Hey everyone,
Here's part two of our Patrons Ask GN episodes that we filmed recently. As for other content, we're finalizing some additional work on the Ryzen 3 CPUs and preparing for Intel 10th Gen reviews. It'll be a little while for that, but the work is starting this week. We're also wo...

Hey everyone,
Just a quick behind-the-scenes video for our Patreon backers! We might eventually set this public, not sure, but for now, it's exclusive to you all. We've added a lot of magnets to the testing rooms, but more importantly, we've also been doing a lot of testing. Our Intel dummy...

Hey everyone,
We're back with another Patrons Ask GN video. We filmed two back-to-back, and the second will go live later in the week. Great questions in the Patreon Discord this week -- please submit more as you come up with them!

Hey everyone,
Thanks for checking back in and for submitting more Patreon Ask GN questions. For this series, I really like answering ones that are more about how things operate behind-the-scenes or "inside baseball," as Linus likes to phrase it. It's the type of stuff that we don't normally...

Hey everyone,
First, quick note: We just shipped Patreon award cubes, so you'll get emails notifying you of the shipment in the next day or so.
It's been a hard few weeks for the team with the travel coinciding with international events. I typically give the team about 2 weeks off aft...

We're in Taiwan right now, so please excuse the brevity on this accompanying message. This video was shot a little while ago, so there's one update: The WS Threadripper question isn't really valid anymore, because AMD said it believed AT's testing to be erroneous. As for the rest, enjoy! If you'r...

I worked with Keegan and Andrew to put together a couple of behind-the-scenes videos this week, plus a Patrons Ask GN.

I have a behind-the-scenes Patreon video coming up, but asked Patrick to fill the gaps with a walkthrough of our testing room and what's going on currently. The testing room is my favorite part of the office to show off just because of how much is always going on in there. In this one, you get a ...

We typically try to keep our CPU and GPU test parts out of workstation builds, mostly because the unavailability created by their inclusion isn't worth the (1) downtime in a production machine when a part is pulled, and (2) downtime in a test machine. The 3175X is unique in that way, though: Not ...

2019-12-01 05:17:56 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
We've been really drowning lately in work. I have been trying to figure out how to scale the business in a way that stays true to what we do, but just improves it. It's not easy. Before getting into that discussion, a note: I just sent over all the Patreon $20 tier orders (dat...

Hey everyone,
Our pipeline got slammed with all the Red Dead 2 stuff, so we pushed back a lot of our content we shot with Wendell. Part 2 of the server build has been done, just waiting for a time when we have a gap in the production schedule to publish. In the meantime, here's a behind-the...

Hi everyone,
This is a deleted scene from Wendell's trip to build the server/NAS. We had many hours of footage for part 1, but wanted to cut down closer to 30 minutes. We ended up around 35 minutes for the final cut, and this was one of the more interesting pieces that, although we wanted t...

Finally found some time to dedicate to a Patreon idea. First off, we're filming a Patrons Ask GN episode tonight, so that'll be edited and up in the next week or so. Secondly, and more importantly, I had an idea.

Hey Everyone,
It's been a while since we showed some proper behind-the-scenes in the editing room. We actually filmed this in late May, but we had to hold it back because the GN toolkit appears in it and we didn't want to leak our own product! Anyway, it's just an update on what we're using...

Patreon exclusive! This was not intended to be made into a video. While in KINGPIN's OC lab in Taiwan, he showed us a cool "lazy man's LN2 setup" that he'd invented when his knee was injured.

2019-06-21 23:32:57 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
We've been doing a lot of CPU benchmarking over the past two months. Unfortunately, we keep throwing away data because updates come out that seem important to test. We always try to pre-test as much as we can before new CPUs show up, but sometimes, that does mean we have to do the w...
