today we are taking a look at the horizon 7 2700 X and comparing it to the I 999 hundred K and what we have here is two CPUs that really are worlds apart in pricing honestly the appeals straight away with the 2700 X is there and I would say it's there for the majority of people it comes in at around $300 u.s. includes a very nice RGB cooler which does a great job of taking the CPU to four gigahertz day-in day-out and the best thing is you can couple it with a be 350 motherboard granted the motherboard supports 2000 series chips and you can call it a day knowing you are getting phenomenal performance for the dollar that will play games well and do productivity tasks equally as well now before we get a little bit more in depth I will say that there are cheaper rise in 1700 chips out there going for even less than this they represent good value on the surface though personally I've used a rising first series 8 core in my main workstation last year for quite some time I even had it overclocked to 4 gigahertz and I feel like the rise in 2000 series processors are a step up in many ways first of all they clock higher in general and they do so at lower voltages this means less power consumption and higher performance they also have lower latencies this to me was a big one and was noticeable in everyday tasks especially when you are plowing through a lot of actions per minute whether it be mixing music to editing videos it does add up over time in my opinion so although the value appeal is there the rosin 2708 is just a more desirable chip then it's 1000 series counterpart and I feel is worth the premium though the 9900 K it's just been released and it's one Hot Chip all pun intended it can easily go over a hundred degrees even with the out-of-the-box settings with a solid 240 millimeter all-in-one cooling solution like the cooler I use the corsair h 100 i pro for example the temperatures were very hot and in this particular case I am NOT comparing coolers to one another so I didn't use a static fan speed also most people I don't have their CPU fans running at 80 to 100 percent at all times I mean if I did I don't know how you guys would watch videos if I recorded them for you because I just simply be bombard in your is non-stop ladies gentlemen we are now approaching Texas City before we begin our descent make sure your seats and gpus are position don't want that note out of the box settings it will get to 4.7 gigahertz with ease this is a 9900 K and at these levels it will produce quite fast numbers beating the 2700 X in games and productivity though doing so at nearly double the cost then you have to factor in more expensive costs involved with a bigger cooling solution better motherboard and also possibly a higher rated power supply - and in doing so the appeal does start to wear off a bit in my opinion the power consumption over time will also mean more money spent daily on the electricity bill and let's face it electricity isn't cheap nowadays especially after the cryptocurrency rained the scene for over a year and more and more people are accessing things like air conditioning and having Auto appliances left on in their homes all the time though let's talk about gaming specifically frame rates were higher in general when I tested the 1080p settings and this was tested at low by the way which I doubt only the most competitive of pros would actually use me personally even in a game like Call of Duty Black Ops 4 for example I put my settings on high because it allows me to see things easier in this particular game and when we do start increasing the graphics and turning up settings then the power of the graphics card then takes more of a strain and we see the frame rate gap start to close quite fast and this was tested within a Zeus RTX 20 ATT I pretty much the best card you can get out there at the moment for gaming so the Rison 2700 X is still a solid choice for gamers and the better news is if you are streaming from the CPU then the 2700 X will yet again do very well in this particular toss so unless you need those frame rates desperately then AMD solution is one that has a lot of appeal especially when it comes to value though under the next factor and this is productivity here's where the 9900 K does score more victories though they aren't a whole lot more if we were to look at the raw benchmark numbers it only comes out on top by a marginal victory most of the time and I'd argue the real benefit of the 9900 K versus the 2700 X is actually the ring bus verse saying cause and it's infinity fabric the ring bus architecture is the snappiest CPU architecture out there at the moment not just because of its higher clock speeds but also because of the designer self it beats that of Intel's own mesh architecture but as we have seen in the 8700 gave us the 9900 Kay video if you haven't seen that already I'll put the link up here it comes at a cost of poor scaling in that when you add more cores and threads to this architecture then the heat dissipation and also the power consumption start to go through the roof of the IHS like literally this thing gets quite hot and Intel raise the t.j.maxx thermal threshold on this chip to a hundred and fifteen degrees Celsius which I'm not sure if that's a good thing in the long term as most people I know don't even like running their CPUs above eighty degrees for a lengthy amount of time however when we move over to AMD Zen core architecture these are the cores going in the Rison 720 700 X for example we can see that AMD is utilizing smaller silicon die size areas and then interconnecting those by what they call the Infinity fabric this design itself has some great benefits especially when it comes to the likes of scaling as we've seen in their higher-end CPUs like the 29 50 X or even the 32 core 2990 WX for example also since the inherent die size is smaller they do benefit from running very efficiently and also very cool and so you don't need a massive cooler to keep these things under control as witnessed with the 2700 X and it's included cooler they also tend to run pretty cool in terms of their overall temperatures compared to the Intel counterparts however one disadvantage to this architecture of course is that there are increased latencies across the calls themselves they do have to talk across the Infinity fabric this does add up the more cause and thread you introduces seen in the 2990 WX AMD themselves are doing however a fantastic job of shrinking the note and also increasing the core counts as time progresses so ultimately though when it comes down to it the 2700 X is a big value play represent some of the best value we have seen in the CPU market ever and it comes so it being a very practical CPU with IPC that is so close to that of Intel it's not funny AMD also have their seven nanometer rising two chips ready for 2019 so that isn't that far away and we could possibly see a new king of main strain desktop lines when it comes to a PC when that drops but until then the 9900 K is the strange King that does come at a considerable cost if you need this extra speed and are willing to pay for it then be my guest but if value is your main concern then the 2700 X is the winner he'll anyway guys hope you enjoyed today's video if you did then be sure to hit that like button let me know in the comment section below which would you go for at the moment the I 999 hundred K or the Rison 720 700 X love reading your thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
