The Unboxing of the Intel Core i9-9900K: A Long Ramble and a Look at Press Samples

Over the past two years, I've had a few press samples of thermal paste on my hands. They're not exactly new, even though they come in pretty boxes that are sealed. The irony is that the boxes are sealed, but when you take the chip out, you can still see the residue of thermal paste around the edge of the chip where it was tested. This means I need to do something with these press samples, and unfortunately, I've found myself in a situation where I have more of them than I know what to do with.

As a YouTuber, I receive free motherboards as part of my press samples. While they're not exactly worth anything to me, since they're just going to sit on my shelf, I need to use them in some way or other. The problem is that I can't sell these because they're press samples, and they have zero value to me. They've already been tested, so there's no point in trying to resell them. Instead, I'm left with a bunch of unused motherboards, which is a bit frustrating.

To alleviate this problem, I decided to do something fun with my press samples. I unboxed the latest Intel Core i9-9900K processor and gave it a look around. As expected, the box was sealed, but when I cut through the plastic seal on the bottom, I found that the CPU was already out of the packaging. It looked like it had been opened before, which is a bit unusual for a press sample.

I know what you're all thinking: "Giveaway time!" and "Depress samples." And yes, those are both valid points. Press samples can sometimes be a mixed bag, and not everything I receive is worth sharing with my audience. However, in this case, I decided to make an exception and share the i9-9900K processor with you all.

The processor itself looks quite nice, with its hexagonal shape and sleek design. I'm not sure if you'll get one of these exact boxes when you buy your own i9-9900K, but it's worth noting that press samples can sometimes come in different packaging than retail units.

Before I move on to the benchmarks and testing, I just want to say a few things about this video. As always, be sure to comment down below, subscribe to my channel, and hit that notification bell icon for future videos. And if you're wondering why I'm talking so much, it's because I didn't expect us to go on a long ramble like this. But hey, sometimes things just happen, and I'm just happy to be here.

Now, let's get back to the i9-9900K processor itself. As you can see, it's already been tested and benchmarked, so I won't be doing any extensive testing of its own. However, I will be comparing it to some other processors that are similar in terms of performance and capabilities.

One such processor is the Risen 930, which has a reputation for being fast and powerful. I'll also be comparing the i9-9900K to the Risen 9X, which has been updated with new BIOS versions that bring out its full potential. I've already done some testing with these processors in the past, but since there have been several updates and revisions since then, I thought it would be worth doing some fresh benchmarking to see how they stack up.

Before I move on to the benchmarks, let me just put this processor away for now. As always, I appreciate your support and engagement with my channel. Being a YouTuber is not just about creating content; it's also about paying the bills and supporting myself and my family. So, thank you all for being part of our community and for watching my videos.

Finally, if you're wondering what happened to my other content, such as my Intel paper, I'll get to that soon enough. But for now, let's focus on the i9-9900K processor and see how it performs in some benchmarks.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome to tech deals today is a very special day because you have a two-in-one video the first part of this video is the unboxing and news event of the Intel I $9.99 hundred KS special edition 5 gigahertz all core turbo a core 16 thread coffee Lake refresh ninth generation CPU say that three times fast really fast if you can this is very cool and they sent it in a nice presentation box I'm gonna open this up in a minute and show you what it looks like spoiler alert it kind of looks like the non s chip but whatever we'll take a look at it we're also going to talk about the news we're gonna talk about its features and what makes it different from the non KS chip just the regular K and yes it's actually as we speak because I've already put it on here and tested it it's currently sitting on my test bench under this Noctua nhd 15 cooler before we get to that this video is sponsored by Skillshare Skillshare is an online learning community for

Skillshare is sponsoring this video you can sign up with the link in the video description below and you get to three months of unlimited access to every class on the site that's a deal okay now back to the video now there are no performance numbers in this video the unboxing and news embargo is lifting but the performance embargo will not release until October 30th at 6 a.m. Pacific time at which point a video will publish on to bond my channel and probably 14 other YouTube Oh Who am I kidding a hundred and forty other YouTube channels at the same time telling you what I can't tell you right now because it's still under embargo but that's not really why I hope you're here I mean it's cool it's nice you know I'm making a video but I'm using this as an excuse to talk to you about something that I personally consider to be more important and that is what our press samples what's a sponsorship and what are the relationships between tech companies and youtubers or the media the press in general interestingly enough when I first started making YouTube content and created a YouTube channel back in early 2016 my mindset was not on being a member of the press I thought of myself as an educator and just making interesting content on YouTube and okay I'll I'll make some videos and people will watch them and I'll make some ad money and people will click my affiliate links and they'll buy stuff and then that'll be fine I'm great then we'll see we'll see where this goes but at some point along the way you start to realize that you're not just testing one product or you're not just saying well here's the different cards and here's the benchmarks but you become a member of the media in the sense that you're reporting on news you're reporting on press announcements on product launches you're getting press releases I've got one sitting behind here you can't see at the moment with all the details of this and you start getting invited to events and you go to e3 and you get a press media credential badge and you're like wow I'm a media member person I didn't go to journalism school I guess there's people who went to college for this and they say you can't call yourself a journalist unless you have a journalism degree from college yeah well I don't know my badge at e3 said media so go figure in any case I'm honored I appreciate that because I hope that when you all watch content that I produce if I say this product does this this product is good this product is bad that you believe what I'm saying and this is true of the other major tech creators and if I leave anybody's name out in here it is not personal it's just can't rattle off everybody's name and I'm just sort of going to stick with the big ones you've got obviously Lana's tech tips J's $0.02 and those you've got Austin Evans you've got Hardware Canucks you've got gamers Nexus you've got but what you've got a pulse hardware and more channels of hardware unboxed in tech yes city well he does more use stuff but Brian still pretty cool I like him um there's so many different channels making this stuff all of those people to the best of my knowledge do it for a living and so they their income is dependent upon having continued viewership after all none of the sponsored stuff none of the YouTube ads is going to show up if there's no views on the video if the videos are not honest if the videos are not genuine I believe that viewers will will sense that fairly quickly if if the verrat the wording in a video if the results in the video does not match reality if there's an error and a mistake it happens but if it doesn't match reality on an ongoing basis you're all going to stop watching that creator and that creators income is going to go away and then they're gonna have to go do something else so integrity and honesty is a very important thing and so I'm using this unboxing embargo which I normally likes be honest that's kind of silly I mean that I wouldn't make a video on this at this point I probably would have two years ago earlier in my channel because I just needed content and the fact that Intel sent me a new shiny was kind of cool and I appreciate that thank you Intel I genuinely appreciate it but that's something else I want to talk about which is what happens when press samples arrive and how we respond to it and how we review it and how much information we share with the with the various companies I'm gonna give you a little bit of background into the process and my views on this and won't put any words into those other Creators but there was recently a bit of a dust-up over on reddit somebody posted claiming to be a youtuber and if I can find it I'll put it here on the screen it's possible I can't find it because I'm not a big reddit person but it got passed around on reddit then it got passed around on Twitter and a bunch of hubbub came from it essentially accusing several tech channels of secretly taking money to put product boxes in videos like behind videos like if I had shelves here several people have said why is your wall white why don't you put shelves back there well because this is how I'm doing it at the moment yes we probably need to redo the set but that's a topic for a different time but some other Creators have been accused of putting an Nvidia box or an Intel box or an AMD box back there and secretly taking payments in order to just sort of stealth promote the brand well let me tell you something first of all that's illegal if you accept money for sponsorship in any form of media you have to disclose it if you ever watch my videos that are sponsored it'll actually say sponsored by X are sponsored by Y and I'll say thank you very much to gigabyte or thank you very much to Skillshare thank you very much to whoever for sponsoring this video that is a Federal Trade Commission requirement it is a crime you can get in a lot of trouble and a few youtubers have for not disclosing when content is paid so to be absolutely clear the only time I'm being written a cheque is when those words sponsored appear in the video and then down at the video description I recently did some more Skillshare sponsors for example and it said thank you very much to Skillshare for sponsoring this video couldn't make it more clear that they wrote me a check and I'm greatly appreciative now that's where the sponsorship is and if somebody pays you money and you're making content for the public and you're not revealing it that is deceptive and that's a crime in the United States and frankly it's a crime in most of most of the world so that would be a very dangerous path to go down because you only have to get caught once and if you're caught and investigated you can be in a big pile of trouble because you don't want to get on the government's bad side now that's not press samples press samples are different than sponsorship and I'm gonna take the opportunity in this video to talk about that this is a press sample this video card is press sample this tower cooler is a press sample this video card came out of this box the two solid state drives on here and the Patriot ddr4 4000 here were not press samples so I don't get sent everything but sent some things and I make a point to disclose I recently did a series of video card videos for example and I pointed out which ones were samples and which ones weren't and I think a lot of people are surprised to find out how much stuff we still have to buy even the big channels even lenez tech tip still has to buy stuff they do get sent a lot of things Intel and AMD will shower them with CPUs but then they'll need another SSD or they'll need a case so they'll need something else and sometimes they get sent that stuff but you might be surprised occasionally they find it's easier to just buy a hundred dollar case or buy a fifty an hour power supply then to go and start another relationship and get something else sent it creates an obligation when you get sent stuff when you fir let me rewind for a second let me start back at the beginning because this might make more sense I've just I sort of started in the middle of the conversation yes we'll get to unboxing this if you actually came to see this unboxed it'll be later in the video hopefully most of you came here for my thoughts on press samples and sponsorships when I first started my channel I created the channel February 29 2016 we uploaded our first video in the middle of March of 2016 the first six months of the channel I uploaded dozens and dozens and dozens of video I want to say it was a hundred hundred and fifty videos I don't remember the exact number at this point them this is an unscripted video if you can't tell I'm doing this all off of my head it won't quite be in one take but it's pretty close to being I'm just talking and we'll just edit out the the brakes and the pauses from my thoughts so the first six months most of my videos got like 500 views a thousand views a few got two and three thousand views if you go back to look now you'll see some of them have like five and ten thousand views but that's because three years of occasionally getting views in three years of enthusiasts going back and watching my early videos to be amused at how bad they were compared to modern videos some would say they're still not great but whatever so you go back in time and you watch those they've gained a little bit of views over time but there was almost no views nobody was paying attention for the first six months to videos got my channel attention the which gtx 1060 and the i7 6700 K versus i7 6800 K the Broadwell a versus skylake video those two and then the launch videos of the 10 series of course kind of gave my channel to jump those it kicked me to another level and though those videos are what got me to 10,000 subscribers and sort of kicked me above say the 500 sub channels which don't get watched unless they get external links quite frankly nobody talked to me nobody paid attention to me nobody sent me anything I wasn't communicating with any companies every single thing you saw my channel up to that point I just had to buy to review and I poured a decent amount of money into the channel in those early days in order to try to kick-start it by the video cards to do comparisons by the CPUs and and the GPUs and by the memory and the SSDs and the hard drives and all the other stuff trying to create content I did several of things back then I did an external drive comparison and a few other things all of which I had to buy some of which got views and some of which didn't as we passed 2016 and started to get into 2017 I started to talk to some early companies now of course I got offered all of the the Bluetooth speakers and the and the wireless headphones from China that from a company you've never heard of and I took some of that initially and discovered very quickly none of it was worth the trouble on time they spam channels to the blue in the face and to this day I get two or three emails a day offering me free stuff from some company you've never heard of in Hong Kong saying we have a new wireless headphone would you please consider reviewing it we send you a free sample I don't want a free Bluetooth I know many of you would say sure I'd love to take it my integrity my personality my sense of honour will not let me take a free product unless I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do with it a couple of times I've dropped the ball and accepted a free product that didn't really get covered the way it should have been and to this day I can think of several of them that I feel bad about I I do it's just how I am and so I say no to a lot of that because it's not fair to use my channel to get them to spend money so I can have a shelf full of widgets that I'm never really going to cover properly that just that's not how I was built that's not how I was raised so that happened and then something happened that was probably the biggest single jump for the channel which was AMD finally reached out to me out of the blue I mean I you know I was emailing the companies but I wasn't getting any responses and then AMD emails me and says would you like to review the upcoming launch of the rise in CPUs that was a good day I will not lie to you I was jumping up and down for joy at that day I that was one of the best days in Leh I felt acknowledged I felt recognition my blood sweat and tears and the effort oh that was a happy day and I am NOT gonna make any two bones about the fact AMD reached out to me and said do you want to review our new launch CPU and I'm like yes I most certainly do all these smokes this is awesome it is awesome and if you start a YouTube channel and you start to get sent I mean it's one thing to get Bluetooth headphones it's another thing to have AMD or intolerant video or gigabyte or msi send out reach out to you and do this stuff so AMD sent me the press kit and that was an interesting launch because I was under a hundred thousand subs when that happened if memory serves I'm not looking at the numbers haven't looked at them for months at this point but the last time I looked my memory tells me I had 87 thousand subs when Rison launched in March of March 2nd of 2017 I believe it was that video went through the roof and the content I did afterwards went through the roof and that was a big big ton unfortunately that was also the time that I was moving out of my former office and moving back into my home because I got rid of my previous business because I shut it down to the YouTube full-time separate conversation so I didn't capitalize on it as well as I should have I content was rough throughout there because of that moving and setting up a new filming thing and condensing your space is always challenging I was excited that was cool and then once I did that a couple other companies started reaching out sigh reached out and said hey would you like to do a motherboard would you like to do with this we got a video card for you Wolff absolutely that's amazing don't kid yourself the first time you get sent something like this is a pretty amazing day MSI sent me the GTX 1080 TI duke the triple fan card that was in the was at the 2017 2000 our Cadillac build the i7 8700 K build that was amazing that's still my computer at home right now as I'm filming this in late 2019 that Cadillac build is still my computer at home I've done better build since I did the $3,000 Cadillac Platinum Bill I've done rising builds but it still does the job that 1080 TI duke that msi sent me is still in that computer at home because i don't get rid of press samples like that when they send me a card like that that's not only for my use now but for future comparisons and so I will take that card out of that machine when I circle back around I'm gonna do a gtx 980ti 1080 TI 20 80 TI video pretty soon and when I do that I'll grab that car down to my machine at home I'll bring it to the office I'll stick it on my test bench I'll run the benchmarks and then I'll take it out and take it back home well actually at this point on my 6:28 GM there who knows we'll see it's a great card that Duke has turned out to be really really nice the first time you get sent that is amazing I told you getting Verizon was amazing getting that's amazing I'm not gonna lie the exuberance is real the excitement is real and to be completely blunt if I were to tell you that I was 100% without bias in a couple of the early press sample videos I'd be lying to you because I'm sitting there with a seven or eight hundred dollar video card and a 300 dollar CPU and a thing and a thing and whatever from them and it's just really really cool and anybody who tells you it's not cool is pulling your leg it's really really cool the first time and the second time then at some point you have a shelf of video cards and you have a shelf of CPUs and you have a shelf of RAM and SSDs this is undeniably cool this is probably better than like everyone watching this is gaming CP this this is gonna be the new fastest gaming CPU in the world I can't tell you what the performance numbers are but come on it's a 5 gigahertz I $9.99 hundred K of course it's gonna be the fastest CPU in the world if you're watching this and you've got a three-year-old or five-year-old computer and somebody called you up and said hey we'll send you a free $500 CPU you'd probably be exuberant what if they offered to send you a second one and then a third one and then a fourth one and then a fifth one of swimming they're slightly different models now your first response might be holy Wow yeah of course I'd be excited I'll take them all I could use the money there's no money it there's no money changing hands here speaking of sponsored stuff I do want to go on the record and this is a legal thing in the United States I want to go categorically on the record Intel AMD and NVIDIA have never paid me for a video on my channel ever Intel paid me for one tweet once that was a tweet over on Twitter it was part of a marketing campaign they were doing it wasn't actually C be related interestingly enough so that happened but in terms of videos they've never paid me for a video they've never sponsored a video AMD's never sponsored a video and Nvidia's never sponsored a video other companies have and not just like Skillshare and dashlane and like those gigabyte sponsored a video a year ago for example but it was disclosed that's that sponsored by gigabyte right in the middle of the video and you'll always get that so I want to be absolutely clear if Intel sent you 5 CPUs you don't get to sell them there it's not money it's inventory it has to go on the shelf they're loaned to you and in fact the contract with many of these company states that this is not being given to you it is being loaned to you and must be returned upon request they consider it a loaner for tax purposes you aren't being given a gift you're being lent something so this isn't something I have to pay tax on and this isn't something that goes into my inventory and it's not something I can sell Intel has the right to ask for this back for example if they want to several other companies do it that way so you get very excited when you get sent your first one but your fifth one is now a video you have to make AMD recently sent me the rise in five 3600 which as of recording this I have not done anything with yet I'm sorry AMD I apologize profusely I'm slacking slow they sent me the rise in 530 400 G which I recently published a 55 minute long video with 20 benchmarks in the crap ton of detail in there and it was awesome that was a press sample that were sent to me in July I'm sorry AMD it was way late my apologies it was late everything else happened I got sick over the summer what can I say I also have the 3200 G from them and I also have the Athlon 2 to 200 GE 220 GE and 240 I don't know why they sent me all three of those there's no point those are two core for thread chips that they get three graphics and they sent me all three of them thank you I appreciate it but here's the funny thing they're sitting on the shelf and in my mind it's not money it's a job I'm sharing this with you because it's sort of first of all it gives me an excuse to cover this it gives me a reason to cover it but I'm sure a lot of you watch these videos and you see all this cool stuff that we get to play with and I remember not being a youtuber thinking man you just you'd never have to run out of stuff you always have the best computer and you never have to care you don't have to buy anything what a great deal that would be well it's not bad but once you've done the work necessary to get to the point to where they're sending these things to you it's not free I've worked my tail off to get to this point the hours and the energy and the money invested get to this point my filming studio the camera the microphone overhead the lights the desk this this desk that I'm filming on is a six-foot wide motorized desk that I can lift up and down for example yeah that was not 50 bucks I had to buy that I mean that's nobody's gonna send me that so it's a lot of work to get to this point so I am grateful to Intel for sending this to me it is cool but it's also just created a job because the embargo on this lifts on October 30th and I don't have to have a video ready so there's that you know interestingly enough as I'm sitting here recording this I'm just gonna share my live thoughts with you as I do this it occurs to me I could always make this a You Tube member and a floatplane dedicated video that might actually be an interesting video for our supporters for those of you curious floatplane is the subscription on the media service run by linus media group linked in the video description below it's $5 a month you get early access to videos I think there's 36 or 38 exclusive videos over there at the moment and no ads higher quality video etc it's very nice and then YouTube members if you see a join button next to the subscribe button hit that join button you'll get a page that pops up that lists all the stuff you get the custom emojis and you get the loyalty badge it'll show up in chat when we do live streams and whatnot it directly supports the channel unfortunately the $5 option here on YouTube does not get rid of ads I have expressed this directly to YouTube to my YouTube prep and said why if somebody is paying five bucks a month they shouldn't have to watch ads unfortunately I regret to inform you at least as a recording this video hitting the join button and paying $5 on YouTube just nothing get rid of ads sorry but it does give you access to the exclusive videos that are uploaded to YouTube there's a playlist of all the member only videos which you can watch if you join and so maybe uh I don't know after I edit this all decide whether or not to make it member exclusive or not if you're watching this on YouTube in general then I didn't if you're not then I did so there's that interestingly enough my original plan when I started this video was I was gonna make a bit of a joke talking about the fact that you know this is not sponsored because I have a blue shirt on and I've got the Intel box in front of me and I was gonna say there's no way in shape and form that could ever possibly have any you know sponsorship with Intel and then I was going to drink from my Intel mug which has been sitting there the whole time by the way it's not a little bit cold because I don't have it on hot plate but then I decided it was a bit too on-the-nose so I didn't do that at the beginning of the video I did however put a blue shirt on because I was originally intending to do that if I put a blue shirt on I'll drink from my Intel mug and it'll be funny unfortunately too many people do not get it sarcasm and do not get jokes and they'll take it seriously and they'll run off into left field like oh my god see it's proof he's a show shills are an interesting topic a lot of people throughout the term show I've been called a show recently on my video card videos interestingly enough I've recently done a bunch of video card videos where I do I did the RT X 2060 super versus the rx 5,700 XT Navi they're both four hundred hour cards in fact I tested the exact same model from gigabyte which thank you gigabyte for sending me both of those cards we appreciate it but of course I got sent both the samples so I'm not biased in that regard of course they didn't come from AMD or Nvidia anyway they came from gigabyte whatever but so I tested them and I played with them and on the games that I tested the RX Navi was 6% faster on average than the RT X 2060 now let's some other games it's actually faster it's sometimes it's 10 to 15% faster on some games and it's dead even on others it just depends upon what kind of games that you're playing and I commented in that video that if I were spending my own money I'm not a youtuber I'm not a reviewer I'm going out to buy a video card that I'm gonna put into my personal computer and I'm gonna use day after day after day I would buy the RT X 2060 super and there were a lot of comments beneath that video going up blood heck it's in a video she'll really okay why because I express her preference because I didn't express your preference because I said that the card that was six maybe 10% slower is the one I would buy for the same money here's the thing in that video I gave the reasons rate racing tensor course Nvidia and ven C encoder for better or worse whether it's the hardware encoder or the drivers or the software or whatever if you are recording video or live streaming NVIDIA has a better hardware encoder than AMD does they just do it uses less of the card it's higher quality it's more reliable I've played around with video encoding on the AMD cards and it's just been a very hit and miss unpleasant experience so Nvidia has a superior solution their NVIDIA has RT cores for ray tracing and they have tensor cores which are different than retracing course are they being heavily used in games and programs right now no will they be in the future I believe so will it matter on a $400 20 60 super I don't know but if I was buying a 20 60 super I'd be doing it to play at 1080p which is a separate conversation because I know a lot of people say it's a 1440p card but no it's not um I mean it is limited today but not for three years it's not if you want a three year card that's a 1080p card so I would buy a 2060 Super with my own money based upon what I know today over the past 20 plus years I've owned a lot of AMD cards I've owned a lot of him video cards both companies have had hits and both companies have had misses the HD 5000 series I had an HD 5850 for example for its time it was a great card I don't regret that one the r9 series the r9 290x and 295x2 s and whatnot yeah actually replaced my 200 series r9 card with a gtx 980ti and that was a nice day that was a nice improvement AMD was having troubles with micro stutter and frame pacing and drivers at that point in time and the Nvidia solutions what's the 900 series 700 was good but what's the 900 series cards came out that it sort of took off from there but I've seen good and bad I mean Fermi I mean look back at firming at the 400 series from Nvidia Oh terrible GTX 480 versus or a 580 versus the the 4,000 5,000 series from AMD so AMD's had some some good periods and if vidi has had probably more good periods than AMD has because let's face it nvidia sells three cards for every one AMD sells for a reason but based upon current drivers and current features that's my answer ok this is getting along winded so people call me a shell because of my choice I'm allowed to have my choice if I can back it up with a reason you may not agree with that reason but if I can back it up with the reason then it makes sense take the i9 forget this chip because I can't discuss its performance take the standard I 999 hundred K versus a rise in 930 900 X ok the i9 is faster in gaming the rise in 9 is faster in multi-threaded performance which one you should buy depends upon what you're doing these are choices bad neither choice this is like arguing Ford versus Chevy and you'll get some diehard Ford people and some diehard Chevy people who will put their foot in the sand and say well if you like Chevy you're an idiot well if you like Ford you're an idiot what the both companies have made fine cars over the years both companies have made bad cars over the years Ford Pinto anybody so I mean there's but I drive a Ford today so there's that and I drove a Chevy um in the past and whatever I don't care I just want whatever's good and so that's why I currently drive before it was a good deal I'm not maybe as brand loyal as some some people are hard like you know not in our household we're not gonna have that I think that's a bit harsh but now people are funny so as far as being a shill let me just say unequivocally that we live in great times we're for the most part you have great options not on GPUs on the high end this frankly has no competition from AMD the RT X xx ATT I just there's just nothing from a MB to even remotely touch it if you want the best if you want super high frame rates if you want 4k gaming you found your new video card man that's all that is expensive I'll be absolutely Nvidia is charging a premium price you want the Lexus of video cards you want the loo of a ton of handbags you want though I was gonna say rolls-royce of cars but I guess that would be the RT X Titan do you want the Rolex watch of video cards you'll pay for it you know it's an interesting thing people seem to say there seems to be an expectation that the highest end product should follow literally with price to performance with the low end cards it's like well if this card is twice the price of a r-tx 2060 super or twice the performance of an RTX 2060 super then it can't be more than twice the price or it's a bad deal that's not how products work if you want the best you pay a premium for it a Ferrari is not three times the performance of a Corvette or a Dodge demon or a Dodge Viper or pick your hundred thousand dollar sports car a three hundred thousand dollar Ferrari is 300 grand because it's a Ferrari frankly the new c8 Corvette may not perform quite a few Ferraris that's sub zero to sixty sub zero to sixty times okay huh have my video editor but a beep in there and we'll just rewind zero to sixty times under three seconds on this sixty five thousand dollar version of that car Wow performance for the money and it looks amazing with a mid-engine I mean I haven't I don't know if it's any good it's been years since I've ever even sat in a Corvette but it it looks good the performance numbers sound amazing but at 65 grand well it'll probably be 75 or 85 grand by the time you check the option boxes and get the heated and cooled seats in the nav and everything else but whatever it'll be under a hundred grand for a sub three second zero to 60 Corvette with a mid-engine Wow and yet Ferrari will probably sell every $300,000 car they build and they probably have a waiting list six months long because it's a Ferrari expecting this to be a deal is not realistic just because you want it to be cheap doesn't being frankly hill of beans so it is what it is what does thrall want to say about sponsors I debated filling up the entire desk with products just to make the point but I thought damn that's overkill I don't have to do that this is if you can see it you probably can't this is a Athlon 220 GE it's the middle CPU two cores four threads 3.4 gigahertz ok the 240 GE is 3.5 gigahertz in fact you can still see the CPUs in there because I haven't done anything with it I have tested the 240 GE I will have a video on that shortly I debated testing the 220 GE and the 200 GE but why they're so close and performance it's utterly trivial the only real difference is like 100 or 200 megahertz CPU clock speed difference the bible-- all have Vega 3 graphics so you get sent this and you think well that's really nice but now it's content I have to make what I wish I had done is told AMD look just send me one I don't need all of them that's that's that's silly but well they didn't well there it is this is a very cool cooler I'm looking forward to reviewing it this is the cooler air master maker ma 620 M bad name cool product well I assume it's a cool product I haven't tested it yet but what they've done is they've taken the basic design from the Wraiths Ripper and applied it to normal normal CPUs it's expensive at $100 and actually it's still in there because I haven't taken it out yeah but coolermaster sent that to me to review and the reason I'm excited to review it the number one feature about this that I really really am looking forward to is easy mounting previous Coolermaster coolers have awful mounting systems and the in fact I did a build video where I spent 20 or 30 minutes screwing around with the awful cooling system the awful mounting system on the tr4 cooler master cooler that went on to the 29 50 X in fact if memory serves that's where that went oh if you watch the build up that I got into a bit of a rant complaining about how awful the mounting system was and I and that was a private press sample Coolermaster sent me that and I specifically said in the video yeah no nobody buy this it's awful in fairness to Coolermaster they responded favorably because I didn't completely trash them in the video I mean I basically said look you know it's this this was a big fat pain in the neck they've now changed it this is a to screw mounting system so I'm actually excited to cover that but now I have to test it in video it and because it's got our GB I really need to do some b-roll on it I've now got like two days of work to make this all into a pretty video for a cooler I didn't need and so press samples are cool but it's just a job now it's cool intellectually this is the problem with unscripted videos I ramble you should listen to the conversations with me and my wife sometimes she's like I have to go do the dishes and laundry now and I'm like why and she cuz cuz I'm full cuz you've talked for 20 minutes oh all ragging on there mounting system aside two screws simple installation single fan in the middle mounts on everything except two tr4 cuz that's what the Raith Rovers for I'm actually excited about it the only promise to price it's 100 bucks it's too expensive if it were $70 I'd be really thrilled with it but if you want ease of mounting this may be this may be your cooler this will actually end up going into one of my wife's computers because she complains that the Wraiths prism RGB coolers on AMD are too loud because that's what she's currently got on her 3700 X sorry Intel but she does the Wraith spire coolers are nice but the wraith prisms are not so we're gonna replace the Wraith prism with this and make it nice and sweet i may have her in that video and have her give you her personal point of view in terms of going from one to the other just from a computer user not benchmarks or tests or noise samples or recordings or anything else but just like honey okay you tell the audience what do you think you know was it good was it bad did you notice the difference and just let her talk so that's that's the plan with that any case so I have my intel news byte under embargo until Monday October 28 2019 at 6 a.m. Pacific time what's the sama back there some I love to tell you that I assume I'm allowed to say that maybe not I'll have to ask them if I can disclose that because that's this is the Intel News byte and this says Intel confidential it says performance pressure views embargo until Wednesday October 30 2019 at 6 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time o 6 a.m. Pacific time I'll be good not to screw that up I thought it was Eastern Time so what does this say I'll put that aside there what's new Intel today announced full details availability for the new 9th generation Intel Core i $9.99 hundred KS special edition processor delivering up to 5 gigahertz all core turbo speed out of the box for the ultimate gaming experience the 9th gen Intel Core i $9.99 hundred KS will be available beginning october 30th with recommended customer pricing starting at five hundred and thirteen dollars Intel I love you but Wednesday Thursday Friday okay so the non KS chip the K chip was a recommended price of 488 it was higher than that at launch but it quickly came down Orwell was unavailable for a while but it's currently available about 490 480 490 why why why why this actually makes my head hurt why would you ever make a product ever anywhere in retail for 513 it's an odd number in fact all three digits are odd numbers five one three are odd digits why would you break the five-minute $4.99 why would you just don't make it $4.99 just be normal I mean in tow I mean AMD launched the the Rison 930 900 X at $4.99 of course it hasn't been $4.99 much it's higher but that's it is what it is free advice to Intel take the I $9.99 hundred K and lower the price to 449 release this at $4.99 make the i7 9700 K 349 which that's except we won't talk about hyper threading and all that make that 349 make the i5 I guess you can make it 249 $1.99 would be more interesting I don't know that's a separate conversation the entire retail world works in $1.99 $2.99 399 $4.99 and $5.99 that's just how the world works why would you release this at 5:13 that's this special edition processor will be available for a limited time only and can be found at retailers worldwide this is not a replacement for the K chip it is a limited edition it will come it will go the regular K chip will stay if you want one of these don't wait for sales and discounts it's kind of like the I 7a 86 K that was released a year ago it came it went it was gone so if you're interested in this get one why it's important the i9 9900 k processor a KS processor k is unlocked and boast eight cords eight cores and 16 threads and up to four gigahertz base frequency a hundred and twenty seven watt TDP sixteen megabytes of Intel smart cache and up to forty platform PCI Express Lanes for gaming and overclocking key features and capabilities I'm just gonna read these we're gonna have some fun together up to five gigahertz all core turbo frequency up to four gigahertz base frequency which allows games to run faster when they scale across more cores for higher frame rates that's true I read all that compatible with existing Z 390 motherboards this will work on a Z 370 but it's ideal on a Z 390 whatever that means up to 27% faster mega tasking when you simultaneously gamestream and record compared with a three-year-old PC I could it be frank with you 27% more speed over three years is not impressive I became an adult in the nineties I grew up in the 80s I remember the the 286 to 386 246 to Pentium transition you didn't have 27% more speed in three years your computer was junked in three years 1991 we had a 386 DX 25 which was pretty nice for 91 we spent almost 3 grand with that with gateway 2000 was the 386 DX 25 with 4 megabytes of RAM and 85 megabyte Western Digital caviar IDE hard drive a Texan labs et 4000 video card a 14-inch super VGA color monitor three and a half and a five and a quarter inch floppy drive that was a nice nice computer for 1991 there's nearly three grand two years later in 93 it was basically obsolete strike commander Falcon 3.0 I mean they would run on the 386 but it was rough there was a bunch of games that came out 92 93 that just really were rough so we went big we thought okay well I mean I was fairly young at the time mom mom and grandfather helped with the price because it was expensive but with okay forget this because we'd already had to do some upgrades we had already added to add some storage we added 130 gig Seagate IDE hard drive for 400 bucks in 92 we had a tape drive we added a we upgraded the modem from 2400 baud to a 14-4 modem gateway had a really good special for $95 which was unbelief $195 195 remember anyway it was an amazing deal for the time six times faster speed that was absolutely amazing for the time so by 93 it was just not cutting it anymore the drives were completely full the performance with the 25 megahertz processor wasn't there and so we went into computer shopper remember the big huge computer shopper magazine and we found a company called Ares which I don't know whatever happened to them they were a small company and we had a custom-built machine made for us there was nearly five thousand dollars which 1993 and 2019 money it's not quite 10 grand but it's like nine yeah how many are you building 9000 our computers today that was expensive it was a 486 DX 266 was 16 megabytes of RAM we had a one gigabyte fast Guzzi to hard drive because IDE had not yet broken the 540 megabyte limit so the one gigabyte hard drive the motherboard had eisah ISA and VLB ports anybody remember Issa enhance indicated architecture and VESA local bus the video card was a visa vis of the elbe a VESA local bus card and the scuzzy card was an ISA it was originally supposed to be a VOB car but actually they contacted us in testing and let us know that they were having compatibility problems with having to VLB cards installed and so they switched over to an ISA skuzzy card just to avoid the compatibility issues we had a sound Buster 16 and what else was in that we had a 15 inch super VGA or xgx it was a 1024 by 768 non-interlaced remember interlaced monitors that was a 1024 by 768 non-interlaced 15-inch super vga color monitor and probably a few other things I can't remember at this point nearly 5 grand sweet right great two years later Windows 95 came out no windows 95 would run on the 46 not well yeah I had an intern machine I won't get into the rest of these ossicles videos already so long as it is but in short I briefly had a next-gen 5 x86 P 100 which AMD bought and turned into their later chips long story about what happened next gen and that got replaced with any year because it really wasn't very good because of compatibility issues in 96 I got a penny in 166 and then it gets kind of fuzzy after that because I did it started doing a lot of upgrades because I was in the computer business at that point and so basically my my system was constant it never stayed static at that point because by that point I was an adult I had a computer business and I was doing upgrades for other people and so I used that to constantly cycle new stuff into my machine but I know I had a seller on 300a at one point overclocked to four hundred and fifty megahertz on a BX motherboard that was awesome and I know had a Pentium 3 550 which didn't do much over the Celeron 300 a at 450 but it didn't really cost me anything because I was swapping part so whatever and then I had a cedar 700 or 733 and then I switched to a phone when Athlon hit a Giga hurt before Intel I had one of those and then I had one of the sundar Birds the t-birds and then an Athlon XP and the IDA AMD chips from that point all the way up to the Core 2 Duo which kind of crush the apple online but that's a story for another day why am I telling you all this uh because the entire point of this rambling see this is the problem of not scripting videos as this happens the point is in the 90s your computer was junk in three years and that's not true anymore 27 percent that's 27 percent faster performance when you simultaneously game stream and record compared to a three-year-old PC that is a very specific scenario to claim a twenty seven percent performance jump over three years I'm gonna be blunt that's sad that's legit awful it should have doubled up to thirty five percent more frames per second compared to a three-year-old PC yeah but that's probably also taking into account a 1080 Ti and a three-year-old PC and a twenty-eight ETI here which the video card is doing all that up to seventeen percent faster 4k video editing compared to the previous generation and up to 78% faster compared with a three-year-old PC well I hope so it's got eight cores three-year-old PC had four cores if you go from four to eight goers that's going to happen mmm pay no attention to rise and unthread ripper one year what a one year warranty a one a one I'm legit I'm legit surprised this is the first I've actually read this a one year okay I mean if the CPU works for three days it works forever you know so long as you're not like you know pumping way too much voltage into it or overclocking it way beyond saying or doing ln2 and stupid stuff to it I mean if you run it at stock speeds at five gigahertz this will last forever but forevers a long time but it'll last longer than you'll care about but one year come on that's cheesy overclock confidently with new and enhanced features like Intel performance Maximizer which makes it I can't discuss performance you know wave today's for that gamers and overclocking enthusiasts will be able to take performance to the max with the ninth gen Intel Core only select chips from Intel wafers can achieve this drone all quantity is limited for the special edition product for more information etc well before you guys I wonder what Intel's gonna say about having an AMD product in their video well they didn't pay me so you know I can do what I want as I drink from my Intel coffee mug hey AMD send me an AMD coffee mug why have you guys not sent me an AMD coffee mug gigabyte why haven't you sent me a coffee mug attention all product companies I drink three or four cups of coffee a day send me coffee mugs I will drink from them I think it's time to unbox I know what I was going to do I was gonna mention that these are press samples this is a z3 90 horas pro Wi-Fi that I have not done anything with yet they sent this to me Wow you know what they sent this to me when the K launched this has been on the shelf for a while for those I've done absolutely I'm so sorry gigabyte but yeah it's um it's been in the box since they sent it to me and then MSI sent me this the mag Z 390 gaming Pro carbon which these aren't new boards by the way when they send these this is the media sample performance qualification which lists what they put in here this was tested let's see here this was tested with an i7 9700 K I don't know why but it was it was tested with ddr4 2666 so they did not test XMP ram it was tested with a 1080 TI a samsung 850 pro SSD that's odd Windows 10 interesting that they actually listed the benchmark results that they got on it list so when they tested this was tested September 20th 2018 is when this board was tested where does it actually say up here dear editor yes we do get this um we get sent all kinds of stuff with performance Intel for example sent me a page with what to expect in the benchmark numbers on this 99 hundred KS yeah I promptly took it when I don't care I'm testing it myself I don't I don't accept benchmark numbers from the manufacturer and then just regurgitate them I'm not free PR well I guess I am free PR for them but I'm not going to just regurgitate their numbers without testing them so I I briefly glanced at it and went that's nice so this actually has a bunch of information which I never looked at because I don't care yeah it's it's they actually provided benchmark numbers with this but I don't I don't I don't look at those it looks nice but this has how to CPU on it and this has been tested and the CPUs we get often aren't new either they've been tested as well in fact um most of the rise in CPUs that I have received over the past two years still have residues of thermal paste on them so they're not new even though they come in a pretty box they're not in and they're sealed the irony is the boxes are sealed but when you take the chip out you can just see just around the edge of the chip the thermal paste where they were tested so I need to do something with these but you see if you guys are thinking well you got some free motherboards I guess but again like I said earlier I can't sell these these are press samples these have zero value to me because they have to sit on the shelf and I have to do something with them in a video but the problem is you end up with more of them than you can ever use and so you end up with a shelf full of them so there's that I know what you're all gonna say giveaway time depress samples they're not for that either ok grand event time we're gonna do the unboxing of the i99 ok it's this the dumbest thing ever at this point are you ready drumroll please I should really have like the camera zoomed in and set it up but I can't be bothered so I'm not going to how do you over there we go come on we'll get in there you shiny this is a slightly different variation of the same hexagon shape that the regular K comes in I'll push that aside kiss do keep in mind that when you buy one to the best of my knowledge you do not get one of these boxes you just get this I do not this is a press thing I believe now you may notice this is already opened the CPU is on here once you cut the seal that's on the bottom you then take that off this separates like so which is just two pieces of plastic it's nice looking plastic and then in here is where the CPU would be but it's not because it's on here I've already done all the benchmarking and testing I did them last week so if you're watching this on October 28th come back October 30 for the benchmarks and numbers I'll offer you this thought it is an ion line 9900 k with a 5 gigahertz all core turbo I will discuss performance relative to the regular K chip I will discuss performance relative to the Raisa 930 900 X which I have retested with the latest bios with power boost overdrive on because my launch benchmarks on the Rison 9 probably shouldn't be used at this point because there's been like four BIOS update since then with several revisions and some improvements to the boost speed whatnot so I retested rising 9 for this and I'll have some benchmarks off gaming and non gaming benchmarks for you on October 30th and beyond that now I get to put this thing back together again but for the moment I'll just leave it just like that in any case as always like this video comment down below make sure that you're subscribed hit that Bell notification icon for notification for future videos this has been a long ramble I did not expect us to go like this so if you're watching this thanks for hanging out watching this otherwise silly video off to find out from in telleth or not I can put that other thing in there not if there was nothing in there about the Intel paper then I couldn't and if there was then you know what I'm talking about thank you all so much for being fans and supporters and for watching my channel and if you're being a member of the deal nation community all business issues aside all of Philly at length said revenue and income and sponsorships and product samples and everything else aside I love technology and I've been tinkering with the stuff for a long time personally I geek out at the stuff I legitimately do but it is also my job this is what I do for a living this is my full-time career this is how I pay for my mortgage and pay for food for my kids and so it is work and it is a job and it is important to me in that regard but it is also very cool so there's a benefit there and I certainly do appreciate it and I recognize that there's a lot of channels on YouTube you can launch besides this one and the fact that you choose to spend your time with me is greatly appreciated or floatplane if you're watching this hunt flow although if this will not be early access on floatplane because of the embargo the one big thing I cannot do early access on because embargo means embargo so this won't go up any earlier on pull playing that well on YouTube because I have to respect the rules I signed the paper I agreed the thing and so it is what it is in any case thank you so much for being a member of our family at least while you're watching our videos and I will see all of you next timehello and welcome to tech deals today is a very special day because you have a two-in-one video the first part of this video is the unboxing and news event of the Intel I $9.99 hundred KS special edition 5 gigahertz all core turbo a core 16 thread coffee Lake refresh ninth generation CPU say that three times fast really fast if you can this is very cool and they sent it in a nice presentation box I'm gonna open this up in a minute and show you what it looks like spoiler alert it kind of looks like the non s chip but whatever we'll take a look at it we're also going to talk about the news we're gonna talk about its features and what makes it different from the non KS chip just the regular K and yes it's actually as we speak because I've already put it on here and tested it it's currently sitting on my test bench under this Noctua nhd 15 cooler before we get to that this video is sponsored by Skillshare

the site that's a deal okay now back to the video now there are no performance numbers in this video the unboxing and news embargo is lifting but the performance embargo will not release until October 30th at 6 a.m. Pacific time at which point a video will publish on to bond my channel and probably 14 other YouTube Oh Who am I kidding a hundred and forty other YouTube channels at the same time telling you what I can't tell you right now because it's still under embargo but that's not really why I hope you're here I mean it's cool it's nice you know I'm making a video but I'm using this as an excuse to talk to you about something that I personally consider to be more important and that is what our press samples what's a sponsorship and what are the relationships between tech companies and youtubers or the media the press in general interestingly enough when I first started making YouTube content and created a YouTube channel back in early 2016 my mindset was not on being a member of the press I thought of myself as an educator and just making interesting content on YouTube and okay I'll I'll make some videos and people will watch them and I'll make some ad money and people will click my affiliate links and they'll buy stuff and then that'll be fine I'm great then we'll see we'll see where this goes but at some point along the way you start to realize that you're not just testing one product or you're not just saying well here's the different cards and here's the benchmarks but you become a member of the media in the sense that you're reporting on news you're reporting on press announcements on product launches you're getting press releases I've got one sitting behind here you can't see at the moment with all the details of this and you start getting invited to events and you go to e3 and you get a press media credential badge and you're like wow I'm a media member person I didn't go to journalism school I guess there's people who went to college for this and they say you can't call yourself a journalist unless you have a journalism degree from college yeah well I don't know my badge at e3 said media so go figure in any case I'm honored I appreciate that because I hope that when you all watch content that I produce if I say this product does this this product is good this product is bad that you believe what I'm saying and this is true of the other major tech creators and if I leave anybody's name out in here it is not personal it's just can't rattle off everybody's name and I'm just sort of going to stick with the big ones you've got obviously Lana's tech tips J's $0.02 and those you've got Austin Evans you've got Hardware Canucks you've got gamers Nexus you've got but what you've got a pulse hardware and more channels of hardware unboxed in tech yes city well he does more use stuff but Brian still pretty cool I like him um there's so many different channels making this stuff all of those people to the best of my knowledge do it for a living and so they their income is dependent upon having continued viewership after all none of the sponsored stuff none of the YouTube ads is going to show up if there's no views on the video if the videos are not honest if the videos are not genuine I believe that viewers will will sense that fairly quickly if if the verrat the wording in a video if the results in the video does not match reality if there's an error and a mistake it happens but if it doesn't match reality on an ongoing basis you're all going to stop watching that creator and that creators income is going to go away and then they're gonna have to go do something else so integrity and honesty is a very important thing and so I'm using this unboxing embargo which I normally likes be honest that's kind of silly I mean that I wouldn't make a video on this at this point I probably would have two years ago earlier in my channel because I just needed content and the fact that Intel sent me a new shiny was kind of cool and I appreciate that thank you Intel I genuinely appreciate it but that's something else I want to talk about which is what happens when press samples arrive and how we respond to it and how we review it and how much information we share with the with the various companies I'm gonna give you a little bit of background into the process and my views on this and won't put any words into those other Creators but there was recently a bit of a dust-up over on reddit somebody posted claiming to be a youtuber and if I can find it I'll put it here on the screen it's possible I can't find it because I'm not a big reddit person but it got passed around on reddit then it got passed around on Twitter and a bunch of hubbub came from it essentially accusing several tech channels of secretly taking money to put product boxes in videos like behind videos like if I had shelves here several people have said why is your wall white why don't you put shelves back there well because this is how I'm doing it at the moment yes we probably need to redo the set but that's a topic for a different time but some other Creators have been accused of putting an Nvidia box or an Intel box or an AMD box back there and secretly taking payments in order to just sort of stealth promote the brand well let me tell you something first of all that's illegal if you accept money for sponsorship in any form of media you have to disclose it if you ever watch my videos that are sponsored it'll actually say sponsored by X are sponsored by Y and I'll say thank you very much to gigabyte or thank you very much to Skillshare thank you very much to whoever for sponsoring this video that is a Federal Trade Commission requirement it is a crime you can get in a lot of trouble and a few youtubers have for not disclosing when content is paid so to be absolutely clear the only time I'm being written a cheque is when those words sponsored appear in the video and then down at the video description I recently did some more Skillshare sponsors for example and it said thank you very much to Skillshare for sponsoring this video couldn't make it more clear that they wrote me a check and I'm greatly appreciative now that's where the sponsorship is and if somebody pays you money and you're making content for the public and you're not revealing it that is deceptive and that's a crime in the United States and frankly it's a crime in most of most of the world so that would be a very dangerous path to go down because you only have to get caught once and if you're caught and investigated you can be in a big pile of trouble because you don't want to get on the government's bad side now that's not press samples press samples are different than sponsorship and I'm gonna take the opportunity in this video to talk about that this is a press sample this video card is press sample this tower cooler is a press sample this video card came out of this box the two solid state drives on here and the Patriot ddr4 4000 here were not press samples so I don't get sent everything but sent some things and I make a point to disclose I recently did a series of video card videos for example and I pointed out which ones were samples and which ones weren't and I think a lot of people are surprised to find out how much stuff we still have to buy even the big channels even lenez tech tip still has to buy stuff they do get sent a lot of things Intel and AMD will shower them with CPUs but then they'll need another SSD or they'll need a case so they'll need something else and sometimes they get sent that stuff but you might be surprised occasionally they find it's easier to just buy a hundred dollar case or buy a fifty an hour power supply then to go and start another relationship and get something else sent it creates an obligation when you get sent stuff when you fir let me rewind for a second let me start back at the beginning because this might make more sense I've just I sort of started in the middle of the conversation yes we'll get to unboxing this if you actually came to see this unboxed it'll be later in the video hopefully most of you came here for my thoughts on press samples and sponsorships when I first started my channel I created the channel February 29 2016 we uploaded our first video in the middle of March of 2016 the first six months of the channel I uploaded dozens and dozens and dozens of video I want to say it was a hundred hundred and fifty videos I don't remember the exact number at this point them this is an unscripted video if you can't tell I'm doing this all off of my head it won't quite be in one take but it's pretty close to being I'm just talking and we'll just edit out the the brakes and the pauses from my thoughts so the first six months most of my videos got like 500 views a thousand views a few got two and three thousand views if you go back to look now you'll see some of them have like five and ten thousand views but that's because three years of occasionally getting views in three years of enthusiasts going back and watching my early videos to be amused at how bad they were compared to modern videos some would say they're still not great but whatever so you go back in time and you watch those they've gained a little bit of views over time but there was almost no views nobody was paying attention for the first six months to videos got my channel attention the which gtx 1060 and the i7 6700 K versus i7 6800 K the Broadwell a versus skylake video those two and then the launch videos of the 10 series of course kind of gave my channel to jump those it kicked me to another level and though those videos are what got me to 10,000 subscribers and sort of kicked me above say the 500 sub channels which don't get watched unless they get external links quite frankly nobody talked to me nobody paid attention to me nobody sent me anything I wasn't communicating with any companies every single thing you saw my channel up to that point I just had to buy to review and I poured a decent amount of money into the channel in those early days in order to try to kick-start it by the video cards to do comparisons by the CPUs and and the GPUs and by the memory and the SSDs and the hard drives and all the other stuff trying to create content I did several of things back then I did an external drive comparison and a few other things all of which I had to buy some of which got views and some of which didn't as we passed 2016 and started to get into 2017 I started to talk to some early companies now of course I got offered all of the the Bluetooth speakers and the and the wireless headphones from China that from a company you've never heard of and I took some of that initially and discovered very quickly none of it was worth the trouble on time they spam channels to the blue in the face and to this day I get two or three emails a day offering me free stuff from some company you've never heard of in Hong Kong saying we have a new wireless headphone would you please consider reviewing it we send you a free sample I don't want a free Bluetooth I know many of you would say sure I'd love to take it my integrity my personality my sense of honour will not let me take a free product unless I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do with it a couple of times I've dropped the ball and accepted a free product that didn't really get covered the way it should have been and to this day I can think of several of them that I feel bad about I I do it's just how I am and so I say no to a lot of that because it's not fair to use my channel to get them to spend money so I can have a shelf full of widgets that I'm never really going to cover properly that just that's not how I was built that's not how I was raised so that happened and then something happened that was probably the biggest single jump for the channel which was AMD finally reached out to me out of the blue I mean I you know I was emailing the companies but I wasn't getting any responses and then AMD emails me and says would you like to review the upcoming launch of the rise in CPUs that was a good day I will not lie to you I was jumping up and down for joy at that day I that was one of the best days in Leh I felt acknowledged I felt recognition my blood sweat and tears and the effort oh that was a happy day and I am NOT gonna make any two bones about the fact AMD reached out to me and said do you want to review our new launch CPU and I'm like yes I most certainly do all these smokes this is awesome it is awesome and if you start a YouTube channel and you start to get sent I mean it's one thing to get Bluetooth headphones it's another thing to have AMD or intolerant video or gigabyte or msi send out reach out to you and do this stuff so AMD sent me the press kit and that was an interesting launch because I was under a hundred thousand subs when that happened if memory serves I'm not looking at the numbers haven't looked at them for months at this point but the last time I looked my memory tells me I had 87 thousand subs when Rison launched in March of March 2nd of 2017 I believe it was that video went through the roof and the content I did afterwards went through the roof and that was a big big ton unfortunately that was also the time that I was moving out of my former office and moving back into my home because I got rid of my previous business because I shut it down to the YouTube full-time separate conversation so I didn't capitalize on it as well as I should have I content was rough throughout there because of that moving and setting up a new filming thing and condensing your space is always challenging I was excited that was cool and then once I did that a couple other companies started reaching out sigh reached out and said hey would you like to do a motherboard would you like to do with this we got a video card for you Wolff absolutely that's amazing don't kid yourself the first time you get sent something like this is a pretty amazing day MSI sent me the GTX 1080 TI duke the triple fan card that was in the was at the 2017 2000 our Cadillac build the i7 8700 K build that was amazing that's still my computer at home right now as I'm filming this in late 2019 that Cadillac build is still my computer at home I've done better build since I did the $3,000 Cadillac Platinum Bill I've done rising builds but it still does the job that 1080 TI duke that msi sent me is still in that computer at home because i don't get rid of press samples like that when they send me a card like that that's not only for my use now but for future comparisons and so I will take that card out of that machine when I circle back around I'm gonna do a gtx 980ti 1080 TI 20 80 TI video pretty soon and when I do that I'll grab that car down to my machine at home I'll bring it to the office I'll stick it on my test bench I'll run the benchmarks and then I'll take it out and take it back home well actually at this point on my 6:28 GM there who knows we'll see it's a great card that Duke has turned out to be really really nice the first time you get sent that is amazing I told you getting Verizon was amazing getting that's amazing I'm not gonna lie the exuberance is real the excitement is real and to be completely blunt if I were to tell you that I was 100% without bias in a couple of the early press sample videos I'd be lying to you because I'm sitting there with a seven or eight hundred dollar video card and a 300 dollar CPU and a thing and a thing and whatever from them and it's just really really cool and anybody who tells you it's not cool is pulling your leg it's really really cool the first time and the second time then at some point you have a shelf of video cards and you have a shelf of CPUs and you have a shelf of RAM and SSDs this is undeniably cool this is probably better than like everyone watching this is gaming CP this this is gonna be the new fastest gaming CPU in the world I can't tell you what the performance numbers are but come on it's a 5 gigahertz I $9.99 hundred K of course it's gonna be the fastest CPU in the world if you're watching this and you've got a three-year-old or five-year-old computer and somebody called you up and said hey we'll send you a free $500 CPU you'd probably be exuberant what if they offered to send you a second one and then a third one and then a fourth one and then a fifth one of swimming they're slightly different models now your first response might be holy Wow yeah of course I'd be excited I'll take them all I could use the money there's no money it there's no money changing hands here speaking of sponsored stuff I do want to go on the record and this is a legal thing in the United States I want to go categorically on the record Intel AMD and NVIDIA have never paid me for a video on my channel ever Intel paid me for one tweet once that was a tweet over on Twitter it was part of a marketing campaign they were doing it wasn't actually C be related interestingly enough so that happened but in terms of videos they've never paid me for a video they've never sponsored a video AMD's never sponsored a video and Nvidia's never sponsored a video other companies have and not just like Skillshare and dashlane and like those gigabyte sponsored a video a year ago for example but it was disclosed that's that sponsored by gigabyte right in the middle of the video and you'll always get that so I want to be absolutely clear if Intel sent you 5 CPUs you don't get to sell them there it's not money it's inventory it has to go on the shelf they're loaned to you and in fact the contract with many of these company states that this is not being given to you it is being loaned to you and must be returned upon request they consider it a loaner for tax purposes you aren't being given a gift you're being lent something so this isn't something I have to pay tax on and this isn't something that goes into my inventory and it's not something I can sell Intel has the right to ask for this back for example if they want to several other companies do it that way so you get very excited when you get sent your first one but your fifth one is now a video you have to make AMD recently sent me the rise in five 3600 which as of recording this I have not done anything with yet I'm sorry AMD I apologize profusely I'm slacking slow they sent me the rise in 530 400 G which I recently published a 55 minute long video with 20 benchmarks in the crap ton of detail in there and it was awesome that was a press sample that were sent to me in July I'm sorry AMD it was way late my apologies it was late everything else happened I got sick over the summer what can I say I also have the 3200 G from them and I also have the Athlon 2 to 200 GE 220 GE and 240 I don't know why they sent me all three of those there's no point those are two core for thread chips that they get three graphics and they sent me all three of them thank you I appreciate it but here's the funny thing they're sitting on the shelf and in my mind it's not money it's a job I'm sharing this with you because it's sort of first of all it gives me an excuse to cover this it gives me a reason to cover it but I'm sure a lot of you watch these videos and you see all this cool stuff that we get to play with and I remember not being a youtuber thinking man you just you'd never have to run out of stuff you always have the best computer and you never have to care you don't have to buy anything what a great deal that would be well it's not bad but once you've done the work necessary to get to the point to where they're sending these things to you it's not free I've worked my tail off to get to this point the hours and the energy and the money invested get to this point my filming studio the camera the microphone overhead the lights the desk this this desk that I'm filming on is a six-foot wide motorized desk that I can lift up and down for example yeah that was not 50 bucks I had to buy that I mean that's nobody's gonna send me that so it's a lot of work to get to this point so I am grateful to Intel for sending this to me it is cool but it's also just created a job because the embargo on this lifts on October 30th and I don't have to have a video ready so there's that you know interestingly enough as I'm sitting here recording this I'm just gonna share my live thoughts with you as I do this it occurs to me I could always make this a You Tube member and a floatplane dedicated video that might actually be an interesting video for our supporters for those of you curious floatplane is the subscription on the media service run by linus media group linked in the video description below it's $5 a month you get early access to videos I think there's 36 or 38 exclusive videos over there at the moment and no ads higher quality video etc it's very nice and then YouTube members if you see a join button next to the subscribe button hit that join button you'll get a page that pops up that lists all the stuff you get the custom emojis and you get the loyalty badge it'll show up in chat when we do live streams and whatnot it directly supports the channel unfortunately the $5 option here on YouTube does not get rid of ads I have expressed this directly to YouTube to my YouTube prep and said why if somebody is paying five bucks a month they shouldn't have to watch ads unfortunately I regret to inform you at least as a recording this video hitting the join button and paying $5 on YouTube just nothing get rid of ads sorry but it does give you access to the exclusive videos that are uploaded to YouTube there's a playlist of all the member only videos which you can watch if you join and so maybe uh I don't know after I edit this all decide whether or not to make it member exclusive or not if you're watching this on YouTube in general then I didn't if you're not then I did so there's that interestingly enough my original plan when I started this video was I was gonna make a bit of a joke talking about the fact that you know this is not sponsored because I have a blue shirt on and I've got the Intel box in front of me and I was gonna say there's no way in shape and form that could ever possibly have any you know sponsorship with Intel and then I was going to drink from my Intel mug which has been sitting there the whole time by the way it's not a little bit cold because I don't have it on hot plate but then I decided it was a bit too on-the-nose so I didn't do that at the beginning of the video I did however put a blue shirt on because I was originally intending to do that if I put a blue shirt on I'll drink from my Intel mug and it'll be funny unfortunately too many people do not get it sarcasm and do not get jokes and they'll take it seriously and they'll run off into left field like oh my god see it's proof he's a show shills are an interesting topic a lot of people throughout the term show I've been called a show recently on my video card videos interestingly enough I've recently done a bunch of video card videos where I do I did the RT X 2060 super versus the rx 5,700 XT Navi they're both four hundred hour cards in fact I tested the exact same model from gigabyte which thank you gigabyte for sending me both of those cards we appreciate it but of course I got sent both the samples so I'm not biased in that regard of course they didn't come from AMD or Nvidia anyway they came from gigabyte whatever but so I tested them and I played with them and on the games that I tested the RX Navi was 6% faster on average than the RT X 2060 now let's some other games it's actually faster it's sometimes it's 10 to 15% faster on some games and it's dead even on others it just depends upon what kind of games that you're playing and I commented in that video that if I were spending my own money I'm not a youtuber I'm not a reviewer I'm going out to buy a video card that I'm gonna put into my personal computer and I'm gonna use day after day after day I would buy the RT X 2060 super and there were a lot of comments beneath that video going up blood heck it's in a video she'll really okay why because I express her preference because I didn't express your preference because I said that the card that was six maybe 10% slower is the one I would buy for the same money here's the thing in that video I gave the reasons rate racing tensor course Nvidia and ven C encoder for better or worse whether it's the hardware encoder or the drivers or the software or whatever if you are recording video or live streaming NVIDIA has a better hardware encoder than AMD does they just do it uses less of the card it's higher quality it's more reliable I've played around with video encoding on the AMD cards and it's just been a very hit and miss unpleasant experience so Nvidia has a superior solution their NVIDIA has RT cores for ray tracing and they have tensor cores which are different than retracing course are they being heavily used in games and programs right now no will they be in the future I believe so will it matter on a $400 20 60 super I don't know but if I was buying a 20 60 super I'd be doing it to play at 1080p which is a separate conversation because I know a lot of people say it's a 1440p card but no it's not um I mean it is limited today but not for three years it's not if you want a three year card that's a 1080p card so I would buy a 2060 Super with my own money based upon what I know today over the past 20 plus years I've owned a lot of AMD cards I've owned a lot of him video cards both companies have had hits and both companies have had misses the HD 5000 series I had an HD 5850 for example for its time it was a great card I don't regret that one the r9 series the r9 290x and 295x2 s and whatnot yeah actually replaced my 200 series r9 card with a gtx 980ti and that was a nice day that was a nice improvement AMD was having troubles with micro stutter and frame pacing and drivers at that point in time and the Nvidia solutions what's the 900 series 700 was good but what's the 900 series cards came out that it sort of took off from there but I've seen good and bad I mean Fermi I mean look back at firming at the 400 series from Nvidia Oh terrible GTX 480 versus or a 580 versus the the 4,000 5,000 series from AMD so AMD's had some some good periods and if vidi has had probably more good periods than AMD has because let's face it nvidia sells three cards for every one AMD sells for a reason but based upon current drivers and current features that's my answer ok this is getting along winded so people call me a shell because of my choice I'm allowed to have my choice if I can back it up with a reason you may not agree with that reason but if I can back it up with the reason then it makes sense take the i9 forget this chip because I can't discuss its performance take the standard I 999 hundred K versus a rise in 930 900 X ok the i9 is faster in gaming the rise in 9 is faster in multi-threaded performance which one you should buy depends upon what you're doing these are choices bad neither choice this is like arguing Ford versus Chevy and you'll get some diehard Ford people and some diehard Chevy people who will put their foot in the sand and say well if you like Chevy you're an idiot well if you like Ford you're an idiot what the both companies have made fine cars over the years both companies have made bad cars over the years Ford Pinto anybody so I mean there's but I drive a Ford today so there's that and I drove a Chevy um in the past and whatever I don't care I just want whatever's good and so that's why I currently drive before it was a good deal I'm not maybe as brand loyal as some some people are hard like you know not in our household we're not gonna have that I think that's a bit harsh but now people are funny so as far as being a shill let me just say unequivocally that we live in great times we're for the most part you have great options not on GPUs on the high end this frankly has no competition from AMD the RT X xx ATT I just there's just nothing from a MB to even remotely touch it if you want the best if you want super high frame rates if you want 4k gaming you found your new video card man that's all that is expensive I'll be absolutely Nvidia is charging a premium price you want the Lexus of video cards you want the loo of a ton of handbags you want though I was gonna say rolls-royce of cars but I guess that would be the RT X Titan do you want the Rolex watch of video cards you'll pay for it you know it's an interesting thing people seem to say there seems to be an expectation that the highest end product should follow literally with price to performance with the low end cards it's like well if this card is twice the price of a r-tx 2060 super or twice the performance of an RTX 2060 super then it can't be more than twice the price or it's a bad deal that's not how products work if you want the best you pay a premium for it a Ferrari is not three times the performance of a Corvette or a Dodge demon or a Dodge Viper or pick your hundred thousand dollar sports car a three hundred thousand dollar Ferrari is 300 grand because it's a Ferrari frankly the new c8 Corvette may not perform quite a few Ferraris that's sub zero to sixty sub zero to sixty times okay huh have my video editor but a beep in there and we'll just rewind zero to sixty times under three seconds on this sixty five thousand dollar version of that car Wow performance for the money and it looks amazing with a mid-engine I mean I haven't I don't know if it's any good it's been years since I've ever even sat in a Corvette but it it looks good the performance numbers sound amazing but at 65 grand well it'll probably be 75 or 85 grand by the time you check the option boxes and get the heated and cooled seats in the nav and everything else but whatever it'll be under a hundred grand for a sub three second zero to 60 Corvette with a mid-engine Wow and yet Ferrari will probably sell every $300,000 car they build and they probably have a waiting list six months long because it's a Ferrari expecting this to be a deal is not realistic just because you want it to be cheap doesn't being frankly hill of beans so it is what it is what does thrall want to say about sponsors I debated filling up the entire desk with products just to make the point but I thought damn that's overkill I don't have to do that this is if you can see it you probably can't this is a Athlon 220 GE it's the middle CPU two cores four threads 3.4 gigahertz ok the 240 GE is 3.5 gigahertz in fact you can still see the CPUs in there because I haven't done anything with it I have tested the 240 GE I will have a video on that shortly I debated testing the 220 GE and the 200 GE but why they're so close and performance it's utterly trivial the only real difference is like 100 or 200 megahertz CPU clock speed difference the bible-- all have Vega 3 graphics so you get sent this and you think well that's really nice but now it's content I have to make what I wish I had done is told AMD look just send me one I don't need all of them that's that's that's silly but well they didn't well there it is this is a very cool cooler I'm looking forward to reviewing it this is the cooler air master maker ma 620 M bad name cool product well I assume it's a cool product I haven't tested it yet but what they've done is they've taken the basic design from the Wraiths Ripper and applied it to normal normal CPUs it's expensive at $100 and actually it's still in there because I haven't taken it out yeah but coolermaster sent that to me to review and the reason I'm excited to review it the number one feature about this that I really really am looking forward to is easy mounting previous Coolermaster coolers have awful mounting systems and the in fact I did a build video where I spent 20 or 30 minutes screwing around with the awful cooling system the awful mounting system on the tr4 cooler master cooler that went on to the 29 50 X in fact if memory serves that's where that went oh if you watch the build up that I got into a bit of a rant complaining about how awful the mounting system was and I and that was a private press sample Coolermaster sent me that and I specifically said in the video yeah no nobody buy this it's awful in fairness to Coolermaster they responded favorably because I didn't completely trash them in the video I mean I basically said look you know it's this this was a big fat pain in the neck they've now changed it this is a to screw mounting system so I'm actually excited to cover that but now I have to test it in video it and because it's got our GB I really need to do some b-roll on it I've now got like two days of work to make this all into a pretty video for a cooler I didn't need and so press samples are cool but it's just a job now it's cool intellectually this is the problem with unscripted videos I ramble you should listen to the conversations with me and my wife sometimes she's like I have to go do the dishes and laundry now and I'm like why and she cuz cuz I'm full cuz you've talked for 20 minutes oh all ragging on there mounting system aside two screws simple installation single fan in the middle mounts on everything except two tr4 cuz that's what the Raith Rovers for I'm actually excited about it the only promise to price it's 100 bucks it's too expensive if it were $70 I'd be really thrilled with it but if you want ease of mounting this may be this may be your cooler this will actually end up going into one of my wife's computers because she complains that the Wraiths prism RGB coolers on AMD are too loud because that's what she's currently got on her 3700 X sorry Intel but she does the Wraith spire coolers are nice but the wraith prisms are not so we're gonna replace the Wraith prism with this and make it nice and sweet i may have her in that video and have her give you her personal point of view in terms of going from one to the other just from a computer user not benchmarks or tests or noise samples or recordings or anything else but just like honey okay you tell the audience what do you think you know was it good was it bad did you notice the difference and just let her talk so that's that's the plan with that any case so I have my intel news byte under embargo until Monday October 28 2019 at 6 a.m. Pacific time what's the sama back there some I love to tell you that I assume I'm allowed to say that maybe not I'll have to ask them if I can disclose that because that's this is the Intel News byte and this says Intel confidential it says performance pressure views embargo until Wednesday October 30 2019 at 6 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time o 6 a.m. Pacific time I'll be good not to screw that up I thought it was Eastern Time so what does this say I'll put that aside there what's new Intel today announced full details availability for the new 9th generation Intel Core i $9.99 hundred KS special edition processor delivering up to 5 gigahertz all core turbo speed out of the box for the ultimate gaming experience the 9th gen Intel Core i $9.99 hundred KS will be available beginning october 30th with recommended customer pricing starting at five hundred and thirteen dollars Intel I love you but Wednesday Thursday Friday okay so the non KS chip the K chip was a recommended price of 488 it was higher than that at launch but it quickly came down Orwell was unavailable for a while but it's currently available about 490 480 490 why why why why this actually makes my head hurt why would you ever make a product ever anywhere in retail for 513 it's an odd number in fact all three digits are odd numbers five one three are odd digits why would you break the five-minute $4.99 why would you just don't make it $4.99 just be normal I mean in tow I mean AMD launched the the Rison 930 900 X at $4.99 of course it hasn't been $4.99 much it's higher but that's it is what it is free advice to Intel take the I $9.99 hundred K and lower the price to 449 release this at $4.99 make the i7 9700 K 349 which that's except we won't talk about hyper threading and all that make that 349 make the i5 I guess you can make it 249 $1.99 would be more interesting I don't know that's a separate conversation the entire retail world works in $1.99 $2.99 399 $4.99 and $5.99 that's just how the world works why would you release this at 5:13 that's this special edition processor will be available for a limited time only and can be found at retailers worldwide this is not a replacement for the K chip it is a limited edition it will come it will go the regular K chip will stay if you want one of these don't wait for sales and discounts it's kind of like the I 7a 86 K that was released a year ago it came it went it was gone so if you're interested in this get one why it's important the i9 9900 k processor a KS processor k is unlocked and boast eight cords eight cores and 16 threads and up to four gigahertz base frequency a hundred and twenty seven watt TDP sixteen megabytes of Intel smart cache and up to forty platform PCI Express Lanes for gaming and overclocking key features and capabilities I'm just gonna read these we're gonna have some fun together up to five gigahertz all core turbo frequency up to four gigahertz base frequency which allows games to run faster when they scale across more cores for higher frame rates that's true I read all that compatible with existing Z 390 motherboards this will work on a Z 370 but it's ideal on a Z 390 whatever that means up to 27% faster mega tasking when you simultaneously gamestream and record compared with a three-year-old PC I could it be frank with you 27% more speed over three years is not impressive I became an adult in the nineties I grew up in the 80s I remember the the 286 to 386 246 to Pentium transition you didn't have 27% more speed in three years your computer was junked in three years 1991 we had a 386 DX 25 which was pretty nice for 91 we spent almost 3 grand with that with gateway 2000 was the 386 DX 25 with 4 megabytes of RAM and 85 megabyte Western Digital caviar IDE hard drive a Texan labs et 4000 video card a 14-inch super VGA color monitor three and a half and a five and a quarter inch floppy drive that was a nice nice computer for 1991 there's nearly three grand two years later in 93 it was basically obsolete strike commander Falcon 3.0 I mean they would run on the 386 but it was rough there was a bunch of games that came out 92 93 that just really were rough so we went big we thought okay well I mean I was fairly young at the time mom mom and grandfather helped with the price because it was expensive but with okay forget this because we'd already had to do some upgrades we had already added to add some storage we added 130 gig Seagate IDE hard drive for 400 bucks in 92 we had a tape drive we added a we upgraded the modem from 2400 baud to a 14-4 modem gateway had a really good special for $95 which was unbelief $195 195 remember anyway it was an amazing deal for the time six times faster speed that was absolutely amazing for the time so by 93 it was just not cutting it anymore the drives were completely full the performance with the 25 megahertz processor wasn't there and so we went into computer shopper remember the big huge computer shopper magazine and we found a company called Ares which I don't know whatever happened to them they were a small company and we had a custom-built machine made for us there was nearly five thousand dollars which 1993 and 2019 money it's not quite 10 grand but it's like nine yeah how many are you building 9000 our computers today that was expensive it was a 486 DX 266 was 16 megabytes of RAM we had a one gigabyte fast Guzzi to hard drive because IDE had not yet broken the 540 megabyte limit so the one gigabyte hard drive the motherboard had eisah ISA and VLB ports anybody remember Issa enhance indicated architecture and VESA local bus the video card was a visa vis of the elbe a VESA local bus card and the scuzzy card was an ISA it was originally supposed to be a VOB car but actually they contacted us in testing and let us know that they were having compatibility problems with having to VLB cards installed and so they switched over to an ISA skuzzy card just to avoid the compatibility issues we had a sound Buster 16 and what else was in that we had a 15 inch super VGA or xgx it was a 1024 by 768 non-interlaced remember interlaced monitors that was a 1024 by 768 non-interlaced 15-inch super vga color monitor and probably a few other things I can't remember at this point nearly 5 grand sweet right great two years later Windows 95 came out no windows 95 would run on the 46 not well yeah I had an intern machine I won't get into the rest of these ossicles videos already so long as it is but in short I briefly had a next-gen 5 x86 P 100 which AMD bought and turned into their later chips long story about what happened next gen and that got replaced with any year because it really wasn't very good because of compatibility issues in 96 I got a penny in 166 and then it gets kind of fuzzy after that because I did it started doing a lot of upgrades because I was in the computer business at that point and so basically my my system was constant it never stayed static at that point because by that point I was an adult I had a computer business and I was doing upgrades for other people and so I used that to constantly cycle new stuff into my machine but I know I had a seller on 300a at one point overclocked to four hundred and fifty megahertz on a BX motherboard that was awesome and I know had a Pentium 3 550 which didn't do much over the Celeron 300 a at 450 but it didn't really cost me anything because I was swapping part so whatever and then I had a cedar 700 or 733 and then I switched to a phone when Athlon hit a Giga hurt before Intel I had one of those and then I had one of the sundar Birds the t-birds and then an Athlon XP and the IDA AMD chips from that point all the way up to the Core 2 Duo which kind of crush the apple online but that's a story for another day why am I telling you all this uh because the entire point of this rambling see this is the problem of not scripting videos as this happens the point is in the 90s your computer was junk in three years and that's not true anymore 27 percent that's 27 percent faster performance when you simultaneously game stream and record compared to a three-year-old PC that is a very specific scenario to claim a twenty seven percent performance jump over three years I'm gonna be blunt that's sad that's legit awful it should have doubled up to thirty five percent more frames per second compared to a three-year-old PC yeah but that's probably also taking into account a 1080 Ti and a three-year-old PC and a twenty-eight ETI here which the video card is doing all that up to seventeen percent faster 4k video editing compared to the previous generation and up to 78% faster compared with a three-year-old PC well I hope so it's got eight cores three-year-old PC had four cores if you go from four to eight goers that's going to happen mmm pay no attention to rise and unthread ripper one year what a one year warranty a one a one I'm legit I'm legit surprised this is the first I've actually read this a one year okay I mean if the CPU works for three days it works forever you know so long as you're not like you know pumping way too much voltage into it or overclocking it way beyond saying or doing ln2 and stupid stuff to it I mean if you run it at stock speeds at five gigahertz this will last forever but forevers a long time but it'll last longer than you'll care about but one year come on that's cheesy overclock confidently with new and enhanced features like Intel performance Maximizer which makes it I can't discuss performance you know wave today's for that gamers and overclocking enthusiasts will be able to take performance to the max with the ninth gen Intel Core only select chips from Intel wafers can achieve this drone all quantity is limited for the special edition product for more information etc well before you guys I wonder what Intel's gonna say about having an AMD product in their video well they didn't pay me so you know I can do what I want as I drink from my Intel coffee mug hey AMD send me an AMD coffee mug why have you guys not sent me an AMD coffee mug gigabyte why haven't you sent me a coffee mug attention all product companies I drink three or four cups of coffee a day send me coffee mugs I will drink from them I think it's time to unbox I know what I was going to do I was gonna mention that these are press samples this is a z3 90 horas pro Wi-Fi that I have not done anything with yet they sent this to me Wow you know what they sent this to me when the K launched this has been on the shelf for a while for those I've done absolutely I'm so sorry gigabyte but yeah it's um it's been in the box since they sent it to me and then MSI sent me this the mag Z 390 gaming Pro carbon which these aren't new boards by the way when they send these this is the media sample performance qualification which lists what they put in here this was tested let's see here this was tested with an i7 9700 K I don't know why but it was it was tested with ddr4 2666 so they did not test XMP ram it was tested with a 1080 TI a samsung 850 pro SSD that's odd Windows 10 interesting that they actually listed the benchmark results that they got on it list so when they tested this was tested September 20th 2018 is when this board was tested where does it actually say up here dear editor yes we do get this um we get sent all kinds of stuff with performance Intel for example sent me a page with what to expect in the benchmark numbers on this 99 hundred KS yeah I promptly took it when I don't care I'm testing it myself I don't I don't accept benchmark numbers from the manufacturer and then just regurgitate them I'm not free PR well I guess I am free PR for them but I'm not going to just regurgitate their numbers without testing them so I I briefly glanced at it and went that's nice so this actually has a bunch of information which I never looked at because I don't care yeah it's it's they actually provided benchmark numbers with this but I don't I don't I don't look at those it looks nice but this has how to CPU on it and this has been tested and the CPUs we get often aren't new either they've been tested as well in fact um most of the rise in CPUs that I have received over the past two years still have residues of thermal paste on them so they're not new even though they come in a pretty box they're not in and they're sealed the irony is the boxes are sealed but when you take the chip out you can just see just around the edge of the chip the thermal paste where they were tested so I need to do something with these but you see if you guys are thinking well you got some free motherboards I guess but again like I said earlier I can't sell these these are press samples these have zero value to me because they have to sit on the shelf and I have to do something with them in a video but the problem is you end up with more of them than you can ever use and so you end up with a shelf full of them so there's that I know what you're all gonna say giveaway time depress samples they're not for that either ok grand event time we're gonna do the unboxing of the i99 ok it's this the dumbest thing ever at this point are you ready drumroll please I should really have like the camera zoomed in and set it up but I can't be bothered so I'm not going to how do you over there we go come on we'll get in there you shiny this is a slightly different variation of the same hexagon shape that the regular K comes in I'll push that aside kiss do keep in mind that when you buy one to the best of my knowledge you do not get one of these boxes you just get this I do not this is a press thing I believe now you may notice this is already opened the CPU is on here once you cut the seal that's on the bottom you then take that off this separates like so which is just two pieces of plastic it's nice looking plastic and then in here is where the CPU would be but it's not because it's on here I've already done all the benchmarking and testing I did them last week so if you're watching this on October 28th come back October 30 for the benchmarks and numbers I'll offer you this thought it is an ion line 9900 k with a 5 gigahertz all core turbo I will discuss performance relative to the regular K chip I will discuss performance relative to the Raisa 930 900 X which I have retested with the latest bios with power boost overdrive on because my launch benchmarks on the Rison 9 probably shouldn't be used at this point because there's been like four BIOS update since then with several revisions and some improvements to the boost speed whatnot so I retested rising 9 for this and I'll have some benchmarks off gaming and non gaming benchmarks for you on October 30th and beyond that now I get to put this thing back together again but for the moment I'll just leave it just like that in any case as always like this video comment down below make sure that you're subscribed hit that Bell notification icon for notification for future videos this has been a long ramble I did not expect us to go like this so if you're watching this thanks for hanging out watching this otherwise silly video off to find out from in telleth or not I can put that other thing in there not if there was nothing in there about the Intel paper then I couldn't and if there was then you know what I'm talking about thank you all so much for being fans and supporters and for watching my channel and if you're being a member of the deal nation community all business issues aside all of Philly at length said revenue and income and sponsorships and product samples and everything else aside I love technology and I've been tinkering with the stuff for a long time personally I geek out at the stuff I legitimately do but it is also my job this is what I do for a living this is my full-time career this is how I pay for my mortgage and pay for food for my kids and so it is work and it is a job and it is important to me in that regard but it is also very cool so there's a benefit there and I certainly do appreciate it and I recognize that there's a lot of channels on YouTube you can launch besides this one and the fact that you choose to spend your time with me is greatly appreciated or floatplane if you're watching this hunt flow although if this will not be early access on floatplane because of the embargo the one big thing I cannot do early access on because embargo means embargo so this won't go up any earlier on pull playing that well on YouTube because I have to respect the rules I signed the paper I agreed the thing and so it is what it is in any case thank you so much for being a member of our family at least while you're watching our videos and I will see all of you next time\n"
