00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:08,000
today's video is a true David versus Goliath epic showdown a battle royale

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,200
between The Mouse and the Minotaur a colossal clash between cthulu and a Care

3
00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:17,840
Bear that okay yeah I'm probably selling this a little bit hard but the point of

4
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:20,240
today's video is to take a real Underdog

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:26,920
competitor the Intel Pentium g3258 and see how well it can compete

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:30,279
with Intel's top-of-the-line cor i7

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:32,759
5960x if we give it as much help as we

8
00:00:30,279 --> 00:00:35,640
can so stay tuned for that and another upcoming CPU benchmarking

9
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:39,600
experimentation video where I'll be taking that same extreme Edition chip

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:47,160
that we'll be looking at here and seeing if I can manipulate it to simulate the

11
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:47,160
performance of other Intel CPUs in

12
00:00:51,879 --> 00:00:59,760
benchmarks from December 13th to 20th 2014 you can save on select Intel CPUs

00:00:57,239 --> 00:01:06,360
KN and ssds with special holiday rebates from select retailers click now to learn

14
00:01:03,839 --> 00:01:12,200
more so let's take a moment to meet today's competitors in the right corner

15
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,880
wearing blue trunks is a core i7 5960x

16
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:19,680
an 8 core monster of a processor that's clocked at 3 GHz nominal and turbo

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,600
boosts up to 3.5 it features hyperthreading for a total of 16

18
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,880
processing threads it supports ddr4 memory quad Channel DE booot and is the

19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:33,159
meanest desktop CPU on the block with the only real knock against it being the

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,520
,000 price tag and in the left corner

21
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:41,799
wearing I guess they also blue trunks is the Pentium 3258 uh anniversary edition

22
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:46,119
now Pentium processors used to be topof the line but these days Intel kind of

23
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:51,000
uses the brand on only their most budget oriented desktop CPUs with very very low

24
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:56,280
specs I mean in fact this one only features two processing cores in an era

25
00:01:53,479 --> 00:02:01,200
when four is the norm no hyperthreading for better handling of multiple tasks

26
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:03,320
per core a lowly 3 . 2 GHz clock speed

27
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:08,080
and worst of all it doesn't have the ability to boost up the frequency of its

28
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:14,519
cores dynamically with turbo boost so it's stuck running at 3.2 GHz all the

29
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,560
time not much of a sales pitch right

30
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:22,680
yeah lus actually this thing sounds awful why are you even interested in it

31
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,599
well since you asked the g3258 is an

32
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:30,040
exceptional piece of hardware for two reasons one it's only 70 bucks and has

33
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:34,519
the same underlying architecture as the of Intel's Haswell CPUs including that

34
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:40,080
extreme Edition albe it with less cash and two that 3.2 GHz is a little

35
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:46,720
misleading when you can spend literally 30 seconds overclocking this bad boy to

36
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:50,640
4.5 GHz or more with 1.35 volt I was

37
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:52,400
Rock Solid stable at 4.7 GHz so with

38
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:57,360
single-threaded performance that's theoretically

39
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:59,640
25% better than what the 5960x can

40
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:05,760
achieve at stock speeds maybe some of our our tests gaming anyone won't look

41
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:08,159
so one-sided after all so let's get into

42
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:14,959
the test I ran both configurations with 16 gigs of DDR3 1866 and ddr4 2400

43
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:20,319
according to platform compatibility both of them ran an ASUS GTX 970 stxs

44
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,799
graphics card for all game tests and both were cooled by a Corsair h60 liquid

45
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,640
cooler we'll start with the gaming results all games were run at 1080p

46
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,959
since most gamers are still using that resolution and

47
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:36,959
frankly I was really hoping for better from the Pentium anniversary edition

48
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:41,080
even overclocked thanks to the constantly improving ability of modern

49
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:45,760
games to Leverage The 5960x is additional processing course the

50
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:50,480
pentiums higher frequency was only able to give it the upper hand in Tomb Raider

51
00:03:47,799 --> 00:03:55,439
2013 but the good news here is that with the exception of Crisis 3 the Pentium

52
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:59,799
didn't bottleneck even a$ 300 plus dollar graphics card to the point where

53
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:05,439
minimum frame rates fell so drastically below that magical 60fps Mark that it

54
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:08,280
was unpleasant to play so it's not a win

55
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:14,920
for the g3258 in the conventional sense but considering that it costs less than

56
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,919
114th as much and delivers a passable

57
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:23,040
experience even a good experience when overclocked I can't rag on it too hard

58
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,080
here non-gaming results were as expected

59
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,880
much worse not having additional processing cores in any multi-threaded

60
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,320
workload like the 3D rendering results and cinebench and POV Ray and popular

61
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:39,280
compression utility 7 zip made this a blood bath so don't expect the g3258 to

62
00:04:37,479 --> 00:04:43,800
perform well for tasks like video editing and remember that the point of

63
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:49,120
our test was to find out how close we could get the g3258 to the 5960x is

64
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:56,280
default speed and there's actually even Headroom on that bad boy as well so it

65
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,320
actually looks even closer than it is I

66
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:03,680
mean for heavy multitasking like what we did in this video where I actually tried

67
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:09,479
to create the most ridiculous scenario that I could to max out an 8e CPU more

68
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:14,840
processing cores really are needed these days with as many as possible being a

69
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,160
pretty nice luxury but it's conclusion

70
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:21,680
time now I guess life is rarely as simple as picking out whichever one

71
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:26,520
seems most luxurious and going with that and cost is always a factor you may have

72
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:31,400
noticed that I stealthily included the core i5

73
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,240
4670k on all these graphs from before

74
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:38,440
that was no accident at 240 bucks for actually the

75
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:40,440
4690k which is even slightly faster the

76
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,199
bang for the buck proposition looks pretty good compared to the extreme

77
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:49,360
Edition and while it doesn't deliver as much value per dollar in a lighter task

78
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:54,319
as our little you know David g3258 it also won't run into a

79
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:59,639
straightup performance wall like the Pentium did in Crisis 3 where minimum

80
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,960
frame rates dropped to 14 FPS making making the game an unplayable stuttery

81
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:09,560
mess so that's why most people end up with something more like a corai 5 at

82
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,160
the end of their shopping experience but I'd like to hear from you guys in the
