1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,000
we've been through all the stages of GPU shortage grief and and now

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:11,920
we just don't feel anything anymore but

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:18,000
who's this sliding into my dms concrete news about dedicated Intel arc

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,880
gpus this could be our salvation

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,840
holy crap there's a whole bunch of other really good stuff in here

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,279
dang now what we know is Intel is shaking

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:34,880
things up in a big way but the question is can Intel deliver a competitive

8
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:38,879
product with enough supply to make 2022

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,879
a better year than 2021 i have got some

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:45,360
thoughts and i've got a segway to our sponsor glassfire glasswire lets you see

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:49,520
past and present network activity detect malware on your pc or Android device and

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:56,280
block its connections to prevent things from getting worse use offer code Linus

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,280
for 25 off at the link down below

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,600
the whole gaming industry has been waiting with baited breath for arc since

15
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:12,000
it was still called xcd2 and

16
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,640
we are going to have to wait a little longer but the big news today is that

17
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:22,400
it's close Intel is already shipping like now arc gpus to oems who are going

18
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,960
to be integrating them in both desktop and mobile designs and they're expecting

19
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:32,400
more than 50 new arc power desktops and laptops right out of the gate and before

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,840
you groan about not even wanting an Intel GPU it's worth remembering a

21
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:41,360
couple of things first is that this ain't your grandma's

22
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:46,240
Intel hd graphics over the last 10 years Intel has improved their GPU hardware

23
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:50,320
and drivers by leaps and bounds to the point where we are actually getting

24
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:56,079
i dare say kind of hopeful and second

25
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,479
is that arc ain't some reheated 14

26
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:04,320
nanometer plus plus plus it's based on tsmc's n6 process which is

27
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:12,160
currently only used by AMD's new mobile radeons and apus as far as GPU capacity

28
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,879
goes so we are tapping fresh supply of a

29
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:19,040
cutting edge node that is good news for GPU availability even if you don't care

30
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:23,840
about Intel's not only that but Intel showed off deep link a technology that

31
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:28,239
allows an Intel integrated GPU to work alongside arc dedicated graphics to

32
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:33,599
accelerate a task that would otherwise be limited to one GPU their example used

33
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:37,920
davinci resolve to encode a video stream using deep link hyperincode which

34
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,239
dramatically improves export times using what they're calling next generation

35
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:47,360
quick sync video technology deep link allows for power sharing too between the

36
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:52,959
CPU and GPU this is similar to AMD's smart shift max and NVIDIA's max q

37
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:55,040
dynamic boost but only AMD can match

38
00:02:52,959 --> 00:03:01,120
Intel's platform scale control over the CPU GPU and chipset to fully optimize it

39
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:04,879
and that's not all the new gpus can do Intel has confirmed that death stranding

40
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,640
director's cut is going to be among the first titles to support their new xcss

41
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:14,959
ai upscaling algorithm in principle it works very similarly to how NVIDIA's

42
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:18,239
deep learning super sampling does by training a neural network with a data

43
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:23,840
set that is tailored to computer graphics then running the game on your

44
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:28,959
local computer at a lower resolution than upscaling it using the GPU's ai

45
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:31,720
accelerators which Intel is calling xmx or

46
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,120
xe matrix extensions

47
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,760
painful naming aside this means that while early indicators are that the

48
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,959
first arcgpu codename alchemist will be

49
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,959
a modest mid-range offering it may be

50
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:49,599
able to punch above its weight class especially compared to AMD's Radeon

51
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,680
products which are using a non-ai accelerated super sampling technique

52
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,840
called fidelity effects super resolution if that's true then it means we will

53
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:03,040
finally have some disruptive competition in the GPU space like we got with AMD's

54
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,959
ryzen family in the CPU space and speaking of cpus Intel's launching

55
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:12,159
some new ones of those too starting with the core i9 12900 ks now they didn't

56
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,160
spend much time talking about it but it is apparently shipping to oems by the

57
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,639
end of the quarter and supposedly will reach 5.5

58
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:24,960
gigahertz single threaded and over 5 gigahertz all core

59
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,199
on the surface this one's actually a bit of a head scratcher seeing as they just

60
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,880
launched the 12900k non-s

61
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,840
but if you think about it for a moment it's clear that Intel is releasing this

62
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:44,160
so soon specifically to respond to AMD's ryzen 7 5800x 3ds claim to be the

63
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,320
world's fastest gaming CPU competition

64
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:51,120
is great isn't it and from what we've seen of 12th gen core this

65
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:55,440
keep spending sku might actually be worth buying for enthusiasts this time

66
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,280
that is assuming you've got the cooling to handle it we're gonna have to see the

67
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:03,120
performance and cost for ourselves not to mention power consumption before

68
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:08,560
making a final judgment call and that's not the only desktop CPU that Intel's

69
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,280
launching non-k alder lake is finally

70
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:17,520
upon us with half the maximum base power at 65 watts or less so unlike the ks

71
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:22,320
these chips are expected to be a lot tamer on the heat output despite sharing

72
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,360
most of the same specs as their k counterparts it's worth mentioning too

73
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:32,800
that while 12th gen k-series cpus will turbo basically forever these non-ks

74
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:37,120
have the same turbo duration limits as previous generation cpus so there's even

75
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:41,039
more of a difference for k-chips compared to non-k chips now and it'll be

76
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:46,240
really interesting to see how these end up performing in the real world

77
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,400
particularly the core i5 whose k cousin

78
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:53,199
has already become a go-to for mid-range builders these new chips are coming

79
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:57,520
alongside new chipsets obviously h670

80
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:59,360
b660 and h610 all have wi-fi 6e and RAM

81
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:05,440
overclocking is supported on all but the h610 with the primary differentiator

82
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:08,479
between h670 and b660 being the amount

83
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,199
of available i o b660 has half the

84
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:16,319
number of dmi 4.0 lanes to connect to the CPU so consequently these boards

85
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:22,160
will have a lot fewer ports because of the overall lower bandwidth available to

86
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:25,039
the chipset PCIe raid support is also

87
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,400
not available on b660 but none of this is a major concern for small form factor

88
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:33,280
builds so i can see these being a popular way to reduce cost there given

89
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:38,400
that the other capabilities are on par for non-overclockers h670 looks like a

90
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,199
great alternative to z690 and it feels good to be able to say that so big props

91
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,840
to AMD for getting Intel back on the rails here big props to our merch team

92
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:53,199
too by the way look at this thing basically indestructible and comes in 14

93
00:06:50,479 --> 00:06:56,479
freaking colors how awesome is that and you can get a water bottle while

94
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:00,400
you're at it it'll keep your drink cool now Intel thinks their new laminar CPU

95
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:05,520
coolers are going to be cool too with the rh1 bundled with core i9s featuring

96
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:08,800
RGB lighting of all things that is how you know Intel is under new

97
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:13,919
leadership when was the last time you saw Intel do anything with RGB that wasn't a skull canyon nook now these

98
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,199
things don't look super different from the typical Intel stock coolers that we

99
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:20,400
all know and hate but we're gonna withhold judgment until after we've

100
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,880
tested them and get subscribed because we will totally be doing that finally

101
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Intel gave us the lowdown on 12th gen mobile which is broken out into three

102
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:35,440
product stacks with a total of 28 processors the enthusiast h series

103
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:41,199
the ultralight u series and the mid-range p series only the h series

104
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,680
will have core i9 skus but unlike the desktop chips you are capped at six

105
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,479
performance cores alongside the eight efficiency cores

106
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:53,120
making the core i9 the same as the core

107
00:07:50,479 --> 00:07:56,319
i7 it even shares the same 45 watt maximum base power

108
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:00,160
is it pointless maybe not these higher core clocks could

109
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,680
result in real world performance differences only time and laptop manufacturers

110
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:09,520
integrations into their products will tell us the true story

111
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:15,199
dropping down to the new p series core i7 is similar in spec except for base

112
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:21,039
frequencies and the base power cap is a mere 28 watts with 64 watts available

113
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:24,960
for boost i'm really glad that Intel is providing these power limit numbers but

114
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:29,039
it's going to make things confusing when you're comparing laptops at best buy to

115
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:33,360
have such broad ranges of power consumption for these chips

116
00:08:31,039 --> 00:08:36,880
thankfully the p-series skus only use four digits in their model numbers which

117
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,959
should help to distance them somewhat from their h-series higher-end

118
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:45,279
counterparts the u-series meanwhile is even further restrained and looks more

119
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:51,120
like a p-series core i3 to be honest with you these come in at just 15 watts

120
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:54,160
base and 55 watts boost on the 5 series

121
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,080
and a measly 9 watt space and 29 watts

122
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,880
boost on the further restricted zero series

123
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,560
this particular distinction is definitely going to cause confusion at

124
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:07,040
best buy and if you've wondered how a laptop with almost all efficiency cores

125
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:11,680
will run take a look at these pentium and celeron skus only a single p core

126
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,720
i'm actually pretty interested in these though Anthony i think they could be

127
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:19,440
pretty cool of course these u-series skus aren't

128
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:24,080
just i3s they're meant for the extreme end of thin and light and regardless of

129
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:27,839
which class of CPU you choose you're going to end up with Intel's new evo

130
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:33,600
platform which includes Thunderbolt 4 and a 1080p or better camera except

131
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,800
asterisk asterisk not always

132
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:41,760
gg Intel Intel says that these exemptions are

133
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:46,240
literally just for form factors that do not have enough physical room for a

134
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:50,080
1080p sensor which is fair enough i guess

135
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:56,160
but it's still confusing but hey at least you'll get what Intel is calling

136
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,320
gna uh gaussian and neural accelerator

137
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:02,000
which should help with image and audio noise reduction during calls

138
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:06,720
now one surprise that Intel didn't give us a heads up on is the fruits of their

139
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:11,200
acquisition of screenovate just last month promising to make mobile devices

140
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:14,800
more interconnected even across different platforms

141
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:18,560
not only can Intel evo powered laptops communicate with iphones to use imessage

142
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,399
on pc but they can also download health data

143
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:26,640
from smart watches extend the screen to Android tablets and cast photos and

144
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:29,600
videos to smart tvs the software they showed off looks

145
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:34,959
pretty early but they say it'll be available by holiday 2022 then we've got

146
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:38,880
some weirdo form factors that might catch on

147
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:43,440
Intel says that foldable display tech is coming to a laptop near you and while

148
00:10:40,959 --> 00:10:48,640
some of these examples look absolutely atrocious to use like the dual angle

149
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:53,200
thing they've got going on here some like the table top or journal when

150
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:58,000
paired with a separate keyboard i could kind of get into that i'm

151
00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:00,320
getting some big dell xps m2010 portable

152
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,600
desktop vibes here so Intel is firmly back in the game and we need to give

153
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:06,720
credit where it's due it's clear that they finally have a vision for the

154
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,800
future with pat gelsinger at the helm and they're getting so scrappy they're

155
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:15,040
even taking shots at apple's marketing look at that it's so pointless

156
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:20,880
what are we even seeing it doesn't matter Intel's on top

157
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,800
