1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:09,360 AMD brought us to the suite here at CES 2017 to prove once and for all that 2 00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:12,800 Ryzen is real. It is physical. It is tangible. You can touch it. Well, you 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,880 can't touch it. But but but I could touch it because I'm here if I as long 4 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:21,039 as I didn't care about like EST shocking it cuz these floors are carpeted. Not 5 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,800 only do they have the couple of systems that I'm going to show you here, but 6 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:31,760 they actually have systems from over a dozen of their partners. everyone from 7 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,600 PC case gear to 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,440 what the devil is this thing? Whatever it is, it's water cooled. It's red. It 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,200 looks actually pretty freaking bananas. And the logo is in Chinese, so I'm not 10 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:47,920 going to try too hard to pronounce that one. Anyway, let's get let's get back over here to the demos here. The systems 11 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:52,559 in front of me right now are the ones from the AMD live stream about a month 12 00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:58,239 ago. Not they they're not rebuilt the same spec. They are the exact systems 13 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,800 because that demo raised a lot of questions. Did AMD change this? Did they 14 00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:09,760 change that? What clock speeds is it running at? So, we have the answers to a 15 00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:12,799 significant chunk of that speculation 16 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,200 right now. So, this one right here is 17 00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:21,759 running an 8 core 16thread. They let me take the panels off. 8 core 16thread 18 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,280 Ryzen CPU on a validation level 19 00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:27,280 motherboard. So, this is like a reference design. You can't actually buy 20 00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:31,280 this board. They've got dual channel DDR4 memory in here. They're running a 21 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:36,560 Titan XP because AMD are a bunch of smart folks. They know that RX480 is not 22 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,799 going to prove that this CPU can run with the biggest, fastest GPU on the 23 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:48,159 market today. They had to put that in there. It is what it is. But the point 24 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:50,320 is, it's the real deal. Now, we have a 25 00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:57,600 look at this guy. AMD claimed they had a sixtyn00 K, a 26 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,759 thousand processor from Intel running on 27 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,920 legit actual production hardware. Oh, look, that's what it is. So, the demo 28 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:10,560 that we're looking at right now is Battlefield 1 running on a six-t with a 29 00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:13,360 Titan XP. Otherwise, the same hardware. Yes, the case is different. That does 30 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,520 not really affect the performance very much. If anything, that's an advantage for the Intel system because thanks to 31 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:24,480 GPU boost, that card will run a little faster if it's cooled better. And right 32 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,400 here we have it. Frame rate counter. Battlefield 1. In one of the early 33 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:33,519 training missions, they are running damn near identically, 34 00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:38,480 which is pretty unbelievable. And AMD hasn't even showed all their cards yet 35 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:45,280 because their chip is running at 3.4 4 GHz without their precision boost 36 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,519 dynamic clock speed adjustments going at 37 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,519 all yet. 38 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:56,319 Demo number two also highly controversial because people were 39 00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:00,879 looking at it going, "Well, how can this 40 00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:03,040 8 core versus that 8 core have so 41 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:08,879 significant a difference in the stream quality?" And the answer from AMD and I 42 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:12,720 I'm I mean I'm I'm standing here with me in the webcam after stream delay. I'm 43 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,360 standing here seeing the demo. The answer from them is that it's their 44 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:22,080 infinity fabric that allows the individual processing cores to talk to 45 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:28,080 each other more efficiently that allows the game to be played here and the 46 00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:32,560 stream to be processed on the CPU for 47 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:34,239 the broadcast much more efficiently. 48 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:41,200 Now, the obvious question is why aren't you just using quicks sync or NBNC uh 49 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,560 like a fixed function H.264 encoder and 50 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,879 there are two answers to that. So, number one uh you quicksync doesn't 51 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:52,319 exist on Intel's Broadwelli processors. They're they're high-end. Um, and number 52 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,720 two is that image quality can be with 53 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:58,959 the correct settings superior using CPU encoding. And they haven't toolled 54 00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:04,640 around with it in order to eliminate that advantage of CPU encoding. Again, 55 00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:09,840 very interesting. So, what does this mean for Ryzen? Uh there was a lot of 56 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,519 speculation before KBL Lake dropped that AMD was putting it up against Broadwell 57 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,759 E so that they had the advantage of comparing Ryzen to an Intel architecture 58 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,199 that was effectively two generations old. But now that we've seen what 59 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:25,440 Skylake brings to the table versus Broadwell, now that we've seen what KBL 60 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:30,479 brings to the table IPC wise versus Skylake, this is shaping up to be a 61 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:36,000 very, very interesting fight. and I can't wait for sometime Q120 2017 to get 62 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:40,320 my hands on a real actual retail chip and a real retail board. I know I'm not 63 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,680 the only one. So, thanks for checking out this video. Thanks to AMD for 64 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,759 bringing us down here to the show and being a big part of our CES 2017 65 00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:53,720 coverage.
