00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,040
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,960
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,280
as well as hyperx now this might not really look like anything new this is a

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,119
Gigabyte brics s so I think the S is for storage or something like that cuz it

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:23,439
supports an MSA drive as well as a 2 and 1 half in hard drive or SSD but what's

6
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:26,960
special here is what's going on under the hood this is one of the first

7
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:33,559
systems available featuring an Intel Broadwell CPU so that is a 14 NM CPU

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:38,840
giving us effectively well the word on the street is around a 20% Improvement

9
00:00:35,559 --> 00:00:41,760
in performance on both the CPU and the

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:46,120
GPU so as much power and as impressive as it was that Gigabyte was able to

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:51,520
stick into a little tiny box like this before it gets even better now we

12
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:55,879
haven't seen updates yet to oh I can't grab that one because it's bolted to the

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:00,039
table doesn't mean I won't try but we haven't seen updates to the bricks

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:06,080
gaming yet but I wouldn't be surprised if we see that coming very very

15
00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:09,200
soon yeah I wasn't doing a very good impression of drinking from this thing I

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,159
I don't know who's touched I don't actually want to put it against my mouth but along the lines of bricks they've

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,080
got another demo here that might not be anything new in terms of Hardware this

18
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:22,159
is the same bricks gaming that we actually reviewed a while back ago a

19
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:24,320
while back ago with the GTX 760 and a

20
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:27,720
fourth generation core series processor in it but the point they're trying to

21
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:31,600
make here is that bricks isn't just necessarily about gaming and it's not

22
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,640
just just necessarily about the absolute smallest you know most compact but maybe

23
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:39,799
not most powerful PC it's about sometimes finding a balance between the

24
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:44,759
two so there showing it off in use as more of a more of a workstation where

25
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:49,119
some 3D modeling is being done and then translated to this 3D printer over here

26
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:53,479
from Orion that was used to print out this cup which U and I believe it

27
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,759
apparently took absolutely forever as well as some other cool knickknacks

28
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,600
right here but while bricks is cool and you know you throw a little bit of

29
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:07,320
memory throw a drive in there and you're like ready to rock with your full PC um

30
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:11,800
some people demand a little bit more and Gigabyte is addressing those people who

31
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:15,920
need a very powerful workstation with modern functionality that Mac users have

32
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:20,319
been enjoying for quite some time but that for the PC guys has been a little

33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,599
bit harder to obtain so right here they have their G1 gaming x99 motherboard

34
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,920
this is one of their highest end motherboards like ever and they've got

35
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:35,080
it running with you know a standard you know G1 gaming gtx980 graphics card but

36
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:40,519
wait what's this over here this is a Thunderbolt display that is actually

37
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,760
running not only the display signal over a Thunderbolt cable but then it is

38
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:49,200
actually Daisy chained to a handful of Thunderbolt enabled peripherals over

39
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:53,680
here well how did they do that because Thunderbolt inherently doesn't carry a

40
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:58,000
display signal you need DisplayPort built in well they've got a little

41
00:02:55,519 --> 00:03:00,599
dongle little PCI bracket thing that you're going to be able to use with

42
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,280
Gigabyte motherboards that should be available sometime in the first quarter of 2015 that will enable you to take

43
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:11,319
DisplayPort out of your graphics card into this adapter and then Thunderbolt

44
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:15,879
out from your PC into up to six connected devices including a monitor

45
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:20,879
all Daisy chained together so here they've got an LG

46
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,159
3495 running as well as an ultra Studio

47
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:28,480
4K from Blackmagic and a couple of the C external storage devices so uh speaking

48
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,680
of external storage devices you'll need to externally store all the Gratitude

49
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,280
you'll have for me telling you about Phantom glass wow worst segue ever so

50
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:42,480
our sponsor this year our main presenting sponsor is Phantom glass you

51
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,319
can find them over at store.

52
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,519
phantom.in protectors they're made out of Gorilla Glass just like the glass

53
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,640
that's already on the front of your phone that means they are perfectly

54
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,319
clear they are scratch resistant they have that same oleophobic coating so

55
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:59,120
they don't get all grimy and you can't even clean them off no matter what and

56
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,799
they're super easy to apply it's pretty much impossible ble to get a bubble

57
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,360
under them and they can even be taken off and reapplied if you're careful with

58
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,799
them if you need to R your phone or something like that so check out the link in the video description to learn

59
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:13,319
more about that and to get one for yourself today also in the video
