit per second for Thunderbolt 4 and

37
00:02:35,959 --> 00:02:42,400
40 gbit for Thunderbolt 5 which would bring that Modern Warfare install that I

38
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:48,280
talked about before down to under a minute and other than high CPU usage

39
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:54,720
during the transfer and Thunderbolts 1 M passive cable length limit there is no

40
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:58,319
downside it's just ripping fast now

41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:02,280
let's push this button this is

42
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,879
incredible even with a 10 or 25 GB

43
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:11,280
network connection I have never in my life seen a PC to PC game stream with

44
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,799
this little latency I mean I obviously haven't measured it with a high-speed

45
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:20,599
camera yet I don't have one in my pocket but to the eye I would describe the

46
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:23,879
latency as none and that's because every

47
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:27,000
other solution steamlink Moonlight Etc

48
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:29,080
relies on the GPU to render each frame

49
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,799
and code it with a significant loss of fidelity and then transfer it to where

50
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:41,000
it needs to be where it is received unpacked and then finally output to the

51
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:44,480
display by contrast this is not encoded

52
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,239
at all and before you call BS because

53
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:52,640
believe me I was thinking the same thing have a look at this pudding because the

54
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,439
proof is in it while mirroring we find

55
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,680
none of the visual anomalies that I would normally associate with even a

56
00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:01,560
very high quality av1 stream and tap

57
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:06,400
task manager over here is picking up some very serious bandwidth that is

58
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:10,280
coming over that virtual link about 4 gbit there is of course some

59
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:13,920
optimization taking place here Intel created their own remote desktop

60
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,440
protocol that handles turning your displays output into Thunderbolt packets

61
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:24,160
and that allows them to reduce bandwidth by updating only changed elements on the

62
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,400
remote display but it does basically

63
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:32,639
what it says on the tin and we're a little Cy about the details but as far

64
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:37,440
as I can tell that high CPU usage about

65
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:38,960
25% on a core Ultra 7 155h is just the

66
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:44,440
cost of doing business when you're receiving a data stream this wide and

67
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:48,479
the GPU usage is the secret sauce that

68
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:51,400
makes this work so well Intel says they

69
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:56,520
are going straight from GPU frame buffer on this side to GPU frame buffer on the

70
00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:00,960
other side no storage bottleneck they aren't even dumping it into RAM the

71
00:04:58,919 --> 00:05:04,960
software is still still in Alpha with no committed release date for now so we are

72
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,840
just scratching the surface of what a link like this could unlock in the

73
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:12,840
future but I'm am already extremely impressed by what I've seen and

74
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,919
imagining countless applications for this I mean I showed you guys it goes

75
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:21,840
both ways right we can see the screen from the one we can use the controller from this one on the other one I mean

76
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:26,680
get this built into Windows and you wouldn't need a silly dual screen laptop

77
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:31,039
no offense no offense dual screen laptops are great um just to you know

78
00:05:28,919 --> 00:05:35,680
share content with a colleague you just plug their computer into yours and Boop

79
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Flawless oh here's another one this would turn every outdated all-in-one or

80
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:45,120
a laptop as long as it has Thunderbolt 4 and up into a monitor also by the way

81
00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:50,560
while you're ated Intel didn't talk to them about this ahead of time Please

82
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Release the remote desktop application I know I'm an edge case but like I would

83
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,360
totally wire up my house for 25 gig fiber if I could just have all my Compu

84
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:03,160
in a rack and then use thin clients for everything of course

85
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:07,800
wires are passé now anyway let's move a couple of Paces this way where Intel is

86
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:13,479
showing off their other next big thing for connectivity I already got my first

87
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:19,120
taste of Wi-Fi 7 when I unboxed an eurom mesh Wi-Fi kit over on ShortCircuit and

88
00:06:16,599 --> 00:06:25,639
being the cynic that I am I was blown away when for once it actually delivered

89
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:32,160
on the kind of generational performance upgrade that they claimed check this out

90
00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:36,639
these are real world transfer speeds at

91
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:40,479
two three even in excess of 4 gabit per

92
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:42,919
second I me that is faster than what 99%

93
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:50,280
of people are getting with a wire right now and this easily lives up to Wi-Fi

94
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:52,639
7's EHT or extremely high throughput

95
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:57,680
moniker now your first reaction is probably why should I care I mean no

96
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:03,879
one's internet is that fast and okay well first of all there are some people

97
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:06,160
princes need internet too but that is a

98
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:10,479
valid point I mean the services that you use online are likely to be a bottleneck

99
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:16,440
before your Wi-Fi is at these kinds of speeds except that Wi-Fi rarely performs

100
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:20,280
at Peak efficiency due to range limitations it's not always going to be

101
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:25,599
like this not to mention Network congestion so you're going to get some

102
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:29,520
fraction of that maximum speed and given that it's a lot higher than it used to

103
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:35,039
be it's going to be a lot higher than it used to be also this is perhaps more

104
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:39,599
important once everyone makes the switch non-streaming data transfers will be

105
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:44,159
completed so much faster that it will free up airtime for everyone else which

106
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,879
will help to Aid with congestion that's just a small part of the justification

107
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:51,520
for the speed though this will enable Wi-Fi to be used for completely new

108
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,720
applications I don't know about you but I am tired of seeing 4K video touted as

109
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,080
a use case for the NextGen Wi-Fi didn't you just tell me the old one was good

110
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:07,680
for that and I mean AK okay fair enough but seems to have pretty much completely

111
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:10,759
petered out but a PC grade Wireless VR

112
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,400
headset with nearly native video quality

113
00:08:10,759 --> 00:08:19,319
okay that is really exciting and there is so much more it's felt for a long

114
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:24,720
time like each generation of Wi-Fi was all about support for more devices

115
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:30,759
rather than making the one PC that I have in my basement go faster not this

116
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:35,279
time one of the big keys to this is a carryover from Wi-Fi 6 reduced

117
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:40,320
congestion thanks to support for the 6 GHz band part of this is that it just

118
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:46,560
hasn't gotten clogged up yet like the 5 GHz and especially 2.4 GHz bands but

119
00:08:43,959 --> 00:08:54,080
much more significant is the fact that 6 GHz doubled the maximum Channel width to

120
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:56,760
320 MHz and there's the fact that Wi-Fi

121
00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:04,120
7 can actually utilize connections on more than one band at the same time time

122
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:06,959
using multi-link operation or mlo mllo

123
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:11,800
is sick depending on the radio configuration it can enable either

124
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:17,079
higher overall throughput as data can be broken up and transmitted over different

125
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:22,279
bands simultaneously or this is great for the gamers out there lower latency

126
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:26,760
as low as 1 millisecond by utilizing the first available band instead of being

127
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:31,240
forced to wait its turn like it would on a single band let's go gamers another

128
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:36,279
Improvement for individual users comes in the form of 4K QAM that's quadrature

129
00:09:34,079 --> 00:09:41,040
amplitude modulation which is a method for translating digital packets into

130
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:46,640
analog signals by varying the amplitude and phase of the radio signal okay

131
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:49,720
that's a lot to digest but in a nutshell

132
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,800
instead of having a maximum of 1,24

133
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,560
values per symbol which is the smallest amount of data that can be transmitted

134
00:09:53,640 --> 00:10:02,480
we can have one of 4,096 values which results in about a 20

135
00:09:59,079 --> 00:10:05,079
% transmission increase over Wi-Fi 6 all

136
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:09,480
other things being equal and of course there are some multi-client things as

137
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:14,200
well Wi-Fi 6 added the ability for multiple clients to transmit data to an

138
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:18,519
access point simultaneously this is achieved through a technology called

139
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:23,800
ofdma which basically establishes multiple subcarriers within Wi-Fi

140
00:10:20,839 --> 00:10:29,120
channels these subcarriers are grouped resource units which can each be

141
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:31,800
assigned to a client device well Wi-Fi 7

142
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:37,079
bands on this by allowing a client to be assigned multiple resource units so

143
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:40,839
you're not leaving capacity that's just sitting there unused when there aren't

144
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:44,839
many clients connected okay this is a good thing for individuals as well man I

145
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:49,839
love this stuff um speaking of connected clients Preamble puncturing was an

146
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:54,440
optional feature of Wi-Fi 6 that is now enabled across the board and allows

147
00:10:51,800 --> 00:11:01,160
modern devices to utilize channels that are partly occupied by Legacy users

148
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,480
let's say for example an an old Wi-Fi IP

149
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:09,920
camera is using 40 MHz in the middle of an otherwise unused 160 MHz wide Channel

150
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:15,000
well Preamble puncturing allows a Wi-Fi 6 or 7 device to recognize that the

151
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:20,240
channel is partially occupied and to utilize all the unoccupied portions of

152
00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:25,160
that channel so in our example that would be 120 MHz of bandwidth where

153
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:30,720
under previous standards you'd be limited to the largest contiguous unused

154
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:36,120
portion of the channel just 80 that was done back then to avoid interference but

155
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:42,240
it left 40 MHz of bandwidth completely unused there's more uh conversations

156
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:46,360
between APS and client devices are often called spatial streams and without

157
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:51,480
boring you all completely to death modern APS can deal with more than one

158
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:56,519
spatial stream at a time just how many they can deal with is usually a spec on

159
00:11:53,240 --> 00:12:00,200
the box with the ridiculous acronym of

160
00:11:56,519 --> 00:12:02,639
mimo that is multi-user multiple input

161
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:09,440
multiple output and the values typically look like 2x two 4x4 or hey maybe 8 by8

162
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:14,920
if you're a real baller the Wi-Fi 7 spec now allows for up to 16 simultaneous

163
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:21,600
clients worth of input and output that is 16x16 mu mimo but the reality of it

164
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:27,880
is most devices aren't going to implement that I mean Wi-Fi 6 supported

165
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:31,040
8x8 but even a $600 Wi-Fi 6E router like

166
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,720
netgear's Nighthawk only implemented 4x4

167
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:39,399
and your laptop or smartphone is probably only 2x two by the way on that

168
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:42,160
topic don't let manufacturers fool you

169
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:48,519
more antenna sticking out of a device does not automatically equal better mimo

170
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:52,399
performance while it is true that 2x two

171
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:55,160
requires two antennas and 4x4 requires

172
00:12:52,399 --> 00:13:01,279
four just because it has eight sticking out of it like this Rog Rapture ax1000

173
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:06,800
doesn't mean it can do the maximum 8x8 of Wi-Fi 6C and the same will go for

174
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:09,199
Wi-Fi 7 in fact devices capable of Max

175
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:13,880
Wi-Fi 7 performance are going to be rare if they exist at all and they're going

176
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,720
to come with a serious price tag but

177
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:20,000
even conservative implementations of Wi-Fi 7 are going to bring us

178
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:24,000
significant improvements I mean maybe your budget friendly router only

179
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:28,199
implements two band mllo but that is still double the bands that you could

180
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:33,079
use before and now here's double the Segway double the segue to our sponsor

190
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,720
that ShortCircuit where I unboxed that Euro Wi-Fi 7 thing it's super expensive

191
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:17,560
and some of the features are locked behind a pay wall that I'm kind of not that into but it's fast it's really fast

192
00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:20,880
like even on a phone like more than two and a half gigabit what
