  1. Thank you all for the answers. At the end I will buy the 2990wx.
  2. You are right, I guess I was thinking of having DDR4 memory in a DDR3 motherboard. Being that not the case, we need more information to find the problem.
  3. Thank you for the answer. However, I have never worked with AMD before and I have some hesitations about it. If you happen to have used it for deep learning (or general Nvidia GPU usage), could you tell me if it works fine with CUDA and Tensorflow, for example? Additionally, I might have to cut the CPU budget to ~1000$. What would be your recommendation in that case?
  4. There is the problem. You bought a DDR4-2400 memory, while your CPU only accepts DDR4-1866/2133 and DDR3L-1333/1600. I hope you can return it and buy a new one. If not, resell it or save it for the future, but it wont work with your CPU.
  5. Please upload a photo of the RAM, or its name or a link to where you bought it, so we can see the model.
  6. Can you check the type of RAM you installed, and the CPU you are using? If they are not compatible, the system wont run.
  7. Hello everyone, I am buying a new workstation for my University research group. We mainly intend to use it for training deep reinforcement learning networks to control a robot. The model of the robot is programmed in a single-threaded C++ environment. Currently, we use python's "miltiprocessing" library to run 8 instances (I have a 4-core, 8-thread processor) of the simulator so we can speedup training with multiple experiments at the same time. The workload of training the network is marginal when compared to the workload of running the model, so it seemed obvious to us that the more models we can run in parallel, or the faster they run, the better. Given that, we are currently considering 2 options: a workstation with 2 Intel Xeon Silver 4110 (or similar), or a workstation with an Intel Core i7-9800X (or similar). So my questions are: - Which option do you believe its the best? I have seen in the Internet (and some Linus videos) that dual-processor systems not always perform better than single-processor ones, but I believe that my particular case (little amount of shared resources, intense CPU usage) the speedup can be considerable. If you have other processor suggestions within a similar price range, please let me know. - In the future we may want to use the workstation for a more GPU-intense use, like CNN training. For that case, we will equip the station with a GTX or RTX GPU (we have yet to decide which one). Do you believe that for that purpose the dual Xeon system can be a bottleneck for the GPU? I have seen some discussions about the performance of dual-cpu systems in CNN training, but it would be just OK for us if in this case the system works nearly as fine as the core-i7. Thank you all for your answers!
