1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,680
when i first saw the pentium g4560

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:08,960
at 64. earlier this year i thought

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:15,440
gee the core i7 6850 is almost exactly 10

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:20,320
times the price we should see if it's at all worth it

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:24,960
but we kind of missed the boat on that one

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,000
because the core i9 is here now so i mean

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,840
who would even care about this comparison anymore anyway

8
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:40,239
wait we'll just use its replacement the core i9 7820x

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:54,000
and we'll just agree to disagree about how many times 64 goes into 600

10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,760
synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

11
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:05,920
at once check it out now at the link in the video description

12
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:14,400
let's get this out of the way right now we are not expecting the pentium g4560

13
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,760
to go toe-to-toe with the core i9 7820x

14
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,280
that's stupid i mean for one the core i9 has turbo

15
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,400
boost to say nothing of the six

16
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:28,159
extra cores that it's packing under the hood

17
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:32,159
well okay Linus then what is the point of this video

18
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:36,640
i'm glad you asked first since one is roughly

19
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:41,600
ten times the cost of the other we thought this would give us a good feel

20
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,720
for how pricing scales with performance

21
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,840
within Intel's product stack because

22
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:51,520
i think obviously we're not going to be getting 10 times the performance with the core

23
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:56,640
i9 right or will be

24
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,880
no we've been through that that's stupid

25
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:03,439
reason number two is that this will give us some interesting insight into

26
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:08,440
bottlenecks and where they show up within the system for example will the

27
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:14,239
rebalanced cache and avx-512 support of the core i9 help it

28
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,520
will it hinder it will it depend on the workload

29
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,959
how much will the extra cores help with real world tasks does it even really

30
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:27,040
matter now i know i know

31
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:32,000
raw performance isn't the whole story the core i9 has more than double the pci

32
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:36,800
express lanes quad channel memory support blah blah blah

33
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:41,040
and those features don't come cheap so it makes sense that you'd be paying a

34
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:46,400
premium for both the CPU and the accompanying motherboard and because the

35
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,239
core i9 demands a better cooling solution

36
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:54,080
surprise you get to buy one of those too they even require more thermal compound

37
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:58,239
thanks to their larger physical size i mean

38
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,920
the pentium comes with a cooler and compound that's more than adequate for

39
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:07,280
it right out of the box so then with all these differences how

40
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:11,599
can we possibly compare the two easy we'll just dump a bunch of

41
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,440
benchmarks into excel like we always do and wait really

42
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,440
is that all i'm paying these guys for oh no there's more here actually oh cool

43
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:25,040
okay so while we'll be running the two chips on otherwise identical hardware we

44
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,400
are also going to run a second set of

45
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,120
tests on the 7820x with it configured

46
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:36,080
with only two cores enabled and clocked like a g4560

47
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:40,560
so in the past this method of cutting down higher-end chips has generated

48
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,760
pretty accurate simulations of lower-end ones but today the new cache setup and

49
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:50,799
support for avx-512 might make things a little more interesting

50
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:56,000
our gaming results well okay these ones aren't going to shock anybody our

51
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:59,760
simulated 4560 does slightly better than

52
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,879
the real thing and the stock 7820x blows

53
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,319
the doors off of both in every test

54
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,519
but while that difference is measurable our

55
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:13,519
arch nemesis doctor point of diminishing returns

56
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:19,040
makes a bold appearance here interestingly our simulated chip

57
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,479
actually fell slightly but measurably

58
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:25,040
short of the real one at 4k in cs go and

59
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:29,440
in 3dmark which makes us wonder where else we might see Intel's new caching

60
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:34,240
mechanism perform worse bottom line here if you thought that

61
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:38,960
spending 10 times was gonna net you 10 times the performance in gaming

62
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,560
uh i believe as the gamers say get wrecked

63
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:48,400
productivity though was really interesting in applications like y

64
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,639
cruncher that support avx 512 we saw a

65
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:54,080
massive difference with the simulated g4560

66
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:59,199
while in more traditional tasks like cinebench CPU mark and real bench the

67
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:04,080
cash related performance boost is less exciting with real benches and coding

68
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:08,000
tests revealing another situation where it may actually cause a slight

69
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:12,000
performance regression it's not over for the simulated chip

70
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:18,400
though because our real world blender test also sees a huge performance boost

71
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:24,720
over the real 4560. in productivity applications the lack of

72
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:28,960
avx and course hurts our value chip big

73
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:32,320
time the 7820x still doesn't give you 10

74
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,120
times the performance for its price

75
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,680
but given that many of these workloads are

76
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:42,560
business oriented ones time is money and even a 2x performance

77
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:47,280
improvement or a more modest one could allow it to pay for itself over time so

78
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,800
your mileage may vary power consumption is probably not going

79
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:54,800
to surprise anybody so we'll skim through that but what might is the

80
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,880
performance scaling using some simple math helpfully

81
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:04,479
provided by alex we crunched the numbers and calculated a very theoretical

82
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:10,080
ballpark for how pricing would look if it scaled linearly with performance

83
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:14,479
so in that world from the perspective of the core i9 7820x

84
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:20,720
the performance averaged price of the pentium would actually be roughly five

85
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:23,280
times as expensive as it is today

86
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:28,960
then looking at it the other way around the price of the core i9 7820x

87
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,800
would work out to about a quarter of its current msrp of

88
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:37,600
600. so what did we learn today well first

89
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:41,600
and foremost that CPU pricing at least for team blue is more complicated than

90
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:46,319
just how does it benchmark on a test bench

91
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:50,319
and uh then uh you know what price tag should we slap on it and more

92
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:56,000
importantly perhaps we've also confirmed that skylake x's new cache

93
00:06:53,120 --> 00:07:01,680
generally helps more than it hinders though it can hinder situationally

94
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:06,639
there are a hundred reasons for wanting multiple computers at your desk maybe

95
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:10,560
you're a mac person primarily but you need a non-virtualized Windows

96
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:16,800
environment for some reason synergy solves the problem of having to

97
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:20,160
have two keyboards and two mice for two

98
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,759
or more separate computers you can share

99
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:27,120
one set of peripherals so you'll no longer get confused and the whole thing

100
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:30,479
is seamless you just drag the mouse from one screen to another we're talking pc

101
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:36,160
mac and even Linux support they offer a

102
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:40,240
basic and pro option for synergy with a one-time payment and features include

103
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:44,400
advanced stuff like clipboard sharing between computers dragging and dropping

104
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:50,240
files between computers the ability to set up hotkeys and more so use our link
