Just found that Titan Computers are offering a work station running 2x Eypc 64 core cpu's.

 

Would love to see Linus get his hands on this and see how it behaves.

 

I had a bit of fun on the configuration, check out the attached pic.

hmmm . . . 

 

Bit of a price gap between the first and second quadro . . .

And a steep price for the 860 4TB

Gamesystem: X3700, 32GB memory @3200mhz, GTX1080 Hybrid

Unraid system: Epyc 7352, 24/48, 96GB ECC buffered @2666mhz, 2x GT710, GTX1050Ti

No 10GB networking? What a piece of garbage. I bet my core i5 4690 is better

I once gave Luke and Linus pizza.

Not really, the 'base' cost of the system, im sure includes some base GPU, so its the price difference.

I too like making a machine by going to PCPP and sorting by highest to lowest price...

/s

 

If they actually got this machine (which they wont, because why would that company sponsor this or why would LTT make such a useless investment) it would be a similar video to the Xeon Phi CPU's:

- useless in gaming

- cool for programs that use all cores

- LOOK AT ALL THE CINEBENCH SQUAARES!!!

Wow that thing would score atleast 12 on Cinebench

This looks like a Mac Pro killer for sure. The only thing this Titan Computers full spec'd one falls behind is the ram (only 1TB), but I imagine the 64 cores on this machine is going to be a killer.

 

CPU - Apple falls behind (28 cores vs 64 cores jesus christ)

GPU - Apple is equal (both 2x Radeon Pro Duo)

RAM - Apple beats (1TB vs 1.5TB)

Storage - Apple falls behind (max storage on Mac Pro is 4TB)

Theoretically the RAM should also be able to hit more then 1TB, I think some EPYC processors can handle up to 4TB?

Or even have more threads than total tiles? That would be really funny (except for the person that has to pay for the system)

When Cinebench no longer manages to max out your CPU, do you win the game? xD'

Not necessarily. I guess someone might write a furious compaint to the developers accusing them of false marketing when it comes to multicore scaling ;)

Not very interesting.

One thing i'd like see Linus review is https://www.raptorcs.com/. Cares about your privacy, SMT4, but most importantly costs 1,000$ for an entry level motherboard and has 5 applications written for it because it's not x86.

Ryzen 7 3700X / 16GB RAM / Optane SSD / GTX 1650 / Solus Linux

This would be a nice Mac Pro killer, but I'm looking forward to the one LTT is doing in an old cheese grater.

Nice setup, the question would be - what's the use case? Computer Science lab?

That looks like it could be Linus' new footage ingestion station or pre-youtube transcoding box if you'd ask me.
