my coverage of Computex 2018 is brought to you by gigabyte coolermaster team group and Thermaltake hey guys I'm here at gigabyte at Taipei 101 up on the 36th floor they always set up here and it's always beautiful there you get a nice view but I have something very special that I'm gonna share with you guys and I don't think anyone has really talked about this on video yet so ha gamers Nexus isn't hardware it connects I'm scooping you guys it's right here and you guys may have already heard that Intel demonstrated a 28 core processor running at 5 gigahertz they showed an insane Cinebench score but that was really all that they shared I have the actual system that was used for that test right here and gigabyte was only able to tell me a few very vague details I'm gonna see what else I can figure out just by looking at this system so first off how is it cool there was a lot of speculation that running 28 cores at 5 gigahertz would require a lot of cooling they actually have an AC unit here that's connected up so they keeping this potentially below ambient that's all set up in there and I can't get too close to look at it yet but I am understanding that there's a bits of power Block in there it's keeping everything nice and chilly thanks bits power for your cooling expertise here is the sin of edge score the run 7356 Cinebench points on a single CPU 28 cores and 56 threads it's listed here at 2.7 gigahertz but as you can see over on the left here 5 gigahertz was what it was actually running at I might be able to get us them doing some more demos on this some live stuff they said they were actually able to beat this score by doing some testing here but maybe I will come back to that so the first thing I think I figured out is that they have up the game going from quad-channel memory on the currents 2x 299 platform to 6 channel memory since there are 12 dims installed in this system actually don't think all those are populated these are using those memory that then some some dummy sticks but they do have at least six of those populated in there in order to get the system up and running I can't show you guys the CPU itself since its installed over there but they do have the actual motherboard that was used in that system and this is of course a prototype a mock-up but by looking at this we can figure out a few more things for example LGA 36 47 so this is a server socket and does seem has anticipated that Intel might be answering Red River with this platform thread repairs been insanely popular it was one of my favorite launchers from last year and it's gained a lot of popularity so info was like hey we have high end server stuff maybe we can create a platform for the high end desktop for enthusiasts and also take some of our existing IP our existing work we've done on that and bring it over so you're gonna have a massive socket here similar to the tr4 socket that we have on thread Ripper we also have like the hugest chipset heatsink as far as I can tell that I've ever ever really seen on board your granted this board is very oversized I don't think this board is conforming to a specific standard maybe an SSI CEB I don't see those boards too often so I'm not sure about that but we can also see 12 DIMM slots on either side of the CPU and we can also see just the most insane power delivery configuration I think I have ever seen I'm gonna count them 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 plus wood that's say something around 28 plus 1 they're also potentially some additional power faces over here for the memory but yeah I guess maybe one power phase for her court granted counting power faces is gonna be the end-all be-all for any given motherboard they can use different components in here that can drive different levels of power but they also have just a huge beefy heatsink on here very heavy looks like they are using copper fins in that and for active cooling fans to keep everything cool okay quick correction I'm being told there's a 32 phase power delivery for that I'm not going to go any more in depth but I took some pictures of this board and I might send them over to build Zoid finally for power delivery we don't have just a single supplemental CPU power connector we don't even have to we got for either side of the board and spread out I assume to help distribute the power to all of those phases single slots based full-length PCI Express slots there and some other connectors that I'm not even really familiar with we got au dot - I imagine maybe they'll be adding some m dot two or something like that in the future - but again this is an early board there's something that they mocked up so they could get the system up and running in order to demonstrate a 24:56 thread processor from Intel hopefully coming soon to an enthusiast platform near you now I know everything else is probably gonna pale in comparison to that first reveal of the 28 core systems that's I do want to cover some of the other stuffs the gigabyte has on display for instance Oris memory it's RGB memory it comes in a stick kit and they're going to come to market with a 2 by 8 gig kits two of these memory modules are dummies so they don't actually have memory in them but if you plug them in you'll still get RGB lighting so if you don't like having unpopulated memory slots in your system then definitely grab this kit because you'll get four of them and they said they're gonna keep the pricing competitive with other similar are you GP kits like this the only difference is instead of getting two sticks you get four sticks same amount of memory but all the RGB here's a look at the gigabyte SSD UD pro series these would be very competitively priced so in the sixty to seventy dollar range for a 256 gig and they have a nice clean look just a gigabyte logo a black housing pretty standard SATA Drive but at a very reasonable price gigabytes also getting into power supplies they've done this before but the difference this time is they're actually manufacturing themselves they're not going through a separate OEM like see Sonic or something like that this is the Auris AP 850 GM it is gold rated it's modular and it's got the Auris IP or the Auris design on it with the silver and orange so especially if you like silver and orange and you wants an all or assistant this is gonna blend in very nicely and here's a nice little mouse the Auris m5 it's got armor on switches got a picsArt sensor it's got a pretty cool-looking design it's gonna have RGB lighting around the edges the demo unit they had over there was pretty smudged up and everything you can at least see the lighting going around the sides on the fly dpi switching forward and back button as well some light indicators on the side to tell you what dpi setting your hats for saying it makes you a scroll wheel there and on the bottom you can pop this plate up and it's got a unique weight system they're actually scattered around there so not just forward and back but side to side if you have a hook or a slice I guess you can put weight more on one side or the other to compensate for that look at this amazing view you have from the gigabyte suite I'm getting distracted alright let's continue with a couple more actual products starting with B 450 before 50 is a successor to be 350 which has been the insanely popular platform for risin and risin to processors that was very popular because you could get very reasonably priced motherboards with the be 350 chipset for around 80 to 120 or 130 dollars which would give you all the functions you really need in order to get a gaming PC up and running before 50 is a successor to that so it's gonna be out of the box in paddle with all your eyes and two processors and you won't have to worry about maybe a potential BIOS update or anything like that this specific board is the B 450 horse Pro Wi-Fi so it's going to be reasonably priced although we don't have a specific price on it yet and the upgrades over B 350 for this in particular is gonna be the addition of the secondary m dot 2 slot and gigabyte has actually puts big old heat sinks on both of them so if you have two and that two drives that make it warm heat sinks for both and those gonna help keep things cool another cool feature that you wouldn't expect on a more budget oriented board is the fixed IO shield so you'll never forget your IO shield again because it is right there and it is fixed there's also a quick look at the actual IO on the board it does have video out so it's going to support your Raven Ridge AP use as well as those rides into processors and here finally is an updated horas X 399 motherboard so this is going to be compatible with current generation thread river CPUs but AMD has already confirmed that thread refer to is going to be coming out around August since we are maybe gonna have higher core counter processors on the thread Ripper Tunes we're expecting 24 core we're hoping for 32 core as well I feel like AMD should definitely do 32 cores so if anyone in formaiities watching guys you need to do 32 cores I mean we showed Intel's 28 core over the earlier in this video you guys need to one-up them with 32 regardless of what is actually available CPU wise though they are going to need some beefier power delivery to handle those higher core counts and maybe even the higher clock speeds too so to that effect gigabyte his Edison beefier heat sinks he pipe connected up here these are copper fins on there which should provide a bit of extra aid and heat dissipation there's also dual eight pin power delivery up on top and even away from the CPU socket every spot on this board is filled with something we've got three MDOT two slots here with the heatsink covers for the two upper ones this one is tied into the heatsink that's for the x3 99 chipset over here as well and then gigabyte has added a PCI Express graphics power connector there to provide some extra juice to the PCI Express slots depending on if you have those entirely populated or not this board does have some RGB effects and they've skipped going with RGB lighting on the DIMM slots and on the PCIe slots which I like that's lighting there that they had on some of the prior boards was just maybe a little bit too much for me and also had individual LEDs here they've created a bit more of a diffusion and they have some lighting effects down here on the chipset over here on the ESS saber high-five power delivery area for the audio as well as a bit up here on the cover for that heatsink and the IO this board also has a backplate across the entire back of the board which is great for out-of-the-box build just keep the loops protected there and also just looking cool forest logo on the back there - and also worth pointing out this board is just insanely heavy that's - of course - a lot of the copper that's used for the heat sinks and it just being so incredibly packed with features add-on points and that two slots and lots of lots of vim slots finally here's a look at the IO tons and tons of USB 3.0 as well as the USB 3.1 type C and type a connectors all the gold-plated outputs for your audio and then we got three Nick's this one's 10 G these are Gigabit Nick so you get two of those and then get a 10 gigabits of quanta Nick also integrated there so if you're moving the lots and lots of file over a network that is going to be incredibly helpful for you oh and also firstly fixed IO shield there as well which you would expect on the high end since they've also got a lower end p450 boards now - because it's gonna wrap it for my coverage here and the gigabyte floor of Taipei 101 in Taipei Taiwan I always love coming here I think this has been my favorite stop so far because we had some actual hardcore PC hardware to share with you 28 core CPU from Intel some anticipated upcoming thread Ripper to stuff a battle brewing a war perhaps in the high-end desktop space between Intel and AMD but guys if you enjoyed this video hit the thumbs up button and of course a big thank you to my sponsors gigabyte Thank You gigabyte for sponsoring my Computex coverage as well as team group Thermaltake and Coolermaster I got more videos coming at you so if the thumbs up button and we'll see you in the next one
