this video from ces 2018 is brought to you by synergy synergy 2 makes sharing a
0:04
single mouse and keyboard between multiple machines easier than ever check
0:07
it out at the link below okay guys
0:12
now this this is some crazy stuff i never thought
0:16
i would live to see the day Intel
0:19
and AMD technology in one box
0:24
one box made by Intel this is the hades
0:27
canyon nook it is their most powerful nook ever by a very significant margin
0:32
and it is running an 8th gen Intel core i7 processor
0:37
and Radeon rx vega mobile graphics
0:43
now they're going to have two different models that are going to be available in
0:46
bare bones units just like previous nooks so what you get is you get the CPU
0:51
the motherboard the case the power supply and
0:55
oh right graphics so you got to add your own RAM and your own operating system
0:59
but this thing is loaded for bear on the front you got
1:03
your power switch yeah sure whatever reset or whatever that is sd reader two
1:08
usb 3 ports HDMI out for vr yes my
1:12
friends vr capable what you've got another usb this one's a type c and
1:16
you've got a front audio jack then moving it around to the back i got one
1:20
that's not plugged in what this thing has six display outputs
1:25
two HDMI 2.0 two mini DisplayPort
1:29
two thunderbolts at the back there's your power in oh also another audio jack
1:34
thank you rear audio on small form factor really appreciate that that also
1:38
does optical out four more usb threes two lan ports
1:43
because you know whatever we're just gonna cover the whole thing in in io
1:46
anyway and oh check this out that right
1:50
there is validated for a hundred watts of
1:54
cooling because inside this thing on the high end model there's a 100 watt model
1:58
and there's a 65 watt model you're going to find a quad core hyper threaded
2:02
processor the top end one is actually overclockable and they've had it running
2:06
up to five gigahertz in the lab and it is cooled by this freaking thing so the
2:11
entire back half of the entire back is dedicated to heatsink with this sexy
2:17
vapor chamber that covers one of the most unique processors that we have ever
2:22
seen so right here on this side there's your quad-core Intel CPU
2:27
right here on this side there's your vega based yes my friends AMD's custom
2:32
silicone solution department the same guys that have worked with the game
2:35
console makers are actually providing a GPU to Intel and this is an hbm2 memory
2:41
module so all three of these are sitting on this really special layer that i
2:47
can't actually even show you guys because it's so small but it's called an emib and it allows high-speed
2:51
communication between all three of these components so effectively this is a full
2:56
pci express 8x gen 3 link between the
3:00
CPU and the GPU unbelievable and the whole thing is so
3:04
thin that you're not just going to see this in nooks you're also going to see this
3:08
integrated in laptops and Intel is expecting performance in the
3:12
neighborhood of better than a 1060 max q
3:17
out of this tightly integrated solution they're also estimating that compared to
3:21
Intel integrated graphics which we saw in the skull canyon nook last year that
3:25
we can see up to a 50 improvement in performance now it is a little bigger
3:31
and it is a little thicker it's 1.2 liters compared to 0.7 liters for last
3:35
generation but if you're looking for a tiny powerhouse of a machine i don't
3:39
think you're going to find anything close to this on the market
3:43
not that this is actually on the market yet so let's get to that it's going to
3:47
be coming sometime later in this year pricing is going to be 7.99 for the 65
3:51
watt non-overclockable version and approximately this is all estimates 9.99
3:56
for the overclockable one which CPU and GPU will be overclockable and you're
4:01
gonna have to add your own RAM your own operating system and your own storage
4:06
which is interesting because they got two m.2 slots in there so you could put
4:10
like a regular SSD or maybe optane that
4:14
would be a cool idea i wonder if Intel thought of putting optane in there for
4:18
super high speed storage speaking of thinking of things have you
4:21
guys given any thought to synergy 2 since the beginning of this video
4:25
well you should it's the new generation of software from seamless that lets you
4:29
share a keyboard and mouse between multiple computers be they Windows mac
4:32
os and Linux it's pretty freaking cool and it's easier to configure than ever
4:37
including now the ability to work around complicated networking configurations
4:42
and automatically find the best path so go check it out at the link in the video
4:46
description that's seamless dot com slash synergy slash ces one and you can
4:51
get 50 percent off so thanks for watching this video guys
4:55
you can dislike you can like it's up to you you can also get
4:59
subscribed and make sure you don't miss any of the rest of our content from ces

2018 although i can't promise there's gonna be anything else more mind-blowing
5:08
than this
5:12
can you see that it's crazy
