WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.000 we've been through all the stages of GPU shortage grief and and now 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:11.920 we just don't feel anything anymore but 00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:18.000 who's this sliding into my dms concrete news about dedicated Intel arc 00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:20.880 gpus this could be our salvation 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:23.840 holy crap there's a whole bunch of other really good stuff in here 00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:29.279 dang now what we know is Intel is shaking 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:34.880 things up in a big way but the question is can Intel deliver a competitive 00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:38.879 product with enough supply to make 2022 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:40.879 a better year than 2021 i have got some 00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:45.360 thoughts and i've got a segway to our sponsor glassfire glasswire lets you see 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.520 past and present network activity detect malware on your pc or Android device and 00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:56.280 block its connections to prevent things from getting worse use offer code Linus 00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:56.280 for 25 off at the link down below 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:09.600 the whole gaming industry has been waiting with baited breath for arc since 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:12.000 it was still called xcd2 and 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 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:22.400 it's close Intel is already shipping like now arc gpus to oems who are going 00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:26.960 to be integrating them in both desktop and mobile designs and they're expecting 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:32.400 more than 50 new arc power desktops and laptops right out of the gate and before 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.840 you groan about not even wanting an Intel GPU it's worth remembering a 00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:41.360 couple of things first is that this ain't your grandma's 00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:46.240 Intel hd graphics over the last 10 years Intel has improved their GPU hardware 00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:50.320 and drivers by leaps and bounds to the point where we are actually getting 00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:56.079 i dare say kind of hopeful and second 00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:58.479 is that arc ain't some reheated 14 00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:04.320 nanometer plus plus plus it's based on tsmc's n6 process which is 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:12.160 currently only used by AMD's new mobile radeons and apus as far as GPU capacity 00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:14.879 goes so we are tapping fresh supply of a 00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:19.040 cutting edge node that is good news for GPU availability even if you don't care 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:23.840 about Intel's not only that but Intel showed off deep link a technology that 00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:28.239 allows an Intel integrated GPU to work alongside arc dedicated graphics to 00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:33.599 accelerate a task that would otherwise be limited to one GPU their example used 00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:37.920 davinci resolve to encode a video stream using deep link hyperincode which 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:42.239 dramatically improves export times using what they're calling next generation 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:47.360 quick sync video technology deep link allows for power sharing too between the 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 00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:55.040 dynamic boost but only AMD can match 00:02:52.959 --> 00:03:01.120 Intel's platform scale control over the CPU GPU and chipset to fully optimize it 00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:04.879 and that's not all the new gpus can do Intel has confirmed that death stranding 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:10.640 director's cut is going to be among the first titles to support their new xcss 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:14.959 ai upscaling algorithm in principle it works very similarly to how NVIDIA's 00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:18.239 deep learning super sampling does by training a neural network with a data 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:23.840 set that is tailored to computer graphics then running the game on your 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:28.959 local computer at a lower resolution than upscaling it using the GPU's ai 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:31.720 accelerators which Intel is calling xmx or 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.120 xe matrix extensions 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:39.760 painful naming aside this means that while early indicators are that the 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:42.959 first arcgpu codename alchemist will be 00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:44.959 a modest mid-range offering it may be 00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:49.599 able to punch above its weight class especially compared to AMD's Radeon 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:53.680 products which are using a non-ai accelerated super sampling technique 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:57.840 called fidelity effects super resolution if that's true then it means we will 00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:03.040 finally have some disruptive competition in the GPU space like we got with AMD's 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:06.959 ryzen family in the CPU space and speaking of cpus Intel's launching 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 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.160 spend much time talking about it but it is apparently shipping to oems by the 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:20.639 end of the quarter and supposedly will reach 5.5 00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:24.960 gigahertz single threaded and over 5 gigahertz all core 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 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:32.880 launched the 12900k non-s 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 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:44.160 so soon specifically to respond to AMD's ryzen 7 5800x 3ds claim to be the 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:46.320 world's fastest gaming CPU competition 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:51.120 is great isn't it and from what we've seen of 12th gen core this 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.440 keep spending sku might actually be worth buying for enthusiasts this time 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 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:03.120 performance and cost for ourselves not to mention power consumption before 00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:08.560 making a final judgment call and that's not the only desktop CPU that Intel's 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.280 launching non-k alder lake is finally 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 00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:22.320 these chips are expected to be a lot tamer on the heat output despite sharing 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:27.360 most of the same specs as their k counterparts it's worth mentioning too 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:32.800 that while 12th gen k-series cpus will turbo basically forever these non-ks 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:37.120 have the same turbo duration limits as previous generation cpus so there's even 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 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:46.240 really interesting to see how these end up performing in the real world 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:48.400 particularly the core i5 whose k cousin 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:53.199 has already become a go-to for mid-range builders these new chips are coming 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:57.520 alongside new chipsets obviously h670 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:59.360 b660 and h610 all have wi-fi 6e and RAM 00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:05.440 overclocking is supported on all but the h610 with the primary differentiator 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:08.479 between h670 and b660 being the amount 00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:11.199 of available i o b660 has half the 00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:16.319 number of dmi 4.0 lanes to connect to the CPU so consequently these boards 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:22.160 will have a lot fewer ports because of the overall lower bandwidth available to 00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:25.039 the chipset PCIe raid support is also 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:28.400 not available on b660 but none of this is a major concern for small form factor 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:33.280 builds so i can see these being a popular way to reduce cost there given 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:38.400 that the other capabilities are on par for non-overclockers h670 looks like a 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 00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:47.840 to AMD for getting Intel back on the rails here big props to our merch team 00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:53.199 too by the way look at this thing basically indestructible and comes in 14 00:06:50.479 --> 00:06:56.479 freaking colors how awesome is that and you can get a water bottle while 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 00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:05.520 coolers are going to be cool too with the rh1 bundled with core i9s featuring 00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:08.800 RGB lighting of all things that is how you know Intel is under new 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 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:17.199 things don't look super different from the typical Intel stock coolers that we 00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:20.400 all know and hate but we're gonna withhold judgment until after we've 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:24.880 tested them and get subscribed because we will totally be doing that finally 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:28.840 Intel gave us the lowdown on 12th gen mobile which is broken out into three 00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:35.440 product stacks with a total of 28 processors the enthusiast h series 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:41.199 the ultralight u series and the mid-range p series only the h series 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:45.680 will have core i9 skus but unlike the desktop chips you are capped at six 00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:50.479 performance cores alongside the eight efficiency cores 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:53.120 making the core i9 the same as the core 00:07:50.479 --> 00:07:56.319 i7 it even shares the same 45 watt maximum base power 00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:00.160 is it pointless maybe not these higher core clocks could 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:05.680 result in real world performance differences only time and laptop manufacturers 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.520 integrations into their products will tell us the true story 00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:15.199 dropping down to the new p series core i7 is similar in spec except for base 00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:21.039 frequencies and the base power cap is a mere 28 watts with 64 watts available 00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:24.960 for boost i'm really glad that Intel is providing these power limit numbers but 00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:29.039 it's going to make things confusing when you're comparing laptops at best buy to 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.360 have such broad ranges of power consumption for these chips 00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:36.880 thankfully the p-series skus only use four digits in their model numbers which 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:40.959 should help to distance them somewhat from their h-series higher-end 00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:45.279 counterparts the u-series meanwhile is even further restrained and looks more 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 00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:54.160 base and 55 watts boost on the 5 series 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:56.080 and a measly 9 watt space and 29 watts 00:08:54.160 --> 00:08:58.880 boost on the further restricted zero series 00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:02.560 this particular distinction is definitely going to cause confusion at 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:07.040 best buy and if you've wondered how a laptop with almost all efficiency cores 00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:11.680 will run take a look at these pentium and celeron skus only a single p core 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:14.720 i'm actually pretty interested in these though Anthony i think they could be 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:19.440 pretty cool of course these u-series skus aren't 00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:24.080 just i3s they're meant for the extreme end of thin and light and regardless of 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 00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:33.600 platform which includes Thunderbolt 4 and a 1080p or better camera except 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:36.800 asterisk asterisk not always 00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:41.760 gg Intel Intel says that these exemptions are 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:46.240 literally just for form factors that do not have enough physical room for a 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:50.080 1080p sensor which is fair enough i guess 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:56.160 but it's still confusing but hey at least you'll get what Intel is calling 00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:58.320 gna uh gaussian and neural accelerator 00:09:56.160 --> 00:10:02.000 which should help with image and audio noise reduction during calls 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 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:11.200 acquisition of screenovate just last month promising to make mobile devices 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:14.800 more interconnected even across different platforms 00:10:12.800 --> 00:10:18.560 not only can Intel evo powered laptops communicate with iphones to use imessage 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:22.399 on pc but they can also download health data 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:26.640 from smart watches extend the screen to Android tablets and cast photos and 00:10:24.560 --> 00:10:29.600 videos to smart tvs the software they showed off looks 00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:34.959 pretty early but they say it'll be available by holiday 2022 then we've got 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:38.880 some weirdo form factors that might catch on 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:43.440 Intel says that foldable display tech is coming to a laptop near you and while 00:10:40.959 --> 00:10:48.640 some of these examples look absolutely atrocious to use like the dual angle 00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:53.200 thing they've got going on here some like the table top or journal when 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:58.000 paired with a separate keyboard i could kind of get into that i'm 00:10:54.800 --> 00:11:00.320 getting some big dell xps m2010 portable 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.600 desktop vibes here so Intel is firmly back in the game and we need to give 00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:06.720 credit where it's due it's clear that they finally have a vision for the 00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:10.800 future with pat gelsinger at the helm and they're getting so scrappy they're 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:15.040 even taking shots at apple's marketing look at that it's so pointless 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:20.880 what are we even seeing it doesn't matter
