Not exactly. Price = $$$$. But if you can afford it and need all the cores, worth every penny. If you don't have the money, but need a strong avx-512, desktop is a great value.Basically confirms as everyone guessed that Zen 5 is a server first design. Desktop is just secondary.
STH said:Intel needs to reset its list pricing methodology for the non-hyperscale market since it is hard to justify the current pricing structure. It just looks strange optically to have list prices this far off.
What competition ? AMD is now totally leaves Xeons out in the cold in power/perf and plain performance. At any level in server, they are totally superior.And the conclusion from STH is that Intel needs to cut pricing.
Still it's good to see competition.
It's closer than it's been for years and in a few ways Intel has an advantage (PCIe lanes and acceleration).What competition ? AMD is now totally leaves Xeons out in the cold in power/perf and plain performance. At any level in server, they are totally superior.
They had QAT et al for eons but that's niche.and in a few ways Intel has an advantage (PCIe lanes and acceleration).
The advantage for Turin is quite big.It's closer than it's been for years and in a few ways Intel has an advantage (PCIe lanes and acceleration).

AMD EPYC 9005 Turin Turns Transcendent Performance with 768 Threads Per Server
With up to 768 threads in a dual socket server, the AMD EPYC 9005 "Turin" generation offers transcendent performance for serverswww.servethehome.com
And the conclusion from STH is that Intel needs to cut pricing.
Worth repeating that Intel's server list prices are so not real it's not even worth discussing.
The problem I think for Intel is that I don't think they can be that generous on any of their nodes past 10 nm since they don't have that much capacity anyway.

All the more easier to cut down imaginary prices! You get a price cut, and you get a price cut!Worth repeating that Intel's server list prices are so not real it's not even worth discussing.
