so it's finally time to give you guys the follow up video on the level 3 cache video that I recently did where I compared the Pentium versus the Xeon versus the i7 5820k and today I'll be more of a subjective based video over some dota 2 gameplay so I hope you guys enjoy welcome back to jackass City ladies and gentlemen this is brian coming back to yesterday with some gameplay commentary over some dota 2 so I hope you guys enjoyed this format I haven't done it at a long time but as I've said in the past this is just a quick and easy way for me to relay thoughts and opinions and today is gonna be one of those videos that's very subjective and I'm gonna talk about my multiplayer experience in particular with the Zeon versus the 5820k so that's more of a 8 megabytes versus 15 megabytes of level 3 cache there so hopefully this video should give you guys some extra thoughts and opinions though for what it's worth the on the intel side of things it certainly doesn't make too much of a difference and I'm gonna say straight up that my conclusion in the single-player benchmarks in that previous video did the conclusion will still stand for what it's worth that conclusion is rock-solid for the Intel side of things and one thing I'll clear out of the air straight away as well is that the AMD CPUs I have not tested them so I cannot give you guys a concrete recommendation there as some people in the comments are actually telling me that they're getting a much better experience on an FX CPU than they are on the Athlon CPUs and now the Athlon series if you guys didn't know have absolutely no level 3 cache on board so that's something to look out for there if you are getting an Athlon CPU and I mean what effect does this have on gaming I can't exactly tell you guys because again I haven't tried this CPU though where I think occasional level 3 cache makes more of a difference is in multiplayer games and this is because your CPU or generally on most gaming PC's is that the CPU is actually processing the IP packets that's the Internet Protocol packets that are being sent to and from your computer so this is actually going to take up some CPU resources as well and so level 3 cache will certainly help in that regard especially since the packets I'd imagine would be very repetitive so I think we're level 3 cache makes more of a difference would be in multiplayer games so I'm gonna talk to you guys now about my experience with World of Warcraft and that's the latest expansion warlords of Draenor which was released last year and so I had a good few months actually played this game on both the Xeon and the 5820k and what I noticed was and this was both on the GTX 970 at the same clock speed so what it's worth the differences between these computers there was only like ram speeds level 3 occasion you had a few more calls and threats but what a Warcraft doesn't really benefit all too much once you start going past 8 threads but for what it's worth this game ran a little bit better so this is we're going into that anal-retentive zone now and I'm sure you guys wouldn't happen anyway other way around tech yeah city brother but that's all good so I'm gonna go into these nitty-gritty details and you know for what it's worth these two CPUs the Xeon you know 1231 v3 and the 5820k they're pretty much two of the best CPUs you can get for gaming at the moment and Here I am critiquing but for what it's worth I noticed what when we're in very populated areas the Xeon would stutter so with the 5820k and I mean I'm sure any other CPU would when you go like 40 people you suddenly turn the screen and there's like 40 people on your screen and so what happened though with these little stutters or these little hiccups is I noticed that they were more noticeable on the Xeon than they were on the 5820k so you know and casian aleihi occasionally exhibit these hiccups and when it happened it was less noticeable on the 5820k and now i'm going to assume that that's due to the 5820k just having a lot more level 3 cache on the CPU itself so I think that's an area where it can make a difference in is in heavily populated multiplayer games for what it's worth and remember this was only happening probably once every five minutes or something like that it didn't happen all the time so again this all relates back to that conclusion that I made in the single-player benchmarks it should be a second priority thing there for what it's worth I think it did make a difference and I think level 3 cache can contribute to a more smoother gaming experience so I just thought I'd let you guys know that's what's happening with world of warcraft and the multiplayer games now I know there's gonna be people out there like what did you benchmark you know level 3 cache on multiplayer games and that's sort of venturing into the realm of hey there's gonna be variants and it's going to suck like benchmarking multiplayer games I mean I could attempt to do it if I had I guess a few guinea pigs who would just pretty much do the exact same thing in the benchmarks if they were willing to but that would be something I wish to explore but but for what it's worth benchmarking multiplayer games is actually very hard if you're trying to get a hundred percent accurate results like I do with the single-player benchmarks because all the variables are the same so I mean I could try and run some multiplayer benchmarks and see how it goes but for what it's worth I'm just going to give you guys my subjective opinion of playing World of Warcraft for a few months and so I think level cache level 3 cache does make a difference and it does matter though again with that conclusion it should be something that's the second priority your first priorities being the price of the CPU that CB the core and thread count and the clock speeds and the actual instructions per cycle or instructions per clock however you want to call it so that's up to you but anyway I guess I hope you enjoyed this video if what it's worth and if you did please give it a thumbs up now also again I'll read over Issei oh I will say again is that I haven't tested these things on the AMD side it could make much more of a difference I'm not too sure I'd love to get my hands on an AMD CPU though from what people say in the comments it does make more of a difference on the AMD side of things especially on the Athlon since you've got absolutely no level 3 cache there and so what impact that has on gaming and our frame rates not actual FPS actual frame rates are not sure so that's something that I would love to test though I don't have an FX CPU around here and I don't have an Athlon CP around here at the moment either and they don't even sell them in Japan like the names sell Apple TVs in Japan so I'm crap out of lockdown I have to order one in from the states as long like that so anyways what it's worth yeah I hope you enjoyed this video I'm just right rumbling and bumbling on now and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye aboutwell tech and gaming so it's gonna be cold tech gaming weekly and it's gonna be aired on Thursday mornings at 7:00 a.m. Australian Eastern Standard Time and I think that's like in America Wednesday afternoon I like about
