Intel to launch 28-core CPU before the year's end - Demoed at 5GHz on all cores

[WYP]

Don't expect this CPU to be cheap.



Read more about Intel's insane 28-core 5GHz processor.

Something wrong here. Display shows its a 2.7 GHz part. Boosting to almost twice that on all cores ... Well if it could do that, and maintain it - it would not be called boost frequency. It would be it’s base frequency.

It least it seems like something is wrong.

could use a few of them in Frostpunk that way nobody would freeze to death

Competition FTW. They are really digging into their enterprise lineup now. I wonder how much stuff they will have chopped out/disabled from the xeon platinum processor that they are re-purposing.

I also dread to think what the power consumption is like at those speeds as the 7980XE pulls around 500W clocked to 4.6-4.8GHz and the xeon platinum 28/56 processors are listed as 205W at 2.5GHz. Still, it'll be almost drool worthy even if it comes in at the $8500 base price of it's xeon brethren.

Intel has undoubtedly overclocked their engineering sample for the WOW factor. They need to showcase their single-threaded lead over AMD, this is their way of doing that.

cinebench never reported the correct clock speed for me either,i doubt theres anything messy going on

I assume it will be known as the "Core iMelt9"

intel fears threadripper 2.

Rightly so!

Assuming no voltage increase (unlikely) then the Xeon Platinum 28/56 processor would use around 410W plus a bit for efficiency losses at 5GHz. I would have to consult a engineering text book for the formula for calculating the power draw with a given voltage increase though but it is a exponential increase while clock speed increase is linear power draw increase.

28 core, 5ghz on all cores, ultragious cinebench score... Marketing (display a gamer...)
PUFF mind blown... lol

Did Intel mention how the CPU was cooled during the Cinebench test?

I can imagine the heat output from it rivalling a small nuclear reactor

They didn't say during the event, I watched a stream, though there are rumours that they were using chilled water.

Hard to know what they did TBH, as it looks like they overclocked a Xeon 28-core.

Hmm, chilled water doesn't sound terribly promising since you'd have to practically use a fridge to help cool it. If they achieved this on conventional cooling methods then hats off to them.

And this is a consumer part apparently... Looks like 1500W PSUs are relevant again LOL!
Apart from for miners ofc
