Intel demos 28-core, 5 GHz CPU

If they can keep a 28 core 5ghz chip from melting, they can freeze hell over.

Given the price of the Intel Platinum Xeons that's a hard pass from me

Though it would have solid uses for some of my teams use cases, I'll pay a developer for 3 months instead.
 
I'm guessing $3999.99 consumer price

And because there is an entirely higher market at this price range. No drop in price for 18 core part.

Motherboard at min will be 799.99 absolute lowest.
 
I will stick with 10 Cores. I can't imagine 28 cores being necessary for anything gaming related for years. If you are just buying for photo/video/music then wouldn't xeon be a better choice? The cooling necessary for this thing will cost $1000 by itself.

It's not gaming related. It's workstation that can game.

I have a 7820x and it's a great gamer but is a workstation chip.

I already understand that. My statement was more related to 28 cores not necessary for anything "gaming related". Its more or less a Xeon chip that can clock higher. Why not just sell it as a faster Xeon?

If Gamer Nexus is right, then it might as well just be a Xeon without the reliability.
 
Not that it's a bad thing. I mean the Xeon 8180 is superior to Epyc 32 cores in almost every way. It's easy to see that this 28 cores chip will also be faster than the 32 core Threadripper 2 that is expected to have higher latency than the Epyc counterpart due to neutered internal parts.

I assume no ECC even on this CPU that will be well over $2000.

so they will take a prototype a.k.a a platium 8160 and water it down to put onto commercial markets. Everything about Intel's Computex was a complete joke with the sole intention to get fanfare away from their rival. In no way will intel take a 750 odd mm die that is specially binned and low yield and put it onto the mainstream HEDT market. The redflags were made worse by having a specially designed high VRM board and phase change cooling to hoodwink the media. It was just bullsh/t and lies.

prototype became an overclocking display yeah right, they non-disclosed willfully, and the audacity to leave the test rig in plain sight for snoops to get the scoop on your nefarious ways.

The chip demoed isn't the chip that will be released for HEDT, neither the board used was the HEDT board. This post must add some useful info.
 
there are so many redflags there; so lets just bite through this meat to get to the bone.

Intel purports it to be a future 28 core part.
Intel then denies it is real but a prototype.
Intel claimed the exotic cooling was to show performance

So some issues

They used a Xeon and specialised server board to simulate future part so in reality it is just a reduxed existing part and you are demonstrating performance using no real feasible means of cooling, riggggghttt

In other news straight from the Horses mouth per Brian Krazysamich, Intel need to stop AMD taking 15-20% server market share, wondering what they mean by stop AMD and whether this is legal or does it mean Intel will create more lies like computex to slow AMD's gaining momentum.

If they're really launching this at 5GHz but it fits in the same power envelope as all the other X299 parts, then either next generation is going to be something truly special, or I will hold out for the 7 GHz 8-core part that will surely follow. Intel's HCC CPUs have always trailed their lower-core-count brethren by a significant amount of MHz.
 
It took about 10 years to go from 4 ghz to 5 ghz, and now you think 7 ghz is anywhere close??

5ghz 28 cores, 7ghz 8 cores exist only in fantasy....oh look unicorn

I think just about everyone that matters in the industry has had their pot shot at this and they have destroyed it in just about every point, from heat and cooling, to power consumption to how Intel used a low yield expensive Xeon to try make up a new product intended to be in the HEDT segment, there is no way Intel uses XCC special binned, low yield silcon for HEDT and sell 10K tech for 1-2-3K a pop and cannibalise enterprise.

just accept it as fake an move on, they may have a future plan but that was just a motive to derail AMD's release of Threadripper 2, and they had to go and mess that up with depicting fantasy over reality.

Fastest 26-core Intel CPU sold by Newegg is 2.1 GHz.

Fastest 8-core Intel Xeon CPU sold by Newegg is 3.2 GHz.

The 8-core CPU is about 50% faster than the 26-core CPU.

So really, I should have said that 8-core parts will be running at 7.5 GHz.

Simply amazing, Intel's new 28-core CPU will be 150% faster than their existing 26-core part. I can hardly wait.

No one said this monster fit in the same power envelope. In fact it is physically impossible.

I will say once again that 5GHz is an overclock that Intel is promising, so 5GHz is likely to be max single-core (dual-core?) boost for the chip on stock settings.

There is no 7 GHz 8-core part coming. We reach silicon limits many time ago.

How many times I have to explain that the 28-core Xeon used in the demo isn't the 28-core that will be released for HEDT? The Xeon used is a Skylake-SP chip. The future HEDT chip is a Cascade-Lake chip.

I will mention this relevant post once again...

Sorry, cpu speed doesnt scale up so neat. 3.2 ghz is relatively easy to hit because 2.1 ghz is so low. Increasing 50% above 5 ghz takes LN2 no matter what the core count. This will be true for many years to come
