1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:09,960
this is the fastest CPU on the planet it costs

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:12,639
$8,000 has 64 cores and18 threads 128

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:18,400
Lanes of PCI Express Gen 4 and runs on AMD's latest 7 nanm Zen 3 architecture

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:26,000
that's the same one powering their top-of-the-line 5000 series ryzen gaming

5
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:28,000
CPUs its code name is epic Milan and we

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:35,920
have two of them thanks to our buddy Wendell over at level one let's take

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,920
them for a spin cuz holy they ever

8
00:00:41,879 --> 00:00:50,360
fast hey this is the topof the line 's and G's the Epic 7763 that I'm holding

9
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:57,280
in my hand yeah it may only run at a mere 2.45 GHz base 3.5 gahz boost but

10
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:01,680
don't let that fool you this ain't no Civic okay this is the Hummer with the

11
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,159
Swap all right these things are huge I can't get

12
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:10,520
over it pretty big why do they have to make them so big it's not a measuring

13
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:14,720
contest just never gets old you know I think the only way to get a bigger one

14
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:18,600
is to buy one on LTT Store.com oh yeah by the way we're going to have epic

15
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:24,000
Threadripper shaped ones coming soon probably in a few months now of course

16
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:30,320
Yoda would happily remind all of us that size not important performance is what

17
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:35,960
matters and when it comes to Performance this is pretty much the finest display

18
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:40,520
of kicking someone while they're down that I think I have ever seen and I

19
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:44,960
don't even feel bad here's the thing Intel's latest and greatest 10 nmet ice

20
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:49,479
Lake xeons they've got some platform advantages particularly when they're

21
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:55,479
paired with Intel's optain memory but for purely CPU bound applications I mean

22
00:01:52,920 --> 00:02:01,039
they're not even competitive with AMD's last generation epic RAM chips price for

23
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:08,200
price let alone the the new ones cuz here's the thing AMD comes in with more

24
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:11,200
cores more gigahertz more cash and

25
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:14,280
literally double the PCI Express Lanes

26
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,680
per socket yet AMD still prices their

27
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:21,560
top dog cheaper than Intel's Top Dog and you might think well at $8,000 a chip

28
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:27,319
200 bucks that's a that's a rounding error right but if you're buying a, of

29
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,080
them at a time like Intel thinks you are

30
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:33,840
sorry Intel not good enough for you I guess that works out to a qu million

31
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,920
dollar not to mention that if you're an Enterprise or a data center that's

32
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:42,319
upgrading your systems from say last gen on Intel you're going to need a whole

33
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:46,599
new motherboard which for servers generally means an entirely new system

34
00:02:44,519 --> 00:02:50,080
complete with financing and warranty how about the warranty like if something

35
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:56,440
goes wrong either with the hardware or software AMD by contrast allows you to

36
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,920
Simply swap out the CPU update your BIOS

37
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:02,480
preferably in the other order and you're good to go they've actually been using

38
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,599
the exact same socket for their server platforms ever since the original epic

39
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:12,560
launched back in 2017 and this intercompatibility is fantastic you know

40
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:14,319
how I know because this is the exact

41
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,159
same motherboard that we used to build our PC Mac Pro killer with our last gen

42
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:23,280
epic something to note before we go any further is that server components are

43
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:29,280
generally designed to be run in an extremely high airflow environment so

44
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:35,400
this cooling if that doesn't look suitable for a nearly 300 W CPU that's

45
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,319
cuz it's not we need to get need to get a fan on there let's just throw m.2 in

46
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:44,920
here this is by the way the greatest thing ever this little toolless m.2

47
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:47,640
retention mechanism absolutely love it

48
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:52,560
they should all have that this supreme x390 is so hilarious it's so big we've

49
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:57,560
never even tried to integrate it into an actual build it's test bench use only

50
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:02,599
now you might notice that I'm installing it in one of the bottom PCI Express l

51
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:08,400
normally I would say don't do that but epic has so many PCI Express Lanes that

52
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:14,280
every one of these 16x slots all the M do2s all of it is just running full fat

53
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:18,199
PCIe Gen 4 with all the lanes so just doesn't matter okay okay I shouldn't

54
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:23,080
quite say it doesn't matter there are situations where the lanes might need to

55
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:28,720
be reallocated and there the different chiplets and where they're attached to

56
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:34,520
the io die and all that but mostly it's

57
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:37,680
fine W there it goes 128 threads guys

58
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:42,199
this is C bench R23 this isn't the like

59
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:45,240
weak easy one now the reason that it was

60
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:47,360
so easy TM for AMD to maintain

61
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:53,680
compatibility across Generations is that under the hood the layout of their Milan

62
00:04:50,039 --> 00:04:56,280
CPUs is nearly identical to their older

63
00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:01,759
Rome predecessors but that's not to say that AMD didn't change anything like

64
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,759
other zen3 CPUs each of the eight

65
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:10,240
chiplets here which each contains eight course gets a full 32 Megs of cash that

66
00:05:07,479 --> 00:05:15,199
is completely accessible to all eight of the cores rather than being split into

67
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:20,479
16 Megs and 16 Megs that means more efficient use of resources and lower

68
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:25,639
latency they've also increased the speed of the infinity fabric links within the

69
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,560
CPU and they've made a ton of other under thee Hood architectural changes

70
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:34,919
that have allowed AMD to hit a surprising 19% average IPC uplift that

71
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:41,360
means that clock for clock this thing is almost 20% faster oh and they upped the

72
00:05:38,919 --> 00:05:48,520
maximum TDP for many of their chips including the 7763 to allow up to 280

73
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:53,400
watts per socket I mean that is how you get stuff like this happening look where

74
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:59,759
it sits relative to anything else in the data base

75
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:05,919
61,000 what so while the CPU is is running a heavy Benchmark like this it's

76
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:08,520
self-reporting a peak of around 277 278

77
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:12,479
watts of power what that means is that according to wendle from level one Tex

78
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:17,039
this Tian board we have here is actually a bit on the conservative side for power

79
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:20,599
delivery the Daytona reference chassis that we've got back here can actually do

80
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:27,759
closer to 285 290 watts per socket with some power

81
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:33,199
tweaks which actually sounds a lot like AMD has some over clocking Headroom here

82
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,880
you can even tweak some IO settings like disabling PCI Express Gen 4 or lowering

83
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:41,440
your memory speeds to give a bit more of the CPU's power budget to the course

84
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:46,720
themselves potentially improving performance but then again slowing down

85
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:50,160
your PCI Express Lanes or lowering your memory bandwidth can also hurt

86
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:55,599
performance in other ways so it's going to depend on your application either way

87
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,400
I cannot freaking wait to see what zen3

88
00:06:55,599 --> 00:07:01,479
based Threadripper is going to be like especially with the core clocks and the

89
00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:04,599
power limits unlocked as we assume they'll be I suspect we're going to need

90
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,080
some new motherboards with new power delivery for

91
00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:14,280
those now let's have some more fun last time around with our Rome based 64 core

92
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:19,280
epic blender was only able to use half of the cores per instance so we ran it

93
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:24,039
twice with both of them running at the same time finishing in around a minute

94
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,199
and 14 seconds this time around we are

95
00:07:24,039 --> 00:07:30,879
having no trouble utilizing the entire CPU and you can see I mean just look at

96
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:36,400
this thing it is absolutely crushing this Benchmark and

97
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:43,360
the craziest part is check out these boost clocks we are seeing an excess of

98
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:45,360
2.8 GHz even as high as 3.1 GHz on some

99
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:49,199
of these cores as it's running through this blender

100
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:55,199
render and what's interesting is our temps are so well under control the

101
00:07:51,919 --> 00:07:56,520
maximum we've seen so far after about 10

102
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:03,080
minutes of cin bench running continuously and blender is around 70°

103
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:07,000
super reasonable the fans aren't even ramping up it's almost like having a

104
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:11,400
gigantic CPU with the cores all spread out helps to get rid of the heat almost

105
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,159
if you can't wait for the next Threadripper and you decided you're crazy enough to use this as a workstation

106
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:22,080
check this out I'm running this at half quality in the preview here this is an

107
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,919
8K timeline with multiple 8K Clips

108
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:29,639
obviously there's a bunch of lumry color being applied to it look how smooth that

109
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:35,200
is it's butter smooth can we make it all the way to full man that scrubbing is

110
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:39,599
still extremely responsive naturally our next order of

111
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:46,279
business is to play video games on it we got a Apex Legends running at a cool 144

112
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:51,240
FPS average that sounds not too bad maxed out at 4K I don't have any

113
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:54,959
ammo that's okay it's not about being good at the game it's about having a

114
00:08:52,640 --> 00:09:01,200
good computer to run the game right so we got f12020 going here and what I did

115
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,360
is I reset the hardware info clock speed

116
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,320
logger so I want to see just how high these cores will get this is a game that

117
00:09:04,839 --> 00:09:14,240
unlike Apex Legends can actually make use of heavily heavily multicore CPUs so

118
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:19,240
we're going to go ahead and uh okay there we go that's more like it

119
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:26,320
now we're oh yeah we're driving now we're driving 1% lows at around 150 FPS

120
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:34,079
according to frame view over here so can you game on an epic server yes you you

121
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:36,160
can ah I need to break I'm broken once

122
00:09:34,079 --> 00:09:41,920
again the point is not how good I am at the game the point is this thing is sick

123
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:45,800
oh I crashed so max we managed to hit

124
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:48,480
3.5 GHz in games and yes of course we're

125
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:54,160
going to play Crisis 3 it is kind of amazing how good this game still looks

126
00:09:51,360 --> 00:10:01,079
is it not freaking Crisis 3 even your hand model like looks really good yep

127
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:04,000
it's amazing how well this game has aged

128
00:10:01,079 --> 00:10:09,600
it's running at about 60 FPS at 4K you know this is a really quiet server MH

129
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,079
I'm impressed uh you know I think it

130
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:20,000
might be a little misleading all right here it goes 264

131
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:23,839
core epics cin bench R23 sorry sorry

132
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:27,360
Riley it's like 120 watts of fans yeah

133
00:10:23,839 --> 00:10:31,959
yeah it's really fast though what the

134
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:33,560
hell holy crap c b oh okay let's are you

135
00:10:31,959 --> 00:10:38,680
just going to tease me like that it ran in 12 seconds I want to see task manager

136
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:42,279
takes longer to queue up the test than it takes to run the test hold on I'm not

137
00:10:41,079 --> 00:10:47,399
even going to be able to get it up in time dang it

138
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:52,360
91,000 what that's weak it should be able to do like

139
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:54,240
110 really yeah oh all right new attempt

140
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,240
Wendell sent us over a couple tuning parameters here we

141
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:03,839
go 98 623 that's not quite the 100K plus

142
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:08,279
that Wendell managed to get on his own with more tinkering and more tuning but

143
00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:12,560
I think it goes to show a couple of things number one is these things are so

144
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:16,959
fast they can tear through anything not made for gaming who cares they're going

145
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,839
to game pretty good and number two is that once you get to this level of

146
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:24,880
Hardware it's not just plug andplay ladies and gentlemen you actually have

147
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:31,560
to know what the freak you're doing can you imagine running like 16 quad core

148
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:35,760
virtualized gaming stations off of one of these like uh maybe in our land

149
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:39,240
Center get subscribed to make sure you don't miss that and while you're down

150
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:43,959
there let us know if you have any other cool ideas for a project we could use

151
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:49,200
one of these bad boys for just like I'm going to let you know what you could use

152
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:52,079
our sponsor for ting mobile sponsored

153
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:56,480
