WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.559 oh we are back at it again with another 00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:09.760 crazy core count system so Intel 00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:17.039 sent over this care package with some bananas 00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:19.039 stuff in it so we've got an entire tray 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 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:29.920 things of their new xeon w chips for workstations we've got 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.039 oh this one's really good they're top of 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:39.360 the line 28 core processor that's the xeon 8180 and 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:46.559 another one they sent two these are unrelated they're cool too 00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:48.960 though so that's 56 cores on a single 00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:55.120 motherboard there are only two words to adequately describe this kind of speed 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.120 holy sh 00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:01.680 today's video is brought to you by origin pc origin pc offers beautiful 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:05.760 custom desktops high performance laptops and lifetime 24 7 technical support they 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.080 only use high quality products like samsung's 960 pro m.2 ssds and you can 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:19.759 visit origin pc at the link below to learn more 00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:29.439 now Intel has come under fire over the last number of years for 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:30.240 their CPU innovation is dead let's call 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:35.360 it a passive approach to bringing more cores 00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:41.439 to the mainstream consumer but this is not so in the enterprise 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:47.360 space where super computing and the cloud have driven demand for cpus with 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.840 ever higher core counts and with 00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:54.479 customers who are ready to pay for the engineering involved in creating them so 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 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:08.879 this is the xeon platinum 8180 28 cores in here that is over 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:12.319 double the core count in less than five 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.920 years each one of these chips can 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:22.160 support up to 768 gigabytes of memory the uh m variant 00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:25.280 can actually do 1.5 terabytes each and 00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:27.040 is equipped with 48 pci express lanes a 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:34.160 whopping six channels of ddr4 2666 memory each so 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 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.480 for high speed communication in multi-chip configurations with up to 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:50.640 four of them being able to communicate directly to each of the others but all 00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:53.440 of that comes at a cost Intel has been 00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:59.040 forced to use a significantly larger socket like physically larger with many 00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:05.280 more pins and what that means is that there will be zero interoperability 00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:08.319 between these high-end server chips and 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:11.280 prosumer or workstation be they single 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:16.159 socket or dual socket motherboards like we've enjoyed for the last few 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:21.760 generations hold on a second is this going to be a problem always one to defy 00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:23.680 expectations a seuss has created 00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:27.040 something truly special 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:34.519 for all the folks out there that disagree with Intel's assessment so 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:36.319 let's then have a look at the ws c 00:03:34.519 --> 00:03:42.640 621e sage it has quite literally 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:47.519 everything i mean ASUS engineers don't seem to have stressed out too much about 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:53.920 the question of is it necessary it's got support for four 00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:57.680 u.2 drives who puts four u.2 drives in a 00:03:53.920 --> 00:04:00.080 system so we got two 3647 sockets we've 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:06.400 got 12 memory slots like look at how much of this board is dedicated to just 00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:08.879 memory and CPU sockets 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 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.760 Linux distro off of microsd seven pci 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 00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:24.400 can't go wrong with that i guess now 00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:28.800 all that's really left is to put it together and maybe run some 00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:34.240 benchmarks i am super duper not a fan of this 00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:39.840 socket the retention mechanism is i should not to put a heatsink on top of 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 00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:49.120 the suction of the thermal compound lift the CPU out at the same time now the 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:53.680 conventional wisdom when it comes to thermal compound is generally less is 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:57.360 more but if we're being realistic you know these coolers weren't going to help 00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:01.440 me break any overclocking records anyway these were the only things i could find 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:07.600 with compatibility with the square ilm design versus the narrow one that were 00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:09.840 also readily available hello swiftech 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:13.680 did up a couple of custom blocks for this socket almost no one else is even 00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:19.039 talking about support for this socket yet oh it's heavy 00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:19.840 56 processing cores 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 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 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:36.240 right now from kingston top of the line as far as server memory speed goes so 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:37.120 these are 26 66 megahertz 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:48.720 and a whopping six channels per CPU it is an effective 6x4 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:51.600 of the total memory bandwidth per CPU oh 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:57.840 it's even more beautiful assembled 56 cores 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:59.840 384 gigabytes of memory and that amount 00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:04.319 was actually chosen for a pretty specific reason so you guys are probably 00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:09.759 familiar with the seven gamers one CPU project where we had seven discrete 00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:14.800 gaming rigs running off of a single motherboard when we did that 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 00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:22.319 so many that if we were to do 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:27.360 six workstations like 8k 00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:30.400 video editing workstations each one of them 00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:35.600 could have oh that worked out too 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:37.199 nine cores per video editing system like 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:42.639 that is enough for a bonafide workstation so i would 00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:46.080 consider an eight core 64 gig workstation we're going to try 00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:50.960 and find some single slot cards so everyone gets a dedicated GPU i would 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:55.280 consider that a very capable workstation and i want the whole thing powered off 00:06:52.960 --> 00:07:00.960 of a single motherboard okay we're in dare me to enable the 00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:03.039 turbo ratio lock to keep the processor 00:07:00.960 --> 00:07:07.199 operating at the turbo highest frequency for the maximum performance what does 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:10.800 that even mean you guys means make it go more faster 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 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:20.080 card running eight ssds and raid 0 for my boot drive people always ask me oh 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:25.039 how fast are your boot times it was not about boot time ssds were never about 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:29.199 boot time it was always about speed once you're booted 00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:33.919 so i don't want to deal with the amount of screeching 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:38.319 that i would have to deal with if i don't immediately fire up cinebench 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:42.800 speaking of which okay okay people have asked me for examples of this the 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:47.680 terribleness of the Windows search see okay that'll make sense i 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.680 sure okay 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:55.120 uh not really sure how we're getting there 00:07:52.160 --> 00:08:00.240 oh cine okay now i can get cinebench but watch this watch this 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:03.840 b it's gone here we go 00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:07.680 whoa look at that turbo speed 00:08:05.919 --> 00:08:11.520 just shy of 7 00:08:09.919 --> 00:08:16.960 000 in cinebench that is 56 cores 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:22.319 112 threads let's see it again my friends 00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:27.120 what it's like it's warmed up or something 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:30.639 i came up with something that will let us hit it hard 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:36.320 for an extended period when you mine burstcoin 00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:42.080 you have to do something called plotting so i'm gonna run six 00:08:38.839 --> 00:08:45.360 instances of the plotting software to 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:49.600 see how much we can make it scream 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:52.880 100 utilization at 2.9 gigahertz so 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.480 somewhere between 150 000 and 200 000 00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:58.880 nonsense per minute which if you're into burst coin 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:03.760 you will know is pretty freaking impressive for anything that is not a 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.360 GPU obviously though this isn't the only thing we're gonna run on these things 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 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 00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:20.839 it handle what can't it handle we're here to satisfy your curiosity and 00:09:18.959 --> 00:09:26.959 satisfy you in other ways like by telling you about ting the 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:31.519 mobile carrier that makes sense with ping you get to talk to an actual person 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:35.920 if you ever have to call their customer support for any reason go figure and you 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:41.680 don't even have to pay extra for the privilege with ping the average bill is 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:43.760 just 23 dollars a month per device and 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 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:52.959 wait pay for only what you use try out the ting savings calculator at 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:56.480 Linus.ting.com we're gonna have that linked below and find out how much you 00:09:55.040 --> 00:10:00.800 would save so thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video you can hit that 00:09:58.959 --> 00:10:04.320 button but if you liked it hit like get subscribed maybe consider checking out 00:10:02.160 -->
