Intel finally take the fight to AMD! (Kind of*)
- Thread starter jigger
- Start date
Just remember that AMD put most of their resources into the commercial server market as that brings in more money.
They've got the contract for Meta's new data centre, and a lot of the current gen AWS instances are either Graviton (ARM) or AMD. Absolutely zero reason to use Intel for mainstream use-cases.
The price of entry is very high. Motherboards cost is circa £1500, £400 for the 6core and £150-250 for moderate cooling.
£900, actually, for the Asrock W790. I hope those that only support the W-2400 CPUs will be rather cheaper. Indeed, with the number of PCIe lanes supported you could strip out a lot of stuff on that board: the 10 Gb ethernet, the U.2 connector, the wifi, 2 of the front USB, possibly more. And a Supermicro board is £740.
Depends on the board. I’ve seen prices of near £1800. What’s the model of the supermicro? That’s by far the lowest price I’ve seen.

Computerbase reviewed the w9-3495X yesterday:

Haven't looked at workstation chips for ages but glancing at their tests it all looked rather poor compared to the ~3 year old Threadripper 3000 Pro. Of course AMD barely bothers with workstation chips either (IMO) as I think Zen3 (never mind Zen4) is still missing.

Große Erwartungen wurden an Intel Sapphire Rapids-WS alias Xeon W-3400/2400 geknüpft, doch nicht nur im Test der Redaktion kam es anders.

The ASUS Pro WS W790 is ~£1200 and the ACE is ~£350 cheaper. Considering the spec, they don’t seem bad compared to how much desktop boards are. Wish they wouldn’t integrate 10Gb Nic’s, that would drop the price a bit and I don’t trust ASUS NIC’s anymore.
I suppose it depends on if you need fast networking and/or the PCI-E slots.
