Do you guys realize this means that a xeon will probably be better in games than an i7?

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

This will be great for those few people who need tons of single threaded performance I guess.

There comes a point where clock speed won't give you any extra performance, so it's a small maybe.

If they are releasing a cpu with that as its stock frequency you can bet they're still in the realm of getting better performance.

This got me thinking what is the current highest stock clock on a CPU.

 

5.0 turbo, it's the 9590

Would be great for a virtualization server.  As long as it's super stable.

WTF is this? Who needs a 5.1GHz CPU?

My company does right now. I'm working to find solutions to a temporary software scaling problem (software is going away) that would be completely unnecessary if such a CPU were to exist.

 

I could imagine that cloud providers (AWS and the like) might look at a 5 GHz CPU and spec out a subspecies of instances that customers could buy -- focused more on clockspeed than core count. They almost certainly wouldn't convert all their servers to use something like this CPU, the thermal requirements at the datacenter would be enormous.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use, and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them. - Galileo Galilei

The cost for this will be insanely high, probably more than the 8 core 5960x Xeon competitor.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

The chip's supposed purpose:

 

 

 

Surprisingly, some sites which have stated this rumored Xeon chip are alleging that this specific processor has been designed for the US National Security Agency, to power their server requirements hence there will be a limited availability of this chip if there’s any to begin with to the general public through OEMs.

 

It's apparently for the NSA. Also, If Intel actually pulls this off, it'll be proof that they're holding back the consumer chips due to lack of competition.

I am conducting some polls regarding your opinion of large technology companies. I would appreciate your response.

I'm using this data to judge this site's biases so people can post in a more objective way.

Damn, what a high tdp. Will it ship with a closed loop cooler?

Yes, I'm that guy.

You know what's easier than buying and building a brand new PC? Petty larceny!
If you're worried about getting caught, here's a trick: Only steal one part at a time. Plenty of people will call the cops because somebody stole their computer -- nobody calls the cops because they're "pretty sure the dirty-bathrobe guy from next door jacked my heat sink."

I assume only like 1% of the produced chips can reach this frequency. If you binn the produced chips that hard, you can not sell a lot of them. So you make it exclusive for people that can spend a LOT of money for it like the NSA.

The normal folk gets the rest 99% of the production.

It's not proof of jack. It's a very high bin of existing dies. It has nothing to do with withholding performance from consumers.

What about OC'ing? If someone managed to get an OC on it, would 5.8GHz be a stable speed, then maybe 7.0GHz as a push!?? I am curious.

Single thread performance is much more important to me than a ridiculous number of cores.

Same for me and what I would use it for.

 

But from a server point of view and VM hosting, I don't think it would be as good.

i doubt it . If this cpu comes out , it will probably already be pushed to the very limit. Also you cant OC xeons.

Yeah that is what I thought.

Hence why I put "managed"

You can, just not very much.

That would make for a great modeling CPU, as most modeling programs are very heavily single threaded.  

 

Companies like the one I work for do all of our modeling on our local machine but offload the analysis to a dedicated compute server.
