That power consumption is really something else - 150w higher than ryzen 9

 

[Harlequin]

Looks OK for the money, stronger than TR 2xxx which I can't even buy anymore and much cheaper than TR3xxxx, Ryzen 9 is not an alternative due to lack of lanes. 4.9-5Ghz on all cores should go well.

TR3xxx isnt out yet , and these are pcie 4 lanes not the 3 lanes on the 10xxx;


also, 99% of users on HEDT are not under water, and the cpu alone is using 350w

 

[Harlequin]

AMD went down the same route with the FX 9950 - shoving volts into it to hit 5ghz

which , btw, had similar thermals....

 

[Harlequin]

This is still best

 

[Harlequin]

Sits in the nice whole left between TR2xxx and TR3xxx which a 3950 does not fill due to limited platform.

Did you read the same reviews as the rest of us? The 3950x is faster in many cases, and uses a lot less power

 

[Harlequin]

which is fine if you have a games machine, not so good if you want to run 8 NVMe drives

Performance is in the ball park of 3950x.

So you didnt actually read any reviews then by your comment.

Level 1 techs review against the highest end Xeon as well

 

[Harlequin]

is a 18core Xeon really intel's top end HEDT chip?

Im sure i've seen other ones with higher cores...

Its not, but Wendell tests the W-3175 which is a $3000 28 core part

 

[Harlequin]

Ah thought so, I knew i'd seen higher core counts before.

Do you happen to have a link or somewhere that shows intel's full HEDT lineup? Just want to see all the offerings they have, and how they compare with Threadripper counterparts chip for chip

[Harlequin]

Thanks!

Looking at this, seems as if 28 cores is the highest they offer.. Which is still beneath the 3rd tier offering from Threadripper at 32cores.

Intel are really in the gutter here

Intel have higher core count parts - just not for general consumption (or cost lol)

https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...alable/platinum-processors/platinum-9282.html

Cascade Lake-AP is the top of the stack ( Cascade Lake -W, -X, -SP and -AP in that order). It has 56 cores (112 threads) and a 400 w base clock TDP.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/1418...inum-9200-cpu-intels-biggest-cpu-package-ever

Puts it as a $50k cpu.

 

[Harlequin]

Isnt that a server class CPU though?

I thought the 28core was the highest on the HEDT platform

It is - but then again, you can also buy Socket P in retail for the - SP branded CPU`s

 

[Harlequin]

This was redicted 2 years ago - thats Intel wouldnt be back until 2021, the slimming down of the teams to focus on other projects
