WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.359
oh i've got bad news guys

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:09.840
AMD just announced their plans for socket am5 and there's no other way to

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:14.240
put this it represents such a major shift from the incremental generational

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:19.119
improvement paradigm that we've enjoyed so much since the first quad-core CPU

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.840
showed up in 2007 that i'm afraid we as consumers are reaching the point where

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:28.400
winning this hard for so long is becoming unbearable we're back on an

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:34.480
upgrade treadmill where a CPU from five years ago even two or three years ago is

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:38.640
now at a major disadvantage it's tough to keep up

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

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

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:13.280
AMD always saves the biggest news for last but we're going to front load it

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:16.479
AMD's ryzen 7000 and am5 platform look

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:19.600
very promising Intel's 12th gen core did

00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:22.159
beat AMD to the punch with ddr5 and pci

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:27.360
express gen 5 support but AMD is clapping back with more available PCIe

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:31.439
lanes off the CPU and what appears to be a more mature ddr5 memory controller

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.159
that is if the test notes are to be believed not content with only that AMD

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

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:45.360
the presentation they showed off a pre-production 16 core ryzen 7000 CPU

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:51.520
blazing along at 5.5 gigahertz in ghostwire tokyo which

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.399
matches the core i9 12900 ks's maximum

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:59.920
boost clock that alone is a massive improvement over AMD's current flagship

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:02.079
the 5950x which manages 4.9 gigahertz

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

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

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.520
level improvements too like ai acceleration instructions though exactly

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

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:25.120
part to doubling the level two cache on each core to one megabyte AMD is

00:02:22.239 --> 00:02:29.520
claiming a 15 or greater per thread performance improvement in cinebench r23

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:34.000
so if they can get multi-core clocks to stay high to match those single core

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:39.040
clocks Intel may have to go completely back to the drawing board thankfully

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:42.720
AMD's new lga-based socket am5 supports

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:44.640
cpus with tdps of up to 170 watts so

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:49.440
along with the switch to what AMD hints is an optimized version of tsmc's n5p

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.519
process node that shouldn't be an unreasonable goal especially with a good

00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:57.840
cooler i mean especially since there's coolers out there that are rated to

00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:01.280
handle Intel's 12900k which is rated for

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:03.440
241 watts and from our testing regularly

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:09.120
blows right past that figure thanks to his extra power draw the 12-900k does

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.040
manage to beat the 5950x in our testing

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:17.760
during short renders like the kind that AMD showed on stage but the best we've

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.319
seen is a 15 lead the other way for AMD

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

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.200
7000 chip finishing 31 faster than the

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.040
core i9 12 900k this is big that was enough short test too

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:37.360
right Anthony interestingly AMD didn't mention

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:42.319
anything about 3d v cache their method for adding well three-dimensional

00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:46.159
vertical cache for ryzen 7000 to expand the level 3 cache already on the die

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:51.599
what that means is much like with ryzen 5000 we could see separate standard and

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:55.760
3dv cache versions of these chips in the future which could potentially improve

00:03:53.519 --> 00:04:00.080
performance even further they could also just all have it for all we know like

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:04.560
they all have the new six nanometer i o die complete with rd and a2 integrated

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.680
graphics integrated graphics were one of Intel's last major differentiators prior

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:13.680
to their e-core p core layout change because previously this required you to

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:19.120
give up some cache and pci express bandwidth on ryzen apus

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:21.759
well now all desktop ryzen cpus will

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:26.400
have integrated graphics just like Intel can we get rid of the term apu now then

00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:30.479
great AMD didn't comment on just how many

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:34.880
compute units would be included but they did say that am5 motherboards could come

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

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

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:54.000
20 gigabit per second usb ports by contrast Intel's top-end z690 chipset

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

00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:03.759
that chipset's integration of wi-fi 6e is also no longer an Intel exclusive

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:08.639
advantage since the new am5 platform natively supports wi-fi 6e with

00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:12.800
bluetooth le 5.2 and all of these features are going to be available

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:16.000
across all of the new chipsets AMD's actually shaken things up a little bit

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:22.880
by the way with respect to their chipsets what we might have previously

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:25.840
thought of as x670 is now x670 extreme

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:30.160
and it extends pci express gen 5 to every available slot on the motherboard

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:35.440
for ridiculous overall system band something that Intel z690 doesn't do

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:40.960
vanilla x670 meanwhile limits gen 5 operation to just m.2 storage and the

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:46.320
graphics slot connecting those directly to the CPU like Intel does finally

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:51.919
there's b650 which defaults to pci express gen 4 for all but the storage

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:56.000
slot which does get the gen 5 treatment there's no word on future a series

00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:00.000
chipsets but at least according to AMD's presentation these are the only major

00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:03.600
differences between the chipsets that they did announce outside of power

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:08.560
delivery which is really more down to the motherboard manufacturers anyway so

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

00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:16.720
thank AMD for the direction that they have forced the industry to go since the

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:20.960
release of ryzen back in 2017. five short years was all it took to change a

00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:24.560
stagnant straight line performance improvement into a very prominent hockey

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:28.720
stick core counts instructions per clock cash

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:34.240
pci express bandwidth ddr memory bandwidth it has all skyrocketed in the

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:37.919
last five years and i have no reason to believe that Intel would have been

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:42.479
pushed to participate so quickly if they had been left unchallenged it's at a

00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:46.400
point now where those AMD and Intel cpus and platforms from five years ago

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:52.319
are really showing their age something that actually wasn't true of third gen

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:55.360
core even as recently as 2020 when it

00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.479
was five generations into its life cycle

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

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.599
if you thought that was all you haven't been paying attention to mobile either

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:11.120
because AMD has some exciting stuff in the pipeline there too first up is their

00:07:07.599 --> 00:07:13.599
mendocino apu an up to quad core zen 2

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:18.800
chip with integrated rdna 2 graphics that AMD is targeting the 399 to 6.99

00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:23.520
price point with and hopes to see greater than 10 hours of mixed usage

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:27.759
battery life from i mean gaming chromebooks anyone this should seriously

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:31.919
improve battery life at the lower end of the scale i mean remember zen 2 cores

00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:36.400
may not be the latest and the greatest but they're not that much slower than

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:41.360
zen 3 and paired with rd and a2 for GPU accelerated video decoding they should

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:43.120
handle most everyday tasks with ease a

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:47.919
lot of new laptop designs were announced too including a 17 millimeter thick

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:54.000
lenovo with a 100 watt hour battery capable of 100 FPS gaming an alienware

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:56.240
with a 4k 120hz display another more

00:07:54.000 --> 00:08:02.240
different lenovo with force sensitive wasd keys for precise movements

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:07.280
and Corsair's first ever in-house laptop complete with what they call a streaming

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:10.720
grade webcam and an integrated 10-key stream deck no word on whether this

00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:14.479
laptop also supports other streamer-friendly features like HDMI

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:17.759
input but get subscribed so you don't miss our upcoming coverage of it how

00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:23.360
could we pass through on something like that AMD says that the am5 platform will

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:27.440
release this fall with mendocino apus coming in quarter four oh right apus are

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:30.800
apparently still here darn it the other announcements were mostly stuff we've

00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:34.320
already seen although they did elaborate on their support for direct storage

00:08:32.560 --> 00:08:38.000
hinting that their implementation will be more than simply adding GPU

00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:40.959
accelerated decompression so that's another thing we'll have to wait and see

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:45.040
about with the industry in such an upward trajectory remember pci express

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.880
gen 4 was only around on the desktop for like two years before being replaced it

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

00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:59.040
computer knowing that it was going to be obsolete in just a few short years which

00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:03.839
sounds bad from an investment standpoint but what it means for the pc industry is

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:07.440
more performance better graphics faster video editing and honestly

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

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:14.959
shift i'm starting to feel like it's just the beginning the beginning of the

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:19.200
time to talk about our sponsor micro center is the place to shop for desktops

00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:23.839
laptops computer components monitor cvs networking equipment and whatever other

00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:29.279
tech itch you might have on yourself they offer competitive pricing and they

00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:32.640
have 25 locations around the us new

00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:35.200
customers can get 50 off AMD's ryzen 5

00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:40.480
5600 x or ryzen 50 800x cpus the offer is in-store only

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:44.880
no purchase necessary although you'll probably want to buy a CPU and you can

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:49.839
combine this coupon with their 20 off select motherboard and CPU bundles to

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

00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:06.320
thanks for watching guys go check out this older video now from when AMD first

00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:10.560
revealed the ryzen 5000 series that definitively snatched the gaming crown

00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:14.079
from Intel for the first time well for the first time since the early 2000s

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.880
anyway and really kicked off this battle of the giants
