notifications with the bell icon so you won't miss any future videos if you're a

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:14.799
long time Techquickie viewer you know that we've had reservations about CPU

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:20.960
naming schemes for a long time Intel named a CPU lineup core 2

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.279
even though some of those chips had four cores

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:27.920
then they gave us core 3 core i5 and

00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:32.880
core i7 despite the fact that they don't make any

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:35.760
processors in any of those lines with an

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:40.320
odd number of cores and then this scheme was subsequently copied by AMD for its

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:44.480
new ryzen series and between you and me i've always

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:49.280
thought that celeron sounds more like a villain from a bee

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:51.520
movie about eating vegetables

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:57.520
now Intel is throwing precious metals into the mix now to be fair they are

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:01.920
actually used in processor manufacturing but that doesn't help us understand what

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:09.280
exactly it is we're buying so let's demystify the recently released pentium

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:12.400
gold and pentium silver chips from Intel

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:15.040
for starters pentium gold doesn't mean

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:17.920
that Intel has souped up a lower tier chip to be one of the most powerful

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.960
products ever i mean think about how easy it is to get

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:29.040
a gold credit card these days pentium gold is basically a rebranding strategy

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:32.720
for their standard desktop grade pentium cpus starting with the kaby lake

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:36.479
generation and since these gold chips are just

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:41.280
rebranded the good news is that you won't need any kind of special new

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:47.200
socket or motherboard to use them one cool thing is that pentium gold cpus

00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:51.840
do feature hyper threading making them more like what core i3s were not too

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:56.159
long ago where things start to get a little less

00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:01.520
clear is when we get into the pentium silver lineup the name suggests that

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:06.960
it's kind of like a less nice version of gold but it's actually a really

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:11.680
different product silver chips aren't available in boxes from your favorite

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:16.560
online stores rather they are lower power chips primarily designed for the

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:21.120
mobile segment where battery life is far more important than peak performance and

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:27.440
although some pentium silvers will be desktop variants with slightly higher

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:28.879
tdps they all use bga sockets meaning

00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:32.400
that they get soldered onto the motherboard rather than being removable

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:38.000
by the user they also use very different micro architectures while pentium gold will

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:40.959
continue to use normal desktop architectures like kaby

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.760
lake silver cpus are built around low power

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:50.400
designs similar to what you'd see in Intel atom processors in compact and

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:54.400
mobile gadgets however one thing that is interesting

00:02:52.480 --> 00:03:00.160
about pentium silver is that it will support hevc and vp9 video at 4k these

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:05.200
are compression standards that can deliver high quality video with less

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:08.720
data and with netflix using vp9 a pentium silver could be helpful if

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:14.080
you're fighting battery life or bandwidth limits on mobile

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:16.720
if you aren't silver also supports 160

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:20.720
megahertz wide wi-fi channels and while channels this wide can actually

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:25.760
sometimes cause or be susceptible to interference they can enable faster

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:30.239
speeds if your router is up to scratch though this is also true of the slightly

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:35.440
lower end celeron chips that are essentially the same but have lower

00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:39.120
clock speeds or fewer cores so yeah i mean the features are kind of

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:43.280
cool but i'm not sure that Intel really clarified anything for us consumers by

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:46.720
naming their wares after metals especially considering they recently did

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:51.040
the same thing with the server grade xeon chips and that just ended up

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:54.799
confusing everyone too hopefully though this clears things up

00:03:53.040 --> 00:04:00.080
enough for now and Intel won't decide to throw iridium

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:04.080
titanium and plutonium into the mix anytime soon which

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:08.080
yeah i should just probably stop giving them ideas

00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:13.360
