Okay, so if you guys think it's crazy that Razer showed up with both a
mock-up of the Razer Toaster and an
actual working
Razer Toaster, if you guys think that's crazy, you are not even ready
for what's going on in here. This box right here is being seen here at LTX 2017
for the first time. That label on the top says "Prototype Inside." To those of you wondering,
no, it is not Project Valerie. It is not AMD Epyc
But it is from AMD
You guys... are you guys ready?
(Crowd cheers)
Inside this box,
Being unveiled for the first time
(Crowd cheers again)
AMD RX Vega!
(Crowd cheers)
Inside this box is not only an AMD RX Vega, but a completely one of a kind, un-boxing experience. That will only be available in
very, very limited quantities because to produce it required designers from the Netherlands,
UK, Canada, and the US
and the cost of building it is extraordinarily high.
So to see one of these in person is going to be a very very unusual
experience. This, this is this is crazy
The sleeve of RX Vega!!!
Hey! That's mine. I want to do it
Okay, okay, the cardboard flap of RX Vega!!!
"Bring pixels to life" Okay, here we go. Whoah!!!!!
Now just hold on a minute here. Oh do I have to leave it there?
Okay, so we're gonna plug it in can I pick it up can I hold it?
So this..
is a prototype device that AMD is calling the Holo Cube
and it's some kind of
holographic display
that actually syncs with Radeon software
to project certain images if there's like a driver update
or like a new game you want to play or if your DVR capture is on.
No, it is AMD red because it is all about Team Red.
WOW... I was looking at it from the wrong side.
Audience Laughs...
You guys we're actually seeing it, so inside the cube
is another cube, it's a graphic. We actually have a video that we can play just in case you can't see it
We're going to we're going to leave this out
So you guys can see it in person, but I'm going to go ahead and fire that up.
So from the front there's just this graphic this uh this rotating cube that seems to be hovering
completely in Mid-air
Unbelievable. Has everyone kind of seen it? Can you see it moving around in there? How about you guys on the front there?
Pretty cool, eh? But of course that's not the main announcement today.
The main announcement is the unboxing of the card itself so first up. We've got ahh...
Displayport a DVI adapter!!!
Displayport to HDMI adapter!!!
We actually really could of used one of these last night and,
a manual!!!
And finally being seen for the first time here today the final shroud design of Rx Vega.
There it is! So, this is the limited edition of
Rx Vega. It's got a brushed aluminum finish. This is a completely new
Architecture for AMD
Everything about it was built from the ground up. It's got a new geometry and pixel engine
it's got hardware accelerated A-Sync compute if you guys are to DirectX12 and you're into Vulcan and
it features 8 Gigs of
HBM2 memory.
So for a consumer card right now to get HBM2 memory you got to buy a
$9,000 graphics card
And I can't tell you what the price of this is going to be but I can tell you it's going to be a lot
less than that, also
it will have better support for Free Sync than ever before and that's supposed to be kind of a, kind of a hint because
AMD will be officially announcing many many more details about Rx Vega
tomorrow at 7:30 Pacific
7:30 p.m. Pacific so stay tuned for that.
I promised
that this would be unbelievable and that you guys would be absolutely blown away and
We're going to start getting the phase 2 going here, because that wasn't it.
It's getting real now because
Vega would have been a big deal and Vega is a big deal
But inside this box is a Displayport cable!!!
And a big fat power cable
and an Alienware Area 51
gaming desktop running a 16 core 32 thread, Thread Ripper
And what we're going to do here today is we're going to show you
Doom
running on RX Vega and Thread Ripper for the first time
AND, AND! A few lucky audience members will game on it
Now we got to hook it up. So everyone keep that level of excitement going for like two minutes,
Okay, two minutes. There's still more y'all lets get it going! AMD YES!
You guys are about to witness some live and in person Linus Tech Tips troubleshooting
So I'm just going to perform a quick memory swap here
Okay, okay. I'm going to try the other RAM still beeping. Oh, man. I'm freaking out here you guys
It's okay. I'm fine right now everything is fine
putting other memory back in
You guys are going to cut all that out, right?
Okay, okay. We got this the next thing I get to unveil today.
Oh... ah
light headed is
Everybody's favorite benchmark when they first fire up their computer with a new processor
task manager
16 cores 32 threads
I got special permission from Alienware to be the first person to run Cinebench in public on
Thread Ripper
Okay, I'm actually going to need an assistant to come in and click it for me because I want to hold this up
so everyone can see it
Uh
Actually, maybe someone who's already on the stage
Okay, yeah, can you click run? Click run
16 cores
CPU? Yes. 16 core 32 threads
That's how fast it goes
Look at it fly it might already be done!
Its done!
2866
Okay
This is exhausting
I Think I'm allowed to tell you base clock. Well. It's running it like 2.6 right now, but it's it
It's shifting a lot there will be more details on Thread Ripper. I need steam to launch. I really need it right now
We're just going to reboot it. We're going to show us the speedy reboot times of the Area 51
You better not update
So I'm going to use this opportunity
Thank you. I'm dying. I'm gonna use this opportunity
To announce one more thing
