As it turns out, Skylake-X is actually WORSE on efficiency than Broadwell-E, somehow, in someway, Intel has managed to get worse.

Interesting parts are the voltages, which are almost the same, but the power draw is lunatic.
Prime95 v26.6 is actually non-AVX, to correct the "only AVX is a housefire on Intel" meme.
Turns out it was a meme.
More details in the article.
Welcome to Intel Bulldozer(also has a similar cache topology as Bulldozer, what could possibly go wrong?)

Are the cache changes the reason for this? Why would they change the caches anyway?

To make AVX512 usable

>AVX512 isn't useable due to insane temps
Sasuga, Intel.
>>61105428
Name 3 programs that rely on avx512
>>61105502
None, but this is a server arch, so it's gonna be used there.
>>61104986
Intel is finished!
>>61105514
Name one cpu that has avx512
>>61105982
Skylake-X and Xeon Phi
>>61104986
Why are you comparing chips with different clockspeeds?
>>61106239
Because one replaces the other, stock testing is valid-

I heard x264 supports it now. I wonder how 512 bit processing benefits 8 or 10 bit video.
