Am I the only one who wonders how a high end, pre-production motherboard like this ends up on someone's couch laying on a blanket next to a 2010 Macbook Pro 13" running Windows?
At what frequency? 5.3, 5.4? And a 12900K runs at what, 17W-19W idle? What you posted does not conclude that a single core is using 41W by itself at 5.0Ghz.
You may be correct, I don't know for certain. I would have hoped they would, but it is Intel we are talking about. What was an Alder Lake 12700k (minus E-cores) pulling at 5.0Ghz?
Edit: I am seeing numbers online in the 270-280W range for 5.0Ghz with E-cores active). That's a fairly big...
Based on what calculation? A 13700k pulls in ~200 watts at 5.0Ghz on Prime95 small (with E-cores active @ 4.0Ghz). For argument sake, lets say it pulls 200W with the E-cores off. They are on the same process node as SPR and the P-cores are essentially the same cores (minus AVX512). To me...
No, they did not. We had X299, X99, etc. for all that. But you are right, Intel is targeting people with too much money. I was waiting for Fish Hawk myself (was on X299), but when they announced the pricing, I went with a 13700k instead. I can't justify ~$2500 for just a motherboard and 16...
Honestly, I would not call these HEDT. They are clearly in the Workstation realm (Xeon and TR Pro). In my opinion, HEDT was sort of a middle ground between the consumer lines and workstation lines. Give us an i9 (all big cores), without ECC RAM and able to work on a motherboard that does not...
I think this is rather misleading. Those numbers look like quad channel for that speed RAM. Remember that not all motherboards support 8 channel memory even though they support those CPUs. The ASRock board used here does NOT support 8 channel.
Unfortunately, its been that was since Skylake SP. I had to overclock the mesh by 25% on my Cascade Lake-X CPU just to get close to the latencies of their desktop CPUs. But it appears to be even worse for SPR.
Read what I wrote again.
I said people who buy these types of Xeons (for AVX512 and AMX) are less concerned with total power output from these racks. I never said all server buyers don't care about power. Of course there are plenty of instances where efficiency is preferred (that's why you...
Exactly. Server CPUs are not designed to have mobile level power requirements due to a lot of other die area needed for extensions like AVX512 and AMX. And to be honest, the people who buy these types of Xeons are not concerned about 300W vs. 500W.
I don't know where you read that the 3495X was supposed to best a 5995WX, but everything I read was that Intel was not expecting to pass AMD until Diamond Rapids in 2025/2026. SPR and EMR were going to try to compete with the 3995WX. No argument that the process node they are on is causing...
So comparing a 64 core system to a 56 core system, and the numbers are fairly close. I do not see that as a huge disappointment at all from a performance perspective. Power, on the other hand, is disappointing for SPR. I am not claiming SPR is a competitive product in 2023 (it may have been...
But its not really. We all know SPR is 2 years late due the 10nm disaster at Intel. It was designed (at the time) to compete with Rome/Milan. Intel never claimed that SPR would compete with Genoa, they (and we) know that's a lost battle. Everyone knew this before SPR launched and yet people...
I really do love these forums. People jumping all over SPR (Xeon) because of a lower than expected Cinebench score (not by much) and a higher than expected power draw on said benchmark.
- SPR has up to 8 memory channels for memory intensive applications (not measured in Cinebench)
- SPR has up...
I think it is safe to say that Willow Cove, in its current form, is only going to be a mobile product. Both desktop and server will go from Sunny Cove (or Cypress Cove) directly to Golden Cove for SPR and ADL. Sure intel could release SPR with a modified Willow Cove like originally planned, but...
Looks like it could be Cascade Lake AP (2 dies). Copper Lake only had 1 die.
*Edit*
No, it clearly looks like socket 4677. https://wccftech.com/intel-xeon-sapphire-rapids-granite-rapids-cpus-lga-4677-compatible-ddr5-pcie-5/
I have been enjoying my Optane drive for a few years now. When you consider Optane drives are far cheaper than SSD's were back when they were first released, its not too bad actually. No need to wait for the future! Then again, I am getting very impatient waiting for Alder Stream and/or the...
