1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,559
oh we are back at it again with another

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:09,760
crazy core count system so Intel

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:17,039
sent over this care package with some bananas

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:19,039
stuff in it so we've got an entire tray

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:24,080
i mean technically it is an entire tray even if it's only 60 full of actual

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:29,920
things of their new xeon w chips for workstations we've got

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,039
oh this one's really good they're top of

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:39,360
the line 28 core processor that's the xeon 8180 and

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:46,559
another one they sent two these are unrelated they're cool too

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:48,960
though so that's 56 cores on a single

11
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:55,120
motherboard there are only two words to adequately describe this kind of speed

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,120
holy sh

visit origin pc at the link below to learn more

17
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:29,439
now Intel has come under fire over the last number of years for

18
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,240
their CPU innovation is dead let's call

19
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:35,360
it a passive approach to bringing more cores

20
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:41,439
to the mainstream consumer but this is not so in the enterprise

21
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:47,360
space where super computing and the cloud have driven demand for cpus with

22
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,840
ever higher core counts and with

23
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:54,479
customers who are ready to pay for the engineering involved in creating them so

24
00:01:51,840 --> 00:02:01,479
in the last five years we've gone from the 2697 v2 that's a 12 core to this

25
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:08,879
this is the xeon platinum 8180 28 cores in here that is over

26
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:12,319
double the core count in less than five

27
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,920
years each one of these chips can

28
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:22,160
support up to 768 gigabytes of memory the uh m variant

29
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:25,280
can actually do 1.5 terabytes each and

30
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,040
is equipped with 48 pci express lanes a

31
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:34,160
whopping six channels of ddr4 2666 memory each so

32
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:40,400
this is 12 sticks here we're going to be using all of these and three qpi links

33
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,480
for high speed communication in multi-chip configurations with up to

34
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:50,640
four of them being able to communicate directly to each of the others but all

35
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,440
of that comes at a cost Intel has been

36
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:59,040
forced to use a significantly larger socket like physically larger with many

37
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:05,280
more pins and what that means is that there will be zero interoperability

38
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:08,319
between these high-end server chips and

39
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:11,280
prosumer or workstation be they single

40
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:16,159
socket or dual socket motherboards like we've enjoyed for the last few

41
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:21,760
generations hold on a second is this going to be a problem always one to defy

42
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,680
expectations a seuss has created

43
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,040
something truly special

44
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:34,519
for all the folks out there that disagree with Intel's assessment so

45
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:36,319
let's then have a look at the ws c

46
00:03:34,519 --> 00:03:42,640
621e sage it has quite literally

47
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:47,519
everything i mean ASUS engineers don't seem to have stressed out too much about

48
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:53,920
the question of is it necessary it's got support for four

49
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:57,680
u.2 drives who puts four u.2 drives in a

50
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:00,080
system so we got two 3647 sockets we've

51
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:06,400
got 12 memory slots like look at how much of this board is dedicated to just

52
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,879
memory and CPU sockets

53
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:13,760
it's got a micro sd slot because i don't know maybe you want to run some like

54
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:15,760
Linux distro off of microsd seven pci

55
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:21,919
express 16x slots with three of them wired up at 8x it's got a vga header

56
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:24,400
can't go wrong with that i guess now

57
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:28,800
all that's really left is to put it together and maybe run some

58
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:34,240
benchmarks i am super duper not a fan of this

59
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:39,840
socket the retention mechanism is i should not to put a heatsink on top of

60
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:45,840
it and screw it down which is terrifying because in 100 of cases so far i've had

61
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,120
the suction of the thermal compound lift the CPU out at the same time now the

62
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:53,680
conventional wisdom when it comes to thermal compound is generally less is

63
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,360
more but if we're being realistic you know these coolers weren't going to help

64
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,440
me break any overclocking records anyway these were the only things i could find

65
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:07,600
with compatibility with the square ilm design versus the narrow one that were

66
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:09,840
also readily available hello swiftech

67
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,680
did up a couple of custom blocks for this socket almost no one else is even

68
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:19,039
talking about support for this socket yet oh it's heavy

69
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:19,840
56 processing cores

70
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:25,919
now we got to keep it fed with data i mean that's one of the big design concerns

71
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:30,639
every time is how are you going to keep that thing fed so what i'm installing

72
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:36,240
right now from kingston top of the line as far as server memory speed goes so

73
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:37,120
these are 26 66 megahertz

74
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:48,720
and a whopping six channels per CPU it is an effective 6x4

75
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:51,600
of the total memory bandwidth per CPU oh

76
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:57,840
it's even more beautiful assembled 56 cores

77
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,840
384 gigabytes of memory and that amount

78
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:04,319
was actually chosen for a pretty specific reason so you guys are probably

79
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:09,759
familiar with the seven gamers one CPU project where we had seven discrete

80
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:14,800
gaming rigs running off of a single motherboard when we did that

81
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:19,600
we were using 18 core cpus and i kind of went okay 36 course well now we've got

82
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:22,319
so many that if we were to do

83
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:27,360
six workstations like 8k

84
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:30,400
video editing workstations each one of them

85
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:35,600
could have oh that worked out too

86
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,199
nine cores per video editing system like

87
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:42,639
that is enough for a bonafide workstation so i would

88
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:46,080
consider an eight core 64 gig workstation we're going to try

89
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:50,960
and find some single slot cards so everyone gets a dedicated GPU i would

90
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:55,280
consider that a very capable workstation and i want the whole thing powered off

91
00:06:52,960 --> 00:07:00,960
of a single motherboard okay we're in dare me to enable the

92
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:03,039
turbo ratio lock to keep the processor

93
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:07,199
operating at the turbo highest frequency for the maximum performance what does

94
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:10,800
that even mean you guys means make it go more faster

95
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:15,520
let's try it it's funny people would always ask me back when i used a raid

96
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:20,080
card running eight ssds and raid 0 for my boot drive people always ask me oh

97
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:25,039
how fast are your boot times it was not about boot time ssds were never about

98
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:29,199
boot time it was always about speed once you're booted

99
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:33,919
so i don't want to deal with the amount of screeching

100
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,319
that i would have to deal with if i don't immediately fire up cinebench

101
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,800
speaking of which okay okay people have asked me for examples of this the

102
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:47,680
terribleness of the Windows search see okay that'll make sense i

103
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,680
sure okay

104
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:55,120
uh not really sure how we're getting there

105
00:07:52,160 --> 00:08:00,240
oh cine okay now i can get cinebench but watch this watch this

106
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:03,840
b it's gone here we go

107
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:07,680
whoa look at that turbo speed

108
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:11,520
just shy of 7

109
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:16,960
000 in cinebench that is 56 cores

110
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,319
112 threads let's see it again my friends

111
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:27,120
what it's like it's warmed up or something

112
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,639
i came up with something that will let us hit it hard

113
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:36,320
for an extended period when you mine burstcoin

114
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:42,080
you have to do something called plotting so i'm gonna run six

115
00:08:38,839 --> 00:08:45,360
instances of the plotting software to

116
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:49,600
see how much we can make it scream

117
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:52,880
100 utilization at 2.9 gigahertz so

118
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,480
somewhere between 150 000 and 200 000

119
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:58,880
nonsense per minute which if you're into burst coin

120
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:03,760
you will know is pretty freaking impressive for anything that is not a

121
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:07,360
GPU obviously though this isn't the only thing we're gonna run on these things

122
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,000
let us know in the comments below what kind of loads do you want to see run

123
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:15,040
because we're going to have a full video following this one up soon so what can

124
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:20,839
it handle what can't it handle we're here to satisfy your curiosity and

125
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:26,959
satisfy you in other ways like by telling you about ting the

126
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:31,519
mobile carrier that makes sense with ping you get to talk to an actual person

127
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,920
if you ever have to call their customer support for any reason go figure and you

128
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:41,680
don't even have to pay extra for the privilege with ping the average bill is

129
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:43,760
just 23 dollars a month per device and

130
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:49,760
they've got new lower data rates just 10 dollars a gig past the first gig so why

131
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,959
wait pay for only what you use try out the ting savings calculator at

132
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,480
Linus.ting.com we're gonna have that linked below and find out how much you

133
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:00,800
would save so thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video you can hit that

134
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:04,320
button but if you liked it hit like get subscribed maybe consider checking out

135
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:07,519
where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description like

136
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,560
unless you're running a data center or like building a new super computer it

137
00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:15,120
seems kind of unlikely but hey you never know while you're down there you can check out our merch storage has cool

138
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:19,279
t-shirts like this one and our community forum which you should totally join
