what's up guys Jays $0.02 here we're have a guest on the channel that we haven't had here in a while disc this guest actually deserves no introduction but let me go let me go get them they're shy somebody we had a scene hey it's gunk works the strafe RGB mark 2 from Corsair features genuine Cherry MX switches perky RGB backlighting USB pass-through for convenient access and dedicated multimedia keys with integrated volume knob making it a great value for gamers and keyboard enthusiasts alike learn more about the strafe RGB mark 2 by visiting the link down below so this system has actually been running back at my house now for shoot almost two years as long as I have been in this studio this remember this never came over with me and a lot of you guys have missed it she's dirty she's always been a little dirty though view known as Ryan she's a little dusty man this thing's fit tight we need to clean it out a little bit but that's actually not the purpose of today's video holy crap those fans are filthy we are gonna these things are built Ford Tough let me tell you this thing would carry Silverado up a wall of cinder blocks you know what I'm saying a mountain of cinder blocks it's a throwback to the old 80s commercials for Ford but anyway I digress that's besides the point today's video is actually about Intel CPUs and Specter slowdown because a fun fact about this system this is still running Windows 8.1 pro I never upgraded this system to Windows 10 I avoided all of the free updates I never took any of Microsoft's sham toys to get you to upgrade all of their spyware and be honest I never had any performance issues and so why bother oh that's so bad I read an article today I'm gonna put a link to it down below that talked about Intel trying to suppress and block independent reviewers or anyone for that matter to actually talk about Specter slowdown and showing comparative compare and contrast with before and after patching and this is on their most recent licensing for the most recent spectre and meltdown patches and the whole reason why I'm doing this quite a bit late it's because Intel seems to think that at some point that they could tell me that I couldn't do that well to that I say I'm gonna do it anyway we are gonna be running Cinebench obviously r15 we're be running fire strike fire strike extreme and fire strike ultra so those are the four tests I'm gonna run they should those two combine but the cpu score and the GPU score and the Cinebench should be enough to at least paint somewhat of a picture of what performance is going to do once we go to Windows 10 okay Cinebench r15 here we go this is going to be our base run and let's see look at all them cores man this is see there's no need to update your systems every year like like I do I mean we kind of have to around here we have to build systems it's what we do but that's why this system is actually remained untouched for two solid years now even the fluids although I think I have to top off my CPU fluid ok 2308 was our score on that one so I'm gonna run in one more time 2321 okay so the difference was what one point okay we run around Cinebench one more time 2310 okay so it was a 23:08 or something that a 23 21 and a 23 10 so I'll just put 23 10 and now we're gonna run all three of our 3d marks so here's our total score thirty four thousand six hundred and twenty which is pretty damn good graphics core 55,000 971 the physic a physics score I was a physics physics score of twenty seven thousand four hundred and five this is the one we're really gonna look for here this is straight up CPU and CPU only I'm most interested in this number because if this number goes down then this number goes down because well not really a bottleneck but this number is directly related to CPU performance because with these types of FPS figures right here if the CPU can't keep up with 267 FPS and of course it's gonna go down and then our combined score so we're gonna take all three of these numbers across all three tests run it again on Windows 10 and we will compare so I will save you guys the boredom of watching us do this very repetitively and I will just come back with the results and of course after the windows update and then the updates to the updates because apparently nvidia pays me to so here the result windows 8.1 we got a thirty four thousand six hundred and twenty with a physics score of twenty seven thousand 405 graphics score a fifty five thousand nine seventy one and a combined score of 99 eighty nine now Windows 10 we actually saw over about eleven hundred point reduction on the physics score not really enough to really notice like day to day but there was indeed a reduction our average FPS dropped from 87 to eighty three point seven so we lost approximately what 3 F 3 point 3 FPS on that again probably not going to notice that our graphics core though ironically on Windows 10 went up which could vary for a few different reasons one it just could have been the improvement in Windows 10 operating system in terms of games this is using DirectX 11 it's not DirectX 12 test so that should have had anything to do with it so that's why our difference in the main score wasn't that far off but our combined score in Windows 10 dropped approximately four hundred and seventeen points from a ninety nine eighty nine to a 95 seventy two bottom line there is nobody is going to really notice that now if we go all the way up to ultra we're gonna skip extreme we go straight to ultra so 1080p high FPS all the way up to ultra 4k which means more load on the GPUs less on the CPU now the ultra score was a fourteen thousand seventy nine on Windows 10 versus a thirteen thousand nine ninety four on Windows 8.1 our physics course still lower though in 4k by approximately a thousand points however our graphics score was overall about eighty points higher on Windows 10 so kind of staying in line of what we saw with the standard test where our graphics core is a little bit higher and our CP score was a little bit lower our combined score was also higher here on ultra in Windows 10 than it was a Windows 8 but all of these are within margin of error you're not going to notice any of this in any sort of a gaming scenario but I wouldn't have expected to you considering the fact that we have such a high core cow high core clock that this is the kind of type of thing that if you were notice this sort of percentage of change in like an i3 or something like that you definitely would have noticed it a bit more so in terms of gaming at least in this particular scenario skunkworks is affected a little bit by spectre and meltdown patching in fact the BIOS we loaded on this motherboard to install Windows 10 specifically stated it was for the spectre in meltdown patch microcode updates so there is that but there's one other test we need to do here we need to do our Cinebench I think we should do that live that way we can kind of compare our results with our first test so here we are windows 64-bit we need to bring up our previous results right here as this is going and our previous score if you recall was a 2310 we ran it three times and it fluctuated around that score so let's see what we got right here I'm expecting it to be maybe twenty two hundred and eighty one that's my guest 2281 will be my my prediction see if I'm right or wrong 2313 so three points higher than the 23 ten we settled on so I still don't know why my 7900 X on my D frame build with faster Titan cards on a newer platform is slower than skunk works on older hardware slower graphics cards technically a previous generation older CPU getting better results than a newer hardware so you could guess I guess you could take this video and swing it from a comparative results of Spectre remember I'm doing this as Intel said you can't at least in there you as it stands today not to try and prove or disprove whether or not Spectre is gonna ruin your day but just to test it because they said we can but I still don't know exactly why the results are the way they are so if you know how about you tell me down in the comments below I mean temperatures are well in check on both systems yes this is a soldered IHS versus the 1700 X having ace Tim in there but end of the day you're not going to notice any of this at least not in this level of hardware if you guys have noticed any sort of massive negative performance impact on your hardware regarding Spectre in meltdown Kay let me know what hardware you're running down in the that way I can try and maybe recreate that myself but at least for us in this exact situation although we know that the patching existed and we know that Intel was worried about something which is why the language is in the EULA to begin with wasn't noticeable would have never noticed it in this situation all right guys we're gonna go thanks for this video where we just decided to kind of stick the middle finger up to the man I'm the man in some instances so to myself all right guys we're good to go thanks for watching and as always we will see you in the next
