    Everytime I watch Intel Tech Upgrade it reminds me of that program in the 90s where lucky kids would get like 1 min to fill their cart in a toy store and could keep it all if they made it back on time. This feels almost the same, only for slightly more adult stuff.

    At that point, just take the legs off the couch and set it on the floor. When that leg finally goes, it's going to put a massive gouge in that hardwood floor.

      I think most people still underestimate how effective modern packaging is. As long as the retail box is unopened, you can throw most products off your roof and have them fall two stories down into hard concrete with zero damage done to the products. This is even more true for lightweight things like those m.2 drives, you could fastball pitch that box into a brick wall and nothing will happen to the drive inside.

    Why is this series (Extreme Tech Upgrade) so fun to watch? On the surface it sounds like the worst marketing idea ever: "Hey, lets give some media outlet lots of money they can do whatever they want with as long as they at least buy an Intel CPU. They film the whole thing and thank us for the free money. What could possible go wrong?"

    • @Wylie288
      @Wylie288 2 роки тому +67

      Its the best marketing idea ever.
      Intel gets huge advertising over a long time span for basically pennies.
      Linus gets free videos over a long time span
      Linus's employees each get $5000 upgrades
      And we the viewers get really fun videos.
      Its brilliant. (also they don't have to buy an intel cpu) Most of them are because all those cores are really only useful in super high tier workstations. Which they have at work, where they do work. Where-as going with a faster CPU like intel can impact games. Planet Zoo for example. That type of game gets bottlenecked by the main game thread very easily.
