in 2014 Intel sent us the space capsule
0:04
and it was cool in 2015 they sent us the
0:08
master system which frankly wasn't that cool it is now 2016 and if Windows
0:14
release patterns are anything to go on
0:18
then this one
0:28
should be cool
0:39
okay so as usual i'm equipped with my
0:42
instructions oh come on the box itself
0:47
and this isn't usual
0:50
my smoke machine for added dramatic effect
0:55
i'm sure this stuff's good for you packing peanuts
1:00
the worst thing on earth okay so first
1:05
is a strap i get the symbolism here
1:08
Intel's thinking what shall we send a strapping young
1:12
gentleman like lina sebastian
1:17
okay there is
1:21
an led flashlight there is a gerber knife
1:27
nice i can complete the rest of my unboxing with this
1:32
that seems like dangerous it's the kind of thing that you know big liability
1:37
concerned companies like Intel usually avoid it's like sending knives
1:42
without 16 warnings over top of them telling you not to cut yourself with it
1:46
too hard and that's pretty much it
1:53
okay well space capsule to the rescue
2:00
ah yes okay so first up is the Intel classified
2:04
brief enclosed which the instructions assure me are actually okay to read
2:09
department of strategic services Intel corporation agent
2:13
you have been activated as of this morning
2:18
sorry i'm fine really
2:21
nature's top system builders have been recruited to create the most extreme
2:24
gaming rig imaginable so in a nutshell Intel is launching a
2:28
competition where 12 system builders will all compete to build the best
2:34
possible most amazing gaming system so you the public can vote for which of the
2:38
12 finished systems will get given away so seven of them and you can pay
2:43
attention to that using Intel rig challenge and you can cast
2:47
your vote by sharing your favorite team on twitter
2:50
with that hashtag voting can be done up to one time per day through september
2:55
3rd and each vote wins them a chance to win one of the final seven rigs that
3:00
will be raffled off at pax prime but
3:04
let's find out what else is in here
3:10
how lighter
3:14
that's a taser dude no it's a lighter
3:18
it is not a taser i mean i'm not going to touch it and
3:23
find out but jeez
3:28
look at that
3:32
that's probably a charger a yeti Intel extreme challenge thermos
3:39
ah now we've gotten to the bulk of the
3:43
action here so there's an all-access pass to pax prime
3:48
which apparently includes airfare hotel and conference
3:52
not too shabby there's tom clancy's rainbow six siege
3:58
please tell me it's a pc copy
4:02
yes it is ha good i thought there might have been
4:06
possible Intel completely lost their mind sending knives and dangerous
4:10
lighters and console copies of video games to people also inside is a pair of
4:14
rocket cave or cob i think they call them headphones an Intel xtreme rig
4:20
challenge t-shirt they assumed large
4:25
they were wrong
4:28
and then finally in place of what would normally be the
4:32
products that they've just announced like the new core i7 6950x 10 core
4:38
extreme edition processor with turbo boost max technology 3.0 an unlocked
4:42
core multiplier an integrated quad channel ddr4 2400 memory controller
4:47
unlike how they normally include that product in the box i get this handsome
4:52
piece of paper which i plan to put on my wall in my office other than that i
4:56
think we've got some manuals here yes manuals and documentation and this
5:02
very nice backpack so that's pretty much the gist of it
5:06
