WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.040
all right well here we are again guys with yet another refresh of sky lake and

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:10.400
the script for this one which uh well there we go they've helpfully included

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:16.080
in the box here is uh pretty much the same as last time

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:20.400
with uh there we go

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:23.439
so let's see here we got more cores

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:26.560
and um we got some more cash to go with

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:26.560
them and uh

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.559
really is that it no new process node no

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:38.480
avx 512 support and uh wait

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:43.520
i can't even believe this we're still using the same gt2 graphics engine with

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:46.879
the same number of execution units at the same clocks

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:50.800
but is it possible that there's

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:54.079
more than meets the eye

00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:02.879
yes and i'll be telling you about it after these messages from origin origin pc's

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:05.519
evo 15s features a smooth 144hz 1080p

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:11.220
display with an NVIDIA gtx 1070 max-q graphics card it also weighs only 4.3

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:19.360
pounds check it out at the link below

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:27.840
let's start with some good news shall we Intel has finally caved to the pressure

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:34.079
or made the decision on their own using whatever moon logic that they use and

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:35.920
soldered the ihs to the die which should

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.000
mean that we won't need to keep delitting our cpus in order to get

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.280
decent thermals out of them though i'm not not promising that i won't do that

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.600
anyway what do you think pella should i do it should i risk a thousand dollar

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.840
processor and you only live once right this is it but

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.520
our delicious soldered cheeseburger also comes with a side of vomit milkshake

00:01:53.360 --> 00:02:01.280
because for the first time that i can remember we are actually

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:05.520
losing hyper threading and some of the

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.280
cash per core on the 9th gen core i7

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:12.800
in fact for now nothing but the new eight core core i9

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:15.200
9900k includes hyper threading technology

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.400
so Intel doesn't screw me over here because

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.959
my core i3 i5 i7 explainer is now

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:26.640
inaccurate just weeks before it would have hit 10 million views

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:30.160
so way to go guys thanks a lot

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:35.360
the hardware mitigations for spectre and meltdown do make me feel a little bit

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:40.239
better though these should take over from some of the software and firmware

00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:46.080
fixes which again this is a big should restore some extra performance per core

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:50.239
speaking of firmware we've actually got a new chipset on our hands

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:55.120
except that it's basically what we think the z370 chipset should have been in the

00:02:52.959 --> 00:03:01.440
first place with the only added features being usb 3.1 gen 2 support and

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.680
integrated wi-fi via what Intel calls integrated connectivity or

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:09.200
the snv for short

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:14.959
oh sorry just kind of an aside here do you guys remember when Intel had

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:15.760
simple memorable marketing like

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:22.879
and centrino who the hell is in charge over there

00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:25.360
right now i mean even the core i3 i5 i7

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:32.319
nonsense was less confusing than this hot mess and at least 10 million people

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:34.959
need i remind you didn't understand that

00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:40.640
on the plus side at least both the 9th gen chips and boards are backwards

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:44.480
compatible with 8th gen gear and vice versa bringing us then to the elephant

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:51.200
in the room more cores it seems Intel has finally had enough of

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:57.840
AMD lording ryzen's eight cores over them and here we have not one but two

00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.439
Intel core series cpus with eight cores

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.680
but with that said they haven't yet tired of AMD lording their more

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:09.360
aggressive pricing over them because for a 16 thread processor you will be paying

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.080
a nearly 40 premium to get a blue case

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:16.479
badge making the cheaper eight thread core i7

00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:21.280
possibly a much easier pill to swallow at least we think so because Intel in

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.600
their infinite wisdom isn't sampling that chip yet so we were forced to pull

00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:29.440
a little trick out of our hats that we've used before so in our graphs

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:34.240
you're going to see performance numbers for the 9900k the core i9

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:39.600
then you're going to see performance numbers for that same chip with its

00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:45.040
hyper threading disabled and its maximum 2 core boost adjusted to 4.9 gigahertz

00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:50.800
we're going to be labeling these results core i7 9700k

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:55.199
fingerprints because from our experience in the past these results should be very

00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.840
close to the real chip but they aren't the real chick so

00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:03.280
hence the fingerprints all right here we go

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:06.720
right away we can see that Intel's pr and marketing departments got at least

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:12.000
one thing right over the last couple of scandal-plagued weeks this CPU is

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:17.360
absolutely the best CPU in the world for gaming it's faster than the 8700k which

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:22.720
pretty much qualifies it right there but the difference here is relatively minor

00:05:19.919 --> 00:05:27.680
a few FPS here and there and what's weird is that it seems to be struggling

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:32.720
with directx 12 right now as expected the extra cores aren't doing

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:36.400
us any favors in current gaming titles and we're pretty much relying on the

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:41.759
extra 300 megahertz on the boost clock for our performance gains just like with

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:46.560
the 8700k when it first launched it should be noted however that the rtx

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:50.880
builds of games like battlefield 5 should take advantage of more cores so

00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:56.960
maybe we will see a bigger difference there whenever those builds show up

00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:02.639
moving on to productivity it's here that we see the biggest improvements over the

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:05.759
8th gen flagship and thanks to the extra

00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:09.840
clock speed the 9900k even manages to

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:12.880
eclipse the more expensive core i7 7820x

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:15.680
on Intel's high-end x299 platform

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:19.919
that even extends to avx-512 enabled workloads like blender where

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:25.120
traditionally Intel's high-end desktop chips dominate on a per core basis

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:29.520
what's even more exciting for streamers is that x264 performance is

00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:33.759
significantly improved here with the new core i9 landing striking distance from

00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:40.400
the 7900x whose msrp is nearly double so the 9900k

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:43.919
is looking pretty good so far and if you've been paying attention to the

00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:49.199
graphs you'll probably also have noticed that our simulated core i7 9700k

00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:54.080
is also holding up well typically outperforming the 8700k that

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:57.360
it replaces making the loss of hyper threading confusing

00:06:56.479 --> 00:07:03.440
but less of a big deal from a performance standpoint than you might have expected

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:09.280
and there's more to be happy about too thanks to the soldered ihs the core i9

00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:13.280
9900k actually enjoys better thermals

00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:15.440
than the 8700k from last generation even

00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:19.599
under full load and sustained power consumption is actually down as well

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:24.960
that's especially good news compared to the relatively power hungry 7820x

00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:29.840
but and it's a big but

00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:35.120
we haven't addressed the price tag yet at 30 to 40 percent more than the core

00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:41.440
i7 8700k and ryzen 7 2700x from AMD

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:46.720
Intel's eight core 16 thread consumer chip is in a price bracket all on its

00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:51.759
lonesome somewhere in the no-man's land between the consumer and the high-end

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:56.160
desktop markets which means that gamers are going to do a double take and anyone

00:07:53.919 --> 00:08:01.280
building a budget workstation is going to be forced to choose between per

00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:06.800
thread performance and memory bandwidth and pci express lanes because z390

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:12.240
doesn't add quad channel memory or more PCIe lanes unfortunately now that we

00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:15.039
have real performance numbers instead of the

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:19.280
bunged up ones that Intel either through blatant malice or stunning ineptitude

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:24.960
showed off before the launch where are we left here

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:26.800
thanks to its bloated 490 price tag with

00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:30.960
limited availability potentially pushing that higher the core i9 9900k ends up

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:36.560
looking less compelling to us than Intel's own

00:08:33.680 --> 00:08:41.039
core i7 9700k and this whole launch in general doesn't

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:45.519
look like it's going to woo over too many pure gamers from cheaper

00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:49.120
lower core count options even from Intel's own lineup

00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:55.040
then for the streamers out there who are looking to upgrade honestly we'd

00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:59.120
probably recommend an rtx GPU for its

00:08:55.040 --> 00:09:01.120
stellar hardware h.264 encoder instead

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:05.839
as for the non-gamers AMD is still fighting this battle from a

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:10.560
position of strength ryzen still gives you more course per dollar it includes

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:15.120
ecc support if that's important to you and it even brings more pci express

00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:17.920
lanes to the table but

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:23.600
if gaming is just one of the things you do and you want the best of both worlds

00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:29.680
at least Intel has some response now to the fantastic performance of the r7

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.600
2700x in non-gaming applications i mean

00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:35.920
there is something to be said for getting to the end of your shift and

00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:38.480
firing up csgo at over 500 frames per second

00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:41.200
we're going to need some faster monitors pretty soon hey

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:48.240
