Just wanted to say that I have become increasingly appreciative of your journalistic selection and demonstration of the "Budget" range of technology as I have gotten older. Especially now that I have to pay for things like rent. While so much of tech journalism seems to be focused on the next, latest and greatest its important to highlight the mid range of what most people will ever need or use. Your demonstrations like the video editing on the $100 PC I think are great at proving why these lower end systems are important.

[@1637ty]

As a quick example, I accidently broke my ~$1000 phone and picked up the Samsung A03 from BestBuy for $60 and I swear to god I am never buying a more expensive phone again. Because while the camera may be shit, there isn't any app it cant run smoothly besides for maybe super graphics heavy games which I do not see as a necessary for my phone to play anyway.

CPUs have improved so much in such a small amount of relative time. From R7 2700X, to R9 5950x, to i7 12700K, to R7 7800x3D, there was always a noticeable improvement in game perf. And from 2700X to 5950x was night and day in multithreading heavy tasks. In all that time though, I only ever upgraded the gfx card once. Went from GTX 1080 Ti 11gb to an RTX 4080s 16gb just last month.

[@BottomOfTheDumpsterFire]

Remember that era of i5-2000 to i5-7000 series when the processors didn't really change at all? AMD threw a hell of a wrench into the system, from affordable 8 cores with the Ryzen 1700 to consumer-grade 16 cores with the Ryzen 3950X. I can't wait for the 8000 or 9000 series of CPUs, I'm hoping for a performance uplift good enough to justify moving to DDR5.

I'm really a fan of these CPU and GPU videos Philip makes, because he does them from a normal consumer's perspective, instead of just wanking on the latest and greatest, most expensive things like many dedicated tech channels. Actually, one of these videos was the reason I switched to AMD in 2018 and I'm really happy with that choice still.

[@zebzebzebzebzeb]

Something you didn't mention that is becoming increasingly important in MT workloads is figuring out where the application stops really scaling with more cores and which cores you should use at that core count. The main thing I do on my personal machines is software development and with the languages I use now I only really ever use 14c/28t at once. At that thread count my two options are really the 14700k or 7950x, and while the AMD might have lower performance when all cores are saturated I'm not going to be saturating them. In a 14c MT test those full Zen 4 cores are going to outpace those E cores a lot, making AMD a better option. For a lot of professionals I think the advice of "get whatever has the better MT score" is quickly becoming harder to agree with software usually doesn't scale linearly and I really wish tech media would mention it more.

Thunderbolt 5.0 support in cpus is coming out too which makes external GPUs very viable now for many tasks that are optimized decently. Most tasks avoid gpu to cpu back and forth communication anyways because of the latency. Most tasks are a throughput problem. And thunderbolt 5.0 has reached very viable throughput imo.

[@jensgerntholtz4041]

12:34 This is one of Intel's greatest shortcomings in their marketing. E-Cores aren't Power Efficient. They are space-efficient. In a sense that Intel can fit 4 E-cores in the space of 1 P-core on the CPU "die". I haven't found any benchmarks that substantiate "Power Efficiency" claims. On the contrary, the P-cores deliver more performance per watt compared to the E-cores.

[@Winnetou17]

Thank you! It's so nice to see people that get it, so to speak. The only power efficient part of the E-core is that their lowest usage is lower than a P-core. So if you have like a really light task you can theoretically set your E-cores at 400 MHz and they will sip power. Especially nice if you can tune the voltage for them too. But it's a rather niche case.

[@saricubra2867]

Depends on the task, for singlethreaded tasks, of course the P-cores are power efficient, but for multicore they are terrible. Without the E-cores, i would be stuck with the i9-10900K's 100 watt iddle power draw instead of 5 watts on my 12700K, making the 10900K useless for a Digital Audio Workstation.

I'm just saying I still prefer AMD nowadays when it comes to the business side of things, when it comes to performance, and when it comes to pricing in my country.

I am not a semiconductor engineer, but this is my understanding: Chips made of a bunch of chiplets connected together are necessary because the new process nodes using EUV lithography have a very limited area of wafer in focus at one time, only centimeters wide, and it took some heroics to get it that large. Everybody will eventually be using them for performance desktop chips, whether they connect them by multiple exposures using larger interconnects, or mechanically.

[@xfy123]

You can get better yields per wafer on chiplets compared to a monolithic design so it's cheaper to produce more working chips but that cost gets offset by the interconnect. It also helps scale a product like AMD are doing with epyc and threadripper and planning to do with GPUs. Everyone will definitely switch to a chiplet design especially as we get closer to 1nm. As nodes get smaller it takes a lot more time to increase yield rate so for example you have a monolithic chip that has a defective Io that chip is basically scrap now with a chiplet process you can just make it work as it's an independent part, same thing with cores.

[@TrogdorBurnin8or]

I think yield was the reasoning ten or twenty years ago, but now it's just not feasible to do a single photomask for a performance-CPU-sized chip.@@xfy123

[@lharsay]

The ocular limit will be reduced from like 850mm^2 to 430mm^2 (only for Intel, the other chipmakers don't plan to buy those new tools yet). Currently on the consumer GPU front even something as powerfull as the RTX4080 is only around 380mm^2 which means chiplets won't be necessary in that segment. On the server/data center market Intel has recently released their newest Xeons with up to 64 cores on 2x750mm^2 chiplets which is already impossible to make on a single die and it's forced to compete with AMD's up to 96 Zen4, 96 Zen4 x3D and 128 Zen4c core Epyc products.

[@TrogdorBurnin8or]

The way it was explained to me, yields used to be a justification, but today the EUV process is just fundamentally constrained. To do a big chip you need to precisely optically align wide interconnects for chiplets on a bunch of photomasks, or mechanically connect them.@@xfy123

I still love my 5800X3D. That extra cache really makes sense when you try it in games. It has a huge effect on 1% lows, which has eliminated microstutters entirely. When Intel starts making affordable high-performance chips with a similar amount of cache, I will consider them an option.

[@TheLordinio]

have to disagree with intel being the high multicore performance option now. in my experience many high core count compute tasks can not properly take advantage of both P and E cores, which just leaves you with an 8 core 14900k that has some additional cores unused you can maybe use for background tasks. (CFD, FEA and photogrammetry are the big ones where I experienced that) if you use all the available cores the faster threads just just to wait on the slower ones and your overall performance goes down significantly over just using the P cores that's probably also why intels server and workstation offerings don't seem to use E cores

[@AirWolf2301]

At least until Intel actually says or does something about it. Right now, they seem to be hoping it blows over and their core 200 products change the narrative while so many of their customers have to deal with the problems of their last gen (yes I count 13th and 14th as same gen, because they are).

Can confirm about the Ryzen 5 5600. I bought a 5600x (basically same thing) on release and it can do everything. It's crazy. The 5600G being that price is beyond superb for extreme budget gaming or for home PCs. I'm thinking of using it for my parent's build. And the fact that the 5800X3D is on AM4 just makes the 5600 even better.

[@friendofp.24]

I don't even ever think about upgrading to the 5800x3D anyway because the 5600 is already great. It's never inconvenienced me once.

[@Admer456]

I upgraded my younger bro's Athlon 200GE to a Ryzen 5600G in January. The difference was night and day. God bless AM4

[@Dionyzos]

I will be excited about GPUs again when we can get 4090 performance for ~800$. Besides that, I think APUs are pretty exciting right now. I'm looking forward to the next generation of handhelds.

That ending came out of nowhere 😂

Really waiting for Intel to step up their game right now. Apart from the low to mid range. The fact that the 13900k vs the 7950x both trade blows in productivity/high core works loads yet the 7950x is 100w less in terms of power (which also means heat) seems like a no Brainer right now. Same with the 13700k and the 7900x. I don't think I can advise Intel for anyone outside of like a 13600k and below, and I work in retail for pc parts and I've been making these recommendations for a while now. Of course some people will still go Intel because they don't trust amd (for some reason)

[@InfernoTrees]

Hopefully their next gen will be awesome because zen 5 seems like Intel is in big trouble, and I love AMD but we need competition man...

[@InfernoTrees]

@@2kliksphilip oh absolutely they're absolutely pushing it so they can appear on top hahaha. Kinda cool that u don't have to stress about oc anymore coz they do it for you! xD

[@Feyolen]

It’s funny I’ve stumbled upon this video because I started looking into CPUs for a lot of the same reasons

[@WayStedYou]

the one thing that has gone crazy recently is the prices of motherboards and their features being limited to super expensive boards you used to get onboard power/reset and 9 panel readouts now you need to spend a fortune to get basic troubleshooting equipment

thank you Philip

The iGPUs are set to become incredible in the next few years. For example, Ryzen 7 8700G with the Radeon 780M graphics can beat out many, if not most brand new sub-$200 GPUs. Yes it's a $300 CPU, but if your budget is tight, you can think of it as a $150 CPU and a $150 GPU in one package. Also it saves you from buying a 5 to 7 year old GPU which could lose support any day now.

[@jamesbuckwas6575]

They don't beat modern sub-$200 GPUs quite, moreso 10 and 16 series GPUs at that price. I agree that for sub-$400 or so systems that need all-new parts, or for needing low power consumption or small size though, these APUs are very impressive. I just wish they'd put the good iGPUs on the 6 core CPU too. Also the $150 GPUs can be under 5 years old, such as the RX 5700XT, RX 6600, RTX 2060, RTX 3060, and so on.

[@masterkamen371]

@@jamesbuckwas6575 I guess GPU prices still vary a lot from market to market. Over here you'd consider yourself lucky for finding a bottom of the barrel 3050 for under 250€.

[@jamesbuckwas6575]

@@masterkamen371 You're right, I forgot about markets that have different pricing compared to the US, my mistake. For sure in those markets, APUs likely are cheaper than discrete GPUs from a couple of generations ago. In those cases an APU also makes a lot of sense to purchase, and to upgrade with a dGPU later!

[@masterkamen371]

@@jamesbuckwas6575 Yeah, prices are so ridiculous here that I'm going to other countries just to purchase PC components. Some GPUs are literally 2x cheaper that way.

[@saricubra2867]

4:49 Lmao, i called it, i7-12700K beats R7 5800X3D, and you get 4 extra cores 😎.

[@Hennannice]

this is the video ive been waiting for

[@NymphieJP]

I dunno man, the release of OG Ryzen was the true golden age of processors. It forced Intel to not be so dogshit as they are now. Maybe even the release of Dual Core processors, true dual core. That also was an incredible time to buy!

[@pullmeifinger]

Looking at those gpu charts i remember playing at 800x600 😊

[@dipi71]

Build a dirt-cheap Ryzen 5700G-based Linux rig last year, mostly from used components, and couldn't be happier with it as my main system. It effortlessly lets me play Alien Isolation with just the integrated graphics and the bog-standard amdgpu driver that comes with openSUSE Leap 15.5. It compiles my custom kernels in far below 3 minutes and gets barely over 60°C while doing it (using nothing but the standard cooler that came eith the 5700G).

[@gasparliboreiro4572]

love the video, I pretty much enjoyed my meal

[@saricubra2867]

11:30 Noo, they have to keep Ring Bus... Meteor Lake is kinda bad, worse IPC than Raptor Lake.

[@--waffle-]

Hey @2kliksphilip what are your thoughts on the new Snapdragon X Elite ARM APU? Where it might sit in the market, and what the future of gaming in ARM might hold. Would love to hear your thoughts. Maybe even a video review when it comes out.

[@2kliksphilip]

I'm holding off my thoughts until benchmarks
