00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.040
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:10.960
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:15.280
as well as hyperx now this might not really look like anything new this is a

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

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

00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:26.960
special here is what's going on under the hood this is one of the first

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:33.559
systems available featuring an Intel Broadwell CPU so that is a 14 NM CPU

00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:38.840
giving us effectively well the word on the street is around a 20% Improvement

00:00:35.559 --> 00:00:41.760
in performance on both the CPU and the

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:46.120
GPU so as much power and as impressive as it was that Gigabyte was able to

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:51.520
stick into a little tiny box like this before it gets even better now we

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

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

00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:06.080
gaming yet but I wouldn't be surprised if we see that coming very very

00:01:04.119 --> 00:01:09.200
soon yeah I wasn't doing a very good impression of drinking from this thing I

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

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:17.080
got another demo here that might not be anything new in terms of Hardware this

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:22.159
is the same bricks gaming that we actually reviewed a while back ago a

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:24.320
while back ago with the GTX 760 and a

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.720
fourth generation core series processor in it but the point they're trying to

00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:31.600
make here is that bricks isn't just necessarily about gaming and it's not

00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:35.640
just just necessarily about the absolute smallest you know most compact but maybe

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:39.799
not most powerful PC it's about sometimes finding a balance between the

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

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:49.119
some 3D modeling is being done and then translated to this 3D printer over here

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:53.479
from Orion that was used to print out this cup which U and I believe it

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:57.759
apparently took absolutely forever as well as some other cool knickknacks

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:01.600
right here but while bricks is cool and you know you throw a little bit of

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

00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:11.800
some people demand a little bit more and Gigabyte is addressing those people who

00:02:09.239 --> 00:02:15.920
need a very powerful workstation with modern functionality that Mac users have

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:20.319
been enjoying for quite some time but that for the PC guys has been a little

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:24.599
bit harder to obtain so right here they have their G1 gaming x99 motherboard

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.920
this is one of their highest end motherboards like ever and they've got

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:35.080
it running with you know a standard you know G1 gaming gtx980 graphics card but

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:40.519
wait what's this over here this is a Thunderbolt display that is actually

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.760
running not only the display signal over a Thunderbolt cable but then it is

00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:49.200
actually Daisy chained to a handful of Thunderbolt enabled peripherals over

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:53.680
here well how did they do that because Thunderbolt inherently doesn't carry a

00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:58.000
display signal you need DisplayPort built in well they've got a little

00:02:55.519 --> 00:03:00.599
dongle little PCI bracket thing that you're going to be able to use with

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

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:11.319
DisplayPort out of your graphics card into this adapter and then Thunderbolt

00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:15.879
out from your PC into up to six connected devices including a monitor

00:03:13.959 --> 00:03:20.879
all Daisy chained together so here they've got an LG

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:23.159
3495 running as well as an ultra Studio

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:28.480
4K from Blackmagic and a couple of the C external storage devices so uh speaking

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.680
of external storage devices you'll need to externally store all the Gratitude

00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:37.280
you'll have for me telling you about Phantom glass wow worst segue ever so

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:42.480
our sponsor this year our main presenting sponsor is Phantom glass you

00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.319
can find them over at store.

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:47.519
phantom.in protectors they're made out of Gorilla Glass just like the glass

00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:51.640
that's already on the front of your phone that means they are perfectly

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:55.319
clear they are scratch resistant they have that same oleophobic coating so

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

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.799
they're super easy to apply it's pretty much impossible ble to get a bubble

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:05.360
under them and they can even be taken off and reapplied if you're careful with

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

00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:13.319
more about that and to get one for yourself today also in the video

00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.879
description is a link to hyperx's YouTube channel they're one of our other

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.320
sponsors here at the show it's youtube.com/ hyperx they got a lot of

00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:22.160
