Will you be dropping one or two into Ian's lap as part of his Xmas bonus Gibbo ?

Just a couple, I have 5 units ear marked for him to do as he wishes.

We shall be selling for £3800 - £4100 dependent on exchange rates.

And how much will a supporting motherboard cost? Presumably none of the existing boards have the VRM's to support such a chip?

This one: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-Dominus-Extreme/

And I reckon it'll be about a grand on its own.

can't speak to the prices, but it will be on a new socket (or at least new in the consumer space) LGA 3647 and 6 channel memory so will be all new motherboards for it.

So, 4000 pounds for a 56-thread Xeon, 1000 pounds more for a motherboard and how much for a kit 6-channel DDR4?
And the cooling?

Jimmy a 115x stock cooler on with some cable ties, it'll be fine.

but just imagine how smoothly CS:GO will run

Honestly I think 8pack personally is at least half the total uk market for this thing

I don't think so. The package itself will be large and the bottom of that mainstream cooler won't fit in size.

I don't think CS: GO will detect that CPU at all, let alone run on it properly.

Nice job in killing my joke, dude

There is no value in it, since it would be cheaper to build two complete 18-core systems for the same cost as one system with this CPU and the overpriced server style board you will need.

We'll get Kaap to do a roll of honour thread for it....

Dual 24 pin, quad 8pin and dual 6pin 12v for “industry leading power efficiency”...

I assume there is a footnote missing stating that dedicated feed direct from the power station is optional..

I also love that the cpu alone will cost more than the majority of a system built around a TR 2990WX..

I had to to have a little chuckle to myself as well when i read that. So at least 2 1Kw power supplies, plus of course loads of LN2 to get it to that "ability to overclock to 5Ghz". Yes Intel, we can all see how much of an "industry leading power efficiency" edge you have over the opposition

Of course we won't take into account the cost to the industry of the LN2 8pack will need to use to get there.

To my calculations which include the CPU for 4 grand, mobo for 1 grand, 1 kit of 6-channel DDR4 for 1 grand, industrial chiller for 1-2 grand and a PSU for 0.5 grand, that is a pretty respectable amount ~8 grand

Oh, and a 2080 Ti for 1.5 grand.

So, in total ~10 grand more or less

Where do you get the 2x 1Kw figure from?

I'm not disputing it, i'm searching for info.

"Dual 24 pin, quad 8pin and dual 6pin 12v"

Screams 2 PSU's to me, and i can't see anyone using less than the best PSU's they can find.
