1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,500
it isn't that I get my kicks out of reigning on Intel's parade

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:12,000
and honestly speaking the 13th gen CPU announcement went pretty well overall

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:16,859
turns out you can still use last gen ddr4 memory if you want to save a buck

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:21,300
can I get a whoo and some of the gaming performance they

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:25,859
showed off was impressive to say the least I mean if the 13 600k gets

6
00:00:23,939 --> 00:00:31,439
anywhere close to the numbers that the 13900k can do Intel could absolutely

7
00:00:28,380 --> 00:00:34,020
clean up for Gamers on a budget but

8
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:38,040
during the presentation Intel created some serious trust problems that are

9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:42,660
making it difficult for us to take everything at face value first there's

10
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:47,579
this fine print right here you see that why on Earth are they using mid-tier

11
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:52,739
memory on both of the competing platforms and now that I think of it

12
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:59,100
they've got another big problem not only is the ryzen 5950x not running at its

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,980
full potential but it's not even AMD's

14
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:06,720
competitor to 13th gen I mean to be clear I don't exactly blame Intel for

15
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:11,460
the awkward timing but AMD lifted the Embargo yesterday on their lineup of

16
00:01:08,939 --> 00:01:16,500
much improved ryzen 7000 series processors and yeah those are

17
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:21,600
conspicuously absent from any of Intel's messaging but what isn't absent is our

18
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,400
sponsor team group team groups Delta RGB

19
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:27,299
ddr5 RAM kits are compatible with various RGB software and offered at

20
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:30,900
speeds up to 6600 Mega transfers per second buy your kit today using the

21
00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:34,439
links down below despite the issues we've pointed out already Intel really

22
00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:39,540
does know how to do a lot more than charge they phone Eat Hot Chip and lie

23
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:41,840
and today's announcement gave us a bunch of stuff

24
00:01:43,259 --> 00:01:50,579
and today's announcement gave us a bunch of stuff to talk about that isn't the

25
00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:52,680
13900k their extreme tuning utility or

26
00:01:50,579 --> 00:01:55,979
XTU tool has been improved they showed off Intel Unison which makes working

27
00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:01,619
across multiple devices more seamless and they casually announced that their

28
00:01:58,619 --> 00:02:04,439
Arc a770 GPU is on its way to the masses

29
00:02:01,619 --> 00:02:08,220
for just 330 US dollars but enough about that let's talk about the sweet sweet

30
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:13,440
gains that we're getting with this CPU generation the flagship 13900k is

31
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:19,260
getting eight more efficiency or e-course eight more total threads and an

32
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:23,340
extra 600 megahertz of turbo for a total

33
00:02:19,260 --> 00:02:25,739
of 24 cores and up to a whopping 5.8

34
00:02:23,340 --> 00:02:29,400
gigahertz not only that but CEO Pat gelsinger mentioned that six plus

35
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:35,580
gigahertz could be coming early next year maybe a 13 900 KS once AMD brings

36
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:40,560
the heat with 3D V cash who knows moving down the stack we've got the 13700k with

37
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:46,860
four more cores and threads and 400 megahertz more turbo then finally our

38
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:49,200
beloved Core i5 the 13600k is also

39
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:53,580
getting four more cores and threads with a 200 megahertz clock speed boost while

40
00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:57,780
turboing though of course like all k-series skus it's going to be

41
00:02:55,019 --> 00:03:02,340
overclockable so uh who knows where we end up oh and across the board we're

42
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:07,500
getting more cash per core cluster for both the e-cores I mentioned before and

43
00:03:04,739 --> 00:03:12,780
the new higher performance P course as well and of course like last gen the

44
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:17,400
best value parts may actually be the non-k ones that Intel isn't talking

45
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,420
about today they didn't share really many details about them but they did

46
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:26,459
confirm that the rest of the core i5 lineup will also no longer be PE course

47
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:32,459
only on paper 13th gen kinda sounds too good

48
00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:35,099
to be true up to 24 cores almost 6

49
00:03:32,459 --> 00:03:39,900
gigahertz like is there a downside like maybe a burning hole in your motherboard

50
00:03:37,379 --> 00:03:45,180
where the socket used to be apparently no thanks to their upgraded Intel 7

51
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:50,280
manufacturing process Intel claims that 13th gen is actually a step forward in

52
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,140
performance per watt so of course that won't be impressive until we know what

53
00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:58,920
that performance is let's talk about graphs right out of the gate Intel is

54
00:03:57,180 --> 00:04:07,620
claiming that in some games they are seeing a 24 improvement over the 12900k

55
00:04:03,299 --> 00:04:09,900
good gravy the 12900k is already blazing

56
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:14,040
fast unfortunately what they glossed over just a little is that you cannot

57
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,959
expect this to be across the board Horizon zero Dawn actually performed

58
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:23,880
slightly worse somehow and several other games performed either the same as last

59
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,820
gen or only slightly better now to be

60
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:30,720
fair most titles did demonstrate some kind of uplift and I guess they deserve

61
00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:34,320
credit for showing us the less impressive results I mean Horizon zero

62
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:38,340
Dawn isn't even a particularly cranked game they could have just excluded it

63
00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:43,979
but anywho the point is that that 24 Improvement is actually exclusive to

64
00:04:41,220 --> 00:04:47,460
League of Legends and similar improvements were found in other

65
00:04:45,419 --> 00:04:52,800
lightish and Esports titles but when it comes to AAA games where you really

66
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:55,139
actually do need another 20 FPS ah the

67
00:04:52,800 --> 00:05:00,660
data was underwhelming to say the least though it does kind of make me wonder if

68
00:04:57,419 --> 00:05:02,400
both AMD and Intel kind of jumped the

69
00:05:00,660 --> 00:05:07,680
gun on these launches and if they would have been better served by waiting for

70
00:05:04,259 --> 00:05:09,180
40 90 as well as Radeon 7000 to be

71
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,479
generally available so that they could really let these new CPUs stretch their

72
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,800
wings I mean half the problem here could be that GPU bottlenecks are hiding

73
00:05:14,820 --> 00:05:21,780
performance jumps we would otherwise see on the subject of hiding things Intel

74
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:27,600
was happy to compare against their last gen top of the line and AMD's price

75
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,940
competitive 5950x but as we outlined in

76
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:36,660
our ryzen 7000 review yesterday the real gaming champion of

77
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:39,300
last generation was the ryzen 5800 X 3D

78
00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:45,240
to Intel's credit they did test against it and they did include it in some of

79
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,360
their performance graphs but notably not

80
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,880
in the one percent lows graph and in the

81
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:55,320
weirdest possible way when they did like clearly it would have been too cluttered

82
00:05:52,440 --> 00:06:00,479
to just add a fourth bar here right a long uncomfortable fourth bar

83
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,080
of course that's not even the issue we started with here if you check the fine

84
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,820
print you'll notice that the test benches are mostly the same but memory

85
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:13,979
speeds are kind of all over the place now part of this is unavoidable you

86
00:06:10,979 --> 00:06:16,320
can't RAM ddr5 into an am4 board pun

87
00:06:13,979 --> 00:06:21,060
intended but even considering the challenges I do have some questions

88
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:24,000
about Intel's configurations the 13900k

89
00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:31,380
was tested with ddr5 at 5600 Mega transfers per second c28 that is fast

90
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:34,440
premium memory for the 12 900k they went

91
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:36,600
with 4 800 Mega transfer per second c28

92
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:41,639
it's not trashed here by any stretch but it is significantly slower when faster

93
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:47,160
kits have existed for a year and are widely in use on 12th gen platforms but

94
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:51,660
wait there's more the AMD processors were tested on a hyper expensive ASUS

95
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:56,220
Crosshair motherboard and yet Intel claims that 3200 Mega transfer per

96
00:06:54,120 --> 00:07:01,860
second was the fastest memory supported and so that's what they used except

97
00:06:59,699 --> 00:07:06,539
um it's pretty well known that AMD takes great advantage of fast ddr4 with the

98
00:07:04,919 --> 00:07:12,840
point of diminishing returns being more like the 3600 range they also mentioned

99
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:16,199
the lower power limit of 105 Watts TDP

100
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:18,120
so is AMD's precision boost overdrive

101
00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:21,599
enabled we reached out to Intel and we'll include a response and a pinned

102
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:25,259
comment once we get it but either way it's something that should have been

103
00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:29,220
disclosed to be clear this chicanery persists across the entire industry and

104
00:07:27,419 --> 00:07:34,800
it's a big part of why LTT and other tech review channels get to exist so

105
00:07:32,699 --> 00:07:39,599
um yay no all right I mean I I get it whenever

106
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:45,900
a company is going to show off their latest and greatest whether it's AMD NVIDIA or anyone else they are going to

107
00:07:44,460 --> 00:07:49,919
want to cherry pick ing at you Apple so to know how these

108
00:07:48,419 --> 00:07:55,440
products really stack up you're gonna have to wait a little longer for our full review but that doesn't make these

109
00:07:53,699 --> 00:08:00,120
announcements pointless because they often inform how we can best evaluate a

110
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:05,400
product and it looks like we might actually have to rethink how we go about

111
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:09,360
multitasking benchmarking thanks to a little bit of magic called Intel hybrid

112
00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:14,160
technology they're calling users who want to do it all at the same time Mega

113
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:18,780
taskers you know gaming streaming recording maybe even running a render in

114
00:08:16,259 --> 00:08:24,720
the background and they're saying that 13th gen can do it all at once without a

115
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:27,360
hitch it kinda sounds like nonsense but

116
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:31,500
this demo they ran is pretty cool they utilized p-course the performance course

117
00:08:29,699 --> 00:08:36,419
to render an animation in one program then minimize that program and brought

118
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:41,399
Unreal Engine 5 to the foreground and started building lighting at this point

119
00:08:38,459 --> 00:08:45,779
the P cores change gears and swap to handle ue5 while the e-cores pick up the

120
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:49,560
rendering slack and chug along in the back background that is pretty wild

121
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,760
stuff if you've ever hit the build button and then had to walk away because

122
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:58,260
your PC basically became unusable for 20 minutes well now you can hit build and

123
00:08:56,339 --> 00:09:01,680
then check out exclusive LTT content on Floatplane.com while you wait like this

124
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:05,700
extra hour of footage from the build with my sister back to the CPU though

125
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:10,380
what's really impressive is the efficiency gains the numbers Intel

126
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:17,399
showing are with the 13900k running at about 12 more watts than the 12900k so

127
00:09:13,740 --> 00:09:20,820
yes power consumption really did go up

128
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:22,380
but according to this graph that's only

129
00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:28,620
because they're pushing it to the red line and if you don't do that efficiency

130
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:30,899
is also way up so you under volters out

131
00:09:28,620 --> 00:09:37,500
there could have an absolute field day with this platform they claim validation

132
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:41,880
absolutely needed that at just 65 Watts

133
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:44,279
the 13 900k can match a 12 900k at 240

134
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:50,339
Watts that's a quarter of the power that could mean that our lower TDP chips like

135
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:53,100
core i5s and core i3s might absolutely

136
00:09:50,339 --> 00:09:56,700
rip and without turning your system into a space heater and it gets better

137
00:09:54,540 --> 00:10:02,160
remember how they wouldn't confirm early on whether ddr4 would be supported on

138
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,080
13th gen Raptor Lake well it looks like

139
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:08,820
it is going to be a thing at least until the end of this socket cycle so if you

140
00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:14,100
like me are disappointed by the lack of both lakes and Raptors at least we can

141
00:10:12,540 --> 00:10:18,180
both be excited about what this means for Budget oriented Gamers let's say you

142
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:25,019
haven't upgraded in years you're still running a 6700k or a 1700x maybe even

143
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:27,360
older how do you modernize well grab a

144
00:10:25,019 --> 00:10:31,080
new chip grab a board maybe a cooler adapter bracket throw in your old RAM

145
00:10:29,459 --> 00:10:34,860
even if it might cost you a little bit of performance and you're off to the

146
00:10:32,459 --> 00:10:39,660
races for under 500 bucks for a platform upgrade want to save another Buck well

147
00:10:36,899 --> 00:10:43,980
the z790 platform improvements aren't really all that huge for most people

148
00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:47,760
like we're talking a few more PCIe Gen 4 Lanes you know maybe for some more

149
00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:54,420
storage and some more USB 20 gigabit ports so you could grab a last gen z690

150
00:10:51,060 --> 00:10:57,300
or even a budget b660 board and call it

151
00:10:54,420 --> 00:11:01,560
a day that is on all brand new all readily available Hardware once 13th gen

152
00:10:59,579 --> 00:11:06,720
releases on October 20th and if you're just a baller who wants z790 and 3900k

153
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:13,440
with the latest and greatest ddr5 well the core I9 this generation is only 590

154
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:18,000
dollars that's still a lot of money but it's over a hundred dollars cheaper than

155
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:22,860
the 7950x giving you plenty left over to pick up a Wan hoodie from lttstore.com

156
00:11:20,420 --> 00:11:27,360
obviously and I can't State this enough we need to do our own testing for our

157
00:11:24,839 --> 00:11:31,200
full review which is on its way and we will be sure to give the competition a

158
00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:36,060
fair Shake by the way but so far the improvements to 13th gen do look

159
