00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:04.340
- Hello. My name is Jake. You got some two and a half inch hard drive SSDs,

00:00:04.340 --> 00:00:09.330
heat sinks, IRI, fix it, screwdriver. You ever had been stabbed with a Torx bit?

00:00:09.330 --> 00:00:12.810
Put that in the video. In this box is the fastest

00:00:12.810 --> 00:00:16.000
dual processor computer on the planet.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.304
Were you expecting more? Because that's all it is.

00:00:19.304 --> 00:00:23.910
It's fast. And it's sent over by our friends Wendell at Level 1 Techs.

00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:27.240
- How's it going? - You should go check him out because this is technically

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:30.773
property of AMD, but he sent it anyways. Thanks man.

00:00:31.670 --> 00:00:35.760
Also, this video is sponsored by Pulseway More on that later. I don't know what's in here

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:38.950
Oh, I see what this is. So this server would have came

00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:43.278
in like a specific configuration from AMD, but Wendell did some slight modifications

00:00:43.278 --> 00:00:46.950
because he's had it for a few years. So he actually sent us a little SFP module

00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:50.340
because I think there's a 10 gig SFP card in there,

00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:54.760
so a network card. So we'll keep that just in case we need that. Pass for accessories.

00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:57.800
It's not exactly anything interesting.

00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:01.320
We've got some two and a half inch hard drive screws and some three and a half inch hard drive screws

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.770
Really three and a half? Where would you even? Let's see, I don't think you could even fit

00:01:04.770 --> 00:01:09.250
three and a half inch hard drive on this thing. You got some nice closed cell phone packaging,

00:01:09.250 --> 00:01:14.200
even though you totally can't buy the server. And there she is.

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.933
See very nice and shut. Oh, oh Wendell. Oh, you didn't feel it.

00:01:23.491 --> 00:01:27.445
Oh, I feel the static. Look at my ARM hairs.

00:01:27.445 --> 00:01:33.030
Yeah, baby. Let's go. It feels good to be fast.

00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:39.350
So looking at this thing on the outside, this is shockingly similar to our current WANic 3 server.

00:01:39.350 --> 00:01:43.000
Or if you're a psychopath, you might call it a new new WANic.

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.270
Or if you're a liquid, you might call it the Badger Den

00:01:46.270 --> 00:01:49.420
but it's effectively kind of the same package.

00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:53.890
You have two epic CPU's; in our case, these are also 64 core

00:01:53.890 --> 00:01:58.140
and our current one is also 64 core. So that's a total of 128 in both of them

00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:02.900
Pop these off. You can see a metric boat load of RAM slots.

00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:07.704
This system only has about half of them populated right now. I think this is 512 gigs of RAM

00:02:07.704 --> 00:02:10.120
and would have been like similar to how this

00:02:11.238 --> 00:02:15.120
this system would have shipped from the manufacturer. And it's not a system that you would buy

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.660
like this isn't something, you know data center buddy would put on order.

00:02:18.660 --> 00:02:23.280
This is actually a reference system. So similar to how you get like a reference graphics card

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.860
from NVIDIA, where it's sort of the same design. If you get it from PNY, you get it from EVGA,

00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:34.820
a reference card is going to be pretty much the same. And that's because the design was actually set up by NVIDIA.

00:02:34.820 --> 00:02:39.760
And in this case, this was actually a project between AMD and Quanto, which is a major server ODM.

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:44.420
They would sort of design this system in partnership and they would send them out to your Dell, your HP,

00:02:44.420 --> 00:02:50.134
your Gigabyte so they can base their servers off of this. And you can kind of tell because the Dell system we have

00:02:50.134 --> 00:02:54.960
in our server room looks very similar to this. Like even down to the fans, popping out,

00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.223
they're in the same place. They got a plastic shroud over the CPU's.

00:02:58.223 --> 00:03:01.410
I mean, I guess she can't really do it too many ways.

00:03:01.410 --> 00:03:06.090
There's only so many ways you can design a box but it does look pretty similar.

00:03:06.090 --> 00:03:09.110
Although the CPU's in this system are very new.

00:03:09.110 --> 00:03:12.570
The actual chassis is not a recent release.

00:03:12.570 --> 00:03:16.600
This Daytona chassis, as AMD calls it, was actually released with Epic Rome,

00:03:16.600 --> 00:03:19.830
or the last generation, but a it's seen a BIOS update

00:03:19.830 --> 00:03:26.290
and I guess was built with the power spec in mind that it can handle these 280 watt each CPU's.

00:03:26.290 --> 00:03:28.670
And I guess while we're in here, we might as well

00:03:29.579 --> 00:03:35.062
start taking it apart. Very like Dell-esk with the blue markers

00:03:35.062 --> 00:03:38.130
to sort of indicate things you can actually touch

00:03:38.130 --> 00:03:41.331
with your hands, like here you're supposed to hold there to pull out

00:03:41.331 --> 00:03:46.150
or here you're supposed to push this or whatever. They usually use blue to mark it, but this is pretty crazy.

00:03:46.150 --> 00:03:50.833
You see the CPU coolers? They, I guess, didn't have quite enough gumption

00:03:50.833 --> 00:03:57.100
in this spot that they put a heat pipe out to have a little like satellite heat sink.

00:03:57.100 --> 00:04:00.890
Look at that. That's what's so weird. - [David] I've never seen that.

00:04:00.890 --> 00:04:05.130
- Yeah, they look like little like antennas. I suppose I might've been teasing you guys

00:04:05.130 --> 00:04:08.380
a little bit too much. If you haven't guessed already what's underneath here

00:04:08.380 --> 00:04:14.805
is two of AMD's latest Milan CPU's and it sounds kind of like a fancy place

00:04:14.805 --> 00:04:18.510
but it's actually a processor, it's a family of processors.

00:04:18.510 --> 00:04:21.720
And in this case we have two, like I said 64 core before,

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.720
we have 2 64 core, what are they? 7763's I think.

00:04:26.730 --> 00:04:31.990
The absolute top of the line Milan CPU so. With those CPU's that should make this the

00:04:31.990 --> 00:04:35.910
fastest system basically on the planet, assuming you only have two CPU

00:04:35.910 --> 00:04:40.540
since they're the fastest in themselves and you put two it's gotta be the fastest with two, right?

00:04:40.540 --> 00:04:44.760
And here they are. Woah, what the heck? Have you ever seen blue thermal paste?

00:04:44.760 --> 00:04:48.300
- Nope. - What the hell? I've never seen thermal paste like that before.

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:55.110
Okay, so we got the CPU's all cleaned up and oh look at those 7763.

00:04:55.110 --> 00:04:59.234
That thing costs like $8,000 and there's two of them.

00:04:59.234 --> 00:05:03.100
Oh.

00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:08.100
There's something about just holding 10 grand in your hands that never really gets old.

00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:13.871
So this is a 64 core, 128 thread. Like I mentioned before, it's got a 2.45 gigahertz base,

00:05:13.871 --> 00:05:18.552
a 3.5 gigahertz boost, on 64 cores.

00:05:18.552 --> 00:05:24.478
And unlike the previous generation Rome CPU's, this guy, at least there's, there's a couple

00:05:24.478 --> 00:05:29.060
that they released like halfway through that could do it, but this one can do 280 Watts

00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:32.804
which is just a mind numbing amount of power for one CPU,

00:05:32.804 --> 00:05:38.172
especially when you consider there's another one. And now one of the concerns I originally had

00:05:38.172 --> 00:05:42.060
with this chassis is because it's from the previous generation, it wouldn't be able to do that much power,

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:46.510
but, you know, according to Wendell, it will do it no problem.

00:05:46.510 --> 00:05:50.447
Before we start up, we should probably go over a few other interesting things here.

00:05:50.447 --> 00:05:55.185
You want to take a look at the RAM that Wendell included for us 32 gigs of micron 3,200.

00:05:55.185 --> 00:05:59.270
Yeah, that sounds about right. That's of the, the standard for epic.

00:05:59.270 --> 00:06:03.480
You need that crazy fast RAM to keep those CPU's fed. What have we got on the back here?

00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.269
Let's check out the power supply situation. Your typical redundant power supplies set up.

00:06:08.269 --> 00:06:11.380
And a thousand Watt platinum.

00:06:11.380 --> 00:06:14.810
That's pretty good. I don't think this is as much as are WANic 3

00:06:14.810 --> 00:06:18.150
but I don't think this server is set up for doing GPU stuff

00:06:18.150 --> 00:06:22.220
so a thousand Watts is plenty for the 500 Watts of CPU

00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:25.385
and probably like a hundred Watts of fans.

00:06:25.385 --> 00:06:28.440
These are 12 volt, three amp.

00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:31.532
So you're looking 36 Watts. - [David] Whoa.

00:06:32.718 --> 00:06:38.008
- [Jono] Are those blowie-matrons? - Yeah. These probably blow at like 15,000 RPM.

00:06:38.008 --> 00:06:41.640
So what there's three of them. Yeah. That's that's a Wattage just for fans.

00:06:41.640 --> 00:06:45.460
I guess on the back the server doesn't really have anything pre-configured

00:06:45.460 --> 00:06:50.510
but Wendell did throw in a 25 gig card down there. You can see that SFP 28 connections for that.

00:06:50.510 --> 00:06:52.610
Oh, there's one more thing I wanted to do.

00:06:58.207 --> 00:07:04.250
Oh yeah. Alright, let's start this thing up. after our message from our sponsor, Pulseway.

00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:08.449
- With Pulseway's remote monitoring and management software, you'll be the first to know when a user has an issue

00:07:29.830 --> 00:07:33.700
from their mobile app or from your desktop fully featured regardless of the platform.

00:07:33.700 --> 00:07:36.730
- So try for free today at pulseway.com or check out the link in the description.

00:07:36.730 --> 00:07:40.230
And, just to make it a little bit easier for you, we're even going to install it on this machine

00:07:40.230 --> 00:07:43.838
and show you how it works briefly. It's pretty sweet. - [Jono] There you go.

00:07:43.838 --> 00:07:47.043
- [David] There we go. - Ah, it was magic. It was all me.

00:07:47.043 --> 00:07:51.690
I did it. Boom. Yeah. This is the quiet mode. (laughter)

00:07:51.690 --> 00:07:57.899
Oh look, whoa. That is the, the most half-assed boot icon ever.

00:07:58.220 --> 00:08:01.540
They must've been like "Hey we can put up, we can put up a boot image on the BIOS"

00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:05.579
and then AMD was like, "Oh, let me just look at download Google images, Epic logo."

00:08:05.579 --> 00:08:09.940
They didn't even bother to make it black.

00:08:09.940 --> 00:08:13.740
Oh, what? You see this? Did you see this?

00:08:13.740 --> 00:08:17.020
- [David] Yeah, I saw it. - It said lgdstore.com? Dammit Wendell.

00:08:17.020 --> 00:08:22.610
- [David] What's up with this? - Ah, there's no drivers probably.

00:08:22.610 --> 00:08:26.870
Alright, we don't have internet. Dammit.

00:08:26.870 --> 00:08:30.290
Oh, actually he sent us a thing just for that. - [David] Oh, Wendell.

00:08:30.290 --> 00:08:34.530
- Wendell. I did it again with the SOT modules. Oh.

00:08:34.530 --> 00:08:37.930
I honestly actually don't even know if this will work, but we're going to try it.

00:08:37.930 --> 00:08:43.300
Oh, it's blinking. It's doing things. Oh man, we're doing CPU and coding.

00:08:43.300 --> 00:08:46.520
I don't know if this thing can handle it. Actually. I kind of want to see what this looks like.

00:08:46.520 --> 00:08:50.793
Ten percent, that's quite a bit. You hear the fan kicking up?

00:08:50.793 --> 00:08:52.376
- [David] Wow. Huh.

00:08:53.870 --> 00:08:57.883
- You know, you have a lot cores when you have to scroll through them.

00:08:59.070 --> 00:09:02.630
Either way, that's a lot of cores.

00:09:02.630 --> 00:09:06.867
And a lot of RAM, like 512 gigs. Having this many cores, it starts to beg the question of

00:09:06.867 --> 00:09:12.200
"what do you use this for?" I mean, for us, we have a similar set up

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.390
It's CPU, sitting at like 5%, most of the time.

00:09:15.390 --> 00:09:18.980
We just like it for the PCIe bandwidth. But if you're gonna use this in the real world,

00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:22.520
this is a system you'd probably do some like machine learning computation on,

00:09:22.520 --> 00:09:26.200
or you might have it in a slightly different chassis with multiple GPU's.

00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.953
So you can actually make use of those PCA lanes or super, super fast storage.

00:09:29.953 --> 00:09:34.020
Well, it wouldn't be a sponsored video with Pulseway if we didn't install Pulseway

00:09:34.020 --> 00:09:37.690
and I'll show you just how easy it is. We'll go to Pulseway.com.

00:09:37.690 --> 00:09:41.174
Probably should have looked Oh, Resources, Downloads Look, I didn't even know where I was looking

00:09:41.174 --> 00:09:46.010
and I still found it that easily. Pulseway for Windows. Download.

00:09:46.010 --> 00:09:49.380
Come on super fast server. I know you can do it. Next.

00:09:49.380 --> 00:09:53.880
I agree. Sign my life away. Bada bing, bada boom.

00:09:53.880 --> 00:09:58.580
Pulseway's installed. Oh, I still gotta log in, but it's installed.

00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:03.705
Alright, so we got it installed. You can see WANic 3 here, eighty-five days, that's not bad update time.

00:10:03.705 --> 00:10:07.183
(laughter) I think the last time it went down was the Windows updates. But yeah, here, look at that.

00:10:07.183 --> 00:10:11.790
We've got our 0% CPU usage. We got so much RAM.

00:10:11.790 --> 00:10:16.200
It's like five hundred eleven gigabytes out of five hundred and twenty.

00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.290
Oof. You can see lots of stuff in here. You've got your hardware

00:10:19.290 --> 00:10:23.900
so we can see our temps and our fan speeds. Wow. Even, oh, you see the CPA's are hot.

00:10:23.900 --> 00:10:28.460
Seventy two degrees. The like very quiet studio mode

00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:34.616
just makes these things cook. Oh wow. It even shows you like your SEDA remaining lifespan

00:10:34.616 --> 00:10:39.770
from your smart statistics. That's very cool. You can see printers, storage.

00:10:39.770 --> 00:10:43.503
Here, let's do this Windows update. We'll just force it to Windows update. Four updates found.

00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:47.660
Cool. Restart. Oh, actually, no, I don't want to do that.

00:10:47.660 --> 00:10:51.160
There's nobody else recording. Dang it. Ah, here lock, monitor.

00:10:51.160 --> 00:10:54.704
I'm locking the desktop. Look at that. It locked.

00:10:54.704 --> 00:10:58.990
- [David] What? - Look. The point is Pulseway gives you a ton

00:10:58.990 --> 00:11:02.480
of control, analytics, everything you could possibly want

00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:07.710
as an IT system administrator. And you can do it all from the comfort of your home,

00:11:07.710 --> 00:11:10.820
sitting on your bum on your phone. You know, if you're working from home

00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:15.608
because there's a pandemic, but, if not, you can also do it on the website.

00:11:15.608 --> 00:11:19.744
It's great. Check it out at the link in the description or pulseway.com.

00:11:19.744 --> 00:11:23.440
So unfortunately, while this is very performance oriented,

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:27.400
it's supposed to break records, I can't show you any of that yet.

00:11:27.400 --> 00:11:32.270
Stay tuned for the full LDT video where we're actually gonna, you know, do the Cinebench,

00:11:32.270 --> 00:11:37.870
apparently above a hundred thousand RAM. Like just crazy stuff like that in the LDT video,

00:11:37.870 --> 00:11:42.490
but for now, thanks for checking out this video. If you like really cool bleeding edge technology,

00:11:42.490 --> 00:11:45.890
