NewsTranscript
00:00AMD cards and processors are flooding the market
00:03and the possibilities of getting any hardware at MSRP
00:06these days are dead in the water.
00:08Hey, you know what, speaking of floods,
00:10we were actually gonna benchmark the 9950 X3D,
00:12which just released until this happened.
00:15But our warehouse wasn't the only thing leaking this week.
00:18We're leaking all over the place.
00:19Strap on your floaties,
00:21and I hope you didn't eat within the last 30 minutes
00:22because it's time for MetaPC's News
00:25where we test the limits of CPUs
00:27as well as our bathroom plumbing.
00:28Let's go.
00:29AMD announces pricing for the Ryzen 9 9950 X3D
00:35and 9900 X3D at $699 and $599.
00:38Chips arrive.
00:39When?
00:40Two days ago.
00:41Two days ago.
00:41They arrived in the past.
00:43There's something very important,
00:44and you're gonna notice a recurring theme.
00:45In fact, if you watch these videos,
00:46you've heard this before.
00:47MSRP and availability mean nothing.
00:51We gotta come up with a fun acronym for MSRP.
00:53Yeah.
00:54Live from Phoenix, Arizona,
00:57welcome to America's favorite show.
01:00What the fuck does MSRP mean?
01:03Manufacturers suggested ridiculous price.
01:06Mostly speculative retail pricing.
01:08I like that one.
01:09Market scam, retail pain.
01:10Those are all accurate.
01:11But I think we're gonna go
01:12with mostly speculative retail pricing, MSRP.
01:15Yeah.
01:16That's a new definition we're gonna go with.
01:17Mostly speculative retail pricing.
01:199950 X3D, $699.
01:21The 9950X was at $559.
01:26I think it MSRP'd at $599.
01:28But you can find it for somewhere around there.
01:299900 X3D, $599 that we talked about.
01:32The 9800 X3D, $480.
01:34While we still don't know the base clocks
01:36of the two releases, which we do now,
01:38interesting, interesting MSRP availability
01:41is going to prove probably fairly difficult.
01:44Yeah.
01:45We tried to do a benchmarking of the 9950, 9900,
01:48and the 9800 X3D,
01:51but our building decided to explode.
01:55Yeah, it didn't like it.
01:56It seemed that God himself said,
01:57you shouldn't do this.
01:58He said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
02:00We had a water heater explode, but don't worry.
02:03Let's take a look at game benchmarks.
02:05Now, this is for the 9800 versus the 9950.
02:08And then you can see the difference here
02:09on the chart as well.
02:10This red line marks the difference between the two
02:13and where you really start to see processors take off
02:17in terms of the 9950.
02:18Mirrors of Madness bench.
02:20What the hell?
02:22Does anyone, does he play, does anyone play that?
02:24What are we doing?
02:25Cyberpunk.
02:26There you go.
02:27That's a better bench.
02:28What do we got here?
02:29The 9800 X3D.
02:32What am I even looking at?
02:33Across the board with games,
02:34zero to 6% is roughly what you're seeing as an increase,
02:37which over the seven series is big
02:41because you had to disable the entire CCD
02:43in order to get any game.
02:45Now we've talked about this a little bit internally
02:48because we have customers that wonder,
02:49they're like, hey,
02:50does it make sense to go to the 9950 X3D, 9900 X3D?
02:54It really depends on what you're doing.
02:56So this chart gives you a little bit better understanding
02:59of what workstation benchmarks look like
03:01by upgrading to these new processors.
03:03And you're seeing the percentages
03:04instead of the one to 5% range.
03:07It's going all the way up to like a 90% increase
03:10when compared to some of these other processors.
03:12And the difference is much, much higher.
03:14Impressive results, averaging 36, hitting a max of 93%.
03:18So office productivity, things like workstation tasks,
03:21that's where you're going to see the big boost.
03:25Guys, this is the most lucrative benchmarking
03:26I've seen in quite some time.
03:27Take a look at this, you're going to love this.
03:29Office productivity benchmarks.
03:30You don't see a whole lot of Microsoft Word benchmarks.
03:34I like this.
03:35I like this a lot, actually.
03:36Someone out there needs this.
03:38What, what are, how are we?
03:41I have so many questions.
03:42I have so many, how do you even benchmark this?
03:45I know who's doing it.
03:46You guys remember Clippy?
03:48Anyone remember Clippy?
03:49Clippy is doing a little bit of benchmarking.
03:51That's, that's my, that's what I think's happening here.
03:54AI, it's all about Clippy.
03:56You just, can you just make this go away?
04:02Prepare, this news segment today, this whole news,
04:05this is AMD packed, so strap in.
04:07Here we go.
04:08AMD's prepping updates for 12 plus core Ryzen X3D SKU CPUs
04:13with Zen 5.
04:14AMD is adding some new features and existing
04:16and updating existing technology
04:18to enable even higher performance
04:19on this generation of X3D series.
04:223DV Cache.
04:223DV Cache, so many core variations
04:25and all the nerdy shit.
04:26What you need to know is this.
04:283DV Cache performance optimizer
04:30was updated to work in Windows 10.
04:32That's the big up, I don't know.
04:34What these updates mean for you
04:36is obviously when they're doing these,
04:38you know, VBIOS updates,
04:39you're trying to get max performance
04:41out of some of these games that are listed
04:43and even more, right?
04:44So you get better performance,
04:45sometimes up to 20, 30% in some cases,
04:47just from that BIOS update.
04:50Just takes a lot of testing.
04:52It's the same thing that happened
04:53with the Threadripper series
04:54because you have a lot of extra cores
04:56and you have some games
04:56that don't know what to do with them.
04:58Makes sense.
04:59Leaks, guys.
05:02We're leaking all over the place.
05:03These are rumors, but they're coming from Copite.
05:05Copite is sometimes accurate.
05:09So let's-
05:0960% of the time.
05:11100% of the time.
05:12Appears the rumors are true.
05:13NVIDIA is indeed planning to release the RTX 5050.
05:15After all, this new graphics card
05:17for the entry-level segment
05:19is expected to arrive in a matter of weeks
05:21rather than months
05:22and is set to compete.
05:23Ooh, now this is spicy.
05:25With the Battlemage Arc B580.
05:28Intel, when they launched the B580,
05:30it was very well received.
05:31Now NVIDIA is clapping back and saying,
05:34okay, check out my 5050 and my 5060 Ti game.
05:385060 Ti.
05:39So gonna be using the GB206.
05:43This is a Blackwell architecture, right?
05:46For this card.
05:47Looking at, ooh, maybe eight or 16 gigabyte cards.
05:52So may have a variant similar to the 4060 Ti, right?
05:55Yeah, which I mean, largely the 16 gig model
05:58and that no one really cares.
05:59They're like, why did we even do that?
06:00But with the Blackwell and, you know,
06:02the software improvements-
06:02Software updates, yeah.
06:03It might make more sense.
06:05Really comes down to what's the pricing gonna look like.
06:07I'm interested on this article on video cards
06:09if they've speculated much on pricing.
06:10Rumors are suggesting that the 5060
06:12and the 5050 series will be announced
06:14as early as next week.
06:16So you might actually see some more firm details
06:18on some of this coming up very, very soon.
06:20What do you think the 5060 would come in at?
06:245070 was what?
06:25So 5070, 600 and MSRP.
06:285060 Ti, I don't know.
06:30I don't know.
06:31Hard to say.
06:34What if I told you that we could get a card
06:3810 times the path tracing performance of a 5090?
06:41Where can I get it?
06:42What if I told you it had expandable memory?
06:45I'm ready.
06:46Claiming that it can beat the 5090.
06:48Now, what can it beat the 5090 in?
06:49Let's find out.
06:50Bolt Graphics, graphics card startup
06:52from Sunnyvale, California.
06:53This week introduced its Zeus GPU platform
06:56that is designed for gaming, rendering,
06:57and supercomputer simulations.
07:00The company says that its Zeus GPU
07:01not only supports features like upgradable memory
07:03and built-in ethernet interface.
07:05Ooh, in fact, let's look at-
07:07Now I'm distracted.
07:08Cause there is an ethernet port on this graphics card.
07:11Phil, have you ever seen an ethernet port
07:13on a graphics card?
07:14I haven't physically seen it.
07:15I've only-
07:16Someone in the comments will be like,
07:18I actually, in the year 2060,
07:22something malted RW, a bunch of numbers
07:24and bits and bits and pieces,
07:26but there's an ethernet port on the graphics card.
07:28And upgradable memory.
07:30This is aimed at path tracing rendering techniques
07:33as well as compute workload.
07:34Gaming wise, probably not gonna beat your 5090,
07:38but potentially in somebody's workstation
07:41or processing tasks, it very well could.
07:43First GPU from this company, launching 2026.
07:47There are a lot of people that are maybe casting
07:50some well-deserved doubt on some of these claims.
07:53It's hard when you don't have hardware in hand.
07:55That ethernet port.
07:56Phil, you kind of described what the purpose
07:59for that port potentially would be.
08:01With the right software, you could render
08:03and stream your games directly through the network.
08:06So doing things like, you know, streaming gaming on your TV,
08:09you could have that with no latency.
08:10So very interesting.
08:11I mean, I don't wanna cast like,
08:13throw a bunch of crap at it
08:14because we haven't even seen it yet.
08:16But some of these releases and some of these claims
08:19are pretty bold and if followed through on,
08:21maybe it could cause a little bit of turbulence
08:23for companies like NVIDIA.
08:25What do you guys think?
08:26More AMD?
08:29More AMD, it's all red.
08:31It's the AMD show.
08:32It's a red show today.
08:34AMD Radeon 9060 XT confirmed with 16 gigabytes
08:38and eight gigabytes of GDDR6 memory.
08:42Sticking to 128 bit memory bus.
08:45This is a leak for the 9600 XT from Acer.
08:51This is the Radeon RX 9060 XT.
08:53You've got your 16 and eight gig options, GDDR6.
08:56Very interesting.
08:58And you're gonna need at least a 500 watt power supply.
09:00Can you pull that together?
09:01Some interesting stuff on this card.
09:03It's gonna be the first SKU to launch,
09:06which would be the 9060 XT.
09:08Expected that we're gonna see both of those unveiled
09:10at the same time, the 16 gigabyte
09:12and eight gigabyte variants of the card.
09:13This looks very similar in specs to the 5060 Ti.
09:16I mean, that's what it's supposed to be.
09:17They're coming right for them.
09:22Now we've been talking about MSRP a lot
09:24and a lot of people are talking about it
09:25because a lot of people will promise
09:26that mostly speculative retail price
09:30and they got their stuff canceled.
09:32Retailers are now canceling cheaper RX 9070 pre-orders.
09:36AMD had a successful launch with the Radeon RX 9070 series,
09:40but only if we're talking about gamers
09:41who happen to live close to a micro center.
09:43Their strategy was they wanted to sell
09:45a bunch of them upfront at MSRP launch only price.
09:49And that seemed to not be a thing
09:51for a lot of people looking to get those cards.
09:54The company will be encouraging retailers
09:55to sell the 9070 XT at MSRP.
09:58However, it's not stated how and what way,
10:00how they have an effect.
10:01As it looks now, there's no MSRP stock
10:05in most parts.
10:06We're in some dystopian movie
10:08because the phrase MSRP stock just,
10:12that just doesn't make sense.
10:14I think what they were trying to do
10:15from an enthusiast standpoint is say,
10:17look, we're trying to like make sure
10:18that we can control the price on these
10:20and get it to people what we promised.
10:22The idea was good, but unless you can do all of them
10:25at MSRP, it's kind of hard to pitch that to the consumer
10:30and be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we had some,
10:32but yours is different.
10:35You know who doesn't do that?
10:37Who doesn't do that?
10:39MetaPCs.
10:39I feel an ad coming.
10:40Guys, MetaPCs, obviously the sponsor of this video
10:43because you're watching our channel.
10:44Hopefully, you'll go to amazon.com
10:46and buy one of these raining things that's about to rain.
10:50Ah!
10:51Oh.
10:52These mouse mats are available at Amazon.
10:54All you gotta do is type in MetaPCs hyper beasts
10:57and buy one on Amazon or our website.
10:59And these pair great with a brand new PC.
11:01We've got ready to ship builds
11:03and custom builds online at MetaPCs.com.
11:07So if you're looking for a new PC or know someone who is,
11:09don't let them go to a big box store
11:11and buy a soulless piece of crap.
11:13Have them buy a MetaPC instead.
11:15Oh boy.
11:18Is this a Titan card?
11:20Guys, a Titan.
11:22NVIDIA is set to launch the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU.
11:27Oh my gosh.
11:28This is definitely the closest we're going to get
11:30to a Titan card.
11:31So let's strap in and find out.
11:33According to the Lead Tech website,
11:34the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell is going to feature
11:3624,064 CUDA cores.
11:39Not only is the name confirmed as RTX Pro,
11:41but NVIDIA finally found a way to differentiate
11:43its workstation and professional cards.
11:4596 gigs, holy crap, of GTDR7 memory.
11:49That is obscene.
11:50That's a fat stack of memory.
11:51That's a fat stack.
11:53Now this is not the same memory as on the gaming cards.
11:56Okay?
11:56Not only does it have an increased capacity of 24 gigs,
12:00but it also supports ECC.
12:02Interestingly, the Lead Tech website seems to confirm
12:05that this card is indeed a 600 watt model.
12:08Jesus.
12:09Which would be one of the first cases
12:10where a workstation model has a higher TDP,
12:13TGP than the gaming version.
12:15Now look, let's take a look at it on paper.
12:17The RTX Pro 6000 has 32% more CUDA cores
12:20than its predecessor, which is the RTX 6000 ADA.
12:23It's going to have twice the memory capacity
12:24and seemingly twice the freaking power requirement.
12:28That 600 watts is just obscene.
12:31It would be nearly impossible to have a 600 watt card
12:33in a blower style design,
12:35which is why NVIDIA is introducing
12:36its open air cooler design,
12:37more specifically a version of its double flow
12:40through cooler.
12:41And it looks a lot like a founder's card.
12:43It looks exactly like one.
12:44You'll never get one.
12:46You'll never have one.
12:47But, boy, isn't it fun to dream?
12:53Oh, no!
12:55Guys, somebody got a little bit scammed on Amazon.
12:59Fake Ryzen 7 9800X 3D bought from Amazon.
13:02And my goodness, they use the very forward thinking
13:07scammer mentality of put a different sticker on it.
13:11The outer packaging of this new sold by Amazon chick,
13:14chip, chick, whatever.
13:17Ares from Hardware Busters is going to get his money back.
13:19He's in the return process.
13:20But first let's take a look at what he got.
13:21A retail box of a fake Ryzen 7 9800X 3D.
13:26There's some definite marks visually
13:31that you should be able to discern.
13:33Side by side, you can see this photo
13:35of a genuine Ryzen 9000 chip on the left.
13:37And then you've got this 9800X 3D on the right.
13:39They peeled back the sticker
13:41and under the sticker was an AMD FX 4100.
13:45Guys, if you even tried to put this
13:46into your AMD motherboard
13:49that was intended for this 9800X 3D,
13:51you would bust your board.
13:53You'd just fry the whole thing.
13:54Imagine you were this person scamming
13:56or attempting to scam people on Amazon.
13:59And you just happened, happened to sell it
14:02to Hardware Busters of all people on Amazon.
14:06It ended up in the hands of the people that are like,
14:08hey, guess what?
14:09We gonna make a little content about this.
14:10We gonna put you on blast.
14:12Bad news, don't do that shit.
14:14Boys and girls of all ages, hopefully not all ages.
14:17Maybe like 18 plus type thing.
14:19I don't care how old you are,
14:21but hopefully you found some good news
