our Computex coverage here in 2017 is brought to you by the Corsair one gaming pc and synergy check them out at the link in the video description you guys aren't going to believe this we are in the backroom we are getting an early hands-on to give you some idea how fresh this product is this is not even a real box for look it's like I don't even know what this says but like it probably says like top secret or something like that because inside here we have a Seuss's new flagship AMD motherboard one that is for a socket that quite frankly is probably still quite a ways up from being something you can actually buy this right here is the zenith extreme you have to give me a minute I've got my 24 pin connector all ready to go so I can get all the RGB lighting illuminated this is going to be for AMD's upcoming a rumored thread Ripper product so that's going to be again rumored 12 14 or 16 core CPUs in a very high-end enthusiast slash workstation type platform in this board has all kinds of features some of which we've seen before and some of which we haven't so at its heart we've got their brand new socket tr4 this is an LG a socket the first time for an AMD on the consumer I mean if you want to call it consumer but on the consumer side of things it has 4,000 94 pins and you need a freaking screwdriver to open up the cover and when we do that we see why this thing looks extraordinarily fragile and has a configuration that I've never really seen before it almost looks like it's 2 CPUs being installed in a single socket which when you think about the fact that these things are going to have 64 PCI Express Lanes hmm might give you some hints as to how exactly it is that AMD is building up this sort of modulars in architecture CPU here looking pretty bananas it supports quad-channel memory and oh hold on a minute what the actual hell is that this is what ACS is calling a den dot 2 now we've seen MDOT two SSDs before in fact it's got one under the chipset cooler right down here but this is the new way so ACS is building custom memory module looking things they're still running off PCI Express so it's not like a memory SSD octane thing or anything like that but you can put two on here for better cooling without having your SSD sticking out of the middle of the board it's running an x3 99 chipset another obvious move from AMD to make their board sounds kind of like the Intel one but like better we're going all the way back to the Athlon XP performance rating days apparently it's got two eight pin power connectors which again adds some more credibility to my theory about it basically being two CPUs in there and it's got this is crazy we've got 802.11 a D Wi-Fi so that's like multi gigabit Wi-Fi on this thing it's going to come with a ten gigabit network card it's got freaking lights to tell you which audio port you're plugging in from the back and it's sli certified it's I mean what else can we say about this other than that you're going to have to sell your car if you want to own one I'm estimating no one here will confirm or deny but this thing is going to probably cost in the 599 u.s. dollar range plus the fact that you're going to be spending like we have a thousand bucks plus on a CPU to go in it but at least to pay you get an RGB backplate right so thanks for watching guys we're Computex coverage is brought to you by the Corsair one the 12 litre gaming pc that looks great and runs quiet we've actually reviewed it before so we don't have to tell you guys how great it is and by synergy which allows you to use multiple pcs be they PC Mac Linux whatever you want with a single keyboard and mouse absolutely seamlessly so check it out and save 25% on synergy at the link in the video description don't miss any of our contacts covered by getting subscribed and I'll see you guys again at the next like Dan cast back room early acts change
