Is Intel's X99 Platform Still Relevant at All? - Taking a Look at the HP Z440 Workstation

Hello there and welcome to my video. In today's video, I'll be taking a look at the HP Z440 workstation to see if one of these systems, or anything based on Intel's X99 platform for that matter, is still worth it today. I'll test three CPUs in this video, those being the Xeon E5-1620 V3, Xeon E5-1650 V4, and the Xeon E5-2697 V4. I'll test these chips in gaming benchmarks, synthetic benchmarks, and DaVinci Resolve.
Music, in order:
Beyon - Patrick Patrikios
Komorebi - Futuremono
Island Dream - Chris Haugen
A Caring Friend - Bad Snacks
Sunny Days - Anno Domini Beats
Soul Searching - Causmic
Hanging Out - Bruno E.
Nine Lives - Unicorn Heads
Papov - Yung Logos
Sunday Rain - Cheel
Six Seasons - Unicorn Heads

If you disable hyperthreading on the 2697v4 it could improve the 1% lows in some games. Nice video showcase.
