Core i9-7920X

[awaybreaktoday]

Are there any reviews or performance results for thr Core i9-7920X as yet?

 

[humbug]

The only thing i can find is this..

Argh ignore, this is not the CPU you are looking for.....

He's asking about the 7920X, that's the 12 core, not the £2000 16 core 7980XE ^^^^

Also the 7700K is a bit crap in that isn't it?

Yeah i realised after posting :facepalm
Names are so damn similar.

Heres another

Yeah, well the Core i9 series is ok, its when looking at Xeon's that things start to get confusing :O

There's no point getting anything more than 7820X/1800X unless you do some heavy encoding/rendering type of work.

Right One would assume thats why he is asking?

I will be running 15 - 22 vms and recording the sessions to make tutorials to post on youtube....

Kubernetes
Openshift
Elasticsearch
Kibana
mariadb cluster
docker
sensu
gitlab-ci
jenkins
gocd

My biggest issue is memory, 64GB is not enough 128GB would be...

 

[humbug]

You know Threadripper supports up to 2TB?

how many vm,s can a 7820x run just out of curiosity

Unfortunately not, however given the lower starting speed (2.9Ghz) compared to the 7900X (3.3Ghz), I don't have hopes for high clocking that CPU.
Also on all SkylakeX you must invest to 4000mhz+ ram, because it improves performance a lot compared to 2666 ram. (40% in some cases).

As for performance, if it can clock higher than 4.4Ghz might be able to compete with the 1950X @ 4Ghz with 3600mhz ram. if not, it's performance would be comparable to the far cheaper 1920X.

What you want to do with it is the main question.
Gaming? You will be better off getting a 8700K by miles.
And if you need for productivity, build a second machine with a Ryzen 1700.


I was on similar boat like you. So decided to keep the 6800K for productivity to leave it doing it's job, and build a 8700K for everything else (incl gaming).

It would cost me less than building a system using 1950X or 7900X, and sacrifice few cores doing the productivity work on the background. Maybe if I can sell the 6800K at a good price, get a Ryzen 1700 as second machine.
(need to find a case fitting 1 mitx and 1 ATX board for dual loop WC)

Wait, what? Does the 7920x only support up to 64gb?

EDIT:- OCUK product page say up to 128gb.


Why are Intel being so quiet about their new fastest processor - surely they'd be a bit of a fanfare, no?

Was responding to the quote why i will not use ryzen 7.... It looks like i will go for the 1950x threadripper.

Some X299 mobos are limited to 64GB for some reason, but most can do 128GB, be sure to check the specs on the manufacturer's site.
The Gigabyte X299 Gaming 9 apparently supports up to 512GB when using RDIMMs, that seems to be the highest you can get.

PS: There's no ECC, so if you need ECC you have to go Threadripper, Xeon or Epyc.

My kubernetes cluster currently just has 32GB Ram assigned to it, want to give it 64GB ram, but cant due to other vms.

Ryzen 3/5/7 support ECC also, motherboard depending ofc.

i just got it and it gets a 2560 on cinebench at 4,43ghz.i did have a problem with temps on some of the cores going as high as 88 degrees. but after a delidding and naked die install im running 5 ghz and maxing out at 79 degrees. had to upgrade my mobo tho as the power consumption of the damg thing is at 210 W....

You are bit out of context. Which CPU? Because we are talking about the 7920X not the 7820X here

im talking about the 7920x?
