Intel’s 12-core i9-7920X features 2.9 GHz base clock

>>61452863

How does that even matter?

>>61452884

Are you retarded?

>>61452884
There's a correlation between base clock and overclockability

>>61452884
because turbo is is on a couple cores at most

>>61452884
Literally this. Anyone buying this chip is going to have the proper liquid nitrogen setup you need to hit the 3.1 all-core boost clock anyway.

That's the max freq you'll have when doing something useful.

This is the result of their choice to go with a Mesh interconnect for their cores.
> Each node in a mesh has to act as an endpoint and a router, it has to draw more power to operate.

This is what's causing the inferno on the chip + monolithic die (heat density). This is also what's causing the pronounced power draw. So, from what it seems.. they incur a 300/400mhz reduction in clocks from 8 core onward per 2 cores they add on.

The kicker of it all : Depending on which layer in the die the mesh network (it be sensitive) is located, this is also the reason why they couldn't go solder w.r.t to connecting the heat spreader.

While a thick bundle can likely handle the heat of a solder job, that grout like mesh interconnect probably would melt.

So I'm looking through the Xeons at what we know about the 7920 so far (12 cores, and a couple claims of 16.5Mb of L3), and 2 pop up: the Silver 4116 and the Gold 5118. Can we use them as a guesstimate for a baseline of where this will end up? Any benchmarks of them? I can already see the 5118's max turbo is 3.2Ghz, not really seeing it go much farther on the 7920, at least on all cores.

Dem diminishing returns. I calculated a 300-400Mhz drop every +2 core addition starting from the 8core. So, you can go 14/16/18 from there w/ some variability and you can see how you end up at corresponding Xeon level clocks. There's no wonder why they stopped at detailing 10 core. Now that AMD has released threadripper details they're eeking out their next +2 core bump.. LOL, finish for feels to see how people respond to the clock drop. 14/16/18 gonna get leaked one by one when needed? LOL

>>61453782

>>61452863
Cow2beef.exe says
10 * 3.3 = 33.0 GHz
12 * 2.9 = 34.8 GHz
So for a perfectly threaded workload, 7920X will be at most 5.5% faster, while unoptimized software can be slower up to 12% (the clock speed difference). All in all I expect them to be pretty much on par on averaged benchmarks, so what's the point?

>>61458534

Outside of golden samples those doesn't exist precicely because AMD bins ryzen 7 for leakage and clocks. That is to say you'll basically never (again, golden samples excluded) make a 1800x run at the same clocks as a 1700 at the same volts - it will be thirstier. In the same vein getting a 1700 to 4ghz is a bitch.

My own 1700 can do 3.9ghz at silly high voltage but 4ghz simply does not happen regardless of the juice I pump through it.

You can doubt away, but the same Korean who leaked X299 details with 100% accuracy is the source for it being a new socket. You're in for a big disappointment if you're expecting to drop one into your Z170/Z270 board.

Incidentally, he idea that Intel care about pissing anybody off with a socket change is hilarious. This is the company that made desktop Broadwell incompatible with Z87 motherboards, despite it using the SAME socket.

Or you can buy a 6 or 8 core today and you wont have any issues for a while
5+ year old CPUs are working well today
Ryzen 1600 or 1700 will be working fine in 4 years

Notice the 2600k @ stock

>>61460417
Coffee Lake S won't be as good at muh gaymes compared to 7700K and is too expensive compared to Ryzen for multicore performance. And it requires a new motherboard. Who the fuck is the market for this? Who is going to buy a new motherboard just for Coffee Lake S? Idiots who think they can delid/custom loop and OC it to 4.5 GHz? Intel pls.

>>61460472
AMD actually supports their sockets too so... You can probably just pop a zen2 r7 or threadripper into your board if you need more perf. From everything we have seen it will at the very least offer much higher clocks, making game performance much more competitive with intel. If they can tweak IF to make the l3 caching issues better by zen2 it will be even more ridiculous.

Quad cores are not crazy bottlenecks yet but they will be soon enough to not buy one anymore
You are saying its a major choke already which it is not.

The thing is games have been CPU limited for a long time now. Now if you pair a mid tier GPU with a mid tier CPU it wont be a huge deal but with how fast mid-high tier GPUs are these days plus with monitors running over 144hz you will end up being CPU limited on anything locked from intel
7700k is decent but its way to expensive and requires an expensive cooler as the 212 is not enough to cool it. Ryzen is the way to go these days even for gaming as newer engines come out that use more threads they will age much better than the 4c8t intel counterparts

>>61460520
Not after they see the benchmarks.

still have a little in reserve.

unless you are chasing that high refresh, anything back to the 2500k is good to go for years yet.

>>61460595
As soon as Intel ditch quad cores, their fanboys will be saying that losing 10fps average doesn't matter because you're getting more cores and it'll be useful for other things. You know, the same argument they dismiss regarding Ryzen now. And they'll jump and celebrate when it inevitably overclocks by a few hundred megahertz over Ryzen and offers 10% more performance, despite costing 50% more (and don't forget your $200 Z370 motherboard, goy).

>>61459895
Going from 16gb 2400 to 3000 is literally 20 bucks.

then zen2 arrives and crushes intel IPC, clockspeeds and core count at the same time

AMD have done it before. They must be pretty tight with AIO manufacturers at this point after the Fury X and Vega FE, so probably get a good deal on them, and it's not like 120mm AIOs are expensive even at retail. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see it.

>>61459036
> Watt is just Joule per second, so energy per second. Watt is literally just a simpler term for "total amount of energy".

W = P*t (e.g. kWh) would be a unit for energy, or as you call it, "total amount of energy".

Watt (J/s) and Joule (J) are about as related to each other as velocity (m/s) and lenghts (m) are.

Or is your velocity "the total amount of metres" now?

>>61452986
>32 threads at 4.0

Hnnnnnnnng

>>61452982
Not really. Not even thinking s out this on Tim. Just to hold this chip at stock with Tim will be a burden.
There is no way the other memelakes will not be soldered 18 cores unless you run this at apple throttling levels

It's good to see AMD finally providing solid competition again. It's like the Athlon 64 all over again.

>>61452983
No current process can manage so much cores on a same die monolithic at higher frequencies.

At least on tr is theorically possible to run all cores @4ghz with proper cooling since it's 2 dies.

>>61453383
GloFo works for free?

>>61453074
You can manually force all cores x40 but it's up to die to stay stable.

>>61462392
GloFo fabs for others besides AMD.

>>61462413
Who else is contracting 14nm and future 7nm fabs?

>>61459895
It is actually. Too bad the average brainlet doesn't have a comp. eng degree and thus has no clue why. The less clock zones and clock multiplier complexity the better. Ultimately, there's not much your processor can do when it can't access instructions/data to do stuff on.

Don't blame litography on Tim
Xeons sk is soldered and uses mesh
Probably soldering incur some loses like a % cracked die. With xeon margins it's very good but since they were forced to cut prices on skx they are cheaping out. Solder itself isn't costly is the lowered yield that soldering probably causes

>>61462289
^this desu. Lots of reuse across the product lines. Raises volume discount too. Plus, it takes a dump in shintel. You can even see an alienware branded version in the pics that have come out about their OEM system.

>>61462672
> soldering incur some loses like a % cracked die
> is the lowered yield that soldering probably causes
> lithography

You effectively restated what I just said ...That mesh design likely led to a more fragile die depending on how it was integrated into the die layers leading to increased cracked dies.

>>61462120
I'm guessing it's initial launch stuff, after a product refresh they release non-X versions and/or drop prices in lieu of no cooler bundled.as third party coolers come into play.

>>61462429
qualcomm uses them for their low-cost 14nm chips that get put in 200 dollar phones

>>61462289
It wouldn't make sense for Noctua to make a whole line of TR4 air coolers if AMD was bundling them with AIOs. Unless it's just the X parts.

>>61455693
but but but big die better!!!!

>>61453039
Rollerino

>>61463565
Of course it would. Noctua's high end air coolers are better than any 120mm AIO on the market (and many 240mm ones). Not everybody wants an AIO in their system either, be it because of a fear of leaks or a dislike for pump noise.

>>61463899
if AMD sells TR with a 120mm AIO it would be just dumb, sure the way it was built gives it better thermal characteristics, but there's still a high amount of wattage that needs to get out of the heatspreader and go to the radiator, a 120mm one is not going to cut it

>>61463899
and I'm really sad that noctua didn't show any dual tower coolers for TR

>>61464059
Don't worry, dual tower coolers are bit old anyways. Future is quad tower coolers. Maybe if we are lucky we will get hexa or octa tower coolers when technology advances.

> Rice-boy builders and their dual tower cooler stacks

>>61463565
All they had to do was change the mounting plate's surface area. They've stated on several occasions that they're using existing coolers w/ a bigger contact plate. Hardly anything costly to engineer or push out a Chinese factory. Their existing towers are already over-spec'd to high hell for the CPUs they're used on. So, they can just reuse them on threadripper.

>>61452863
A fucking embarrassment.

>>61462429
Protip: Most of the fab's chips by volume are from companies you've never heard of.

Can we blame Intel?
They got blindsided and have nothing to counter high core count ryzen chips.
What else are they supposed to do?
A new arch takes like 5 years to make.

>>61464332
they can't just slap a new baseplate, the heatpipes need to be rerouted too, so it's basically a whole new cooler anyways

I'm using an old 2600k, so I don't want programs running in the background.
