AMD vs Intel
>using a Xeon for games
Unliked and unsubscribed.

U fuckin wot m8?
I like the Apple chips best tbqh
>>51838949
he did video on how to make cheap 150bux gaming PC, he is probably comparing to something modern in same price range.
>>51838982
Its twice the price, but he positioned it as the most entry level amd build that would make sense now
Spoiler: amd did 5x faster in disk bench
amd did 2x faster in cpu intensive games and mundane tasks
Did not make difference in gpu driven games.

Good goy!

>doesn't even say what xeons they are
i know he gets paid more by AMD but shit nigga
an 8c16t zeon would smoke an fx-8350
>>51839112
Q6600.
But even up against newer Intel chips in multi core tests the and chips still perform above their prove point.
>>51839148
wrong
>>51838889
Cities is one of very few games that actually do parallel compute.
>>51839075
Why do the jews always have the hot wives?
>new AMD CPU performs better than two 9 year old intel ones
What a surprise!
>>51839461
because bitches like shekels
>>51839504
How is 3 year old CPU new?
>>51838889
>Xeon
lel amdtards are this desperate
>>51839579
it's the last one they produced you imbecile so even if it's 10 years old it's new for them aka latest
>>51839579
Depends on your definition of new.
0-3 = new
4-5 = relatively new
6-9 = old
10+ = ancient
>>51838918
Urrrm , tell me more ..,
>>51839709

>relatively new
Ok gramps
It bothers me that they are actually pretending like doing this is a seriously viable option instead of a fun experiment. Someone might actually waste their time and money with this shit.
They should do a used platform buyers guide video instead. Used i5-2500 or phenom II x6 platform almost the same price on ebay. Phenom II x4 + mobo can be gotten for like $80-$90.
>>51838889
The Xeon uses DDR2.
LTT has gone way past a joke at this point.
>>51839698
They have newer CPU's. Just not high performance ones.
>>51839873
>It bothers me that they are actually pretending like doing this is a seriously viable option instead of a fun experiment.
This, so much. Dual 1366 is fairly good, even for gaming (I've done it), although it does have some quite large drawbacks. However they went too far back in time with too small a budget and made a complete clusterfuck of the build.
At that price they're probably better off with an X58 board and a decently overclocked i5/7, it's not like they're benefiting from having dual Xeons any way. Even if it ends up costing more, there's a certain point below which it's just not worth bothering and you should just save up some more money (or get a console).
>>51839709
Antique CPU reporting in.
I cringed at the "cut tab off 980 Ti" part. Easy loss of 50% of value.
>>51841208
It's probably a card that they got for free and will likely keep until it's worth hardly anything (I wouldn't be surprised if they're not even allowed to sell it until a certain amount of time has elapsed).
The funny thing it's probably actually better for them not to have the locking tab, as they'll mostly be using it in their benchmarking rig (which is horizontal) and swapping it out with other cards regularly.
>>51841204
i used athlon 64 3500+ in desktop untill 2013
>>51838914
>>51838949
Did you guys live under a rock and never hear about the price/performance ratio of the latest 1231?
>>51838889
am I the only one that thinks these guys at linustechtips are complete retards? they're so called "experts" yet none of them can even build a functioning PC without ducttaping a hundred things together and switching out ten parts before they get the system to run, and even then it just crashes on every test they do on it. thats what happens in literally every video I see of them doing anything remotely technical.
>>51839036
this
>>51839112
this video is a "continuation" to the xeon build, and they did list the specs in this video
>>51838889
Two ancient 771 Xeons.
watch this first https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epIlB49SNTI
then watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIJnmwrTHAU
it will make sense then
>>51839738
/out/ with you, child
Only Linus would use a Xeon for gaming..
I know in the past he talked about/pushed the idea of using old, like sandy bridge era old, xeons for gaming/pc builds.
fucking why ? Xeons are not some magical CPU for the server market that are 1000% faster than consumer grade things.
>dual cpu setup
Linus is no source of information, he just spews and does random shit for views
>Xeon L5420
>instead of X5650/60/etc
>>51842849
You don't understand used cpu market.
Xeons go for cheap in used cpu market because servers dump them on ebay/amazon for cheap. There's tons of xeons on sale and they each compete with each other with minimal profit margin. Since most mainstream people don't know about Xeon, their value drops too (low demand, high supply).
>>51842173
Kek, that wallpaper at 6:45 of the second vid.
>>51842866
He's using a shitty old 771 board, that means he's limited to crappy quad cores that don't even have hyperthreading.
>>51838889
>dual xeon
wow how descriptive 10/10
>>51842866
it's from his cheap build video. He got a 20$ CPU and a mobo.
Too bad he isn't smart enough to use a 771mod to make Xenon work with normal boards.
>>51841208
But 0% loss of functionality.
At least he didn't cut it to fit an AGP slot.
>>51842849
You should try watching the fucking preceding video where they built the Dual Xeon machine using >>51842909 for $150 minus the cost of the 980Ti.
>>51838889
>let's see how our junkyard cpu holds up against a desktop amd cpu
Did you even watch the video
