00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.000
finally our review of Intel's new consumer grade Flagship Skylake CPU and

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:10.040
Zed 170 chipset is here that's right I

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:14.599
said Flagship which probably seems a little strange considering Intel's

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:19.279
previous topend quad core code named Broadwell haven't even been on the

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:24.199
market for 3 months on the desktop side and although Intel has gained a pretty

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:28.840
big Market advantage over AMD partially due to how regularly they release CPUs

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:33.879
and chipsets the past few Processor architectures have merely felt like

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:38.040
incremental upgrades to a lot of people with many gamers and enthusiasts like me

00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:44.280
still happily rocking their Sandy Bridge chips from 2011 2600k for the freaking

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.399
win so what does Skylake bring to the table and is it the next big thing like

00:00:47.199 --> 00:00:52.840
the video if you want to see us check out a 3D printer called the Ultram Maker

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:55.899
2 extended

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:07.040
the Logitech g303 features lightweight design an advanced Optical sensor with

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:11.560
Delta zero technology for precise tracking and RGB lighting to match your

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:16.920
setup click now to learn more let's start out with a look at the CPU itself

00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:19.159
this is a core i7 6700 K and just like

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:23.560
all of its other K series i7s it features four cores four hyperthreads

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:29.040
for a total of eight threads and an unlock multiplier for overclocking out

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.360
of the box you'll get a 4.0 GHz clock

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.799
with the turbo boost frequency of 4.2 GHz now if this doesn't sound like a big

00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:41.360
Improvement right away that's cuz Intel's last gen 4790k ran at the same

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:46.240
base clock speed but while the CPU may not have incredibly eye popping specs at

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:50.680
first glance the Skylight platform does come with quite a few improvements we

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:55.079
haven't yet seen on mainstream chipsets for starters ddr4 support is finally

00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:00.799
available for cheaper motherboards with Sky supporting up to

00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:03.799
2133 MHz ddr4 RAM gone to the days where

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.320
you had to pay $1,000 for a six core CPU

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:09.879
and straight baller board to just to try out some memory it really doesn't make

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:15.760
much of a difference anyways check this video out for more on the differences of

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:18.400
ddr4 and DDR3 sky like also comes with

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:23.000
revision 3.0 of Intel's Direct Media interface or DMI which is basically the

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:26.959
thing that connects your CPU to the chipset and many of your computer's

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:32.360
other components and peripherals it's twice as fast as DMI 2.0 on Haswell and

00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:38.160
other earlier processors and given how dmi's four lanes carry 20 lanes of PCI

00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:42.680
Express bandwidth to and from the CPU the extra speed should help if you

00:02:40.519 --> 00:02:47.800
happen to be running a whole bunch of high-end stuff like big external storage

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:52.120
highspeed PCI ssds or just downloading and streaming tons of stuff through a

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:55.800
big internet pipe skyl also includes some serious improvements on the

00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:00.120
graphics side as well now I know that many of you like me are going to be

00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:05.799
running Skylake with a discreet graph card but remember Sky series is going to

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:07.959
include lower-end chips like core i3s

00:03:05.799 --> 00:03:12.840
and Pentium so if you are using the integrated GPU maybe inside an htpc or

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:19.519
something you'll be able to enjoy the full support of HC codc the successor to

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:24.959
h.264 which is newly supported in Windows 10 Skylake also includes native

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:29.040
support for Thunderbolt 3.0 which has 5 gab per second transfer speed which

00:03:27.239 --> 00:03:36.040
means it is also fast enough to Output 4K 60 HZ video over HDMI or 5K 60 HZ

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:38.000
video over DisplayPort very cool so how

00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:42.120
well does this thing overclock well first Intel's had a few issues with

00:03:39.720 --> 00:03:46.560
several overclocked CPUs both ivybridge and Haswell had some well publicized

00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:51.760
issues with excessive heat so much so in the case of Haswell that Intel's refresh

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:57.040
of Haswell Devil's Canyon had improved thermal interface material as a major

00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:01.360
selling point so Intel's tried to reduce heat output on Skylake by doing two

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:05.840
different things things one was improve power efficiency and two was move the

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.519
voltage regulator off the CPU and back onto the motherboard to reduce the

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:14.640
amount of crap that's actually heating up the CPU package so even though the

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:18.880
smaller 14 nanometer process could otherwise result in higher overall

00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:22.919
temperatures these changes should result in a relatively easy overclock on a

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:28.040
wider range of motherboards including cheaper ones that don't have the fancy 8

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:30.520
or 12 phase power vrms and early tests

00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:34.520
show that it actually won't be nearly as much of a variance between individual

00:04:32.280 --> 00:04:39.919
chips as well which is nice you won't have to hunt for certain bins anymore

00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:46.320
hopefully it's benchmarking time for our test bench we used the new ASUS z170

00:04:43.400 --> 00:04:55.000
Deluxe motherboard with our core i76700k along with 16 GB of ddr4 2400

00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:58.800
MHz RAM a Samsung 850 Pro 1 terb SSD a

00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:01.600
reference GTX 980 TI and a Corsair 100i

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:06.280
GTX liquid cooling cooler we took this setup and put it up against Devil's

00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:10.400
Canyon core i7 4790k running on an as

00:05:06.280 --> 00:05:14.560
Seuss Sabertooth z97 Mark I also with 16

00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:16.440
GB of 2400 MHz RAM albeit DDR3 instead

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:20.280
of ddr4 and kept the rest of the components the same to get an Apples to

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.440
Apples comparison or as close as we could given that the two CPUs are

00:05:22.280 --> 00:05:30.560
different and use different types of memory we overclocked both chips to a

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:32.199
stable 4.7 GHz on 1.4 vol we Ed PC Mark

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:37.960
8 to test General performance and cinebench along with szip to give our

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:40.440
test bench a CPU bound workload our

00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:45.919
overclocked skylike chip showed slight improvements over Devil's Canyon perhaps

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:49.639
not enough to notice in everyday uh situations our gaming benchmarks told

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:54.680
somewhat of a similar story with virtually no difference in Far Cry 4 and

00:05:52.199 --> 00:06:00.199
City skylines but we did see about a 7 FPS Improvement in Total War Atilla

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:05.360
which is pretty CPU sensitive title that also really pushed our gtx980 TI at Max

00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:09.639
settings so although Skylake isn't a massive Improvement clock for clock over

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:13.880
the previous generation only about 4% in PC Mark 8 is it still a compelling

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:17.800
upgrade well if you're running an older chipset looking for a more consistently

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:22.120
solid overclocking experience on mainstream motherboards or want a

00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:28.280
specific feature set like Thunderbolt 3.0 support or massive bandwidth for

00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:33.000
things like your expensive NVMe drives or Skylake is is going to be certainly

00:06:30.520 --> 00:06:37.440
worth a look but if you're not a super serial overclocker or you're a gamer

00:06:35.599 --> 00:06:43.599
with a newer platform like Sandy or Ivory Bridge it might make more sense to

00:06:40.039 --> 00:06:45.080
spend your hard-earned cash elsewhere if

00:06:43.599 --> 00:06:48.919
you're building a mobile app and are searching for a simple payment solution

00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:53.400
you should definitely check out brain tree they offer code for easy online
