00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:08.519
we have actually got two new CPUs from Intel today both of which I would

00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:16.000
classify as enthusiasts delight at the Forefront is the cor i74790k code named

00:00:11.559 --> 00:00:18.000
T's Canyon their new 4 GHz base 4.4 GHz

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:22.400
boost quad core hyperthreaded unlocked and overclockable mainstream Flagship

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:27.439
and then quietly in the background is the Pentium g3258 with a modest 3.2 GHz

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:31.960
clock speed and two processing cores with no hyperthreading and no turbo

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

00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:48.760
bit for the ultimate no compromises compact gaming PC look no further than

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:53.359
the obsidian series 250d from Corsair click now to learn more let's start with

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:57.680
an explanation of Intel's Devil's Canyon code name and what that actually means

00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:02.320
the Silicon is actually not physically different than previous Haswell CPUs so

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:06.799
put aside your expectations of tangible performance gains at the same clock

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.799
speeds um this is an evolutionary step not a revolutionary one so what does

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:16.560
that even mean well on the surface not too much the core i74790k features a 100

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.600
MHz clock speed improvement over the 4770k with the same features enabled at

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

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:28.799
that we were getting the whole Devil's Canyon branding might have seemed a

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.200
little bit out of place the two main real improvements are actually more

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:37.079
behind the scenes and some of the most Enthusiast friendly things Intel's done

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:41.240
in quite some time it looks like they're really listening to us first up they

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:46.119
have fixed the thermal interface material between the core and the metal

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:49.640
heat spreader on the top of the CPU that was causing Haswell chips to run

00:01:47.960 --> 00:01:54.640
extremely hot especially when overvolting and overclocking for more

00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:59.240
performance number two is that due to small incremental improvements in the

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:04.840
manufacturing process yields on these dieses have allowed Intel to provide

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:11.280
much more consistently highly overclockable 4790 K compared to the

00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:13.160
previous generation Haswell chips so

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:16.800
more consistency in the overclocking again a big thumbs up put together these

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.120
two things aren't going to be enough to make every current Haswell owner toss

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.760
their chip and rush to the store for an upgrade but they will mean a more

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.800
consistent overclocking experience and a cooler running CPU for anyone who does

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

00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:36.760
could squeeze out of our sample and how it compares to running at stock speed

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

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:47.720
g3258 might not have sounded exceptional when I introduced it but I left off one

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:52.640
very important thing it's unlocked that means that for the first

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.920
time in years Intel is giving Gamers and enthusiasts the gift of an overclockable

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

00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:04.400
z9 7 motherboard for less than the price

00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:11.519
of their previously entry-level unlocked CPU at the core i5 tier so just as a

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.280
recap it's got only two cores less cash

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:17.799
no hyperthreading and no support for turboing up to faster speeds under ideal

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

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:27.319
bench so stay tuned for some gaming Benchmark suckas oh and spoiler alert

00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:32.840
it's going to be surprisingly close to the quad core all the bells and whistles

00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:36.599
models in gaming over to you Luke I'm going to start with a quick disclaimer

00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:41.000
for both of these processors lonus gave me exactly zero minutes to fine-tune the

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.720
voltage I was able to get the fastest clock speed I could get on these chips

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

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

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

00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:02.400
the 4790k was pretty nice to overclock and deals with temperatures quite well

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

00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:10.680
70 75° the penum K though was super

00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:14.760
freaking surprising I was told this was supposed to be a great processor but

00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:20.000
getting it on the bench and messing it with with it yourself is kind of

00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:23.600
fantastic Under full load id64 1.35

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:25.280
volts this thing only gets about 60 65°

00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:29.199
that's crazy you can get that lower obviously by getting a better voltage

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:32.800
threshold but it you almost don't even need to the potential of this processor

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:37.160
is fantastic so let's check out that performance in terms of gaming

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.639
performance the 4790k did about as expected it's a little bit faster and

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:44.280
everything but not a ton faster don't worry about the star Sion result I think

00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:47.240
that's probably more based on Star Sion not being very well optimized yet as

00:04:46.039 --> 00:04:52.400
it's pre-alpha um and less to do with the

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:56.160
processor the Pentium K though holy crap if you're getting this processor please

00:04:53.960 --> 00:05:00.120
overclock it you get so much benefit from overclocking this thing it's

00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:03.759
awesome it's very noticeable in certain games and one thing to note is one of

00:05:01.919 --> 00:05:07.440
the biggest improvements that in that is increasing this average result which

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.280
we're reporting is an increase in minimum frame rates which is going to be

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:14.960
the most noticeable so this is great to overclock this processor especially with

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:19.120
you're only overclocking two cores and they're the two most important cores so

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:21.639
please overclock this processor before we jump into cine bench performance I

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

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:32.039
jumper 118 that thread's kind of awesome and we will be showing performance

00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:35.199
probably directly based to the results in that thread so you guys can compare

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:39.720
the results in that thread to these processors directly the Pentium K didn't

00:05:38.039 --> 00:05:43.680
do that great but that's kind of expected this thing isn't designed for

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:48.400
heavily threaded workloads and cinebench is so I wouldn't worry about that too

00:05:45.479 --> 00:05:52.639
much the 4790k did very well on the other hand to reiterate on our voltage

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

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

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:05.440
than we're currently running and I might have been able to get my voltage down

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.680
but who knows I just wouldn't worry about spending more than your processor

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

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:18.039
heat if you want more guidance on how to overclock these CPUs and hopefully how

00:06:16.520 --> 00:06:21.400
to tune that voltage in a little bit more Linus we'll have a full

00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:27.520
overclocking guide coming in the near future from Linus and speaking of lonus

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

00:06:29.599 --> 00:06:34.280
numbers looked and as appealing as the price for this chip will look if you

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

00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:47.280
overclocking friendly competing boards from the Green Team are cheaper than

00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:50.199
zseries boards so watch out for that but

00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:54.240
then again there are rumors about some H series boards being hacks sored to

00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:58.319
overclock the g3258 which would bring pricing much closer so keep your ear to

00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:02.599
the ground in the coming months and make sure you're paying attention when it's

00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:07.120
actually time to pull the trigger now speaking of your ears to the ground or

00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.919
something our latest new sponsor is Ting and their whole Spiel is actually pretty

00:07:08.479 --> 00:07:14.160
straightforward there are a wireless carrier in the US that says straight up

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

00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:21.360
they bill per use rather than requiring you to play like guessing games about

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

00:07:24.520 --> 00:07:31.120
customer service you talk to a real person not an automated menu finally

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:34.479
they claim that 90 8% of people will save money by switching to Ting but you

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

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:42.479
calculator the way it works is you enter the numbers from your last three bills

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

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

00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:56.879
off a new device or $25 in service credit cool eh anyway guys like this

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

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

00:08:04.599 --> 00:08:10.560
g3258 I think you guys all know which one Luke and I most excited about but

00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:14.120
hey there you go everybody loves a bargain right don't forget to subscribe

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

00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:22.400
19 minutes you guys wonder why that show is late sometimes

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.649
he
