Hey guys thanks so much for joining me today and we're gonna talk computers but
I'd love for each one of you guys to go down the line and introduce yourselves
start with you - I'm Linus better known as Linus Tech or the guy who dropped
stuff I'm Anne Munition. I'm just a live broadcaster of video games
I'm Nabil I make videos on YouTube. I'm mainly do gaming. I'm Matt and online i'm
known as Sevadus. This year it's the 50th anniversary of intel on the 40th
anniversary of the processor 8086 how far do you feel like we've come I mean
obviously you know that processor was you know at the beginning yeah
absolutely I mean it set the stage for everything that has come since then
whether it's multi-core or 64-bit. One of the most mind-blowing things for me
about how far we've come with x86 in the last 40 years is how much
interoperability we've maintained. Point me at some other piece of high
technology and tell me that it can also run software that was designed for
hardware that came ten years fifteen years or even 20 years ago
that's basically not a thing. One of the biggest innovations in computing
technology is definitely the ability to run multiple threads so having a
multi-core processor completely changes how encoding happens it means that you
can encode much higher quality on much more commodity hardware and it allows
people like me to actually be able to afford to broadcast as a living. Encoding
a stream is it's always been difficult however doing it is getting easier and
easier and easier as the processors you know advance yeah I'm building a few
machines for guest streaming using the extreme edition processor it's kind of
like the technology has caught up. My very first BC it had 40 gigs of storage, total storage
which was huge at that time. I had back then 128 megabytes of RAM I had eight
megabytes of vram and now I have six terabytes and I have SSDs with terabytes
and terabytes so just looking back what those numbers were back then and what
they represent today is such a huge leap. I remember being on a Skype call with a
friend and I was live-streaming my PC building thing on Twitch I had like five
viewers one of them was my friends and he was like all right you have to put
this right there and that was like it was it took me six hours to build my PC
but it ended up working first time I press the power button it turned on and
that was like the most satisfying thing ever. I love that I can find information
on things that I don't understand like how to build a computer? Why do I need
like these parts and not these ones? And like how does this all work together and
that kind of thing and there is someone who has gone through that process and
they have taken the time to make a video and explain like why this is the way
that it is so that people like me can watch it and just like learn that
information right away. So, when I build my first PC it was like a whole other world
it really enabled me to get a lot more work done in way less time and going
from that first computer that I built to now I feel so much more comfortable with
computers and I think that's something that's really important for people
especially who are really interested in tech and really interested
in gaming and content creation is to be comfortable and familiar with PCs
because technology moves so fast. The huge revolutionary shift in you know
our lives using computers I think has really been putting more and more cores
onto a single CPU something that would have been unthinkable for a consumer
workload 15-20 years ago but now you guys couldn't do your jobs without it
