They release it earlier on the forums so the forum gets more members

Yes! My prediction was right! I knew the quad core was going to make a difference.

 

These videos were so much fun.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600X            | Cooler: Deepcool AK400      | Motherboard: B550 Elite AX V2  | Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1TB  |

Now that I think of it, are the overclock results posted anywhere?  Kind of curious.  

What I had expected:

Linus: Q6600 @ ~3.2Ghz, 7950 @ ~1Ghz

Luke: e8400 @ ~3.7Ghz, R9 290 @ ~1.1Ghz

 

What it was:

Linus: Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz, 7950 @ 960MHz

Luke: e8400 @ 3Ghz (stock!), R9 290 @ 1025MHz

 

I expected the CPU in the end to not be much of a bottleneck because of the potential for a decent overclock. But at the end of the day Linus' CPU was not only faster overall but also faster in single threaded loads. The fact that Linus managed to push that CPU to the limit and Luke didn't get anything out of it (I assume the MoBo) was probably the difference. 

Fools think they know everything, experts know they know nothing

I knew that 290 would bottleneck. 

Eric S. Raymond used an E6600 from 2005 until 12/30/14 or open source software creation. Raw data computations in excess of 18GB each. Core 2 Duos still have tons of life left, my friend.

Beautiful conclusion and must say I'm surprised (SPOILER) Luke didn't win, Can't wait to see more of this content when the new office is running.

Wow, that conclusion! That 290 got bottlenecked so hard.

 

Great show guys, can't wait for the next one.

Everyone knew that, but if Luke would've been able to overclock his E8400 to hell and back, he probably would've won in the end.

But alas, the silicon lottery is a bitch. 

 

I keep telling people the core 2 quad has life still left in it. 

This is proof I'm not shitting.

Yeah, no doubt. 

 

Was it silicon lottery or a shitty board?

I would have to say both, actually. The board didn't appear to be the best. I have no clue what it was, but I know linus' was better. 

And even linus' was shit compared to one of these babies which will arrive on my doorstep within the next week.

The music almost made me fall off my chair. Just spot on.

 

I'm also surprised at the huge gap between those CPU performances. Thought it would have been closer or at least wouldn't have won out every time.

 

Definitely thought Linus had pegged the 290 when he mentioned that reference cooler.

You guys really need to stop with the ridiculous part names. Just name it part 2 or 3, wth is 1c

 

they said on the wan show that they are working this into a series.  i'm guessing that its will be 1 abc, 2 abc,etc for each build-off or series of video segments.  They are working out how to divide the new LMG office/warehouse and are looking to have a dedicated work/mod area that will play home to this and other projects.  

 

I for one am excite 8-)
