Intel is selling PRE-OVERCLOCKED CPUs...

[Emily Young]

When Digital Storm offered to send a fully custom, decked out Aventum X with Intel’s new Core i9 9900KS CPU, how could I say no?

 

 

Thanks to Digital Storm for sending us this completely custom Aventum for this video! Check them out: https://www.digitalstorm.com/desktops.asp

 

Buy a Core i9 9900KS:
On Amazon: https://geni.us/XppRmgB
On Newegg: https://lmg.gg/8KVYf

 

Or maybe just get a 9900K:
On Amazon: https://geni.us/SFhh9B
On Newegg: https://lmg.gg/8KVYn

 

Either way you should get a good cooler like the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black:
On Amazon: https://geni.us/7ORlP
On Newegg: https://lmg.gg/8KVY2

 

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

The i9 9900K at 5ghz is faster than the i9 9900KS because the latter has more hardware level security patches to its micro-code that harms performance... lel.

Aren't K series CPU's already pre-overclocked CPU's? 

[Mira Yurizaki]

I thought it's been a thing that boutique system builders would pre-overclock your system. Sometimes for free, sometimes for a fee.

Did he really call the 9900KS a mass market cpu? WTF? I think he needs to get back to earth. Mass market CPU. Lmao. More like the CPU for the 1%.

He's referring to Intel's consumer platform.

And you didn't even make use of the 2 RTX 2080 Tis

Unpopular opinion: fully utilizing the mature & mass-production ready 14-nm node to produce processors is less risky and makes much financial sense than investing and transitioning to a new & experimental 10-nm node with limited manufacturing capacity.

any link to the quick disconnect hardware?

I'd argue then that staying on the 130nm node would be better than for the long term success of intel.

 

Thats why intel had a tick-tock, the tock would be a node shrink, and generally didn't really increase much performance. Look at Broadwell vs haswell, the peformance didn't change much.

This CPU is an absolute joke. In 98% of real world and synthetic benchmarks a 3950X and sometimes even a 3900X is level with or beats it. Why use Cinebench and Blender in this video to benchmark the "Worlds fastest gaming CPU" according to Intel?!

 

Although I get the niche of this CPU when it comes to silicon lottery, but if you're building a new bleeding edge system and want to save money why not go AMD? And you'll for sure save in the cooling department as well.

Different stepping too IIRC, I think it's a 3% loss in IPC? Maybe a 5? Not massive but it is there.

Fanboys then: FX 9590 is just an overclocked 8350, AMD is shit for selling overclocked CPUs that are literally the same as the old ones.

 

Fanboys now: Woah this overclocked 9900K is great, instabuy cause Intel is still the best.

Wasn't around for the FX days, but there are (albeit more niche) advantages to the 9900KS: they'll hit 5.2-5.3Ghz or higher much more reliably than a 9900K, and they can run the same clocks at lower voltages, making them cooler and thus better than a 9900K for those who enjoy stuffing nuts hardware in SFF cases.

Ah you mean Intel's 14nm is actually quite good and AMD is just now able to compete with literally half the node size? 7nm Zen 2 is just now competing/beating (better IPC, but lower clocks) Intel, 12nm Zen/Zen+ was competing with 22nm Haswell and first gen 14nm Broadwell on single core at similar clocks. I believe spectre/meltdown fixes hit the older Intel chips harder though. 

 

10nm will hopefully be able to compete with AMD's stuff once it's ready, but yeah it's a bit behind right now, AFAIK they only have a few 10nm lads in some laptops, and those don't have too many advantages over the 8th/9th gen chips (better iGPUs tho).

another sponsored video ?

Remember devil's canyon? Intel does, and they want to remind you with extra-special™ re-releases of all their greatest hit.

[williamcll]

How does it compare to the 3950X in terms of price to performance?

Just light your wallet on fire.

 

That's how.

der8auer release a video weeks ago where he got this CPU to run at 6GHz+ using dry ice.
