00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:08.000
today's video is a true David versus Goliath epic showdown a battle royale

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:13.200
between The Mouse and the Minotaur a colossal clash between cthulu and a Care

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

00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:20.240
today's video is to take a real Underdog

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:26.920
competitor the Intel Pentium g3258 and see how well it can compete

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:30.279
with Intel's top-of-the-line cor i7

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:32.759
5960x if we give it as much help as we

00:00:30.279 --> 00:00:35.640
can so stay tuned for that and another upcoming CPU benchmarking

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:39.600
experimentation video where I'll be taking that same extreme Edition chip

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

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.160
performance of other Intel CPUs in

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

00:01:03.839 --> 00:01:12.200
more so let's take a moment to meet today's competitors in the right corner

00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:14.880
wearing blue trunks is a core i7 5960x

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:19.680
an 8 core monster of a processor that's clocked at 3 GHz nominal and turbo

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.600
boosts up to 3.5 it features hyperthreading for a total of 16

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:27.880
processing threads it supports ddr4 memory quad Channel DE booot and is the

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:33.159
meanest desktop CPU on the block with the only real knock against it being the

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.520
,000 price tag and in the left corner

00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:41.799
wearing I guess they also blue trunks is the Pentium 3258 uh anniversary edition

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:46.119
now Pentium processors used to be topof the line but these days Intel kind of

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:51.000
uses the brand on only their most budget oriented desktop CPUs with very very low

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:56.280
specs I mean in fact this one only features two processing cores in an era

00:01:53.479 --> 00:02:01.200
when four is the norm no hyperthreading for better handling of multiple tasks

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:03.320
per core a lowly 3 . 2 GHz clock speed

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

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:14.519
cores dynamically with turbo boost so it's stuck running at 3.2 GHz all the

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:16.560
time not much of a sales pitch right

00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:22.680
yeah lus actually this thing sounds awful why are you even interested in it

00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:24.599
well since you asked the g3258 is an

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:30.040
exceptional piece of hardware for two reasons one it's only 70 bucks and has

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:34.519
the same underlying architecture as the of Intel's Haswell CPUs including that

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:40.080
extreme Edition albe it with less cash and two that 3.2 GHz is a little

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:46.720
misleading when you can spend literally 30 seconds overclocking this bad boy to

00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:50.640
4.5 GHz or more with 1.35 volt I was

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:52.400
Rock Solid stable at 4.7 GHz so with

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:57.360
single-threaded performance that's theoretically

00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.640
25% better than what the 5960x can

00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:05.760
achieve at stock speeds maybe some of our our tests gaming anyone won't look

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:08.159
so one-sided after all so let's get into

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:14.959
the test I ran both configurations with 16 gigs of DDR3 1866 and ddr4 2400

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:20.319
according to platform compatibility both of them ran an ASUS GTX 970 stxs

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.799
graphics card for all game tests and both were cooled by a Corsair h60 liquid

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:28.640
cooler we'll start with the gaming results all games were run at 1080p

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.959
since most gamers are still using that resolution and

00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:36.959
frankly I was really hoping for better from the Pentium anniversary edition

00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:41.080
even overclocked thanks to the constantly improving ability of modern

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:45.760
games to Leverage The 5960x is additional processing course the

00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:50.480
pentiums higher frequency was only able to give it the upper hand in Tomb Raider

00:03:47.799 --> 00:03:55.439
2013 but the good news here is that with the exception of Crisis 3 the Pentium

00:03:52.799 --> 00:03:59.799
didn't bottleneck even a$ 300 plus dollar graphics card to the point where

00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:05.439
minimum frame rates fell so drastically below that magical 60fps Mark that it

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.280
was unpleasant to play so it's not a win

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:14.920
for the g3258 in the conventional sense but considering that it costs less than

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:16.919
114th as much and delivers a passable

00:04:14.920 --> 00:04:23.040
experience even a good experience when overclocked I can't rag on it too hard

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:25.080
here non-gaming results were as expected

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:28.880
much worse not having additional processing cores in any multi-threaded

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:34.320
workload like the 3D rendering results and cinebench and POV Ray and popular

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:39.280
compression utility 7 zip made this a blood bath so don't expect the g3258 to

00:04:37.479 --> 00:04:43.800
perform well for tasks like video editing and remember that the point of

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

00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:56.280
default speed and there's actually even Headroom on that bad boy as well so it

00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:58.320
actually looks even closer than it is I

00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:03.680
mean for heavy multitasking like what we did in this video where I actually tried

00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:09.479
to create the most ridiculous scenario that I could to max out an 8e CPU more

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:14.840
processing cores really are needed these days with as many as possible being a

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:17.160
pretty nice luxury but it's conclusion

00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:21.680
time now I guess life is rarely as simple as picking out whichever one

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:26.520
seems most luxurious and going with that and cost is always a factor you may have

00:05:24.440 --> 00:05:31.400
noticed that I stealthily included the core i5

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:34.240
4670k on all these graphs from before

00:05:31.400 --> 00:05:38.440
that was no accident at 240 bucks for actually the

00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:40.440
4690k which is even slightly faster the

00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:44.199
bang for the buck proposition looks pretty good compared to the extreme

00:05:41.960 --> 00:05:49.360
Edition and while it doesn't deliver as much value per dollar in a lighter task

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:54.319
as our little you know David g3258 it also won't run into a

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:59.639
straightup performance wall like the Pentium did in Crisis 3 where minimum

00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:04.960
frame rates dropped to 14 FPS making making the game an unplayable stuttery

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

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
