***** Yeah, I see what you are saying but he didn't really put the CPU in any risk at all. In the extremely unlikely event that all safety features fail, that means that the CPU was defective anyways.
On one hand CPUs are getting faster and faster but on the other hand the software are getting slower and sloppier. I bet if the software can be optimized down to a Boolean level (like converting VHDL or Verilog code into the actual circuits in FPGA or ASIC chips) then an old school 50 MHz clock will be more than fast enough for most of the computer intensive tasks we have today and we run our computer on I don't know a regular 9 volt DC power supply or something.
yes sadly, programmers are lazy for the most part with the fast processors and massive memory now currently available. Many programmers would not be able to program in assembly if they had to, and only use high level language compilers that are often very inefficient at making code.
Kaiaiteddy Yes they do... they are a media production company, and given this system will have a 2x10Gbps Ethernet pipeline to their >5 GigaBytes per second read capable SSD based server I feel its well suited to their application. Would a cheaper chip have done the same job? Possibly, but it would have taken more time, and with 6 editors and a couple of others around that still expect to be paid, that time quickly adds up to over the extra thousand bucks of additional purchase cost over the setups~5 year practical lifespan. Especially when you consider that the other system parts (case, mobo, networking cards ect) don't really get any more expensive between a practical and overkill CPU setup. Finally I don't actully know if they paid for the chips or where sent them, so that may be a factor.

It should be much worse. Most games don't optimise more than 2-4 cores and this chip has a lower per-core clock speed. On the other hand, of the game scales well with number of cores, you be flyin son
Rule907 Most games aren't very multithreaded and if you look closely on the cinebench single core test he did the 4790k won by close to 20% so unless you are playing a very CPU intensive game, that uses a ton of cores, the Xeon would probably preform worse. Still on most games the difference would be unnoticeable I'd imagine.
***** you need to remember that its also at heaps lower clockspeed than the consumer 4790k.. A cpu the remains as the highest factory single threaded performance of all common CPU's. So yes, you have a heap more cores, but does that actually make up for being at less than 2/3rds the frequency? I think thats worth a short video honestly...
When AMD releases exciting new products we're on them. We even borrowed an R9 295X2 when that launched and they didn't send us one. The issue is that AMD hasn't really released a new enthusiast grade CPU in years. How am I supposed to get excited about making a video about a 3-4 year old product? When AMD releases Zen and it kicks ass (let's hope) we will cover it.
MegaBoomeranger Because AMD hasn't released anything good, CPU wise, in years. That's also why Intel doesn't feel the need to make better chips than just 5 to 10% better than the previous gen.
MegaBoomeranger LOL.... I think he is not biased. He actually does reviews on the best product, which is Intel atm. I can see you are not bias, but pissed probably because you are running AMD... RIGHT!
Kazu depending on software your GPU might actually more important. Also, if you are reading large video files (for example RAW video) from a slow SSD that can also be THE bottleneck so it's tough to build a system where you can really use the performance of such an insanely powerful CPU
The SSD can be a bottleneck, if you CPU is capable of writing more data than you SSD can. It would slow down the CPU because the SSD could not handle more. That's what he meant.
I'm still using this chip in late 2019! There's a bug in these v3 chips where as you can run the turbo full time all the time on every core with a multiplier of x36! You simply need to remove the CPU microcode from the motherboard BIOS. With a bus of 103mhz, I'm running 3.7Ghz on all 18 cores. Obviously under 100% load though, it will drop speed. With all 36 threads at 100% and using Prime95 the multi is 24-25. Running at 1/2 of threads (18), the multi is 28-29. Running normally usage (AKA not some synthetic heat producer test), the cores all stay at 36 multi. It's very fast for an older processor that can be found pretty reasonable now.
Which motherboard are you using I'm very interested in this cpu's i want to buy a xeon e5 2660 v3 but i don't know which motherboard would be good for doing overclock and turbo unlock :D
You can even undervolt this cpu to squeeze more juice out of it. I can get 5700pt in Cinebench R20 with a -0.090v undervolt on the core and -0.050v on the cache. Running a non-AVX load like Cinebench R15, it hits 3.05GHZ when all 18 cores are stressed. After the turbo hack, what's limiting these are really their TDPs.
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering if the turbo unlock would play nicely with the 103mhz boost going to put an e5-2690 with the x99 f8 chinese board
+tony052803 Probably in 2-3 years to be honest. Sony just came out with a phone that has 4 cores. We are moving amazingly when it comes to technology. Btw, you should check out distributed computing projects and find some that you like. I personally participate on World Community Grid!! Let me know if you need help wit this.
+Mike Hines Also, you should really start contributing to distributed computing projects! Check them out and see how you can make technology improve even faster!
+Ernie Sanz Passbook from RIM had 4 cores a couple of years ago. 18 core CPUs will probably be around in 10 to 15 years for PCs. We are already at 8 core from AMD.
xXDahChubChubXx Lol it still is half as fast as the AMD FX-9590 and has less singlecore performance. T_T Besides the fact that you are comparing a consumer chip to a server chip, which actually use about the same amount of power, you also don't seem to know what TDP means. With the TDP the manufacturers specify the maximum heat output in Watts at which the CPUs can safely operate for a long period of time. The FX 9590 has such a high TDP, because they are specially selected chips with extremely high stability thus beeing able to operate safely at way higher loads than 'bad silicon' FX 8350s for example.
Razor Blade Wasen't comparing speeds and yeah in gaming and in single core the AMD would probably win but i don't care, i was comparing how much more grunt it has and how much more stuff is in it compared to the AMD chip and comparing the TDP
xXDahChubChubXx With the speed I just wanted to say that they are sacrificing on something to achieve this. Overall both chips have around the same processing power, but it is used in different ways. It's like you got a 600HP engine and you can either use it with a low gear ratio to move more load with less speed or use a high gear ratio to move less load with more speed.
MrBait09 Actually I think could be possible but I've never saw anyone do it. Dual CPU systems actually do share all the PCI lanes. I took the risk of saying something stupid I know XD
Absolutely not, the G3258 is a great CPU, id recommend overclocking it though, thats what I did. Plus I cooled it with Corsair Hydro H80i. Id have to recommend aftermarket cooling though if overclocking,
***** Depends on how you intend to use it. If you want to run the latest games you may run into trouble as some games actually check for more than 2 cores. Also the latest AAA games aren't going to let you run at high res with all the graphic options enabled with that processor even married to a Titan, but the G3258 will work fine at lower resolutions if you overclock it. I've been using one for the past year and played Borderlands 2 and Borderlands the Pre-Sequel with no issues. I do plan to upgrade later this year once desktop Broadwell and Skylake processors are out and the pricing settles, but that's as much future proofing as something useful today.
I come from the future, and wanted to run some good ol' games. Can I run Minesweeper on a 48 core Intel Sigma M9 5.35 GHz, with a NVIDIA GeForce Alkaline 305A-Q 3.63 GHz 128 GB VRAM and 1 TB of DDR6 RAM?
Bought a Intel Sigma AL8 with 11.6 GHz with 64 cores, and the GPU is now replaced with a AMD Radeon HHD 95400-WUAQ 148 GB and 9.53 GHz. I believe that's enough for a weak PC in the year 2028.
+VortexumGamer Well you should just wait until the year 2029 when the intel i69 comes out. It has about 5 billion cores. and when minesweeper 2 comes out. But hopefully hl3 will be released.
And here i am with a mighty Core 2 Duo E6750 and a AMD Radeon HD 4670 1GB, plus 4 GB of DDR2 RAM. I dont have money for a new PC.I should go cry in a corner :(
Intel in 2014: 18 cores for 5000$ is top value and wont be beat AMD in 2021: *Laughs in 64 cores 128 threads Threadrippers* Edit: Oh now I know why they are called threadrippers
@@RappinAcoustic yes an then apply the turbo unlock mod running both cpus at max turbo 3.7ghz all cores. Thats 36 cores an 72 threads for way less than a ripper cpu. Hence why i have two 2699V3 xeons.
S666G666 xeon chips are locked so you cannot do a traditional multiplier overclock and I believe the ECC RAM would have issues as it is not very overclock friendly. xmp and manual base overclock deal with the bus and affect everything, ECC would possibly throw errors and/or result in the system not booting
Jacob R With newer chips you can separately overclock the CPU strap, without changing the base clock (I think with Xeon chips as well). So changing the CPU strap will not overclock the ECC RAM.
EposVox ssd is still slow, so a ramdisk would be better in the case of "Bottlenecks" but not in a real world scenario of course is just to see the speed.
I still sometimes boot up my upgraded PC XT with a stacked RAM configuration to get it up to 512K of RAM, running 4.7 Mhz clock speed. Not a speed demon, but it still does what it was made for well.
vidm96 A lot they do get free, but often with strings attached. Sometimes they have to send it back. Also Linus and other reviews ask for equipment or a company will send them equipment to "review".
vidm96 I'm guessing this was a "hey show how amazing are product is and we will send you a couple of these for free". Either that or maybe he just has a good working relationship with them and he just asked and they went "ok".
I'm going to build a rendering system with the following specs: Intel Xeon Phi 7290F 128GB DDR4 Memory Some 1.6 Kilowatt Poer Supply And Thats all I decided.
***** It's low power for stability and longevity. By far and large the killer of CPUs is heat and increasing voltage stresses the silicon on a molecular level which thus increases heat as you overclock. So having highly efficient CPUs work less and spread it across many cores, you allow for example a 10 core 2.1Ghz processor to work just as well as a 4 Core 4Ghz processor and still be better at software optimised for many threads. Especially take into consideration that your gaming PC isn't truly at 80-100% load as frequently as a workstation or server which can have hundreds or thousands of users on it on a 12 or even 24 hour basis. EDIT: Consider a networking server in an office of 30 people. You could have 30 computers at $800 each, or 2 computers at $5,000 each that everyone connects to via cloud computing.
Hard to believe these were $4500 back in the day when they were released. I just purchased 2 of these CPUs for a home server just to play around on for the whopping cost of $85 EACH! Nothing like a 98% reduction in cost!
Soooo jayztwocentz put 3 way titan x sli's in his pc build. Lol, the 5960x bottlenecks them hahh. So i wonder if this would do so still. I doubt it tho
janinja s lol noooooooooooo not at alll.... most games arent even optimized to use 4 cores. why do you think quad core gaming cpus are prominent right now... the i5-4690k, i7-4770k etc... they are all quad cores. if most Triple A titles used fucking 8 cores, nobody would be playing bf4 or and triple A titles right now because nobody would want to pay 1000 dollars on an 5960x... and the amd fx-8320/8350 are becoming out dated
I recently bought a couple 1U servers with 2x14core E5-26xx and 128GB and 256GB RAM for less than $1K each. I needed some serious compute power for circuit modeling via optimization. There are some seriously good deals out there on older technology. Far better bang/buck for old servers.
What do you mean exactly I have couple systems myself I’m trying to put to the test one has dual e5 14 core, the other 18 core and I have titan xp but haven’t figured out what to test with yet and couple more systems as well
@@jong-yk3gk That depends on what you want to use your systems for. Passmark software's performance tests and MemTest86 have some benchmarks which might be interesting to you perhaps. I think that these older systems are mostly good for compute-intensive tasks which have a lot of arithmetic operations per memory access and are used for short bursts of hard computing such as engineering software or math-heavy operations and computations - e.g. optimization and/or simulation or perhaps some games? For 24-7 day after day heavy computation, you're likely better off with newer systems due to their greater power efficiency - and that depends on your electricity rates. I would say that if you just want a big file server that's not heavily loaded with accesses, then get yourself an newer, single socket machine with ECC RAM, at least 32GB RAM (64GB likely better) and loads of slots for 3.5" drives. Ideally, you want hot-swap tool-less slots that let you slide the drives in and out. If you get an older machine for this, I recommend going with a single CPU socket to save energy. Best
Kristian Grønås they can clock a 5960x at 4.5 on a h110i gtx. The cooler is not overwhelmed. It transfer issue. So those 18 core could run on those cooler at like 4ghz + Realise that a 120mm watercooler can cool a 600w gpu
***** Overclocking using a multiplier only effects the cpu. Overclocking the base clock (100-105) effects everything you use, such as your pci-e slots, usb ports, LAN, ram, SSD/HDD and so on. You're messing with a lot of things for not much gain.
My 0x1E this doesnt make sense to me. does OCing the base clock directly affect GPU, ethernet, USB, and SSD speeds? this definitely doesn't seem like the case for me.
BattousaiHBr It effects the link speed, not the actual clock speed of your GPU. You're overclocking the bus speed. USBs are designed to work with a base clock of 100Mhz. Going higher can cause data corruption for the USB and SSD/HDD because you're taking them out of their operational frequency. You're not overclocking your USB to stay in-line with the extra speed of the BCLK. For instance, my sound card (Asus essence 7.1) will not allow the computer to boot if the BCLK is above 101 BCLK. Overclocking using the BCLK is just a bad idea no matter how you look at it.
I was in pain while you were pronnouncing "cache" so many times whith the contacts side of the processor near to your mouth and in its direction T_T You could have accidentally spit on it omg be careful xD
+Dustin Christensen it's not about turned off CPUs being sensitive to liquid per se, but about that when the "liquid" is cleaned/evaporated/sublimated, there will probably be solid waste that is extremely difficult to detect (thus to remove), and it remains in the contacts being potentialy dangerous for the CPU in multiple ways. CPUs are extremely delicate, they might get relatively very dirty, clean them carefully and perfectly work like nothing happened. They can take some microscopic liquid drops/dust particles and cause a fatal short circuit in the next power on.
+Dustin Christensen we're not talking about a Celeron dude... I'm not even saying you're wrong but let's leave it in "I wouldn't take the risk with an $4000 CPU". Linus would? seems so, but I only said that I was suffering while watching it, not that he has to suffer too.
+Benito Llan Matos Liquid can't sublimate. Sublimation is when a solid turns to a gaseous state, skipping liquid all together. So, by definition, liquid can't sublimate.
The Pancakeanator But in certain applications, one board is going to be more preferable over the other (e.g. video editing, audio production, gaming, etc.) and it would be nice to see a comparison done so that people can know which board they're probably going to want to buy so they don't spend more than they really need.
Mr Fuzz Man It would literally be a video looking at spec sheets, ie motherboard a is better for audio production because it has x feature and for the most part, other than reliability and overclocking/bios the motherboard does not matter. Need video editing? strong cpu, audio production? high end sound card, gaming? high end dedicated gpu

^^ these guys don't get the joke
I wonder how intel feels about you guys doing this lol. But THROW THAT SHIT INTO SOME GAMES!
***** It won't be much worse either.
It should be much worse. Most games don't optimise more than 2-4 cores and this chip has a lower per-core clock speed.
On the other hand, of the game scales well with number of cores, you be flyin son
Rule907 Most games aren't very multithreaded and if you look closely on the cinebench single core test he did the 4790k won by close to 20% so unless you are playing a very CPU intensive game, that uses a ton of cores, the Xeon would probably preform worse. Still on most games the difference would be unnoticeable I'd imagine.
***** It may be a better, it may be worse... the best way to know is to try.
***** you need to remember that its also at heaps lower clockspeed than the consumer 4790k.. A cpu the remains as the highest factory single threaded performance of all common CPU's. So yes, you have a heap more cores, but does that actually make up for being at less than 2/3rds the frequency? I think thats worth a short video honestly...

*All I ever see are Intel products being promoted, why no AMD? Are you biased Linus?*
*0.0*
When AMD releases exciting new products we're on them. We even borrowed an R9 295X2 when that launched and they didn't send us one. The issue is that AMD hasn't really released a new enthusiast grade CPU in years. How am I supposed to get excited about making a video about a 3-4 year old product? When AMD releases Zen and it kicks ass (let's hope) we will cover it.
MegaBoomeranger Because AMD hasn't released anything good, CPU wise, in years. That's also why Intel doesn't feel the need to make better chips than just 5 to 10% better than the previous gen.
Rekt.....sorry, I had to.
MegaBoomeranger [ ] Not rekt. [X] REKT.
MegaBoomeranger LOL.... I think he is not biased. He actually does reviews on the best product, which is Intel atm. I can see you are not bias, but pissed probably because you are running AMD... RIGHT!
I would like to know how fast it would encode a video file ^^
Kazu Thinking the same. A test for its purpose would be nice.
Kazu depending on software your GPU might actually more important. Also, if you are reading large video files (for example RAW video) from a slow SSD that can also be THE bottleneck so it's tough to build a system where you can really use the performance of such an insanely powerful CPU
The SSD can be a bottleneck, if you CPU is capable of writing more data than you SSD can. It would slow down the CPU because the SSD could not handle more. That's what he meant.
*****
On the machine I work with at work, the SSD *is* the bottleneck. I'm not making stuff up ;)

I'm literally watching this on an e8400...
ben esherick..?
I'm still using this chip in late 2019! There's a bug in these v3 chips where as you can run the turbo full time all the time on every core with a multiplier of x36! You simply need to remove the CPU microcode from the motherboard BIOS. With a bus of 103mhz, I'm running 3.7Ghz on all 18 cores. Obviously under 100% load though, it will drop speed. With all 36 threads at 100% and using Prime95 the multi is 24-25. Running at 1/2 of threads (18), the multi is 28-29. Running normally usage (AKA not some synthetic heat producer test), the cores all stay at 36 multi. It's very fast for an older processor that can be found pretty reasonable now.
Which motherboard are you using
I'm very interested in this cpu's i want to buy a xeon e5 2660 v3 but i don't know which motherboard would be good for doing overclock and turbo unlock :D
@@rampi7082 Using an ASRock X99 Extreme 6, Xeon 2699v3, 128GB ECC RAM
Thinking about finding a cheap one for my sabertooth x99 lol
You can even undervolt this cpu to squeeze more juice out of it. I can get 5700pt in Cinebench R20 with a -0.090v undervolt on the core and -0.050v on the cache. Running a non-AVX load like Cinebench R15, it hits 3.05GHZ when all 18 cores are stressed. After the turbo hack, what's limiting these are really their TDPs.
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering if the turbo unlock would play nicely with the 103mhz boost going to put an e5-2690 with the x99 f8 chinese board

We are already at 8 core from AMD.
Lol it still uses less power than the AMD FX-9590
xXDahChubChubXx Lol it still is half as fast as the AMD FX-9590 and has less singlecore performance. T_T Besides the fact that you are comparing a consumer chip to a server chip, which actually use about the same amount of power, you also don't seem to know what TDP means. With the TDP the manufacturers specify the maximum heat output in Watts at which the CPUs can safely operate for a long period of time. The FX 9590 has such a high TDP, because they are specially selected chips with extremely high stability thus beeing able to operate safely at way higher loads than 'bad silicon' FX 8350s for example.
Razor Blade k
Razor Blade Wasen't comparing speeds and yeah in gaming and in single core the AMD would probably win but i don't care, i was comparing how much more grunt it has and how much more stuff is in it compared to the AMD chip and comparing the TDP
xXDahChubChubXx With the speed I just wanted to say that they are sacrificing on something to achieve this. Overall both chips have around the same processing power, but it is used in different ways. It's like you got a 600HP engine and you can either use it with a low gear ratio to move more load with less speed or use a high gear ratio to move less load with more speed.

Anthony Jones X4 860k, the bottleneck factory.
Absolutely not, the G3258 is a great CPU, id recommend overclocking it though, thats what I did. Plus I cooled it with Corsair Hydro H80i. Id have to recommend aftermarket cooling though if overclocking,
***** Depends on how you intend to use it. If you want to run the latest games you may run into trouble as some games actually check for more than 2 cores. Also the latest AAA games aren't going to let you run at high res with all the graphic options enabled with that processor even married to a Titan, but the G3258 will work fine at lower resolutions if you overclock it.
I've been using one for the past year and played Borderlands 2 and Borderlands the Pre-Sequel with no issues. I do plan to upgrade later this year once desktop Broadwell and Skylake processors are out and the pricing settles, but that's as much future proofing as something useful today.
I come from the future, and wanted to run some good ol' games. Can I run Minesweeper on a 48 core Intel Sigma M9 5.35 GHz, with a NVIDIA GeForce Alkaline 305A-Q 3.63 GHz 128 GB VRAM and 1 TB of DDR6 RAM?

Why did you try the overclock with the gaming RAM and not the Kingston RAM?
Discovery
S666G666 The Kingston ECC RAM does not support XMP, and all new consumer grade RAM and motherboards use XMP to overclock.
Kevin Stampe Overclocking using XMP is redundant. You could simply manually overclock.
S666G666 xeon chips are locked so you cannot do a traditional multiplier overclock and I believe the ECC RAM would have issues as it is not very overclock friendly. xmp and manual base overclock deal with the bus and affect everything, ECC would possibly throw errors and/or result in the system not booting
Jacob R With newer chips you can separately overclock the CPU strap, without changing the base clock (I think with Xeon chips as well). So changing the CPU strap will not overclock the ECC RAM.

***** It's low power for stability and longevity. By far and large the killer of CPUs is heat and increasing voltage stresses the silicon on a molecular level which thus increases heat as you overclock. So having highly efficient CPUs work less and spread it across many cores, you allow for example a 10 core 2.1Ghz processor to work just as well as a 4 Core 4Ghz processor and still be better at software optimised for many threads.
Especially take into consideration that your gaming PC isn't truly at 80-100% load as frequently as a workstation or server which can have hundreds or thousands of users on it on a 12 or even 24 hour basis.
EDIT: Consider a networking server in an office of 30 people. You could have 30 computers at $800 each, or 2 computers at $5,000 each that everyone connects to via cloud computing.

What do you mean exactly I have couple systems myself I’m trying to put to the test one has dual e5 14 core, the other 18 core and I have titan xp but haven’t figured out what to test with yet and couple more systems as well
@@jong-yk3gk That depends on what you want to use your systems for. Passmark software's performance tests and MemTest86 have some benchmarks which might be interesting to you perhaps. I think that these older systems are mostly good for compute-intensive tasks which have a lot of arithmetic operations per memory access and are used for short bursts of hard computing such as engineering software or math-heavy operations and computations - e.g. optimization and/or simulation or perhaps some games? For 24-7 day after day heavy computation, you're likely better off with newer systems due to their greater power efficiency - and that depends on your electricity rates.
I would say that if you just want a big file server that's not heavily loaded with accesses, then get yourself an newer, single socket machine with ECC RAM, at least 32GB RAM (64GB likely better) and loads of slots for 3.5" drives. Ideally, you want hot-swap tool-less slots that let you slide the drives in and out. If you get an older machine for this, I recommend going with a single CPU socket to save energy.

Is it safe to OC chips like this?
NEVER...EVER... TRY TO OVERCLOCK A XEON. Your asking for trouble
Anthony Jones i have a light overclock on my xeon systems. no problem.
***** Overclocking using a multiplier only effects the cpu.
Overclocking the base clock (100-105) effects everything you use, such as your pci-e slots, usb ports, LAN, ram, SSD/HDD and so on. You're messing with a lot of things for not much gain.
My 0x1E this doesnt make sense to me.
does OCing the base clock directly affect GPU, ethernet, USB, and SSD speeds? this definitely doesn't seem like the case for me.
BattousaiHBr It effects the link speed, not the actual clock speed of your GPU.
You're overclocking the bus speed. USBs are designed to work with a base clock of 100Mhz. Going higher can cause data corruption for the USB and SSD/HDD because you're taking them out of their operational frequency. You're not overclocking your USB to stay in-line with the extra speed of the BCLK.
For instance, my sound card (Asus essence 7.1) will not allow the computer to boot if the BCLK is above 101 BCLK.
Overclocking using the BCLK is just a bad idea no matter how you look at it.
I was in pain while you were pronnouncing "cache" so many times whith the contacts side of the processor near to your mouth and in its direction T_T
You could have accidentally spit on it omg be careful xD
+Dustin Christensen it's not about turned off CPUs being sensitive to liquid per se, but about that when the "liquid" is cleaned/evaporated/sublimated, there will probably be solid waste that is extremely difficult to detect (thus to remove), and it remains in the contacts being potentialy dangerous for the CPU in multiple ways.
CPUs are extremely delicate, they might get relatively very dirty, clean them carefully and perfectly work like nothing happened. They can take some microscopic liquid drops/dust particles and cause a fatal short circuit in the next power on.
+Dustin Christensen we're not talking about a Celeron dude... I'm not even saying you're wrong but let's leave it in "I wouldn't take the risk with an $4000 CPU". Linus would? seems so, but I only said that I was suffering while watching it, not that he has to suffer too.
+Benito Llan Matos
Liquid can't sublimate. Sublimation is when a solid turns to a gaseous state, skipping liquid all together. So, by definition, liquid can't sublimate.
Now a 16-core CPU is $749.

I know this is slightly unrelated to this video, but I'd love to see a comparison done between Gigabyte, EVGA, MSI, and ASUS X99 boards.
That'd be a good video. Sort of like the Z97 ones they did.
Mr Fuzz Man Motherboards don't effect performance that much, it's more about their specific features. That would be a very VERY boring video.
The Pancakeanator But in certain applications, one board is going to be more preferable over the other (e.g. video editing, audio production, gaming, etc.) and it would be nice to see a comparison done so that people can know which board they're probably going to want to buy so they don't spend more than they really need.
Mr Fuzz Man It would literally be a video looking at spec sheets, ie motherboard a is better for audio production because it has x feature and for the most part, other than reliability and overclocking/bios the motherboard does not matter. Need video editing? strong cpu, audio production? high end sound card, gaming? high end dedicated gpu
