"Enjoy Dramatic Level of Performance" feat. Intel
But that is on intel official arrowlake product page xD With the capitalizations.I Don't Like When People Capitalize Every Word In a Sentence
Posting images of empty motherboards doesn't really help your case. Be realisitic. You REALLY think they will have a fully ready saleable 8 socket system in 4-6 months?Here is the trailer
What makes you think they won’t?Posting images of empty motherboards doesn't really help your case. Be realisitic. You REALLY think they will have a fully ready saleable 8 socket system in 4-6 months?
So you think 8 socket system will be taking 4x as long to come out or something?They haven't even released the 2 socket systems yet, you expect them to have the 8 socket systems ready Q1? You are dreaming.
There is more to 8S system Some markets have real use case for the 8S configs that's why they were made in the first place as for Two cpu no one can find a reason for doing illogical things unless it is a bargain in TCOA backward minded and politics driven organization like Intel entrenched in their old ways will do anything at this point to try to get their customers back to the good old days of raking in profits by maintaining the status quo of artificially held back progress. What's the best way to sell more CPUs per server? 8S! 8 times the profits! Most dumb IT managers will expect these to be 8 times faster than single socket systems when they are actually not. I've had to forcefully block the sale of a 2S system to my organization because the vendor had no clue about software performance and just kept harping on the benefits of having two CPUs for one price crap.

2P has been the max config for plenty of rack mounted systems for at least a decade now. 8P is comparatively rare.as for Two cpu no one can find a reason for doing illogical things unless it is a bargain in TCO
They can easily make money by selling an 8S based supercluster to some shmuck governmentI don't disagree with you but they have their niche to justify making it for Intel at least which is bleeding money now
As long as they justify the investment in 8S i don't see the problem 128 cores 8S would have been better 🙂They can easily make money by selling an 8S based supercluster to some shmuck government

8s has like 1 purpose, stupid big db and that's it.
Please enlighten us. What kind of other workloads can tolerate socket to socket latencies?I think there's more than just that but that's probably the biggest.
Transactional Compute, Databases, HPC, they all need many hundreds of CPUs, and socket to socket is better than going through external interconnects.Please enlighten us. What kind of other workloads can tolerate socket to socket latencies?
Not to go off-topic, but Intels competition has 768 on one motherboard, so thats not the only option for a datacenter.Transactional Compute, Databases, HPC, they all need many hundreds of CPUs, and socket to socket is better than going through external interconnects.
8S systems are still significant part of Intel server. Last time I remember it's about 20%.
Should be less.Last time I remember it's about 20%.
But that 2P, not 8P. Would that be a lot worse ????Should be less.
Even turnkey DB boxes like Exadata can tolerate 2p spam, see the recent Genoa-powered ones.
How much less? 20% to 18%, or 2%? Because if it's still in the double digits then it's still an area they can't ignore.Should be less.

We run 2S systems because a lot of our LoB applications are single threaded, with core count impacting the number of concurrent user sessions and ST impacting the performance a user receives. So a lower core count, higher clockspeed 2S variant was better for our needs than the same core count in a 1S system that clocked lower.There is more to 8S system Some markets have real use case for the 8S configs that's why they were made in the first place as for Two cpu no one can find a reason for doing illogical things unless it is a bargain in TCO
You're a few years out of date, m8"I agree but a dedicated thread for the new processor series would be great! I'm also interested in the 6C/12T Coffee Lake-S and hoping for an 8C/16T option, though that might be a stretch until Ice Lake. It’ll be interesting to see how these compare to the upcoming HEDT lineup. If anyone has solid leaks or info, sharing it here would help keep everyone updated
