Intel 72 core Processor?

[Aponthis]

So as it turns out Intel had released a 64-72 core processor line-up. 

 

Anyone know how these work with Cinebench if at all? 

 

Could Linus, the king of overkill do something with these?

I'm assuming you're looking at Xeon Phi, which is more of a computational card(comparable to Tesla) than a CPU. I do not believe Cinebench will work with it.

Ah alright, thanks for explaining, appreciate it.

 

In all honesty was hoping that it would work for Cinebench just cause I'd love to see something smash Cinebench almost instantly.

yeah, I know the cards he's talking about, while they're very similar to the CPU ones, they're sorta hybrid, I don't think cinebench can use them like that.

The E7-8890 v4 is a 24 core with hyperthreading CPU that can be used in up to 8 SMP configuration systems, so that's 8*24*2=384 threads, at 2.2GHz, that would smash cinebench in probably less than half a second. 
*edit* that is $57,392 USD alone in CPUs.
384*2.2GHz= 844.8GHz of logical Broadwell-EP power (note you can only compare by multiplying core by frequency for things that scale well and are on the same architecture).

Yeah, you'd need two or four of E5 Xeons. That or go nuts and get eight E7 Xeon CPUs.

 

The cost probably won't be worth it though.

[Droidbot]

max e5 cpu has 22 cores, max e7 cpu has 24 cores.

 

but there is an ES E5 Xeon with 24 cores but its rare lmao

I think the newer ones (Knights Landing) are capable of having an OS being run on them, though, so I'm assuming those can run cinebench. I'm not too sure about Knight's Corner though (I think that's the name, correct me if I'm wrong).

They do have Phi processors with up to 72 cores, and those use LGA 3647 socket. 

I was thinking of the co-processors, not the standalone CPUs which I honestly didn't know existed.

Those are technically up coming full desktop versions, on the Skylake EX line, I'm super excited for them, Hexa memory channels, tons of cores, and what I'm assuming is higher than the current max TDP chips at 160 watts.

They were released last year. Up 72 cores, and 4 threads per core. Really insane.

Here's the presentation from HotChips: http://www.hotchips.org/wp-content/uploads/hc_archives/hc27/HC27.25-Tuesday-Epub/HC27.25.70-Processors-Epub/HC27.25.710-Knights-Landing-Sodani-Intel.pdf

$6400 for the best 72 core variant. Damn.

Don't forget that $1

I was rounding down.

Really? I thought you were rounding up. 

 

I was just questioning the logic of Intel saying that the RRP was $6400 vs $6401. Whats the point?
