WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.319
in my hands right now are the best gaming cpus that money can buy

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:12.719
representing Intel we've got the brand new eight core core i9 11 900k and

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:14.559
representing AMD we've got the well it's

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

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:25.039
commodity 16 core ryzen 9 5950x these

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:26.640
are on paper the most powerful tips from

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:30.960
either manufacturer and for our head-to-head battle today we are going

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:38.559
to build a system around each of these with zero compromises we are talking rtx

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:41.280
3090s super fast and low latency memory

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:49.120
ball and motherboards and all in an effort to answer the age-old question of

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:51.280
who really is the fastest for gaming

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:54.559
speaking of fast my transitions to our sponsors

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:59.359
theo specializes in high-fidelity portable audio gear including amps dax

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:03.039
and earphones their fh3 triple driver earphones provide high resolution audio

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:06.359
for your digital life check them out at the link below

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

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:24.080
build both of these so i brought in my lovely assistant the one and only jekyca

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:27.920
but the question remains who will be building AMD and who will be building

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:31.520
Intel and also how did you manage to get these screwed

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:36.640
up everyone knows and tells the dark side i see all right

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:41.280
winner takes AMD oh sure okay best two to three right of course okay

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:45.920
rock paper scissors rock paper scissors rock paper scissors rock paper scissors

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

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:54.640
rock paper scissors damn it matt you suck at rock paper

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:58.479
scissors oh you got to swap the cases then too oh right okay

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:06.399
there you go traditionally the motherboard's role is just to provide i

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

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:16.879
wi-fi or high-speed networking is built into your computer but in recent years

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:21.520
cpus have gotten to the point where they draw so

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:23.760
much power and in some cases so much

00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:29.040
more power than they are supposed to that the motherboard can inadvertently

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.000
play a role in how they perform because

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:38.080
if the power delivery is a not beefy enough or b not cooled well enough it

00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:40.560
can actually cause your CPU to throttle

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:46.640
so we have gone basically top of the line on both sides with the maximus 13

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:50.400
hero for our Intel system and the meg

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:51.840
x570 godlike for our AMD system now the

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:56.879
Intel fans out there are probably wondering Linus

00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:59.599
you're going up against AMD's best a 16

00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:04.239
core ryzen processor i mean why are you handicapping yourself with an 11th gen

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:09.120
which maxes out at just eight cores when Intel's own previous 10th gen processor

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:14.560
had 10 cores and the answer is uh

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

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.720
got pci express gen 4. finally

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:28.800
oh damn you were not kidding about the no compromises here this is 3600

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:33.840
megahertz memory from g-skill but not just that

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:36.239
it runs at a cast latency of 14.

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:40.560
that is extremely low latency we're gonna take this four

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

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

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

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

00:03:56.239 --> 00:04:05.200
absolutely zero compromises with a rocket NVMe 4.0 2 terabyte drive from

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:08.159
sabrint now strictly speaking for gaming

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:11.920
hyper fast storage isn't necessary today but in the future it could be with

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:16.720
microsoft direct storage enabling similar functionality to what we see on

00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:19.519
the playstation 5 and xbox series x and

00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:22.479
series s with greatly accelerated game loading times compared to traditional

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:27.199
approaches so this is an area where Intel has

00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:32.240
finally caught up because rocket lake compared to their 10th gen does have

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:36.479
support for pci express gen 4 storage but we've got to be careful to

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:40.720
use the correct slot that has those gen 4 lanes coming directly off the CPU to

00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:44.880
ensure that we don't run into a system bottleneck when it comes to cooling i

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

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:52.320
spit like 250 plus watts of heat into

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.560
your cooler why are you using an air cooler instead

00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:01.040
of a water cooler well the answer is that this is not just any air cooler

00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:06.560
okay this is the Noctua nhd15 and it will perform on par or even better than

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:10.479
almost any aio on the market and i only say almost because maybe there's one

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

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:18.800
give both Intel and AMD their best chance to shine

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

00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:27.680
performance so can our case and there's been thankfully a trend towards higher

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:31.440
airflow designs that give better cooling not just to the CPU but also to the

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:37.520
graphics card because we're going to be using rtx 3090s it's extremely important

00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:41.600
for the validity of our test that we are not thermally constrained so that is why

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:47.360
this is absolutely freaking perfect

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:52.560
let's pop this off there we go look at that

00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:54.800
straight mesh front to back to top for

00:05:52.560 --> 00:06:00.720
our power supply we've gone with an 80 plus titanium 1000 watt from c sonic

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.600
it's fully modular so you can plug in pretty much whatever the flip you want

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:09.840
into it and it's got adequate current delivery for

00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:13.360
the rtx 3090 so we're not going to have our system just

00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:17.440
shut off when we're trying to play some video games up in here remember

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:22.479
recommending people like oh 500 watt 600 watt power supplies

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.919
anything more than that is a waste well it used to be true

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.400
the people that bought the the big donger power supplies back in the day

00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:32.960
are are are you know like reeling it in now yeah

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:37.039
they're laughing especially because you can't get one today

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

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.680
such nice foam look how nice this foam is figured out

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

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:50.560
out the hard drive mount because like come on hard drives really i'm just

00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:55.199
grabbing a hammer nobody pay attention to me

00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:58.319
now you're laying the hammer down get it grab the wrong hammer yeah he's

00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:02.639
laying the hammer down again yeah yeah yeah in terms of modular cables all i

00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:06.479
need is my 24 pin for the motherboard a SATA for the built-in fan controller

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

00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:14.800
pci express connectors one

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:21.759
two three and then finally

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:24.319
two four plus four pins for the CPU

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:28.880
all right it's time for the big chungus update now

00:07:25.599 --> 00:07:31.440
i'm putting in the rtx 3090 black

00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:37.199
edition it's not actually called black edition the other one's called white

00:07:32.880 --> 00:07:40.479
edition but it's ASUS's rog strix rtx 39

00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:42.800
24 gigs of memory the fastest GPU on the

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

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:50.560
minutes to install it in the flipping computer

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

00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:59.039
now i just got to put my not one not two

00:07:56.080 --> 00:08:03.919
but three eight pin pci express power connectors in

00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:07.440
meanwhile on the AMD build crap that's

00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:09.120
not even close yeah i mean realistically

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

00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.639
three of these are but we're going for apples to apples

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

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

00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:28.879
did some digging and we actually found a crosshair eighth hero which is like

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

00:08:31.599 --> 00:08:37.519
less variables there and uh it is equally as badass so this should be

00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:42.959
perfect for our test that is one sexy wait we didn't even

00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.399
didn't even peel the stickers off of here i don't know

00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:49.200
how many peels did lioness end up finding there was

00:08:48.160 --> 00:08:55.839
a million that's too bad now i can put it in

00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:55.839
oh

00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.120
so wow that is tight

00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:05.279
it's so pretty though oh crap man these are these are uh

00:09:03.839 --> 00:09:11.040
struggling these are some heavy numbers Jake come

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

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

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.800
parameters hold on let me lift mine too at the same time okay all right

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:26.800
elevate what are we doing right now

00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:31.440
now in terms of the performance parameters that we're running on these

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.760
machines we have kind of overclocked

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

00:09:36.160 --> 00:09:42.560
enhancement enabled which basically means that it's allowed to turbo as high

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

00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:51.760
well so it's basically the same deal you're removing this stock AMD or Intel

00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:55.600
limitations and letting the motherboard do as much as it can so what's your core

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:59.040
temps like it looks like for me 70ish

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

00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:08.800
thermal throttled in any way i've got nos across the board for any kind of

00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:10.880
throttling so hey nhg-15

00:10:08.800 --> 00:10:14.560
love it what about power usage i capped out a round vault remember this

00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:18.399
is according to what they report but i capped out at around 90 watts

00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:25.040
so that's like 90 to 100 for me so okay video mode

00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:27.680
we're at 4k 143 hertz vsync is off all

00:10:25.040 --> 00:10:32.800
these settings look yes perfect benchmark mode i like to do

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:37.839
camera mode cockpit okay and then turn the FPS counter on

00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:40.240
probably just so we can see and then go

00:10:37.839 --> 00:10:44.560
let's see if i load faster again maybe not that it's a oh

00:10:42.959 --> 00:10:48.560
dang it i'm good thing i said it wasn't a measuring contest

00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:53.040
can i just take a moment again though to appreciate the quality of the spectators

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

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

00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:05.760
basically any cars you want into the game um and a lot of other games the

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.760
modding support is not great but yeah this looks really good it looks

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:13.680
really good that's

00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:17.680
pretty close again yeah but i lost yeah thanks for being

00:11:15.839 --> 00:11:23.920
charitable about it pretty close but not quite

00:11:20.640 --> 00:11:27.720
oh geez should we look at temps oh yeah

00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:30.800
for sure i peaked at 62

00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:33.839
60-ish or 70-ish for me

00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:35.839
power usage was around 80 60 to 80 watts

00:11:33.839 --> 00:11:40.160
yeah 100 so that's higher but the moral of the

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:42.640
story is in gaming your Intel CPU probably still not that much of a

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:48.880
furnace it's just if you do anything else

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

00:11:50.640 --> 00:11:56.959
because we've got literally half as many cores yeah but with that said remember guys

00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:01.519
this is not an apples to apples comparison in terms of pricing either

00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:06.079
because Intel for the first time in many years is in a position where they launch

00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:10.480
new cpus and then immediately slash the pricing the week after the reviews come

00:12:07.839 --> 00:12:14.000
out whereas with AMD the 5950x unless you managed to pre-order one three

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

00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.959
uh yeah you're winning this

00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:28.959
i'm going based off of our review numbers that this is going to get

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:32.720
all over that remember we've got resizable bar enabled

00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:37.040
now though oh which is the new one NVIDIA and actually Anthony found that

00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:43.279
in cs go a resizable bar can hurt performance so it's going to come down

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:44.800
to whether AMD or Intel's implementation

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.320
hurts less oh yeah you're touching like 900 over

00:12:46.880 --> 00:12:52.399
there and i'm going seven eight seven eight at 4k

00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:55.519
okay you ready csv is up

00:12:54.079 --> 00:13:03.519
how'd we do i think you won my 99th percentile is 110 314.

00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:06.639
123. that's not as big of a difference as i

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

00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:16.000
difference and the performance difference if you look at the cpus you

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

00:13:18.880 --> 00:13:25.040
but if you look at the difference in cost of the entire system is it worth

00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:29.440
spending the extra well ladies and gentlemen right now this is like a 3 000

00:13:28.079 --> 00:13:34.800
graphics card so should you spend an extra 300 to 400 dollars to get a 10

00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:38.240
performance uplift i would think so so there's different ways of kind of

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

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:47.440
maybe you go with a 5900x which the performance in gaming is going to be

00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:51.600
very similar or a 5800x and you're still beating Intel at that

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:55.519
yeah it's pretty rough so what that means is Intel and AMD are

00:13:53.839 --> 00:14:00.480
playing a fun little game of role reversal it used to be that AMD was a

00:13:57.920 --> 00:14:05.120
perfectly reasonable option but Intel had the best performance in gaming if

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:09.199
you were willing to pay the premium now it's pretty much the opposite of that

00:14:07.680 --> 00:14:13.839
it's not like you're getting a bad gaming experience going Intel but if you

00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:19.760
want the best of the best AMD's got it on offer i mean and

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:22.160
if you have the wallet to stomach it

00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:25.839
