AMD destroys itself

2019-07-19
alright y'all so today's video is gonna be pretty quick and dirty because wifey sauce and I actually have to leave in a couple hours to the mountains I shouldn't say we have to we get to leave in a couple hours we're just gonna hang out with some friends relax for the weekend unplugged for a bit so sorry if this video is feeling a bit rushed we literally leave in like two hours which of your content creator you know that's basically zero time whatsoever to get a video done so sorry in advance but let's continue we have this big old beauty route here so in CES earlier this year at CES I actually did a sponsored build would be quiet in their suite it was really fun we did it inside of their dark base 700 white Edition and I actually haven't even unboxed it since I got back seven months ago we've got a twenty nine seventy WX which is a twenty four core forty eight thread thread Ripper two CPU that's got like 64 gigs of ram in it I forget what GPUs in there maybe 20 80 20 ATI and one of the two but at any rate the reason why I'm bringing it back up today is because AMD recently dropped the prices on a lot of their thread Ripper SKUs that includes the 24 core part but I'm more interested in testing their 12 core 29 at 20x mainly because the core in thread count directly competes now with the risin nine 3900 X which in my last video is now inside of the Dan case a four build with 16 gigs of DDR 4 and gtx 980ti if you want to find out more about how this actually functions with a 12 core inside of it go ahead and check that video out it's kind of interesting but here's the deal 3900 X is 499 US dollars after the price cuts the 29 20 X is now 650 dollars yes that's a bit more expensive however we're gonna have a quick showdown between these two CPUs today to determine which one is the better Buy I'm not gonna do a whole lot of tests I'm going to do Cinebench and Adobe Premiere Pro this is the actual system I'm going to test with the 3900 X so it's already sort of at a disadvantage with a cooling solution in place which has a 92 millimeter liquid ao whereas our thread Ripper rigs actually rocking a be quiet dark rock pro 4 yes it's an air cooler but it's one hell of an air cooler outperforms a lot of liquid coolers in fact and of course we have a large chassis so there's gonna be a lot more airflow pumping through that thing than this guy should be kind of an interesting test yes it's not apples to apples because of the chassis and the coolers and all that but again rushed video so on that note let's get started all right so we've got both of our systems set up here got the 3900 X built in this corner and the 29:20 X over here you can just see the size differences vast I'm gonna test the 3900 X first because it's ready to go whereas I have not touched this system again since January so right now we're doing like tons of Windows updates it's already been like half an hour and still going strong on that note I'm gonna go ahead and start our render test here in Adobe Premiere Pro this is a 10-minute 4k clip rendered out with h.264 encoding all right timer is good we're gonna start the clock right now all right I'm gonna let this guy do his thing and we'll be back in a few minutes okay that was pretty fast 9 minutes and 14 seconds is the score we got up to ninety two point six degrees Celsius at its hottest although I think it was sort of hovering in the high 80s to maybe 90 see yourself obviously very warm but if you guys watch the last video we went to detail about that not too bad though for a 92 millimeter liquid a oh clock speeds we're looking really good as well the whole time we were hitting in the high threes even the low fours you can see here a lot of the cores actually spiked up to 4.6 just over 4.5 gigahertz on some of the cores at time so that's our score for premiere it's go ahead and fire up city bitch alright so the bench are 20 now here we go come on get it alright what do we get seven thousand and forty seven points I'm gonna run the test two more times then we'll take the average because sometimes Cinebench scores can be a little inconsistent this room is so ugly it renders me speechless alright r3 Cinebench runs are done those are the three scores averaging to 7,000 and 17 points for the multi-threaded test alright and Windows updates is done on our threader per system or I'm gonna start with Cinebench at this time for the sorry that's probably making you sick right just like a 3100 X I'm gonna do three runs and then we'll Everage amount okay the results are in our risin nine 3900 X got a score of seven thousand and seventeen in the multi-threaded test in the same test our risin thread Ripper twenty nine twenty X scored five thousand seven hundred and two the 3900 X outperformed it by 23% and it's $150 cheaper whoo my boy is killing it so it's pretty evident as to why AMD recently slashed the prices of their second gen thread or four CPUs I think they should have slashed him even more because it's not even performing in the same ballpark which is insane of course there's still the argument to be made for high-end desktop platforms like x3 99 here if you have a need for the extra i/o there's more connectivity onboard you get more PCIe lanes granted there PCIe gen3 versus Gen 4 now you also get things like quad channel memory support but at the end of the day the 3900 X is just an absolute unit I'm just super impressed right now let's try the premiere test and see what happens all right we're just about ready to start out from your test here exactly the same clip same effects and everything same render settings and we are ready to rock remember the time to beat is 9 minutes and 15 16 seconds 9 minutes and 14 seconds just just like I said all right here we go 3 2 1 go all right so how do our 29 20 acts stack up against the 3900 X in a 10 minute 4k render in Adobe Premiere Pro 15 minutes and 54 seconds compared to 9 minutes and 14 seconds with the rise in 9 part and really this system had every advantage going for it I mean I had the better case with more airflow it had a better cooler this thing was like hovering in the 60s it was like 65 to 70 see the entire time and still the 3900 X could not be stopped the multi-threaded performance of the 3900 X is unbelievable I mean unless you need the extra IO I think the 3900 X is by far the better value as demonstrated today the 3900 X just continues to impress me every time I test it and do something new with it the multi-threaded performance for 500 bucks a 12 core CPU that's outperforming a 2nd gen rising thread Ripper 2920 X by that much and it's $150 cheaper it's just really cool right now that this kind of performance this level of performance is coming to the mainstream desktop CPU market there's my quick and dirty video guys sorry again that it's quick and dirty but I'm gonna bounce out of here guys I got a mountain to climb I'm probably not gonna climb it and too lazy for that I'll see you guys very soon thank you so much for watching toss a like on the video if you enjoyed it get subscribed for more haphazardly thrown together videos like this one and now we'll see you guys in the next video ciao
