we've got to news roundup videos for this week this one focuses on some products so we're looking at intel's the new kb lake cpu skews that have been somewhat detailed looking at logitech's new mouse and a somewhat unique but interesting case the other news video we'll talk about technology specifically GDD are six hbm three things like that that will come out around the same time so before we get into the coverage for this video it is brought to you by i buy power and the new elements gaming PC with a full tempered glass side window and LEDs all over the place so the main part of the content is in towson new kb lake CPU skews we've known that these are coming for quite a while now they've been delayed but it does still look like a quarter 4 2016 launch for kb lake and they will remain on LGA 1151 as well for the socket type OC aholic details the skis for kb lake from an i5 7500 up to an i7 7700 k and hidden markets probably in the fourth quarter the i7 7700 k is the high-end unmarked chip with a reported for you can see of four points you get hurts base that boosts up to 4.5 compared to the sky lake i 760 700k also on 14 nanometer process this place is the base clock of the new chip equals the 6700 k is at boost clock with a zero point three gigahertz and gain in the boost department overall Intel is pushing eight megabytes of cash on the 7700 k and is using a quad-core cpu with smt for a total of eight threads nothing really unexpected here we don't yet know the HD graphics version for intel's new kb lake cpus and that will be detailed closer to launch the 7600 k will fill the enthusiast market with a 3.8 gigahertz clock base that boots 24 and a quad-core cpu without smt and 6 megabytes of smart cache TDP for the 1151 enthusiast class cpus is rated at 95 wats a marginal gain over sky like generations at 91 watt TDP for the case qs chips lower power chips are rated for 65 watts including the non k 7770 600 cpus while lower power chips land at 35 watts and are branded with into t suffix anytime you see a tee on an intel cpu by the way that's what it means ultra low power and these cpus run lower clock rates that aren't overclockable but generate less heat and our targeted at mainstream and low power htpc type setups of course this does correlate to power draw but when we read these TDP metrics it's not actually a literal 35 watts or a literal 95 wats necessarily that's more measurement of the cooling solution required for the chip and the technology LGA 1151 if you hadn't already noticed that's remaining in use for kb lake and it will now be differentiated by the chip it's targeted at standard power low-power ultra-low power so when buying motherboards 4k be like in the future you'll want to look at the compatibility list for the board to make sure that cpu is supported because the power delivery will sort of dictate what CP is work on what board other news this week includes a Logitech's new g pro mouse this is a seventy dollar mouse targeted at the more mainstream market they're trying to pair the g 100 ng 303 to make a body and combination of functionality that is not offensive to the mainstream market IE not a gamer mouse like we've seen with the 303 which using Logitech's words was a very polarizing design the g pro uses the same metal tension spring buttons and side buttons as the G 303 a mouse that we actually did like but it ditch is the controversial gamer look of the 303 instead taking design elements from the g one hundred mouse that was more of a professional consumer type mouse in this regard the g pro is a merger of the g one hundred and g 303 the g pro is still using the PMW 3366 sensor sticks with built-in memory for profile transport without demanding software everywhere you go and uses a scroll wheel that doesn't rely on optics for tracking and that's one of the more interesting elements that will be looking at in a teardown the logitech g pro is targeted at a more mainstream and professional audience with a gaming slant and hopes to fill that less than gamer look for mice that we've seen for the company's existing line up as an aside logitech has finally ditched the Greek god naming scheme which really truly was awful as we said and I think the Artemis spectrum review there's no Ryan spark as well well there are a couple of other ones Daedalus was another that was a mouse there's no real rhyme or reason to it that is gone and I guess the only thing I'm really disappointed in is that there was no Dionysus cup or something like that for gaming and MLG events as a final news item there's a new gaming case from the netherlands-based company x2 and it's called the Empire this is a case that uses internally only 0.5 five millimeter thick steel not that thick compared to some other stuff we've looked at like the in 1303 but it's got an aluminum brushed finish on the outside that does help strengthen things most obviously is the unique design slanted somewhat trapezoidal and the enclosure uses a glass side window with the same unique shape 250 angular design showcasing and s 3 40 inspired PSU shroud and pre-installed RGB LED rear fan 7 expansion slots make for full ATX support for the most part and couple with GPUs up to 400 millimeters in length granted we're not really sure if that's the length measured at the top or the bottom of the slot give them the trapezoidal shape again but either way it's plenty of space standard audio and USB in the front too I oh area is available with support for legacy ac97 audio for some reason that Peyer case is an interesting one it's weird I kinda it's reminiscent of some of the inland stuff we've seen that doesn't necessarily target the wider market but hopefully we'll be able to look at it because it is kind of strange and I'd like to see how it performs thermally does look interesting though so that's the main news items for the products this week we do have this mouse quite obviously and we'll probably review it we've got packs coming up so that may take priority but that's coming up soon do a teardown probably and the case the Empire will reach out to them see what you can do otherwise Kaiba lake is a ways out still so check back for more content as always patreon link in the post role video subscribe for more I'll see you all next time you
