CPU Benefits

[SkylineGTRpro]

Regardless of price or value.

Which CPU would bring the most side benefits like PCIe Lanes and other stuffs and what are those benefits.?

thanks

Frankly, consumer side-wise you'd be looking at something on X299 or a Threadripper chip.

AMD EPYC CPUs have like 100s of PCIE lanes

Sorry I must have worded my question wrong.

Im looking at the "other" benefits besides speed and value.

Well, those open a lot of PCI-E lanes. That's what I was going off of.

Threadripper also supports ECC memory from what I remember.

Epyc and Xeons do support more features that Threadripper and X299 don't, though.

to me your two questions look the same, so it's either still wrong, or both are correct

Alright so Ryzen Threadripper has more PCIe lanes and supports ECC memory.

Is there anything else?

One feature that might benefit one person may be entirely useless to another person.

I think you need to narrow the scope of your question down to which CPU is the best at what task, or if you are considering what you should purchase, give us some information on what you intend to use the system for and what you need it to do.

Define benefits.  All of the HEDT CPUs are the same designs as the desktop CPUs, but scaled up.

 

Benefits... more cores, more memory slots, more PCIe.

Drawbacks... More heat, lower clocks, more expensive platform, most programs dont know what to do with more than ~8-12 threads.

 

Ryzen desktop CPUs support ECC, so no benefit there.  Intel is the only one locking that feature down on any CPU that could use it.

Yes I am trying to avoid that line of questioning because I have previously asked it.

I am simply looking for information about CPUs in general and the benefits they bring other then speed and value.

 

So far we have PCIe lanes and ECC memory for AMD.

I wonder if there is anything else to consider.

Intel QuickSync for transcoding tasks would be another one.

If you're trying to compare AMD to Intel or HEDT to consumer, then you should also consider the different motherboard chipsets and what features and restrictions they have.
StoreMI support, Optane Support, SLI/Crossfire support, SATA support, NVMe support, RAID support, Overclocking, memory support, PCIe lanes (from chipset), memory configurations (dual channel, quad channel, etc), USB ports...

 

It's important to consider what you need the system to do in order to decide which is the right platform for your needs. Without that information it's like trying to buy a pair of shoes without knowing what size you are.

Yes that is some good infos there!

I dont know what all those things are but I can look it up.
