so for us it's the end of the first day of combi tax 2018 we have a quick news roundup for you of major items coming out of the show some of them more relevant than others the biggest one that we won't be talking about today is going to be AMD canceling their z4 90 chipset that's been rumored for a while now so if it vanishes and you don't know why it's not because the rumors were false because anthe killed it we'll be talking about why that happened today and then a couple of news items from Nvidia and their press briefing which mainly boils down to being pointless they came in front and then also we have a couple of things from Intel for the 8086 and the 28 core CPU before that this video is brought to you by EVGA and the X 299 dark motherboard for the Intel high-end desktop CPUs the X 299 dark is one of the only motherboards on the market with proper vrm cooling we've tested this and found a significant performance increase over those without active cooling on the BRMS this board was used in our recent attempt to set a top 10 record in fire strike and you can learn more about the x-29 dark at the link in the description below for the first news item for the AMD Z 490 chipset so this chipset was meant to basically follow up x4 70 it's the complete exact same chipset as x4 70 except Andy was planning to add plx chips for packs chips which are PCIe multiplexers so basically AMD wanted to get functionally more lanes assignable to PCIe devices on z4 90 from x4 70 by using plx chips apparently and he had trouble sourcing enough plx chips or enough at a reasonable price anyway and so what happened is they ended up just completely canceling the platform within a day is actually this is less than 25 actually at the time this video goes up less than 48 hours ago the cancellation of the z4 90 platforms that is dead we've confirmed it with multiple sources who work on motherboards in the industries that that's for sure confirmed gone and other than that information on Nvidia so some people were a bit surprised I guess for some reason that there were no new video cards at this event and video doesn't typically launch cards here and we've been saying for a few months now that GD dr6 production lines up more with an August timeline for the new card so pretty nebulous right now it's kind of end of July potentially August looking like maybe Gamescom for launch but either way certainly not anytime in the immediate future for the next generation of nvidia gpus GD r 6 is in mass production from all the vendors at this point so they have the supply not sure what the delay is something internal I guess but that's it's the timelines August basically is what we're looking at which also is about the timeline for thread refer to next news item is Intel and their 28 core h EDT cpu so this one was showcased at Computex on stage it's functionally Intel's pre-emptive response to the 24 core thread river CPU that's coming out at the show probably or at least should be if not then it will be announced soon and so the 24 core threader for CPU is going to be on the tr4 platform just like the existing ones it's gonna be on x3 99 Intel's 28 core CPU however we're not clear if it's the same LGA 20 66 or not it does pull a lot more power so it might be a different different socket type for that one but the 28 core CPU was overclocked to 5 gigahertz on stage it can do two might seven gigahertz stock we have no idea what the boos clock will be that's the one that really is the big question mark and scored 73 34 and Cinebench if you compare those numbers for a 5 gigahertz overclocked 700 millimeters squared and they call it an xcc CPU rather than an HCC CPU so rather than high core count it's extreme core count apparently at least they didn't call it extreme mega task you know like they've done in the past and then also their 8086 CPU so the 8086 k CB is justin anniversary edition cpu there's nothing special about it at all other than it's basically a bin 280 700 K that is pre clocked to basically 5 gigahertz so that's all you need to know about that other than the rumors were incorrect it's not soldered sorry it's actually Tim so that's disappointing on the 8086 k not really sure what value it provides it's more expensive it's Bend it clocks to about the same place that they do 700 K should and it uses Tim so nothing particularly exciting there and finally courser had RGB RAM so we'll end it there nothing nothing really worth talking about beyond that they put RGB LEDs on memory modules and they do 3200 megahertz so that's it for coarse hairs high computation as always subscribe for more go to patreon.com/scishow next it stops out directly gonna store it on camera nexus dotnet to pick up one of our mod mats and we'll have a lot more show coverage coming up soon including more news coverage and mini round it was like this one so make sure you subscribe I'll see you all next time
