1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,319
in my hands right now are the best gaming cpus that money can buy

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:12,719
representing Intel we've got the brand new eight core core i9 11 900k and

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:14,559
representing AMD we've got the well it's

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:21,039
not brand new but based on how hard these things are to get it is a hot

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:25,039
commodity 16 core ryzen 9 5950x these

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:26,640
are on paper the most powerful tips from

7
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:30,960
either manufacturer and for our head-to-head battle today we are going

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:38,559
to build a system around each of these with zero compromises we are talking rtx

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:41,280
3090s super fast and low latency memory

10
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:49,120
ball and motherboards and all in an effort to answer the age-old question of

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:51,280
who really is the fastest for gaming

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,559
speaking of fast my transitions to our sponsors

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,359
theo specializes in high-fidelity portable audio gear including amps dax

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:03,039
and earphones their fh3 triple driver earphones provide high resolution audio

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,359
for your digital life check them out at the link below

16
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,520
as speedy as i might be and as much as i love building computers i'm not going to

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,080
build both of these so i brought in my lovely assistant the one and only jekyca

18
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,920
but the question remains who will be building AMD and who will be building

19
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,520
Intel and also how did you manage to get these screwed

20
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:36,640
up everyone knows and tells the dark side i see all right

21
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:41,280
winner takes AMD oh sure okay best two to three right of course okay

22
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,920
rock paper scissors rock paper scissors rock paper scissors rock paper scissors

23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,960
oh i got you on that one yeah that's only not done yet rock paper scissors

24
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:54,640
rock paper scissors damn it matt you suck at rock paper

25
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:58,479
scissors oh you got to swap the cases then too oh right okay

26
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:06,399
there you go traditionally the motherboard's role is just to provide i

27
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:11,200
o and features so things like how many slots you can plug into or what kind of

28
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:16,879
wi-fi or high-speed networking is built into your computer but in recent years

29
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,520
cpus have gotten to the point where they draw so

30
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:23,760
much power and in some cases so much

31
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:29,040
more power than they are supposed to that the motherboard can inadvertently

32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
play a role in how they perform because

33
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:38,080
if the power delivery is a not beefy enough or b not cooled well enough it

34
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:40,560
can actually cause your CPU to throttle

35
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:46,640
so we have gone basically top of the line on both sides with the maximus 13

36
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:50,400
hero for our Intel system and the meg

37
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:51,840
x570 godlike for our AMD system now the

38
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,879
Intel fans out there are probably wondering Linus

39
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:59,599
you're going up against AMD's best a 16

40
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:04,239
core ryzen processor i mean why are you handicapping yourself with an 11th gen

41
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:09,120
which maxes out at just eight cores when Intel's own previous 10th gen processor

42
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:14,560
had 10 cores and the answer is uh

43
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:20,239
i'm sorry that's what they made this is what we got hey at least it's

44
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,720
got pci express gen 4. finally

45
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:28,800
oh damn you were not kidding about the no compromises here this is 3600

46
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:33,840
megahertz memory from g-skill but not just that

47
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:36,239
it runs at a cast latency of 14.

48
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,560
that is extremely low latency we're gonna take this four

49
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:45,200
stick kit we're gonna grab two of them and put them in each system i'm hoping

50
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:49,040
that both of them are gonna manage to run this at full speed but i guess if

51
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:53,360
they can't that's kind of on them isn't it and like these are super baller

52
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,480
motherboards so it's not like that's a concern moving on to storage we have gone

53
00:03:56,239 --> 00:04:05,200
absolutely zero compromises with a rocket NVMe 4.0 2 terabyte drive from

54
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:08,159
sabrint now strictly speaking for gaming

55
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:11,920
hyper fast storage isn't necessary today but in the future it could be with

56
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:16,720
microsoft direct storage enabling similar functionality to what we see on

57
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:19,519
the playstation 5 and xbox series x and

58
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,479
series s with greatly accelerated game loading times compared to traditional

59
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,199
approaches so this is an area where Intel has

60
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:32,240
finally caught up because rocket lake compared to their 10th gen does have

61
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:36,479
support for pci express gen 4 storage but we've got to be careful to

62
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:40,720
use the correct slot that has those gen 4 lanes coming directly off the CPU to

63
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:44,880
ensure that we don't run into a system bottleneck when it comes to cooling i

64
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:51,040
already hear what a lot of you are going to say lioness come on rocket lake can

65
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,320
spit like 250 plus watts of heat into

66
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,560
your cooler why are you using an air cooler instead

67
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:01,040
of a water cooler well the answer is that this is not just any air cooler

68
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:06,560
okay this is the Noctua nhd15 and it will perform on par or even better than

69
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:10,479
almost any aio on the market and i only say almost because maybe there's one

70
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,800
that i've never heard of this is a flippin awesome cooler and it's going to

71
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,800
give both Intel and AMD their best chance to shine

72
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,880
now it's time to have a look at our case just like how our cooler can affect

73
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:27,680
performance so can our case and there's been thankfully a trend towards higher

74
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,440
airflow designs that give better cooling not just to the CPU but also to the

75
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:37,520
graphics card because we're going to be using rtx 3090s it's extremely important

76
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,600
for the validity of our test that we are not thermally constrained so that is why

77
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:47,360
this is absolutely freaking perfect

78
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:52,560
let's pop this off there we go look at that

79
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:54,800
straight mesh front to back to top for

80
00:05:52,560 --> 00:06:00,720
our power supply we've gone with an 80 plus titanium 1000 watt from c sonic

81
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,600
it's fully modular so you can plug in pretty much whatever the flip you want

82
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,840
into it and it's got adequate current delivery for

83
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:13,360
the rtx 3090 so we're not going to have our system just

84
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:17,440
shut off when we're trying to play some video games up in here remember

85
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:22,479
recommending people like oh 500 watt 600 watt power supplies

86
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,919
anything more than that is a waste well it used to be true

87
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,400
the people that bought the the big donger power supplies back in the day

88
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,960
are are are you know like reeling it in now yeah

89
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:37,039
they're laughing especially because you can't get one today

90
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,560
oh whoa wow it got kicked in well that's gonna dock you some FPS but they use

91
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,680
such nice foam look how nice this foam is figured out

92
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,199
how to get my power supply in just got to take off these two thumb screws slide

93
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:50,560
out the hard drive mount because like come on hard drives really i'm just

94
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:55,199
grabbing a hammer nobody pay attention to me

95
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:58,319
now you're laying the hammer down get it grab the wrong hammer yeah he's

96
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,639
laying the hammer down again yeah yeah yeah in terms of modular cables all i

97
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:06,479
need is my 24 pin for the motherboard a SATA for the built-in fan controller

98
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:11,280
up there actually i can just plug that in right now i need three six plus two

99
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:14,800
pci express connectors one

100
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:21,759
two three and then finally

101
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:24,319
two four plus four pins for the CPU

102
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:28,880
all right it's time for the big chungus update now

103
00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:31,440
i'm putting in the rtx 3090 black

104
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:37,199
edition it's not actually called black edition the other one's called white

105
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:40,479
edition but it's ASUS's rog strix rtx 39

106
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:42,800
24 gigs of memory the fastest GPU on the

107
00:07:40,479 --> 00:07:46,160
market and there are so many peels on this thing it is going to take me 10

108
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:50,560
minutes to install it in the flipping computer

109
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:56,080
no i'm not leaving it andy oh my god there's like nine peels on this thing

110
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:59,039
now i just got to put my not one not two

111
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:03,919
but three eight pin pci express power connectors in

112
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:07,440
meanwhile on the AMD build crap that's

113
00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:09,120
not even close yeah i mean realistically

114
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,479
you know there's not much of a problem with plugging into an 8x slot which all

115
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:16,639
three of these are but we're going for apples to apples

116
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:21,680
comparison here and this ain't gonna be it we could put it on a riser no no

117
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,960
no we're not doing that all right new motherboard it is see you later so we

118
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,879
did some digging and we actually found a crosshair eighth hero which is like

119
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:34,159
actually even better because it's on the same tier as that motherboard is from the same manufacturer so a little bit

120
00:08:31,599 --> 00:08:37,519
less variables there and uh it is equally as badass so this should be

121
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:42,959
perfect for our test that is one sexy wait we didn't even

122
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:46,399
didn't even peel the stickers off of here i don't know

123
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,200
how many peels did lioness end up finding there was

124
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:55,839
a million that's too bad now i can put it in

125
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,839
oh

126
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,120
so wow that is tight

127
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,279
it's so pretty though oh crap man these are these are uh

128
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:11,040
struggling these are some heavy numbers Jake come

129
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:15,360
on team bloop no i'm doing good man i don't rock it late to the moon hold on

130
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:18,240
hold on i just got to elevate my game get it wait you're you're changing the

131
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,800
parameters hold on let me lift mine too at the same time okay all right

132
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:26,800
elevate what are we doing right now

133
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:31,440
now in terms of the performance parameters that we're running on these

134
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,760
machines we have kind of overclocked

135
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:37,839
them but we've done so in both cases so on our Intel CPU we have multi-core

136
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,560
enhancement enabled which basically means that it's allowed to turbo as high

137
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:46,959
as it wants for as long as it frickin wants as for our AMD system pbo is on as

138
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:51,760
well so it's basically the same deal you're removing this stock AMD or Intel

139
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,600
limitations and letting the motherboard do as much as it can so what's your core

140
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:59,040
temps like it looks like for me 70ish

141
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:03,040
i didn't make it that high but what we know for sure is that neither of them

142
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:08,800
thermal throttled in any way i've got nos across the board for any kind of

143
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:10,880
throttling so hey nhg-15

144
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,560
love it what about power usage i capped out a round vault remember this

145
00:10:12,959 --> 00:10:18,399
is according to what they report but i capped out at around 90 watts

146
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:25,040
so that's like 90 to 100 for me so okay video mode

147
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:27,680
we're at 4k 143 hertz vsync is off all

148
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:32,800
these settings look yes perfect benchmark mode i like to do

149
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:37,839
camera mode cockpit okay and then turn the FPS counter on

150
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:40,240
probably just so we can see and then go

151
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:44,560
let's see if i load faster again maybe not that it's a oh

152
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:48,560
dang it i'm good thing i said it wasn't a measuring contest

153
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:53,040
can i just take a moment again though to appreciate the quality of the spectators

154
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:57,200
in this game and the god rays and stuff it looks very good it looks so good i

155
00:10:54,959 --> 00:11:01,440
haven't played f1 2020 i usually only play a set of corsa because you can put

156
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:05,760
basically any cars you want into the game um and a lot of other games the

157
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:09,760
modding support is not great but yeah this looks really good it looks

158
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:13,680
really good that's

159
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:17,680
pretty close again yeah but i lost yeah thanks for being

160
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:23,920
charitable about it pretty close but not quite

161
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:27,720
oh geez should we look at temps oh yeah

162
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:30,800
for sure i peaked at 62

163
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:33,839
60-ish or 70-ish for me

164
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,839
power usage was around 80 60 to 80 watts

165
00:11:33,839 --> 00:11:40,160
yeah 100 so that's higher but the moral of the

166
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,640
story is in gaming your Intel CPU probably still not that much of a

167
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:48,880
furnace it's just if you do anything else

168
00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:52,160
then yeah not only is it hotter but um it will also not perform nearly as well

169
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:56,959
because we've got literally half as many cores yeah but with that said remember guys

170
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:01,519
this is not an apples to apples comparison in terms of pricing either

171
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:06,079
because Intel for the first time in many years is in a position where they launch

172
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:10,480
new cpus and then immediately slash the pricing the week after the reviews come

173
00:12:07,839 --> 00:12:14,000
out whereas with AMD the 5950x unless you managed to pre-order one three

174
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:20,079
months ago you can't even buy one at the 750 us dollar msrp yeah oh shoot

175
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,959
uh yeah you're winning this

176
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,959
i'm going based off of our review numbers that this is going to get

177
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:32,720
all over that remember we've got resizable bar enabled

178
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:37,040
now though oh which is the new one NVIDIA and actually Anthony found that

179
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:43,279
in cs go a resizable bar can hurt performance so it's going to come down

180
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,800
to whether AMD or Intel's implementation

181
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:48,320
hurts less oh yeah you're touching like 900 over

182
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:52,399
there and i'm going seven eight seven eight at 4k

183
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,519
okay you ready csv is up

184
00:12:54,079 --> 00:13:03,519
how'd we do i think you won my 99th percentile is 110 314.

185
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:06,639
123. that's not as big of a difference as i

186
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:11,519
was thinking no but the thing is there's multiple ways to do the math on the price

187
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:16,000
difference and the performance difference if you look at the cpus you

188
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:20,240
go oh well AMD costs twice as much and is only ten percent faster bad deal yeah

189
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:25,040
but if you look at the difference in cost of the entire system is it worth

190
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:29,440
spending the extra well ladies and gentlemen right now this is like a 3 000

191
00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:34,800
graphics card so should you spend an extra 300 to 400 dollars to get a 10

192
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:38,240
performance uplift i would think so so there's different ways of kind of

193
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:43,360
looking at that it's important to keep that in mind especially once it's in stock hopefully whenever that happens

194
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:47,440
maybe you go with a 5900x which the performance in gaming is going to be

195
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:51,600
very similar or a 5800x and you're still beating Intel at that

196
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,519
yeah it's pretty rough so what that means is Intel and AMD are

197
00:13:53,839 --> 00:14:00,480
playing a fun little game of role reversal it used to be that AMD was a

198
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:05,120
perfectly reasonable option but Intel had the best performance in gaming if

199
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:09,199
you were willing to pay the premium now it's pretty much the opposite of that

200
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:13,839
it's not like you're getting a bad gaming experience going Intel but if you

201
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:19,760
want the best of the best AMD's got it on offer i mean and

202
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,160
if you have the wallet to stomach it

203
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:25,839
speaking of what's on offer this message from our sponsor this video

204
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,360
