00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,759
CPU Innovation is dead how many of you

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,799
feel this way like every time you upgrade your computer you're saving 32

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:17,000
cents on your power bill this month and not getting better performance in games

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:21,400
creative applications or even just general

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:24,240
usage well the thing about feelings is

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:31,439
that they're difficult to quantify so we gathered up every top Intel CPU from the

7
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:32,920
last 10 years put together an epic

8
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:41,440
comparison for you performance power consumption

9
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:44,320
thermals and price is innovation dead is

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,320
it More Than A

Feeling G fuel is the sugar-free Alternative Energy beverage that helps

12
00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:05,760
you maintain focus and endurance over long days and gaming sessions use our

13
00:01:04,479 --> 00:01:10,880
code at the link below let's start with our testing

14
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:16,720
methodology we used the same video card on every platform even though the GTX

15
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:22,680
1080 wasn't even a twinkle in Jensen's eye when the Pentium extreme Edition 955

16
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:27,960
was the King of the Hill we did this because we wanted the main variable to

17
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:33,360
be CPU performance rather than allowing this to turn into a comparison of of the

18
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:36,520
best overall systems through the years

19
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,920
with that said DDR memory has gone all

20
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:43,640
the way from 667 MHz dual channel to

21
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,079
over 2,000 MHz quad channel so our

22
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:51,399
compromise there was to use a high-end RAM and motherboard combination that

23
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:57,079
would have been typical at the time we went 10 years back and for every year

24
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:03,079
picked out the first extreme Edition Intel CPU then for each one We performed

25
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:09,080
the following tests temperature underload overall system power

26
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,520
consumption in our Skybox stair test and

27
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:16,760
we put it through a suite of modern CPU and gaming benchmarks though since this

28
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,879
project already had me tunneling into the dark recesses of my past I was

29
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:28,920
unable to resist benchmarking each CPU on halflife 2 as well using such old

30
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:34,680
Hardware presented a few challenges not least of which was we had to use Windows

31
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:38,640
7 on all of our builds to ensure driver

32
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:41,879
and game support CPU Mark was the first

33
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:43,720
test and the results were very boring

34
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:49,959
since they were just numbers on a spreadsheet but then I had John turned

35
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:52,440
it into a graph ha much better while the

36
00:02:49,959 --> 00:02:57,040
multi-threaded results that use all of the CPU's cores show incremental

37
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:02,920
performance improvements the hidden story here is the single-threaded result

38
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:10,599
where we see Intel's current 10 core Flagship the 6950x getting outperformed

39
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,799
by chips going all the way back to 2011

40
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:18,120
in y cruncher a benchmark that calculates 50 million digits of pi we

41
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:23,799
tested in multi-threaded mode which gave us similar results to CPU Mark

42
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:28,519
incremental improvements cinebench proved to be interesting as I initially

43
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:35,200
expected the results would mimic CPU Mark but I was pleasantly surprised the

44
00:03:31,799 --> 00:03:38,239
6950x sat at the top as King in both

45
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:41,439
multi-threading and single core tests

46
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:45,439
with the oldest chip a Pentium on the

47
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:48,319
bottom Lucky Dog onto our first real

48
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:54,120
world Benchmark Adobe Media encoder again shows the older x79 chips with

49
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:58,799
their higher single core clock speeds beating the

50
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,319
6950x in the more commonly used GPU

51
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:05,760
accelerated rendering method a video where we went more into this and why it

52
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:11,000
happens can be found here each of the game benchmarks seemed

53
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:16,359
to tell the same old story of incremental performance bumps rise of

54
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:21,880
the Tomb Raider our modern game engine representative managed to scale through

55
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:25,880
all generations only slowing down when

56
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:28,400
going from 8 to 10 cores Crisis 3

57
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:35,039
representing an older AAA engine improved very little pass the i7 965 as

58
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:40,000
it is not a very multi-threaded title and then there was halflife 2 whose

59
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:45,440
numbers don't show us much other than boring old incremental bumps but here

60
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:50,639
are the results for Nostalgia purposes so yes for the most part each

61
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:55,240
chip performed better than its predecessor but the margin of

62
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:59,840
improvement from Chip to chip shows a steady downward Trend though I'm sure

63
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:05,400
for some of you this didn't come as much of a surprise Intel has publicly stated

64
00:05:03,039 --> 00:05:09,759
their R&D is less focused on huge increases in processing power for

65
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:16,320
Consumer PCS because they want to direct their attention to mobile data centers

66
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:19,560
Internet of Things devices and the cloud

67
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,400
so then CPU power draw and heat output

68
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:27,800
which are very important to those markets that's way down on newer

69
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:30,319
products right only sort of at idle

70
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:35,720
power saving features have improved this dramatically but when working hard on

71
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:40,039
the high end at least Intel has settled into a thermal and power budget they're

72
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:47,039
comfortable with and they seem to be just adding more cores accordingly so

73
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:49,840
efficiency is up that is performance per

74
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:54,360
watt but your power draw while gaming will likely remain mostly

75
00:05:51,800 --> 00:06:00,240
unchanged let's look at pricing Trends now for an entire decade a, us give or

76
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:08,319
take would get you the Pinnacle of Intel consumer engineering not so anymore

77
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:14,479
they're asking a whopping $700 for their Flagship Enthusiast

78
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:16,880
product so conclusion time then

79
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:22,080
decreasing performance gains and increasing prices the rational human in

80
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,880
me might point at the collapse of Moore's Law caused by the cost and

81
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:31,840
difficulty of continuing to shrink silicon transistors and Intel's design

82
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:37,039
goals that have shifted to address growing markets rather than shrinking

83
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:41,319
ones to explain this but the conspiracy

84
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:44,400
theorist and me noticed three things one

85
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:46,400
after 2011 we stopped seeing large

86
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:51,400
single core performance bumps from extreme Edition chips and after 2013 we

87
00:06:49,599 --> 00:06:58,000
stopped seeing tangible single core improvements in consumer chips at all

88
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,879
two the last time AMD had a CPU in

89
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:08,120
competition with Intel for the high in Market was in 2008 and three perhaps

90
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:10,440
most incriminating the Intel logo looks

91
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:14,080
suspiciously like the eye of a reptile turned on its
