WEBVTT

00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:11.200
Okay, so if you guys think it's crazy that Razer showed up with both a like

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:12.200
mockup of the Razer Toaster and an

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:20.080
actual working Razer toaster, if you guys think

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:23.119
that's crazy, you are not even ready for

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:27.640
what's going on in here. This box right

00:00:23.119 --> 00:00:30.560
here is being seen here at LTX

00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:35.280
2017 for the first time. That label on the top says prototype inside. To those

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:42.800
of you wondering, no, it is not Project Valerie. It is not AMD Epic,

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:45.960
but it is from AMD. You guys, are you

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:45.960
guys ready?

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:58.360
Inside this box being unveiled for the first time

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.600
AMD RX Vega.

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:17.240
Inside this box is not only an AMD RX

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:20.799
Vega, but a completely

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:25.280
oneof-kind unboxing experience that will

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:27.920
only be available in very very limited

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:36.400
quantities because to produce it required designers from the Netherlands,

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:39.640
UK, Canada, and the US and the cost of

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:43.600
building it is extraordinarily

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:47.240
high. So to see one of these in person

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:50.960
is going to be a very very unusual

00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:50.960
experience. This is this is

00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:59.600
crazy. The sleeve of Horx Vega.

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:03.600
Hey, that's mine. I want to do it.

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:04.900
Okay. Okay. The cardboard flap of RX

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:07.119
Vega.

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:15.160
bring pixels to life. Oh yeah, later.

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.160
Okay, here we go. Whoa.

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:21.599
Now, just hold on a minute here. Oh, do I have to leave it there? Okay, so we're

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:31.080
going to plug it in. Can I pick it up? Can I hold it? Of course. So,

00:02:25.239 --> 00:02:35.040
this is a prototype device that AMD is

00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:39.160
calling the holo cube.

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:43.640
Hol. And it's some kind of holographic

00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:46.800
display that actually syncs with Radeon

00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:49.840
software to project certain images if

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.640
there's like a driver update or like a

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:56.800
new game you want to play or if your DVR capture is on.

00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:02.540
But is it RGB? No, it is AMD red because it is all

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.370
about team red.

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.840
team.

00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:19.760
Wow. I was looking at it from the wrong

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:26.080
side. So, you guys were actually seeing it. So, inside the cube is another cube.

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.720
It's a graphic. Uh we actually have a video that we can play just in case you

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:35.519
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

00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:38.400
fire that up. So, from the front there's

00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:42.599
just this graphic, this uh this rotating cube that seems to be hovering

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:46.560
completely in midair.

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:50.239
Unbelievable. Has everyone kind of seen it? Can you see it moving around in

00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:53.239
there? How about you guys in the front there?

00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:02.640
Pretty cool, eh? But of course, that's

00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:05.599
not the main announcement today.

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:12.280
The main announcement is the unboxing of the card itself. So, first up, we've got

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.280
uh

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:16.920
DisplayPort to DVI adapter.

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.720
DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:31.570
We actually really could have used one of these last night.

00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:36.479
and Emanuel.

00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:43.520
And finally, being seen for the first

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:47.400
time here today, the final shroud design

00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:47.400
of RX Vega.

00:04:53.919 --> 00:05:01.040
There it is. So, this is the limited

00:04:56.919 --> 00:05:04.080
edition of RX Vega. It's got a brushed

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:07.199
aluminum finish. This is a completely

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:09.680
new architecture for AMD. Everything

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:14.160
about it was built from the ground up. It's got a new geometry and pixel

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:19.120
engine. It's got hardware accelerated async compute if you guys are into

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:24.560
DirectX12 and you're into Vulcan. And it

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:27.440
features 8 gigs of HBM2 memory. So, for

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:31.919
a consumer card right now to get HBM2 memory, you got to buy a $9,000 graphics

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:35.600
card. And I can't tell you what the price of this is going to be, but I can

00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:40.560
tell you it's going to be a lot less than that.

00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:46.120
Also, it will have better support for free sync than ever before. And that's

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:52.080
supposed to be kind of a kind of a hint because AMD will be officially

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:56.880
announcing many many more details about

00:05:52.080 --> 00:06:00.919
RX Vega tomorrow at 7:30 Pacific. 7:30

00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:04.720
p.m. Pacific. So stay tuned for that. I

00:06:00.919 --> 00:06:07.199
promised that this would be unbelievable

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:11.680
and that you guys would be absolutely blown away.

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:16.630
And we're going to start getting the uh phase two going here because that wasn't

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.880
it.

00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:28.400
It's getting real now because Vega would have been a big deal and Vega

00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:32.360
is a big deal. But inside this box is a

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:32.360
DisplayPort cable

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:40.360
and a big fat power cable.

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:48.840
and an Alienware Area 51

00:06:51.440 --> 00:07:00.759
gaming desktop running a 16 core 32

00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.759
thread Threadripper.

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:09.759
And what we're going to do here today is

00:07:05.919 --> 00:07:13.520
we're going to show you Doom running on

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:15.599
RX Vega and Threadripper for the first

00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:21.280
time and

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:24.170
and a few lucky audience members will

00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:26.639
game on it.

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:34.800
Now we got to hook it up. So, everyone keep that level of excitement going for

00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:39.319
like two minutes. Okay, two minutes. There's still more. Yeah, let's get it

00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:39.319
going. AMD,

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:47.120
you guys are about to witness some live and in person Linus Tech Tips

00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:51.680
troubleshooting. So, I'm just going to perform a quick memory swap here.

00:07:50.479 --> 00:07:57.199
Okay. Okay. I'm going to try the other RAM. Still beeping. Oh, man. I'm

00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:03.380
freaking out here, you guys. It's okay. I'm fine. Right now everything is fine.

00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:08.089
Putting other memory back in.

00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.520
You guys are going to cut all that out, right?

00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:22.599
Okay. Okay. We got this. The next thing I get to unveil today,

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:30.639
lightheaded is everybody's favorite

00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:34.479
benchmark when they first fire up their

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:39.080
computer with a new processor.

00:08:34.479 --> 00:08:39.080
Windows, task manager,

00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:49.040
16 cores, 32 threads. Threads. Yes, I

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:56.560
got special permission from Alienware to be the first person to run Cinebench in

00:08:52.279 --> 00:09:00.080
public on Threadripper.

00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:07.120
Okay, I'm actually going to need an assistant to come in and click it for me

00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:09.120
cuz I want to hold this up so everyone

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.880
can see it. Uh,

00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:19.920
actually, maybe someone who's already on the stage. over here. Okay. Yeah. Can

00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:24.480
you click run? Click run. 16 threads.

00:09:19.920 --> 00:09:27.279
16 cores. CPU. CPU. CPU. Yeah. 16 cores.

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:33.920
32 threads. That's how fast it goes.

00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:42.920
Look at it fly. It might already be done.

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.920
It's done.

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:52.240
score. 2866.

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:58.320
Okay. This is exhausting.

00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:02.959
I think I'm allowed to tell you base clock. Well, it's running at like 2.6

00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:07.279
right now, but it's it's it's it's shifting a lot. There will be more

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:12.320
details on Threadripper. I need Steam to launch. I really need it to launch

00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:14.160
right now.

00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:19.360
We're just going to reboot it. We're We're going to show off the speedy

00:10:15.920 --> 00:10:21.920
reboot times of the Area 51.

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:25.760
You better not update. So, I'm going to use this opportunity.

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:31.480
Have some water, dude. You're exhausted. Have some water. I'm dying. I'm going to

00:10:27.839 --> 00:10:31.480
use this opportunity.

00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:50.920
to announce one more thing. AMD is giving away to two lucky

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:53.120
people, one here and one

00:10:50.920 --> 00:10:57.920
participating at the link in the video description

00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:01.320
online. They are giving away two RX Vega

00:10:57.920 --> 00:11:01.320
graphics cards.

00:11:03.760 --> 00:11:11.480
In the meantime, huge shout out to AMD

00:11:06.959 --> 00:11:14.720

All right, link in the video description. Get your free trial.

00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:38.800
There's going to be a code LTX 2017, I

00:11:35.839 --> 00:11:42.560
think, or something. LTX. Yeah, whatever. Colton's not screaming, so

00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:46.720
maybe that's it. Either way, it'll be linked down there. Thanks for watching,

00:11:45.040 --> 00:11:51.240
you guys, and thanks for being here, you guys. I will see you guys out on the show floor.

00:11:54.959 --> 00:11:57.839
God. Yes.
