hey don't do that this chair I'm gonna go ahead and say my good-byes now no no no no cuz that in my shoulder don't do that to the chair I should out oh this poor chair everybody meet Pepsi Pepsi meet everybody okay the introduction is over time to start filming cuz she's not gonna be too excited in about a minute before you scream clickbait allow me to explain up front I am DS value proposition has been a hot topic for US tech tubers for quite a while now the question regarding the choice between the i7 8700 K typically hailed as the gaming king and the r7 1700 or second gen 2700 X true multi-core ball buster CPUs seems to always spark debate and rightfully so I mean both have their advantages and I have to give conditions when asked to recommend one or the other for workstations virtual machines and streaming you can't go wrong with a 1700 the second gen rise and stuff is just gravy but for pure gaming and niche video work in premiere for example the 8700 K reigned supreme Intel's lowly and ring bus Trump's the competition that's the Infinity fabric on AMD side and nigp means additional software encoding support but the introduction of horizon and 2017 placed Intel's Core i5 into questionable territory look KB Lake and older Union structured around really four cores are just a bit dated in 2018 they were still better gamers overall they still are if that's all you want to do is just game but fewer and fewer people are literally doing just that with the rise of twitch and other streaming services growing in popularity so people are doing more than one thing at the same time and that makes sense the core race is strong the marketing punch is stronger and that's exactly why Intel bumped its core i5 count for coffee Lakes launch now the 80 480 600k consumer grade i5 CPUs boast 6 cores still no hyper-threading gaming performance is still some of the best in the business but we consistently see comparable rise in cpus both in terms of price and core account crushing the blue team and heavy multitasking workloads and that's where the title of this video comes into play see one of our sponsors and patreon supporters at T Baum pointed out that the first gen rise in seven CPUs most notably these 1,700 was priced at 100 9 USD that is nearly half the MSRP of the chip at launch and it's something I think you should strongly consider for your next PC build now as of the publishing date of this video actually when I'm filming this the deal no longer exists it was still running yesterday but I've linked the CPU and a few motherboards and RAM kits down below in the video description and I invite you to check those prices on a daily basis if not weekly because I'm pretty sure we'll see similar pricing and then your future it just makes sense they've done it once before they'll do it as the chip continues to get older I'm only asking you to consider it and to look at this deal for what it truly is an eight-core 16 thread CPU capable of at least 3.8 gigahertz under modest conditions that's with a be 350 motherboard which is very cheap by the way it's priced at entry-level core i5 territory now in games it isn't the best I've run several tests in the past with various graphics cards to verify this but I'd like you to overlook the small FPS Delta's this is not about the better performer it's about the better of value if we break these benchmark systems down on an FPS per dollar basis for a game like GTA 5 the money saved on a cheaper higher core account CPU and B 315 motherboard results in comparable overall value per frame extracted this mind you ignores the streaming and multitasking benefits of such machine over at SCI 5 counterpart despite Intel's Core jump from 4 to 6 this time around so the point of this video isn't to make a sale or to earn a few bucks on affiliate Commission's I mean the C if he is not even priced at 100 G's of AMD they've turned quite sassy recently mocking Intel's 8086 k giveaway and undercutting much of the competition's pricing structure I mean the r7 1700 isn't even AMD's latest generation CPU the second gen 2700 is still selling in the States for almost 300 bucks still a heck of a bargain when seen in the context at Z 370 and unlock i7 prices mind you but that's for a separate video look if you want the best in gaming go for the i7 if you want Intel's architecture for optimized programs go for the i7 I'm not gonna try to steer you away from Intel if you were already going after it for those specific reasons but if you want pure value it's almost impossible to overlook and not consider a brand new rise in 7/8 core 16 thread CPU priced under $200 be vigilant check Amazon every day for these deals and jump on the one you feel best suits your next build whether it be with the red team or the I don't care I don't get paid by either of them either way how do I look at this pricing strategy though I think AMD wants the i-5 dead I think they'd openly admit that if they're willing to price of 1,700 at $1.99 then they'll surely do it again and bundling with an affordable B through 50 board will yield some of the best value in the business this isn't about picking a side it's about being a rational being reasonable using your brain and when it comes to value 8 core 16 threads at 199 is just in my eyes it's almost impossible to pass up if I was building another workstation PC something I needed a lot of course for and I was conscious about my budget now maybe I want to spend a thousand bucks $1,500 then the rise in 717 hundred at $1.99 is it's just staring you right in the face and begging to be bought and I think that I would have no problem buying that CPU over the i7 8700 K merely from a value proposition I don't know you guys think the comments below let me know give this video a thumbs up if you thought it was cool thumbs down for the obstacle if that red subscribe button if you haven't already in stay tuned for a more content
