1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,519
we have actually got two new CPUs from Intel today both of which I would

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:16,000
classify as enthusiasts delight at the Forefront is the cor i74790k code named

3
00:00:11,559 --> 00:00:18,000
T's Canyon their new 4 GHz base 4.4 GHz

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,400
boost quad core hyperthreaded unlocked and overclockable mainstream Flagship

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:27,439
and then quietly in the background is the Pentium g3258 with a modest 3.2 GHz

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,960
clock speed and two processing cores with no hyperthreading and no turbo

7
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:36,360
boost so with that all in mind the star of the show today might surprise you a

8
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:48,760
bit for the ultimate no compromises compact gaming PC look no further than

9
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:53,359
the obsidian series 250d from Corsair click now to learn more let's start with

10
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:57,680
an explanation of Intel's Devil's Canyon code name and what that actually means

11
00:00:55,399 --> 00:01:02,320
the Silicon is actually not physically different than previous Haswell CPUs so

12
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:06,799
put aside your expectations of tangible performance gains at the same clock

13
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,799
speeds um this is an evolutionary step not a revolutionary one so what does

14
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:16,560
that even mean well on the surface not too much the core i74790k features a 100

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,600
MHz clock speed improvement over the 4770k with the same features enabled at

16
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,720
the same price so it's sure better than a kick in the pants but if that's all

17
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,799
that we were getting the whole Devil's Canyon branding might have seemed a

18
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:33,200
little bit out of place the two main real improvements are actually more

19
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:37,079
behind the scenes and some of the most Enthusiast friendly things Intel's done

20
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,240
in quite some time it looks like they're really listening to us first up they

21
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:46,119
have fixed the thermal interface material between the core and the metal

22
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,640
heat spreader on the top of the CPU that was causing Haswell chips to run

23
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:54,640
extremely hot especially when overvolting and overclocking for more

24
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:59,240
performance number two is that due to small incremental improvements in the

25
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:04,840
manufacturing process yields on these dieses have allowed Intel to provide

26
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:11,280
much more consistently highly overclockable 4790 K compared to the

27
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,160
previous generation Haswell chips so

28
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,800
more consistency in the overclocking again a big thumbs up put together these

29
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,120
two things aren't going to be enough to make every current Haswell owner toss

30
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,760
their chip and rush to the store for an upgrade but they will mean a more

31
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,800
consistent overclocking experience and a cooler running CPU for anyone who does

32
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,040
take the plunge I'll be handing off to Luke to give you guys some of what we

33
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,760
could squeeze out of our sample and how it compares to running at stock speed

34
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:43,200
but first I'd like to introduce the real star of the show today I MHO the Pentium

35
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,720
g3258 might not have sounded exceptional when I introduced it but I left off one

36
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,640
very important thing it's unlocked that means that for the first

37
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,920
time in years Intel is giving Gamers and enthusiasts the gift of an overclockable

38
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:02,519
chip that's priced so low that you can get it and an overclocking ready Z87 or

39
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:04,400
z9 7 motherboard for less than the price

40
00:03:02,519 --> 00:03:11,519
of their previously entry-level unlocked CPU at the core i5 tier so just as a

41
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,280
recap it's got only two cores less cash

42
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:17,799
no hyperthreading and no support for turboing up to faster speeds under ideal

43
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:23,080
conditions on its own but who cares we got this bad boy to 4.7 GHz on our test

44
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,319
bench so stay tuned for some gaming Benchmark suckas oh and spoiler alert

45
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:32,840
it's going to be surprisingly close to the quad core all the bells and whistles

46
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:36,599
models in gaming over to you Luke I'm going to start with a quick disclaimer

47
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:41,000
for both of these processors lonus gave me exactly zero minutes to fine-tune the

48
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:44,720
voltage I was able to get the fastest clock speed I could get on these chips

49
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,159
but I was not able to lower the voltage to an acceptable level so the voltage is

50
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:54,200
going to be a little bit high and you could definitely get away with a little bit lower voltage on both of these chips

51
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:58,400
for both of these speeds but this is as fast as I was able to get either of them

52
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:02,400
the 4790k was pretty nice to overclock and deals with temperatures quite well

53
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:08,959
well even at 1.3 volts running at full load under ID to 64 it only got to about

54
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,680
70 75° the penum K though was super

55
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:14,760
freaking surprising I was told this was supposed to be a great processor but

56
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:20,000
getting it on the bench and messing it with with it yourself is kind of

57
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:23,600
fantastic Under full load id64 1.35

58
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,280
volts this thing only gets about 60 65°

59
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,199
that's crazy you can get that lower obviously by getting a better voltage

60
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,800
threshold but it you almost don't even need to the potential of this processor

61
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:37,160
is fantastic so let's check out that performance in terms of gaming

62
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,639
performance the 4790k did about as expected it's a little bit faster and

63
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,280
everything but not a ton faster don't worry about the star Sion result I think

64
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,240
that's probably more based on Star Sion not being very well optimized yet as

65
00:04:46,039 --> 00:04:52,400
it's pre-alpha um and less to do with the

66
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:56,160
processor the Pentium K though holy crap if you're getting this processor please

67
00:04:53,960 --> 00:05:00,120
overclock it you get so much benefit from overclocking this thing it's

68
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,759
awesome it's very noticeable in certain games and one thing to note is one of

69
00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:07,440
the biggest improvements that in that is increasing this average result which

70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,280
we're reporting is an increase in minimum frame rates which is going to be

71
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,960
the most noticeable so this is great to overclock this processor especially with

72
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:19,120
you're only overclocking two cores and they're the two most important cores so

73
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:21,639
please overclock this processor before we jump into cine bench performance I

74
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:28,400
want to give a shout out to the cinebench thread in the CPU section of the lineus tech tips Forum started by

75
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,039
jumper 118 that thread's kind of awesome and we will be showing performance

76
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,199
probably directly based to the results in that thread so you guys can compare

77
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,720
the results in that thread to these processors directly the Pentium K didn't

78
00:05:38,039 --> 00:05:43,680
do that great but that's kind of expected this thing isn't designed for

79
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:48,400
heavily threaded workloads and cinebench is so I wouldn't worry about that too

80
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:52,639
much the 4790k did very well on the other hand to reiterate on our voltage

81
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,960
we're currently running an h100 and you don't need to spend $100 on your CPU

82
00:05:54,759 --> 00:06:02,560
Cooler Tom's Hardware has a report of 4.6 GHz on on air with much less voltage

83
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:05,440
than we're currently running and I might have been able to get my voltage down

84
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:09,680
but who knows I just wouldn't worry about spending more than your processor

85
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:14,479
on a cooler you can get very good results with this CPU with not a ton of

86
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:18,039
heat if you want more guidance on how to overclock these CPUs and hopefully how

87
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,400
to tune that voltage in a little bit more Linus we'll have a full

88
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:27,520
overclocking guide coming in the near future from Linus and speaking of lonus

89
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:31,960
back to you hey I'm back so one more tip guys is that as appealing as those

90
00:06:29,599 --> 00:06:34,280
numbers looked and as appealing as the price for this chip will look if you

91
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:41,759
check the link to the product in the video description remember when you're shopping to factor in platform cost

92
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:47,280
overclocking friendly competing boards from the Green Team are cheaper than

93
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:50,199
zseries boards so watch out for that but

94
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:54,240
then again there are rumors about some H series boards being hacks sored to

95
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:58,319
overclock the g3258 which would bring pricing much closer so keep your ear to

96
00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:02,599
the ground in the coming months and make sure you're paying attention when it's

97
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:07,120
actually time to pull the trigger now speaking of your ears to the ground or

98
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:09,919
something our latest new sponsor is Ting and their whole Spiel is actually pretty

99
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:14,160
straightforward there are a wireless carrier in the US that says straight up

100
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,960
we're running on the Sprint network so you won't be using some janky small one

101
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,360
they bill per use rather than requiring you to play like guessing games about

102
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:25,919
how many texts you're going to send in a given month and then pick out a prepackaged plan and when you call their

103
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:31,120
customer service you talk to a real person not an automated menu finally

104
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:34,479
they claim that 90 8% of people will save money by switching to Ting but you

105
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,400
don't have to take their word for it check out the link in the video description to try out their savings

106
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,479
calculator the way it works is you enter the numbers from your last three bills

107
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:48,400
on your current carrier and it shows you how much you would have paid if you were on Ting neat hey on top of that if you

108
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:52,120
go to ling.com which is that link in the video description you can get 25 bucks

109
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:56,879
off a new device or $25 in service credit cool eh anyway guys like this

110
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,280
video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment tell me what

111
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:07,000
do you think who who who was the star of the show Devil's Canyon or the Pentium

112
00:08:04,599 --> 00:08:10,560
g3258 I think you guys all know which one Luke and I most excited about but

113
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,120
hey there you go everybody loves a bargain right don't forget to subscribe

114
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,759
if you haven't already and that's it peace out I got to go do W show in like

115
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:22,400
19 minutes you guys wonder why that show is late sometimes

116
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:34,649
he
