Its the Xeon W5 3435X So 16 cores spread across 4 tiles, wich is 4 cores per tile. If you dont care about AVX512 but want 8 Channel and Lots of PCI express lanes then the 5955WX is just as fast as the 3435X and should be cheaper too.
Thanks I've no real reason to buy either as I prefer higher clocks for all around use which I why I've stuck to mainstream systems. I did run Xeons and Opterons in the back past but that and having to own a mainstream system or two was too much.
the last such system I owned was when disc drives were still common and used until just as they were beginning to be rapidly phased out of even prebuilts. they have their purpose, but not to mine.
I will of course be open to donations of working, brand new 64 or 96 core Threadrippers for Zen 4 or high end Xeon workstations if anyone is feeling particularily charitable.
