4 years and intel doesn't exist in the hedt space and they are behind in everything else and still doesn't look like they have a worthy response. That's very concerning honestly.
I replayed this comment over and over. The pithy honesty hit right on the mark. (The background music helped!) 9:25 "Here's some corporate strategy advice, free of charge, Intel: build the best thing you can, for the best price you can deliver it, and you won't get blindsided by a competitor who walks in and delivers something way better for a lower price."
Raid keys remind me of when I bought my truck. The dealership wanted a few hundred extra for keyless entry so I declined but later after I got the truck home I was thinking maybe I should've just bought it but figured I could probably do it aftermarket much cheaper. So I go online to check prices and it turns out that everything I need for keyless entry is already built into the trucks electronics, even the radio receiver it was all there the only thing I needed was the little remote that goes on your keychain called a key fob. I ordered a key fob for 4 dollars on amazon when it came I synced it to the truck and had it working in less than 2 minutes. I couldn't believe they tried to charge me $400 for a 4 dollar piece of plastic and 2 minutes of labor, how do they even sleep at night.
huckjam yep people all over the world man. My lcd monitor was not working and i took it to an computer repair guy. He asked 2000 rupees for that (convert to $ if u want man). I decided to repair it since the monitor was old. Turns out the power capacitor was blown out and when I went to the electronics market to buy one, the shopkeeper gave me 2 capacitors for 10 rupees since he didn't have change😅 . Even if u can't convert it $ see the difference between 2k and 10 . Fuckers!!!
That's not really a good comparison, kinda like comparing apples to oranges. While yeah it might be a big difference in price, but the thing is with a repair you are aren't just paying for the part...You are also paying for the service and the repairman's experience & skill. Not everyone knows how to repair things like electronics themselves or just don't have the time to do it themselves. You are also paying for the convenience of having someone else doing it for you, instead of trying to figure what's wrong then looking up how to do the repair, finding and buying the right parts and all the tools you might need to do the repair, and then actually doing the repairs without messing anything up. I do agree that a lot times people who do repairs charge WAY more than they should especially for things that are simple to fix or something you could do yourself. The best thing is always to do research on your issue and always call up a few different places to see what they charge.
Exactly, the entire monitor board is worth a couple of bucks, but when you buy it you are paying the time working on it, salaries patents and shit. Same as when people ask for parts or someone brings a PC for diagnosis, normally I don't charge for diagnosis or questions about parts, but it IS time wasted for me, I'm here telling you shit for free instead of being in the beach or hanging out with friends, or even relaxed taking a dump and reading lol.
James Laforme I agree with your view that not everyone would want to invest time to see how it can be repaired or have soldering tools or have the guts to try it but what I won't agree is that he was charging fairly because another repair shop charged me 350 for a similar job- changing a capacitor in the mobo
He better wash his hair before goes bald. I heard the rain in Taiwan is high in acidity due to the pollution there that's been connected with hair loss for Taiwanese.

Another thing, somewhat off-topic: this was the best video I have seen from this channel in a long long time. Probably, ever. I want this kind of videos, with sincere and strong opinions, right to the camera, without unnecessary jokes and effects. Also, I apologize for losing faith in his opinions before. This video showed me that I was wrong and that Linus is a genuine and sincere guy. This video required some huge balls, because of the magnitude of his channel and the repercussions of his opinions and reviews. +1 to Linus for being faithful to himself and the truth.
i absolutely agree. it is so nice to see Linus Tech Tips put out a video that is just pure information and advice. I appreciate they have to do what gets them views, but its nice to see that LTT can break away from that now and then and just put out a video that's a little rough around the edges because its important information.
Content aside, the exposition in this video was top tier. Don't get me wrong I love the usual lighthearted Linus, but this approach was hard hitting and very engaging. Keep expanding on your cinematic approach, this was great work.
OzTalksHW true, been watching loads of your videos by the way. Doing a great job, you'll have 500k subscribers before you know it. Could have told joker productions and the like that when they had 4k subscribers.
Watching this in late 2018. Linus, you need more of these kinds of talks man. The ambience of the video really set the tone and mood also. Great stuff.
Hmm, if you're a geography buff like me, you are wondering, "What city he is walking around in?" (also because people are instinctively shunning the camera, which makes me want to go there) At 7:17 you see "Fu Hau" which is a hotel in Taipei. It's on his left, and he turns left out of his hotel, so tracing back his steps, that sweet hotel room appears to be the Park Taipei Hotel. *A STEAL AT $82/NIGHT!* Thanks Google maps.
I love how Raw Linus is blowing up in views and TH-cam search is popping if you start to type the channel you see I9. Viral in other words. Love it! Please do more raw videos again. We love you!!!
Makes it even more awful. Same thing with Optane caching for the 16gb and 32gb. They try to make it sound like a DLC too. You have to use their "special sauce" for HDD caching. You CAN use it like any other drive if you want to. But they try to limit everyone through software choices AND they limit you by bullshitting about what's doable and what is not.
So true, Linus has gone the way of mainstream lately but this video definitely hit home. I've really enjoyed Intel's products since the Pentium 4 but dare I say it may be time to give AMD a shot on the next rig...
The B350 chipset works really well with the 1700 too, make sure you look at reviews though because some boards haven't been that well received. I'm partial to MSI (I have the X370 gaming carbon) but that is just my very humble opinion.
This is why i subscribed. Other tech channels drop to their knees and articulate their satisfaction in a grand manner at the slightest whiff of X299 and the new i9. LTT approach these launches in a much more analytical fashion, look at the data, contemplate their opinions on the matter, and THEN make a video. That's the way to do it.
This video was fuckin dope. It was reminiscent of some plot twist in a movie where I have no idea what the fuck is going on. It also made me resub, I love how honest and upfront you're being. Keep doin' that.
Linus should have played the backtrack to STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA while walking hehe or maybe STREETS OF TAIWAN i was bruised and battered i didn't ...care what intel felt they were...... unrecognizable ..... to myself etc LMFAO
This is the first video in at least a year that shows how Linus really cares about the tech market. No clickbait, No outrageous thumbnail, classic Linus talking tech. I'd love to see more videos like this in the future.
This is why I still love and watch Linus' channel. When there's something that ain't right, he's not afraid to stand up and speak about it, even if it's something with his own channel or a company that he is sponsored by. I'm glad that we got this video even if it's instead of Scrapyard Wars. Keep up the good work! :-)
Yeah. When he mentioned it's the end of x299, I remembered the beginning and this eloquent emotional video about intel BS that made us all see how intel is mortal. I felt nostalgic for some reason.
I love you, Linus. I miss this Linus. The one who was honest and simple. The one who offered strong opinions and a large insight into the topic at hand...
i concur, been wattching him since he started and has been the biggest info source for me pretty much, i later go research more - but it is apparent he wishes to bring the importance to the mainstream.. thats the biggest thing to note :)
I'm sure intel went into panic mode knowing that 98% of their consumers know very little about specifications and just used the "up to" so the average consumer can say oh wow this way better than AMD. But as you can see people that know their stuff this is really disappointing.
Randy Gareth I actually prefer this. I delidded my 3770k awhile back and used better paste (Coollaboraties Liquid Ultra) and saw a major temperature reduction. The stuff they use looks like dried silly putter and doesn't seem efficient at all and feels completely on purpose.
shamanik1320 of course it would be great for thermals. but the thing is IHS are put on for a reason. they are there to protect the CPU from being damaged by the cooler when mounting. imagine a typical customer putting on their heatsink only to find out they chipped their CPU and thus bricked it? that would be a sad day indeed
shamanik1320 my cpu has shitty paste in there as well, but im afraid of destroying the die after replacing it. My heatsink is a thermalright macho, and it puts way more pressure onto the cpu that i would like.
This 100%. New series idea, shit even a full blown new channel. Linus away from the corporations 1 on 1 with the consumers, honest with no sponsored strings attached.
ikr,its like when intel had the $50 upgrade card which unlocked extra features (Core & more cache) that a Pentium already had build in but was disabled,I think Intel is in a bit of a panic with the upcoming CPUs,they dont like it that AMD are giving us CPUs which are both great performers with lots of cores at a reasonable price...about time they had some solid competition again.
I rarely comment on TH-cam, but this one deserves it - *VERY* well put, Linus. Seeing how ridiculously conservative (regarding everything from core count, to PCIe lanes, to memory channels, to connectivity options...) Intel has been for such a long time, and now trying to catch up in one of the most messy attempts at it ever seen... is almost tragic.
I absolutely ADORE how AMD has utterly derailed Intel into a quivering clusterf***. I've used and loved Intel CPUs for the past 10 years and it floors me to have competition in the market again after over a decade of Intel's domination. The market shakeup is REAL.
The shake up is really good though. I used to love AMD back in the day too. Even my Radeon video cards. The last 15 years it's been Intel and NVidia for me.
Why so? You should be happy for the competition, because without it, they can sell you sh*t and tell you it's gold. This is the way actually, AMD is doing the favour for the Intel. No need to worry, Intel will get back on track. (AMD fan) ;)
Which is EXACTLY what everyone (with a brain) was hoping for. AMD needed to get their act together and put out something that pushed Intel hard, and scared them into getting themselves into gear. But Intel has completely forgotten how to be competitive the last few years and this hodgepodge i9 stuff demonstrates it. "Wait, WHAT did AMD just announce?! HOLY COW! Quick, guys, we need to do something in the worst way." "OK, boss, we've done something in the worst way."
Spot on Brick. All Intel did was release some prototype sitting on a shelf. It's so unfinished. I would love for AMD to make a comeback. They used to be my favorite back in the early 2000's Athlon days.
I've been squarely in the Intel camp for five years, because of their unbeatable per-core performance... But my first gaming build was a Phenom II x6 1090t, the best performance and value you could get on the market in its time. Damn fine CPU. And let's not forget AMD's glory days of having the first consumer 64-bit CPU, and their "FPU 3D Now!" technology, a special instruction set designed to speed up 3D graphics performance via the CPU. It was basically the forerunner to modern-day integrated graphics. AMD have been flapping their arms for far too long now; I'm glad to see them coming back.
cause AMD cares about what they sell, not the money they get. which is ironic cause people running intel is the idiots that takes everything for granted runnig around with their smart-everythings, connected with their phone they dont even know what internals it have, to drive around in their car with probably several of their own products in. and they are legit killing future of the devices they would use themselves, kinda. comming from somone who was cinsidering buying the 12 core, but decided to wait for 7nm instead(probably also the 7nm intel lineup) cause lets face it, raw performance, they still do kinda lead. if you remove price
hell no, android doesn't have a competitor, apple just outright sucks ass aside from creating and maintaining a brand wide infrastructure. at least intel can be useful if you get it for free, apple I just outright sell to the highest bidder.
My droid can do basically everything my PC can aside from hardware limitations. My friend just spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to change the brightness level on his iphones flashlight. TBH he's the perfect match for the iphone...
I see your point, that you believe that android is better, but Apple is a competitor, even if it sucks as you say. Currently Apple holds about 20% of the market share on smartphones, which means that every fifth phone sold in the past couple of years is an iPhone, which makes Apple quite a serious competitor, even if it sucks.
This is the kind of serious down to earth content that i like to see from LTT, i stopped watching after all the videos became clickbait thumbnails and garbage, but its nice to see a return to a more serious and concerned LTT even if its only for one video.
Well, to be fair to them, there wasn´t much happening and they don´t want to depend on launches of some cool new HW, but it´s gr8 to see, that when an interesting stuff happens, they are on it.
i am at around 6 minute mark, and just wanted to make a statement that i am enjoying the 'real talk' style of this, that of which feels rather unscripted(aside from your talking notes cell), and feels like you are really speaking your thoughts rather than excitingly reading the cue card. keeping doing whatever brings in the views for you guys but just wanted to share my opinion, i like this style...back to finishing video
"i am at around 6 minute mark, and just wanted to make a statement that i am enjoying the 'real talk' style of this, that of which feels rather unscripted(aside from your talking notes cell), and feels like you are really speaking your thoughts rather than excitingly reading the cue card. keeping doing whatever brings in the views for you guys but just wanted to share my opinion, i like this style..." Same here. Many videos are TOO scripted, I appreciate the honesty and sincerity.
Wow, i loved this format. This was well written (if this was spontaneous man linus you give some epic speeches) ... Music compliment was great and scenery choice was excellent
Love to see so many agree with it, I wish he does more of these dynamic environment videos, I tend to focus more on what he says this way, almost like we are walking by him as he talks us through
Surprisingly, this was an amazing video. Your honest evaluation and frank criticisms aside, the city-wandering commentary was very enjoyable to watch and to listen to, and the melancholy vibe of Intel's anti-consumer choices matched well with the aesthetic of the gentle rain in Taipei. Thank you for your experienced, unfiltered opinion on Kaby Lake X.
Misha880 actually a few years ago Intel had the opportunity to buy out AMD but they didn't because they feared if there was no competitor it would halt progress. So I guess you could say they planned for this to happen.
To paraphrase Peter Thiel, to start worrying about your competition more than your own product is to basically lose your edge. Intel is more worried about what AMD is doing (or not doing) that they have lost focus on producing products that make sense to the consumers.
Great opinion piece. Instead of PR dribble, just a guy talking about tech in a passionate and informed manner. kudos. More of the style of content, please.
hey @Linustechtips I have been watching your videos for 6 to 7 year I guess, and I really like your content, it got me build my first gaming pc and now my server what I am trying to say is your videos have changed the way that I use to view hardware, and today after seeing this video I am worried about your health, as it's clearly visible that you are stress out, overworked,tired or may be even sick, amazing video's as all ways and I hope you take care of your health
Been an Intel user for years. I know the Ryzen had issues at launch, but after reading an article, just this AM, about how AMD is working very hard with the MB manufactures to get Ryzen up to full speed, via driver and firmware updates, my next build will be AMD. I will not support this BS from Intel. Seriously, a 99.00 dollar RAID unlock key on TOP of the ridiculous price for the CPU and new MB. Bye Intel.
Intel has been doing this same kind of stupid shiz since the 286 days.These days I am 100% AMD CPU and Nvidia for GPU. And I see absolutely NO reason to change it. Fvck Intel.
Thankfully spectre is only a firmware issue for AMD. Intel will need to solve the issue in a much more convoluted way. Basically a redesign of the cpu security on their next chipset. Which is always a good thing.
I just like that they broke the bubble. Tech info occurs in the real world...and effects the real world. Seeing these discussions occur in the real world was refreshing.
Intel USED to mean "the best" for just about everything. Slowly, while reigning over all other manufacturers, they grew complacent. They only tried to stay a little bit ahead and now that AMD has made a comeback, they are out of practice on how to react. Linus, your criticisms (per usual) are more than fair. Intel, WTF?!? This is the first generation I'm going AMD on. YOU DID THIS!!!!!
TigerDan04 Well it's not like these two companies haven't been doing this for the past 30 years almost, Intel has been the top dog and every 10 years give or take AMD pulls a rabbit out of their hat which sends Intel flailing for a year or two then guess where AMD ends back up again? Yup back in second place as always, they don't innovate anything for another ten years and the process repeats.
AMD hammered the shit out of Intel in the Athlon days, and not for just a year or two. I don't think Ryzen will be on that level, but Ryzen is definitely gonna take Intel down 3 or 4 pegs.
+SilvaDreams I can't believe that some fanboy would stay as loyal as to justify the complacent of intel nowadays... oh well, glad that I stop being a fanboy ever since I realized how shit their kabylake is and how hard AMD have been trying to improve with their new products...
Don't get me wrong I have loved AMD when they were in their good years, Back in 96' and again shocking in 06' and now they are back ahead of Intel in 2017. They'll likely lead the market till around 2020 when Intel manages to pull their pants up and start innovating themselves instead of pumping out these "new" processors which aren't worth buying for a whole 5% performance increase over the last series.
I'll tell you one thing. I know shit about what you're talking about. (And I have been around when they launched the "First" Mac in the 80's) It's your passion that grabs me and tells me that there's something wrong or incorrect that going on. I don't think you get down to the point of reading this since you have another 16k of comments. But understand one thing. You're doing OUTSTANDING work that the entire community can count on. Keep it up, and keep on pushing for change and understanding.
Way over my head here but " make the best product you can at the lowest prices you can " should be the #1 goal ( Intel / Apple ) / it's hard to believe that 2017- AMD is making 2017-Intel look like amateurs ( loved that street walking in the rain metaphor )
I was waiting for him to bump into the row of mopeds and knock them all down, then quickly cut to him and the camera guy running down an alley, and then them back on another sidewalk talking again. #justlinusthings
Actual video starts @ 3:49 (before that is typical Linus schilling for board makers) Now, regarding the video starting @ 3:49: This is the most brutally honest and refreshing tech video ever uploaded to TH-cam. Linus you could have literally ended your channel after this. The ultimate mic drop... sadly you only went down from here.
@@hardbodybrain Looking back on this now (after the 3950X & TR announcements) this was basically Intel's last gasp before AMD officially buried them... RIP Intel.
We def need more of this. I still like the childish style of the old video for ease, but for people who really want to learn about Technology, they should check this out!
Consumers: Man, the pc hardware market has been stagnant for way too long, 4~5% increase in performance per year sucks. We want something new. Intel: You mean like physical DLC? Consumers: What? Intel: Yeah like when you buy a game with locked content that it's already there and then pay extra to unlock it. Consumers: What? No. That's horrible. We mean like an actual new architecture that's scalable and makes it easier for software developers to not rely so much on single-thread performance since we are still not seeing the huge improvement from multicore processing we were promised 10 years ago. Intel: Oh, real life DLC it is then.
A lot of the lack of multicore performance comes from the significantly increased difficulty making multithreaded applications work properly. With a single thread, the instructions are processed in an easy to predict order. Instruction A goes first, then B, then C. With multithreading, you have no way of knowing until runtime what order the instructions will be processed in. Sure, it should be relatively easy to prevent race conditions or improper use of locking mechanisms, but when you have 20 people working on an application, it's a lot easier for one person's code to interfere with another's.
I'm not very educated on this matter, but what it looks like to me is that the current basis for computer technology is nearing the end of its expansion, it seems like something fundamentally innovative and revolutionary needs to be created in order to see the same exponential growth that we've seen in the past.
Gamers Nexus aren't exactly what i'd call "reputable". By the way "sucks" is a massive exaggeration, while they will be slightly slower than Sky/kabylake, they will be at least as fast as the majority of intels mainstream chips at gaming. Zen has much higher IPC than Sandybridge, which is still considered an extremely capable architecture to this day for gaming. So no, ThreadRipper will not "suck" at gaming.
This seems a ground-breaking video concept. Much respect for you Linus being able to talk on and on like that while making sense and actually educating people. As always though, please cut out the commercials.
LInus this was one of the best videos u make in years may be . i am watching your channel from long time and really like this type of video . do more videos like this specially running outside in rainy day and talking about very serious matter ..
When I first saw them listed, my first thought was, "wow! the x chips dropped a lot in price!" thinking they would be on par with the 6800k or somewhere there abouts. Then as I read the specs I was met with nothing but disappointment when I realized it was just the 7600K and 7700k without onboard graphics and needing a more expensive motherboard.
I love Intel chips/builds, but it seems that with AMD firing Ryzen/Threadripper, Intel is no longer creating the enthusiast market, but reacting to it, and in a terrible way. I've never wanted to build an AMD system until recently. Intel has been monopolizing the market for too long, and it's showing.
ihniwtpu if apple create amd based pc/laptop i will buy it :D im even not fan of mac but it will be interesting to see mac with amd apu (raven ridge) it will beat every intel apu (i7,i5,i3) because cpu will be strong between r5 1400 and 1500x and igpu will be based on vega and it will be strong between rx 550 and 560
Great video! As others have commented, the sound was great even for being outside. My one complaint is the video shake near the end. It was really hard to watch. If you do more videos like this (and I hope you do), maybe you can get some sort of gimbal for the camera? Even with the shake, it was still a great video. Keep up the good work.
This video has redeemed my faith in LinusTechTips and my subscription. The 0% BS of this video was great it really felt like Linus was connecting with the audience in a much stronger way than just making a fool of himself
GoldenPheonix totally agree with you and with Linus, Intel is doing some crazy stuff randomly because of AMD. they should just do what they had planned instead of doing things that they don't even know if they are going to work.
Same for me, the only thing that I watch on this channel anymore is the WAN show and Scrapyard Wars, the rest just went to crap for my taste. 2014 and below I genuinely enjoyed.
I agree - recent content has been pretty much total garbage - filler content just to meet the release schedule. I honestly think having a schedule is only worthwhile if you can consistently generate that much content.
I think Linus just realized that Intel has a monopoly on the desktop and server chip market and that they're trying to deliver the minimum viable product for the highest price possible. They've done stuff like this for every gen of the extreme edition chips.
I'm pretty sure Linus knew this already. the big problem is that for YEARS, Intel was basically the only option for high-end, whether you were an intel fan or AMD fan. Ryzen is AMD's first new processor since forever, and it's almost like Intel has forgotten how to do business.
I think you're being too easy on them. This is the culmination of years of "market segmentation", which is great for business folks, goes over average consumers heads and really infuriates enthusiasts (non fanboy type). I see they want to respond to thread ripper but they've segmented so much their entire business model is not flexible enough to accommodate an appropriate response. They're going to need an entirely new top down re-think which will take at least a year or two, but the pressure is that in the next 8-12 months there is a strong possibility that AMD takes back a huge chunk of the market.
_A gloomy day, a cheerless Linus_ _on a rainy street-stroll_ _contemplates corporate slyness,_ _it's clearly taking its toll._ _A kick in the ball, a real blow,_ _turning into shadow from a leading role..._ _While Intel stole, AMD stole the show_ _doing things with heart and soul._
CORRECTION: Intel *has* specified pricing - it doesn't really change any of my points -LS

Content aside, the exposition in this video was top tier. Don't get me wrong I love the usual lighthearted Linus, but this approach was hard hitting and very engaging.
Keep expanding on your cinematic approach, this was great work.
Best Linus video in a while, that walk is really god damn entertaining
My name is also Linus BTW
Somehow, this makes your review of the video more relevant
i suffered all that time he walked, his neck must have hurt so much at the end of it
ikr I was about to click away but the walk was great, his pure thoughts are very entertaining
Is he living in China ?
Make more videos like this. A bit melodramatic, but informative and honest nonetheless.
OzTalksHW Its great to see you here man!
Hey Oz :D
I too like OZTalksHW's channel.
I subbed to you like 3 days ago and now I found you here woah
OzTalksHW true, been watching loads of your videos by the way. Doing a great job, you'll have 500k subscribers before you know it. Could have told joker productions and the like that when they had 4k subscribers.
I'm here because of the latest video "I need to buy AMD stock. NOW."
Crazy it's been 2 years. Time just doesn't want to slow down does it
Of course not.
Ahh, have you remembered that AMD rendered time irrelevant😉
The fact that Linus just ranted his talking points in the rain in a foreign country with semi-depressing ambient music is why he's the greatest.
what country is it? kind of looks like hong kong
powerLien Taiwan
Möbius
Its like a movie. Holy shit
powerLien Taipei, Taiwan
powerLien taiwan
Now where was this linus all these years. This is the linus we remember. This is what neutral unbiased tech reporting is. You were missed man
ali imran a better video then throwing shitty RGB strips on a fucking chair.
Exactly what I was thinking!
ali imran ..This is innermost Linus. Linus has Ryzen... i mean risen
I vote for more videos of Linus making a point while wandering through cities
Some suggested locales: Hong Kong, New York, London, Shanghai, Seattle, Rome, Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles.
I agree lol
Seoul Cheonggyecheon, Busan beach XD
Urik Kane I really did enjoy the Taipei scenery, and the rain just made it that much better.
Cross the street that slowly in some American Cities, and you are likely to get run over
Watching this in late 2018.
Linus, you need more of these kinds of talks man. The ambience of the video really set the tone and mood also. Great stuff.
Don't be sorry for this type of video Linus. I think most of your viewers are more appreciative of content like this.
NewKingBrandon it's good to know what's not so good about something before you put lots of money in to it
Well said good sir, well said.
This was one of the best videos from Linus in a while.
Exactly - he was correct in (almost) everything and he was right to rant.
NewKingBrandon i would but i understand only half of it
Legend has it, Linus is still walking around the world ranting about Intel...
And it's still raining in Taipei
Mauricio Almeida That's true. It'll be raining till Tue.
Linus walking the streets of Taiwan like he owns the place.
But good thing that he left Taiwan before it got flooded during the weekend.
I'm pretty sure thats japan
(I know a place that looks exactly like that in tokyo)
+TFOP]FireTail
14:00 He literally says he's in Taiwan
This is in Taiwan. He went there for Computex.
He can't own anything wearing sandals with socks.
Hmm, if you're a geography buff like me, you are wondering, "What city he is walking around in?" (also because people are instinctively shunning the camera, which makes me want to go there)
At 7:17 you see "Fu Hau" which is a hotel in Taipei. It's on his left, and he turns left out of his hotel, so tracing back his steps, that sweet hotel room appears to be the Park Taipei Hotel. *A STEAL AT $82/NIGHT!* Thanks Google maps.
My good sir you are amazing
In Daan station.
I love how Raw Linus is blowing up in views and TH-cam search is popping if you start to type the channel you see I9. Viral in other words. Love it! Please do more raw videos again. We love you!!!
Linus is RAAAAAWWWWW!!!
Don't think of it as a raid key, think of it as DLC for your PC
Robert Renton best comment ahaha
cant agree more
Robert Renton u got that right ... hahahaha
Makes it even more awful. Same thing with Optane caching for the 16gb and 32gb. They try to make it sound like a DLC too. You have to use their "special sauce" for HDD caching. You CAN use it like any other drive if you want to. But they try to limit everyone through software choices AND they limit you by bullshitting about what's doable and what is not.
-AMD: "No one can fuck up a CPU launch more than we did!"
-Intel: "Hold my beer...."
pSyk lol
I wish I could upvote this more than once.
pSyk you made me spill my beer 😂😂
well ... linus can :)
lmao
3:49 Walking on Taiwan while discussing computers never gets old.
I haven't seen such a relevant, or powerful video like this from Linus in a long time.
So true, Linus has gone the way of mainstream lately but this video definitely hit home. I've really enjoyed Intel's products since the Pentium 4 but dare I say it may be time to give AMD a shot on the next rig...
I have a Ryzen 7 1700 on an x370 motherboard, absolutely no regret here.
Tyler do you think a B350 would be a good motherboard to pair with a 1700? or should I put out the extra cash for the x370.
The B350 chipset works really well with the 1700 too, make sure you look at reviews though because some boards haven't been that well received. I'm partial to MSI (I have the X370 gaming carbon) but that is just my very humble opinion.
Valentin. I don't believe you can Crossfire on the B350. I could be wrong, but check on that if you want to use Crossfire.
The thumbnail looks like linus is about to drop the hottest rap album of 2017

"Dropping Prices better than Intel Would" feat. Nicky V. Produced by Dennis
This is why i subscribed. Other tech channels drop to their knees and articulate their satisfaction in a grand manner at the slightest whiff of X299 and the new i9. LTT approach these launches in a much more analytical fashion, look at the data, contemplate their opinions on the matter, and THEN make a video. That's the way to do it.
Money for gushing and chips for free.
This video was fuckin dope. It was reminiscent of some plot twist in a movie where I have no idea what the fuck is going on.
It also made me resub, I love how honest and upfront you're being. Keep doin' that.
Linus should have played the backtrack to STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA while walking hehe
or maybe STREETS OF TAIWAN
i was bruised and battered
i didn't ...care what intel felt
they were...... unrecognizable ..... to myself
etc
LMFAO
This is the first video in at least a year that shows how Linus really cares about the tech market. No clickbait, No outrageous thumbnail, classic Linus talking tech. I'd love to see more videos like this in the future.
"No clickbait"
you really havent seen that many TH-cam video titles have you?
Very true. Before this video, I was seriously considering unsubscribing.
BluShammrock yes I agree with you sooo much I hope he sees your comment
Same
but...I love the dumb thumbnails...
Up To™ -Intel
Up to no good™ -Intel
and they started putting cores in my neighbourhood
Intel™ UpToNe™ SSD
man if I can get "up to" 1000 subs lol
This is why I still love and watch Linus' channel. When there's something that ain't right, he's not afraid to stand up and speak about it, even if it's something with his own channel or a company that he is sponsored by. I'm glad that we got this video even if it's instead of Scrapyard Wars. Keep up the good work! :-)
Back after the i9-10980XE review. This feels so good
Yeah. When he mentioned it's the end of x299, I remembered the beginning and this eloquent emotional video about intel BS that made us all see how intel is mortal. I felt nostalgic for some reason.
Best Linus is non-salesman Linus.
nah he's just an AMD fanboy trying to turn people off Intel
tom0900060 actually, he prefers Intel so I don't know what your smoking
tom0900060 first he's an intel shill. now he's an amd fanboy. make up your mind! hahaha
He has always been an amd fanboy, did you see those ryzen thumbnails, it's disgusting. I believe he would divorce his wife for Lisa Su.
Linus is already owned by Nvidia, so not sure what with amd and intel stuff is about.
15min of pure, passionate tech talk, keep up the good work Linus :)
I love you, Linus. I miss this Linus. The one who was honest and simple. The one who offered strong opinions and a large insight into the topic at hand...
i concur, been wattching him since he started and has been the biggest info source for me pretty much, i later go research more - but it is apparent he wishes to bring the importance to the mainstream.. thats the biggest thing to note :)
Chris723 he's explained how he deals with companies and his opinions. quite a few won't send him a review copy because he was brutal in the past.
shadowreaver752 which only proofs how right he was
yeah I really missed the honesty part recently but as far as I know that he is applied to say what companies want him to say.
I'm sure intel went into panic mode knowing that 98% of their consumers know very little about specifications and just used the "up to" so the average consumer can say oh wow this way better than AMD. But as you can see people that know their stuff this is really disappointing.
People who consider buying Core i9 would probably be at least mildly interested in technologies, so, it's hard to trick them.
Intel's new low: DLC hardware packages.
It's not new: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Upgrade_Service
perhaps they'll start charging extra for IHS thermal compound and expect the consumers to apply it themselves
Randy Gareth I actually prefer this. I delidded my 3770k awhile back and used better paste (Coollaboraties Liquid Ultra) and saw a major temperature reduction. The stuff they use looks like dried silly putter and doesn't seem efficient at all and feels completely on purpose.
shamanik1320 of course it would be great for thermals. but the thing is IHS are put on for a reason. they are there to protect the CPU from being damaged by the cooler when mounting. imagine a typical customer putting on their heatsink only to find out they chipped their CPU and thus bricked it? that would be a sad day indeed
shamanik1320 my cpu has shitty paste in there as well, but im afraid of destroying the die after replacing it. My heatsink is a thermalright macho, and it puts way more pressure onto the cpu that i would like.
Need more of Linus Tech Walks
Lelouch Yagami This.
This 100%. New series idea, shit even a full blown new channel. Linus away from the corporations 1 on 1 with the consumers, honest with no sponsored strings attached.
walking and talking - the George Lucas school of film making
This is by far the best video I've seen in ages. It's all from the heart. Please share this video
i totally agree
nani1962
Aye, it's nice to see Linus being more personal and rambly.
yes absolutely. more like this please.
totally
I would like this comment but it's stuck at 666, so I wont
Just watched this again in 2023, still a great mark of the start of the malaise era of Intel chips.

Why has the dlc market made its way into the pc hardware market?
welcome to the modern computer hardware market
link77709 oh shit... you right... we all need to stop this !!!!
Whoa. All of life is becoming dlc. Rip.
ikr,its like when intel had the $50 upgrade card which unlocked extra features (Core & more cache) that a Pentium already had build in but was disabled,I think Intel is in a bit of a panic with the upcoming CPUs,they dont like it that AMD are giving us CPUs which are both great performers with lots of cores at a reasonable price...about time they had some solid competition again.
i mean technically all life is DLC- what, you think that yacht is going to come with a base pack?
I rarely comment on TH-cam, but this one deserves it - *VERY* well put, Linus. Seeing how ridiculously conservative (regarding everything from core count, to PCIe lanes, to memory channels, to connectivity options...) Intel has been for such a long time, and now trying to catch up in one of the most messy attempts at it ever seen... is almost tragic.
I have no idea what he's talking about with regard to all the specs, but it's fun to watch anyway
I absolutely ADORE how AMD has utterly derailed Intel into a quivering clusterf***. I've used and loved Intel CPUs for the past 10 years and it floors me to have competition in the market again after over a decade of Intel's domination. The market shakeup is REAL.
The shake up is really good though. I used to love AMD back in the day too. Even my Radeon video cards. The last 15 years it's been Intel and NVidia for me.
Why so?
You should be happy for the competition, because without it, they can sell you sh*t and tell you it's gold. This is the way actually, AMD is doing the favour for the Intel.
No need to worry, Intel will get back on track. (AMD fan) ;)
Which is EXACTLY what everyone (with a brain) was hoping for. AMD needed to get their act together and put out something that pushed Intel hard, and scared them into getting themselves into gear. But Intel has completely forgotten how to be competitive the last few years and this hodgepodge i9 stuff demonstrates it. "Wait, WHAT did AMD just announce?! HOLY COW! Quick, guys, we need to do something in the worst way." "OK, boss, we've done something in the worst way."
Spot on Brick. All Intel did was release some prototype sitting on a shelf. It's so unfinished. I would love for AMD to make a comeback. They used to be my favorite back in the early 2000's Athlon days.
I've been squarely in the Intel camp for five years, because of their unbeatable per-core performance... But my first gaming build was a Phenom II x6 1090t, the best performance and value you could get on the market in its time. Damn fine CPU. And let's not forget AMD's glory days of having the first consumer 64-bit CPU, and their "FPU 3D Now!" technology, a special instruction set designed to speed up 3D graphics performance via the CPU. It was basically the forerunner to modern-day integrated graphics.
AMD have been flapping their arms for far too long now; I'm glad to see them coming back.
This is the most honest Linus video I have ever seen. AMD just destroyed Intels brain and I think its time to jump ship to AMD as my brain in my pc
cause AMD cares about what they sell, not the money they get. which is ironic cause people running intel is the idiots that takes everything for granted runnig around with their smart-everythings, connected with their phone they dont even know what internals it have, to drive around in their car with probably several of their own products in. and they are legit killing future of the devices they would use themselves, kinda. comming from somone who was cinsidering buying the 12 core, but decided to wait for 7nm instead(probably also the 7nm intel lineup) cause lets face it, raw performance, they still do kinda lead. if you remove price
amd vs intel is like android vs apple, amd being android.
hell no, android doesn't have a competitor, apple just outright sucks ass aside from creating and maintaining a brand wide infrastructure. at least intel can be useful if you get it for free, apple I just outright sell to the highest bidder.
My droid can do basically everything my PC can aside from hardware limitations. My friend just spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to change the brightness level on his iphones flashlight. TBH he's the perfect match for the iphone...
I see your point, that you believe that android is better, but Apple is a competitor, even if it sucks as you say. Currently Apple holds about 20% of the market share on smartphones, which means that every fifth phone sold in the past couple of years is an iPhone, which makes Apple quite a serious competitor, even if it sucks.
This is the kind of serious down to earth content that i like to see from LTT, i stopped watching after all the videos became clickbait thumbnails and garbage, but its nice to see a return to a more serious and concerned LTT even if its only for one video.
ender25ish I come to LinusTechTips for the thumbnails, fuck the content!
So on point, there are degrees to selling out and yeah I unsubbed forever ago and stumbling on this vid was a pleasant surprise.
Well, to be fair to them, there wasn´t much happening and they don´t want to depend on launches of some cool new HW, but it´s gr8 to see, that when an interesting stuff happens, they are on it.
They could have made a lot more videos about Ryzen and 1080TI. The memory lottery with Ryzen could alone be content for 10 videos.
Exactly..
After watching this video, I becacme aware of Linus' true knowledge about technology.
I wonder if Linus is still ranting about this all the way to Canada
I wouldn't want the seat next to him on the way back.
CrespoFTW legends say he is
I would.
+Andrew Dunn I wouldn't want to be in the same cabin as him.
What about mentioning the RED cameras...
i am at around 6 minute mark, and just wanted to make a statement that i am enjoying the 'real talk' style of this, that of which feels rather unscripted(aside from your talking notes cell), and feels like you are really speaking your thoughts rather than excitingly reading the cue card. keeping doing whatever brings in the views for you guys but just wanted to share my opinion, i like this style...back to finishing video
The criticisms i feel are fair. good video. would love to see more content like this in the future when it is warranted.
Daniel Jensen i know right!
"i am at around 6 minute mark, and just wanted to make a statement that i am enjoying the 'real talk' style of this, that of which feels rather unscripted(aside from your talking notes cell), and feels like you are really speaking your thoughts rather than excitingly reading the cue card. keeping doing whatever brings in the views for you guys but just wanted to share my opinion, i like this style..."
Same here. Many videos are TOO scripted, I appreciate the honesty and sincerity.
Wow, i loved this format. This was well written (if this was spontaneous man linus you give some epic speeches) ... Music compliment was great and scenery choice was excellent
Loved the opportunity to see some of downtown Taipei in the background Linus! Gan xie!
Love to see so many agree with it, I wish he does more of these dynamic environment videos, I tend to focus more on what he says this way, almost like we are walking by him as he talks us through
Surprisingly, this was an amazing video. Your honest evaluation and frank criticisms aside, the city-wandering commentary was very enjoyable to watch and to listen to, and the melancholy vibe of Intel's anti-consumer choices matched well with the aesthetic of the gentle rain in Taipei. Thank you for your experienced, unfiltered opinion on Kaby Lake X.
This is the stuff I always liked best about not really LMG but Linus and the rain is funny lol
Intel just realized that AMD might actually be a legitimate competitor and went into panic mode. So much for monopolizing the CPU market.
Misha880 they started messing up, like MS lost their monopoly, same is gonna happen to Intel, RIP
Not to mention Qualcomm / Microsoft is coming for them at the low end.
Misha880 what a comment
Misha880 actually a few years ago Intel had the opportunity to buy out AMD but they didn't because they feared if there was no competitor it would halt progress. So I guess you could say they planned for this to happen.
To paraphrase Peter Thiel, to start worrying about your competition more than your own product is to basically lose your edge. Intel is more worried about what AMD is doing (or not doing) that they have lost focus on producing products that make sense to the consumers.
Great opinion piece. Instead of PR dribble, just a guy talking about tech in a passionate and informed manner. kudos. More of the style of content, please.
Intel mistake = they didnt pay him enough lmao
Amd x399 is a hundred times better then Intels x299. Do the math!
Hey
So says our might Viking leader!
Robbaz kek
Hey Robbaz!
Robbaz!
hey @Linustechtips I have been watching your videos for 6 to 7 year I guess, and I really like your content, it got me build my first gaming pc and now my server what I am trying to say is your videos have changed the way that I use to view hardware, and today after seeing this video I am worried about your health, as it's clearly visible that you are stress out, overworked,tired or may be even sick, amazing video's as all ways and I hope you take care of your health
DAMN.
Intel f***ed up.
I would love to see more rant/talks with this style.
Linus should do more of these type of videos
Marley absolutely
A physical raid key...like for real!? Might buy an AMD system just for that.
David James like, I'm not even that interested in raid, but I'd buy amd on principle because of that
Does it mean it's just something that UNLOCKS it ? Not something that functions ?
Lukáš Witpeerd hHey you wanna use raid 10? $100 key. You wanna use raid 5? $300 key.
That's how I understood it yeah. Physical DLC basically.
Darko Luketic software RAID is not the same and doesn't make the practice any less annoying
Been an Intel user for years. I know the Ryzen had issues at launch, but after reading an article, just this AM, about how AMD is working very hard with the MB manufactures to get Ryzen up to full speed, via driver and firmware updates, my next build will be AMD. I will not support this BS from Intel. Seriously, a 99.00 dollar RAID unlock key on TOP of the ridiculous price for the CPU and new MB. Bye Intel.
David Dracoules
... and (now) we have Spectre and Meltdown to worry about, on both Intel and AMD chips.
Intel has been doing this same kind of stupid shiz since the 286 days.These days I am 100% AMD CPU and Nvidia for GPU. And I see absolutely NO reason to change it. Fvck Intel.
welcome to team red :)
Thankfully spectre is only a firmware issue for AMD. Intel will need to solve the issue in a much more convoluted way. Basically a redesign of the cpu security on their next chipset. Which is always a good thing.
Did u hear about the Geforce Partner Program? :D
*LOVE THE WALKING FORMAT!!!*
Refreshing since most anyone offers is B- role during these rants
He scared that woman at 9:50 though.
The camera man should be walking backwards and Linus walking forwards (or near). He shouldn't have to turn around to address his audience
I just like that they broke the bubble. Tech info occurs in the real world...and effects the real world. Seeing these discussions occur in the real world was refreshing.
linus' descent into madness over the course of one intel launch
Happens all the time. Intel is dumb at times.
"Happens all the time. Intel is dumb."
FTFY
Not dumb. Greedy to the max.
I can't wait to see what the next episode of madness is
Intel USED to mean "the best" for just about everything. Slowly, while reigning over all other manufacturers, they grew complacent. They only tried to stay a little bit ahead and now that AMD has made a comeback, they are out of practice on how to react.
Linus, your criticisms (per usual) are more than fair.
Intel, WTF?!? This is the first generation I'm going AMD on. YOU DID THIS!!!!!
TigerDan04 xsounds like Apple and every other major tech company in the last decade or so. The big greats grew complacent and others surpassed them
TigerDan04 Well it's not like these two companies haven't been doing this for the past 30 years almost, Intel has been the top dog and every 10 years give or take AMD pulls a rabbit out of their hat which sends Intel flailing for a year or two then guess where AMD ends back up again?
Yup back in second place as always, they don't innovate anything for another ten years and the process repeats.
AMD hammered the shit out of Intel in the Athlon days, and not for just a year or two. I don't think Ryzen will be on that level, but Ryzen is definitely gonna take Intel down 3 or 4 pegs.
+SilvaDreams I can't believe that some fanboy would stay as loyal as to justify the complacent of intel nowadays... oh well, glad that I stop being a fanboy ever since I realized how shit their kabylake is and how hard AMD have been trying to improve with their new products...
Don't get me wrong I have loved AMD when they were in their good years, Back in 96' and again shocking in 06' and now they are back ahead of Intel in 2017. They'll likely lead the market till around 2020 when Intel manages to pull their pants up and start innovating themselves instead of pumping out these "new" processors which aren't worth buying for a whole 5% performance increase over the last series.
I'll tell you one thing. I know shit about what you're talking about. (And I have been around when they launched the "First" Mac in the 80's) It's your passion that grabs me and tells me that there's something wrong or incorrect that going on. I don't think you get down to the point of reading this since you have another 16k of comments. But understand one thing. You're doing OUTSTANDING work that the entire community can count on. Keep it up, and keep on pushing for change and understanding.
Way over my head here but " make the best product you can at the lowest prices you can " should be the #1 goal ( Intel / Apple ) / it's hard to believe that 2017- AMD is making 2017-Intel look like amateurs ( loved that street walking in the rain metaphor )
*Linus had to leave his hotel in fear Intel™ bugged it.*
By then it's already out and they can't stop him anymore!
Maybe the room's bugged to stop the video from coming out? They can't really stop it after a few million views now can they?
No, the rain was the only thing that could cool him down. That's why he went outside.
Linus Real Tips
Hi scattervolt!
Tough luck Intel. I'm buying threadripper anyway.
@InSomnia DrEvil Or he is an enthusiast
Are upgraded to Threadripper third gen?
it feels like a 2013 LTT vid, thanks for talking to us like this Linus.
Good job on not dropping your phone on the pavement/sidewalk. Even with all those sweeping and jerking hand movements, I'm impressed.
LOL XDDDD
:DDDDD:DD:D:D
Fones
Same concerns!
I was waiting for him to bump into the row of mopeds and knock them all down, then quickly cut to him and the camera guy running down an alley, and then them back on another sidewalk talking again.
#justlinusthings
Linus ripping into Intel, best day ever for me XD
im touching my self Ahhh AMD is MVP
Well I guess he is RIPPING into them before AMD RIPS them with their sales of their new CPU line
Actual video starts @ 3:49 (before that is typical Linus schilling for board makers)
Now, regarding the video starting @ 3:49: This is the most brutally honest and refreshing tech video ever uploaded to TH-cam. Linus you could have literally ended your channel after this. The ultimate mic drop... sadly you only went down from here.
Well, there's a part 2 now, essentially
@@hardbodybrain Looking back on this now (after the 3950X & TR announcements) this was basically Intel's last gasp before AMD officially buried them... RIP Intel.
the Rain added to the drama
It rains about 9 days a week in japan
it is taiwan
Taipei rained like crazy over the weekend. Welcome to Taiwan Linus!
More reviews like this please. Lots of depth here.
We def need more of this. I still like the childish style of the old video for ease, but for people who really want to learn about Technology, they should check this out!
Consumers: Man, the pc hardware market has been stagnant for way too long, 4~5% increase in performance per year sucks. We want something new.
Intel: You mean like physical DLC?
Consumers: What?
Intel: Yeah like when you buy a game with locked content that it's already there and then pay extra to unlock it.
Consumers: What? No. That's horrible. We mean like an actual new architecture that's scalable and makes it easier for software developers to not rely so much on single-thread performance since we are still not seeing the huge improvement from multicore processing we were promised 10 years ago.
Intel: Oh, real life DLC it is then.
A lot of the lack of multicore performance comes from the significantly increased difficulty making multithreaded applications work properly. With a single thread, the instructions are processed in an easy to predict order. Instruction A goes first, then B, then C. With multithreading, you have no way of knowing until runtime what order the instructions will be processed in. Sure, it should be relatively easy to prevent race conditions or improper use of locking mechanisms, but when you have 20 people working on an application, it's a lot easier for one person's code to interfere with another's.
Amazing comment :D
lmao Well said. Rate this comment 8/8 gr8 m8
best commment lmfaoo deserves waaaay more likes
I'm not very educated on this matter, but what it looks like to me is that the current basis for computer technology is nearing the end of its expansion, it seems like something fundamentally innovative and revolutionary needs to be created in order to see the same exponential growth that we've seen in the past.
I really love the rain setting and walk kind of background
Linus, this is probably the best video you have made in years.
True
This is better than your usual content, raw, seemingly unedited, and poignant
AMD is killing it by giving consumers what they want and Intel responds with something that is as anti consumer as its gets.
Nazmul Rabbi And they will still sell like hotcakes because the thread ripper sucks at games according to Gamers Nexus and other reviews
Gamers Nexus aren't exactly what i'd call "reputable". By the way "sucks" is a massive exaggeration, while they will be slightly slower than Sky/kabylake, they will be at least as fast as the majority of intels mainstream chips at gaming. Zen has much higher IPC than Sandybridge, which is still considered an extremely capable architecture to this day for gaming. So no, ThreadRipper will not "suck" at gaming.
"thread ripper sucks at games" WTF are you talking about? WHO buys 16 core chip to play games?
Was about to comment this lol, there is the R7 and 7700k ffs, why do people only go for "it sucks at games yada yada".
They don't give consumer what they want, they promess it, but they deliver shit, they're still well behind intel in terms of technology
This seems a ground-breaking video concept. Much respect for you Linus being able to talk on and on like that while making sense and actually educating people. As always though, please cut out the commercials.
LInus this was one of the best videos u make in years may be . i am watching your channel from long time and really like this type of video . do more videos like this specially running outside in rainy day and talking about very serious matter ..
Linus needs a hug.
get him a joint and some munchies for the pain he's going through
new shoes imo
I have talked with some people from the industry and nobody has any idea why Kaby-Lake X is going to be released, it makes no sense.
Tech Showdown throw an X on it its way faster with an X even faster when you xP it lmao
Josiah Jones, good idea! Then after Kaby Lake Xp, release Kaby Lake Vista!
When I first saw them listed, my first thought was, "wow! the x chips dropped a lot in price!" thinking they would be on par with the 6800k or somewhere there abouts. Then as I read the specs I was met with nothing but disappointment when I realized it was just the 7600K and 7700k without onboard graphics and needing a more expensive motherboard.
260 usd for a quad core with no ht seems insane at this point
Tech Showdown It does... Money
Please make more videos like this. I really like the down to earth details that help in consumer decision making.
This music makes it so dramatic. If I watch this as Intel CEO, I'd shit myself
Jaystwocents didn't have anything nice to say either.
I love Intel chips/builds, but it seems that with AMD firing Ryzen/Threadripper, Intel is no longer creating the enthusiast market, but reacting to it, and in a terrible way. I've never wanted to build an AMD system until recently. Intel has been monopolizing the market for too long, and it's showing.
Yes Bob, but Hackintoshing an AMD build is a bear. **wink wink**
This is such a good point. And I also used to be a hardcore Intel-only enthusiast but at this point im very close to buying a 1700x
+NYC Mopeds True lol, Apple needs to make an AMD based Mac (they've got AMD GPUs in some Macs so it seems quite possible).
Same here dude. Same here.
ihniwtpu if apple create amd based pc/laptop i will buy it :D im even not fan of mac but it will be interesting to see mac with amd apu (raven ridge) it will beat every intel apu (i7,i5,i3) because cpu will be strong between r5 1400 and 1500x and igpu will be based on vega and it will be strong between rx 550 and 560
Google fit: congrats you've reached your goal! 1 million steps 😂👌
Great video! As others have commented, the sound was great even for being outside.
My one complaint is the video shake near the end. It was really hard to watch. If you do more videos like this (and I hope you do), maybe you can get some sort of gimbal for the camera?
Even with the shake, it was still a great video. Keep up the good work.
This video has redeemed my faith in LinusTechTips and my subscription. The 0% BS of this video was great it really felt like Linus was connecting with the audience in a much stronger way than just making a fool of himself
GoldenPheonix It just shows they have different 'backers' now.
GoldenPheonix totally agree with you and with Linus, Intel is doing some crazy stuff randomly because of AMD.
they should just do what they had planned instead of doing things that they don't even know if they are going to work.
Same for me, the only thing that I watch on this channel anymore is the WAN show and Scrapyard Wars, the rest just went to crap for my taste. 2014 and below I genuinely enjoyed.
GoldenPheonix it was all acting, cmon... He doesnt give a shit, amd is his partner for now, and he is going to do what he needs to do...
I agree - recent content has been pretty much total garbage - filler content just to meet the release schedule. I honestly think having a schedule is only worthwhile if you can consistently generate that much content.
I think Linus just realized that Intel has a monopoly on the desktop and server chip market and that they're trying to deliver the minimum viable product for the highest price possible. They've done stuff like this for every gen of the extreme edition chips.
Too bad that they completely ignored the laptop market.
Ryzen Mobile is coming in a few months.
Winter Charm Can it work with HP Elitebook 8440p?
Intel has not ignored the laptop market, in fact it dominates it. Its just the fact it dont get as much attention
I'm pretty sure Linus knew this already. the big problem is that for YEARS, Intel was basically the only option for high-end, whether you were an intel fan or AMD fan. Ryzen is AMD's first new processor since forever, and it's almost like Intel has forgotten how to do business.
Best video ever seen from linus!!
I don't know exactly why, maybe the rain, the town the honesty... I feel him like he cares about us.
And it proves that LTT is not an Intel shill or something
Moon Moon maybe it's reverse psychology...
Linus has been saying for years he's not an "Intel shill". Some people are just quick to jump to conclusions.
You apologize and feel bad for making this? It was spot on the real Linus perspective was a really good touch. More like this pleaee.
I actually liked the format of the video. Please do that more often.
TheHinerus THIS.
same here
Has thousands of dollars worth of studios built - Audience prefers outside x)
It's something different and it had that "that's what I really think" feeling... a bit more personal
THIS!
We need more videos like this. It's nice to see Linus's ideas and thoughts.
"The Walk & Talk" needs to be the next new LTT series. Make it a thing! (totally serious)
Kevin Lee James I kinda liked it too. Totally thought he was going to hit that pole at one point though lol.
Only when it rains tho.
Yes, definitely.
Needs more camera tilts
I think you're being too easy on them. This is the culmination of years of "market segmentation", which is great for business folks, goes over average consumers heads and really infuriates enthusiasts (non fanboy type).
I see they want to respond to thread ripper but they've segmented so much their entire business model is not flexible enough to accommodate an appropriate response. They're going to need an entirely new top down re-think which will take at least a year or two, but the pressure is that in the next 8-12 months there is a strong possibility that AMD takes back a huge chunk of the market.
This is the best video you guys have put out all year imho
Absolutely!!!
Brennan Lambert agreed.
+
This is the video that i was expecting from you guys!!
Just telling it like it is.
I totally love this kind of videos, keep it up Linus
_A gloomy day, a cheerless Linus_
_on a rainy street-stroll_
_contemplates corporate slyness,_
_it's clearly taking its toll._
_A kick in the ball, a real blow,_
_turning into shadow from a leading role..._
_While Intel stole, AMD stole the show_
_doing things with heart and soul._
GaborBartal such good poetry
you deserve more likes.
GaborBartal Linus pin this.
GaborBartal nice poem man ;)
Wow thanks, didn't expect many likes :D
do more of those videos of you walking and talking on city. The weather seems so chill there. love it
