24 cores and 44 threads, I have the weirdest boner right now.

Correct me if I'm wrong as my math sucks... But shouldn't that be 24 cores and 48 threads? :huh:

My weird 24 core induced boner interfered with my mathematics....... XD
What I find pretty interesting is the fact that this 24 core monster manages to get a max boost clock of 3.4GHz whereas our consumer grade cpu 6950X with "only" 10 cores has a measly increase of 0.1GHz to 3.5GHz boost clock. Guess it's easier to add cores than to add clocks.
Intel's next-gen Skylake-E processor will arrive in the huge LGA 3647 socket therefore I assume we will rather see an increase of cores than an increase of clocks. I'd even go as far as to say that with skylake-e we won't see a 6-core cpu and start with 8 cores with the lowest end offering right away.

TBH it really depends. The E series are prob units that didnt meet the Xeon standard either due to nonfunctional cores, inability to reach/maintiain the desired frequency, power requirements etc etc
Haswell E could generally oc to around 4.3 with others getting around 4.7. Thats after adding a safe amount of juice.

Pretty sure they aren't the same die anymore. Haswell was, but don't think it is this time. Especially considering they have different amounts of PCI lanes, mainly to make room for more cores. Could be wrong but it would make sense if they weren't.

That is mahoosive!
Now let's wait for linus until his begging pays off and gets two of those chips to torture....
