1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,359
oh i've got bad news guys

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,840
AMD just announced their plans for socket am5 and there's no other way to

3
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:14,240
put this it represents such a major shift from the incremental generational

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:19,119
improvement paradigm that we've enjoyed so much since the first quad-core CPU

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:23,840
showed up in 2007 that i'm afraid we as consumers are reaching the point where

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:28,400
winning this hard for so long is becoming unbearable we're back on an

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:34,480
upgrade treadmill where a CPU from five years ago even two or three years ago is

8
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:38,640
now at a major disadvantage it's tough to keep up

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:42,239
and i wouldn't have it any other way and i'm gonna tell you why this announcement

10
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:47,680
is such a big deal right after i tell you about our sponsor zoho desk over 50

subscription with code zdesk50 at the link below

14
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:13,280
AMD always saves the biggest news for last but we're going to front load it

15
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:16,479
AMD's ryzen 7000 and am5 platform look

16
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:19,600
very promising Intel's 12th gen core did

17
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:22,159
beat AMD to the punch with ddr5 and pci

18
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:27,360
express gen 5 support but AMD is clapping back with more available PCIe

19
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:31,439
lanes off the CPU and what appears to be a more mature ddr5 memory controller

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,159
that is if the test notes are to be believed not content with only that AMD

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,920
has come after Intel in terms of core clocks too in their demo at the end of

22
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,360
the presentation they showed off a pre-production 16 core ryzen 7000 CPU

23
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:51,520
blazing along at 5.5 gigahertz in ghostwire tokyo which

24
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,399
matches the core i9 12900 ks's maximum

25
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:59,920
boost clock that alone is a massive improvement over AMD's current flagship

26
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:02,079
the 5950x which manages 4.9 gigahertz

27
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,799
max boost and remember guys this isn't a game it's not even single threaded AMD

28
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,800
could have called it a day at that point but no they're coming at Intel with core

29
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,520
level improvements too like ai acceleration instructions though exactly

30
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:20,239
what they are and what they do isn't yet known what is known is that thanks in

31
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:25,120
part to doubling the level two cache on each core to one megabyte AMD is

32
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:29,520
claiming a 15 or greater per thread performance improvement in cinebench r23

33
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:34,000
so if they can get multi-core clocks to stay high to match those single core

34
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:39,040
clocks Intel may have to go completely back to the drawing board thankfully

35
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,720
AMD's new lga-based socket am5 supports

36
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:44,640
cpus with tdps of up to 170 watts so

37
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:49,440
along with the switch to what AMD hints is an optimized version of tsmc's n5p

38
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,519
process node that shouldn't be an unreasonable goal especially with a good

39
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:57,840
cooler i mean especially since there's coolers out there that are rated to

40
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:01,280
handle Intel's 12900k which is rated for

41
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,440
241 watts and from our testing regularly

42
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:09,120
blows right past that figure thanks to his extra power draw the 12-900k does

43
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,040
manage to beat the 5950x in our testing

44
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:17,760
during short renders like the kind that AMD showed on stage but the best we've

45
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,319
seen is a 15 lead the other way for AMD

46
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:26,560
in a much longer test as for AMD's ryzen 7000 demo they showed the 16 core ryzen

47
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,200
7000 chip finishing 31 faster than the

48
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,040
core i9 12 900k this is big that was enough short test too

49
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,360
right Anthony interestingly AMD didn't mention

50
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:42,319
anything about 3d v cache their method for adding well three-dimensional

51
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:46,159
vertical cache for ryzen 7000 to expand the level 3 cache already on the die

52
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:51,599
what that means is much like with ryzen 5000 we could see separate standard and

53
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:55,760
3dv cache versions of these chips in the future which could potentially improve

54
00:03:53,519 --> 00:04:00,080
performance even further they could also just all have it for all we know like

55
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,560
they all have the new six nanometer i o die complete with rd and a2 integrated

56
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:09,680
graphics integrated graphics were one of Intel's last major differentiators prior

57
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:13,680
to their e-core p core layout change because previously this required you to

58
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:19,120
give up some cache and pci express bandwidth on ryzen apus

59
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,759
well now all desktop ryzen cpus will

60
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:26,400
have integrated graphics just like Intel can we get rid of the term apu now then

61
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,479
great AMD didn't comment on just how many

62
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:34,880
compute units would be included but they did say that am5 motherboards could come

63
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:41,680
with any combination of up to four HDMI 2.1 or displayport 2.0 outputs likely in

64
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:48,479
the form of usb type-c ports which AMD will support in force with up to 14

65
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:54,000
20 gigabit per second usb ports by contrast Intel's top-end z690 chipset

66
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:58,960
can only run four of those with the rest of them being 10 or 5 gigabit per second

67
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:03,759
that chipset's integration of wi-fi 6e is also no longer an Intel exclusive

68
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,639
advantage since the new am5 platform natively supports wi-fi 6e with

69
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:12,800
bluetooth le 5.2 and all of these features are going to be available

70
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:16,000
across all of the new chipsets AMD's actually shaken things up a little bit

71
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:22,880
by the way with respect to their chipsets what we might have previously

72
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:25,840
thought of as x670 is now x670 extreme

73
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:30,160
and it extends pci express gen 5 to every available slot on the motherboard

74
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:35,440
for ridiculous overall system band something that Intel z690 doesn't do

75
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:40,960
vanilla x670 meanwhile limits gen 5 operation to just m.2 storage and the

76
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:46,320
graphics slot connecting those directly to the CPU like Intel does finally

77
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:51,919
there's b650 which defaults to pci express gen 4 for all but the storage

78
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:56,000
slot which does get the gen 5 treatment there's no word on future a series

79
00:05:53,759 --> 00:06:00,000
chipsets but at least according to AMD's presentation these are the only major

80
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,600
differences between the chipsets that they did announce outside of power

81
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,560
delivery which is really more down to the motherboard manufacturers anyway so

82
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:11,919
if that's the case then hey thanks AMD and even if it's not i still have to

83
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:16,720
thank AMD for the direction that they have forced the industry to go since the

84
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,960
release of ryzen back in 2017. five short years was all it took to change a

85
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,560
stagnant straight line performance improvement into a very prominent hockey

86
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,720
stick core counts instructions per clock cash

87
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:34,240
pci express bandwidth ddr memory bandwidth it has all skyrocketed in the

88
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:37,919
last five years and i have no reason to believe that Intel would have been

89
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:42,479
pushed to participate so quickly if they had been left unchallenged it's at a

90
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:46,400
point now where those AMD and Intel cpus and platforms from five years ago

91
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:52,319
are really showing their age something that actually wasn't true of third gen

92
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:55,360
core even as recently as 2020 when it

93
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:56,479
was five generations into its life cycle

94
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:02,080
you don't need to worry about that with your water bottle from ltstore.com though that will never be obsolete now

95
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:05,599
if you thought that was all you haven't been paying attention to mobile either

96
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:11,120
because AMD has some exciting stuff in the pipeline there too first up is their

97
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:13,599
mendocino apu an up to quad core zen 2

98
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:18,800
chip with integrated rdna 2 graphics that AMD is targeting the 399 to 6.99

99
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:23,520
price point with and hopes to see greater than 10 hours of mixed usage

100
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,759
battery life from i mean gaming chromebooks anyone this should seriously

101
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,919
improve battery life at the lower end of the scale i mean remember zen 2 cores

102
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,400
may not be the latest and the greatest but they're not that much slower than

103
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:41,360
zen 3 and paired with rd and a2 for GPU accelerated video decoding they should

104
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,120
handle most everyday tasks with ease a

105
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:47,919
lot of new laptop designs were announced too including a 17 millimeter thick

106
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:54,000
lenovo with a 100 watt hour battery capable of 100 FPS gaming an alienware

107
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:56,240
with a 4k 120hz display another more

108
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:02,240
different lenovo with force sensitive wasd keys for precise movements

109
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:07,280
and Corsair's first ever in-house laptop complete with what they call a streaming

110
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,720
grade webcam and an integrated 10-key stream deck no word on whether this

111
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,479
laptop also supports other streamer-friendly features like HDMI

112
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,759
input but get subscribed so you don't miss our upcoming coverage of it how

113
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:23,360
could we pass through on something like that AMD says that the am5 platform will

114
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:27,440
release this fall with mendocino apus coming in quarter four oh right apus are

115
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,800
apparently still here darn it the other announcements were mostly stuff we've

116
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:34,320
already seen although they did elaborate on their support for direct storage

117
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:38,000
hinting that their implementation will be more than simply adding GPU

118
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,959
accelerated decompression so that's another thing we'll have to wait and see

119
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:45,040
about with the industry in such an upward trajectory remember pci express

120
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,880
gen 4 was only around on the desktop for like two years before being replaced it

121
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,279
really feels like the good old days doesn't it when you could go and buy a

122
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:59,040
computer knowing that it was going to be obsolete in just a few short years which

123
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:03,839
sounds bad from an investment standpoint but what it means for the pc industry is

124
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:07,440
more performance better graphics faster video editing and honestly

125
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,120
it's getting to the point where it's been so long with this new hockey stick

126
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:14,959
shift i'm starting to feel like it's just the beginning the beginning of the

127
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:19,200
time to talk about our sponsor micro center is the place to shop for desktops

128
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:23,839
laptops computer components monitor cvs networking equipment and whatever other

129
00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:29,279
tech itch you might have on yourself they offer competitive pricing and they

130
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:32,640
have 25 locations around the us new

131
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:35,200
customers can get 50 off AMD's ryzen 5

132
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:40,480

133
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:44,880
no purchase necessary although you'll probably want to buy a CPU and you can

134
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:49,839
combine this coupon with their 20 off select motherboard and CPU bundles to

135
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,720
save 70 in total that is like two days of gas money soon to be one day if

136
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,680
you're already a micro center customer though no sweat there's tons of motherboard and CPU bundles available

for you as well just check the link below to shop at micro center today

138
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:06,320
thanks for watching guys go check out this older video now from when AMD first

139
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:10,560
revealed the ryzen 5000 series that definitively snatched the gaming crown

140
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:14,079
from Intel for the first time well for the first time since the early 2000s

141
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,880
anyway and really kicked off this battle of the giants
