HOLY $H!T 22 Core Xeon CPUs

Completely irrelevant, but I have to ask

Why is Linus still wearing the Apple watch as shown in 1:24? I thought he denounced it a looong time ago

Videos like this have significat longevity. Once anyone actually starts carrying the chips, they'll show up through those links, so people who watch down the line and may be looking to purchase them can find them here.

Unfortunately for now, there is not much point to them lol.

Ah, I was thinking that if anyone really was looking at spending multiple thousands of dollars on a processor they'd probably have made up their mind before seeing an LTT video and not needed the links

iPhone SE review may have required it.

Good point...

But I doubt it was required for the review

This video is almost a month old, who knows when they actually recorded it. Could be he was still trying the Apple watch or that he wore it to test the ecosystem together with the iPhone SE.

So you're going to spend nearly 10 grand just on those cpus and show us how useless it is to test on games? Linus did it is, most of us will be curious on, how well it does in games. It's something 99.999999% can only dream of doing, even if it makes no sense. 

So stop nit picking.

In my opinion it makes little sense to test games on such processors

Right there. Your first line tells me you didn't even watch the video. Right after he runs Crysis he explains how obviously pointless it is to test games on it. You went a 500 word rant about something that Linus explained and summed up in the following 30 seconds after he finished playing Crysis.

 Although very informative, thanks, I just wanted to point that out.

I did watch the whole video.

 

I just felt important to say my thoughts, because one or a couple of  simple sentences at the end of the video are often forgotten or ignored by most viewers.

 

Anyway, a video about encoding multiple video files in parallel would have been less exciting, the video would have less viewers, so I can understand the hype and the approach Linus took with the video, spending lots of time on silly test.

 

I just think more time should have been allocated to saying what the cpu is really best for ... but that would paint the cpu in a less positive way, and since Intel is heavy advertiser, giving the cpus for free and now the newer videos advertise the Intel Skull Canyon and before with the ad with "intel is bringing ddr4 to the masses" and so on...

What is the difference between the e5 Xeons and e7 Xeons? Why use e5 over e7? Thanks.

E7 is supported in a quad-socket configuration I believe.
