Okay, so if you guys think it's crazy that Razer showed up with both a like
mockup of the Razer Toaster and an
actual working Razer toaster, if you guys think
that's crazy, you are not even ready for
what's going on in here. This box right
here is being seen here at LTX
2017 for the first time. That label on the top says prototype inside. To those
of you wondering, no, it is not Project Valerie. It is not AMD Epic,
but it is from AMD. You guys, are you
guys ready?
Inside this box being unveiled for the first time
AMD RX Vega.
Inside this box is not only an AMD RX
Vega, but a completely
oneof-kind unboxing experience that will
only be available in very very limited
quantities because to produce it required designers from the Netherlands,
UK, Canada, and the US and the cost of
building it is extraordinarily
high. So to see one of these in person
is going to be a very very unusual
experience. This is this is
crazy. The sleeve of Horx Vega.
Hey, that's mine. I want to do it.
Okay. Okay. The cardboard flap of RX
Vega.
bring pixels to life. Oh yeah, later.
Okay, here we go. Whoa.
Now, just hold on a minute here. Oh, do I have to leave it there? Okay, so we're
going to plug it in. Can I pick it up? Can I hold it? Of course. So,
this is a prototype device that AMD is
calling the holo cube.
Hol. And it's some kind of holographic
display that actually syncs with Radeon
software to project certain images if
there's like a driver update or like a
new game you want to play or if your DVR capture is on.
But is it RGB? No, it is AMD red because it is all
about team red.
team.
Wow. I was looking at it from the wrong
side. So, you guys were actually seeing it. So, inside the cube is another cube.
It's a graphic. Uh we actually have a video that we can play just in case you
can't see it. We're going to we're going to leave this out so you guys can see it in person, but I'm going to go ahead and
fire that up. So, from the front there's
just this graphic, this uh this rotating cube that seems to be hovering
completely in midair.
Unbelievable. Has everyone kind of seen it? Can you see it moving around in
there? How about you guys in the front there?
Pretty cool, eh? But of course, that's
not the main announcement today.
The main announcement is the unboxing of the card itself. So, first up, we've got
uh
DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
We actually really could have used one of these last night.
and Emanuel.
And finally, being seen for the first
time here today, the final shroud design
of RX Vega.
There it is. So, this is the limited
edition of RX Vega. It's got a brushed
aluminum finish. This is a completely
new architecture for AMD. Everything
about it was built from the ground up. It's got a new geometry and pixel
engine. It's got hardware accelerated async compute if you guys are into
DirectX12 and you're into Vulcan. And it
features 8 gigs of HBM2 memory. So, for
a consumer card right now to get HBM2 memory, you got to buy a $9,000 graphics
card. And I can't tell you what the price of this is going to be, but I can
tell you it's going to be a lot less than that.
Also, it will have better support for free sync than ever before. And that's
supposed to be kind of a kind of a hint because AMD will be officially
announcing many many more details about
RX Vega tomorrow at 7:30 Pacific. 7:30
p.m. Pacific. So stay tuned for that. I
promised that this would be unbelievable
and that you guys would be absolutely blown away.
And we're going to start getting the uh phase two going here because that wasn't
it.
It's getting real now because Vega would have been a big deal and Vega
is a big deal. But inside this box is a
DisplayPort cable
and a big fat power cable.
and an Alienware Area 51
gaming desktop running a 16 core 32
thread Threadripper.
And what we're going to do here today is
we're going to show you Doom running on
RX Vega and Threadripper for the first
time and
and a few lucky audience members will
game on it.
Now we got to hook it up. So, everyone keep that level of excitement going for
like two minutes. Okay, two minutes. There's still more. Yeah, let's get it
going. AMD,
you guys are about to witness some live and in person Linus Tech Tips
troubleshooting. So, I'm just going to perform a quick memory swap here.
Okay. Okay. I'm going to try the other RAM. Still beeping. Oh, man. I'm
freaking out here, you guys. It's okay. I'm fine. Right now everything is fine.
Putting other memory back in.
You guys are going to cut all that out, right?
Okay. Okay. We got this. The next thing I get to unveil today,
lightheaded is everybody's favorite
benchmark when they first fire up their
computer with a new processor.
Windows, task manager,
16 cores, 32 threads. Threads. Yes, I
got special permission from Alienware to be the first person to run Cinebench in
public on Threadripper.
Okay, I'm actually going to need an assistant to come in and click it for me
cuz I want to hold this up so everyone
can see it. Uh,
actually, maybe someone who's already on the stage. over here. Okay. Yeah. Can
you click run? Click run. 16 threads.
16 cores. CPU. CPU. CPU. Yeah. 16 cores.
32 threads. That's how fast it goes.
Look at it fly. It might already be done.
It's done.
score. 2866.
Okay. This is exhausting.
I think I'm allowed to tell you base clock. Well, it's running at like 2.6
right now, but it's it's it's it's shifting a lot. There will be more
details on Threadripper. I need Steam to launch. I really need it to launch
right now.
We're just going to reboot it. We're We're going to show off the speedy
reboot times of the Area 51.
You better not update. So, I'm going to use this opportunity.
Have some water, dude. You're exhausted. Have some water. I'm dying. I'm going to
use this opportunity.
to announce one more thing. AMD is giving away to two lucky
people, one here and one
participating at the link in the video description
online. They are giving away two RX Vega
graphics cards.
In the meantime, huge shout out to AMD
and Alienware for making this unveiling
possible. Thank
you. Huge shout out to you guys for
being here and a huge shout out again to Fresh Books, the cloud accounting
software for small business owners and freelancers.
All right, link in the video description. Get your free trial.
There's going to be a code LTX 2017, I
think, or something. LTX. Yeah, whatever. Colton's not screaming, so
maybe that's it. Either way, it'll be linked down there. Thanks for watching,
you guys, and thanks for being here, you guys. I will see you guys out on the show floor.
God. Yes.
