Haha you guys don't realize that Intel's 18core processor

Testing the socket melting capabilities of these chips will be interesting.

I legitimately thought Intel would design a new socket for the 16 and 18 core chips. Existing motherboards are literally melting under the power draw of 10 core chips. This is 80% more chip, per chip.

Overclocking is not supported!

>>61794307
currently intel has 4 major sockets in the market competing each other
imagine 2 more

i cant help to notice that this plan was already crafted long before amd raped them with zen imagine if amd wasnt really competitive what we were to see from them

You're not supposed to overclock their 4 cores let alone fucking 18 cores

I installed it on my reploid and it seems to work just fine.

So, to compare the competing top chips:

Threadripper
>16/32
>3.4GHz stock
>4GHz single core boost at stock, with XFR headroom above that
>Likely overclock headroom of 3.8GHz all-core, possibly 4GHz
>Half the price of Intel's top chip

i9 $2000X
>18/36
>3.2GHz stock
>4.2-4.4GHz two-core boost
>Overclock headroom of 3GHz because you blew a VRM MOSFET off opening the BIOS
>Literally a Xeon
>Costs as much as a Xeon
>RAID KEYS

>Likely overclock headroom of 3.8GHz all-core, possibly 4GHz
It has already been shown running at 4GHz, it's not a Zen limitation it's the process. There's a reason why TR ships with a 4.2GHz XFR boost, the architecture is capable.

>>61794402
well, it is a xeon.
It makes me smile that even if these chips are actually good, Intel loses tons of money since they have to sell server cpus for desktop price

>>61794415
Sure but I'm being conservative about retail silicon. You can run an i7 7700K at 5.2GHz on water, that doesn't mean most of them can do it.

>>61794415
and there is also a reason as to why its a b1 and b2 step that not a single of the previous ryzen bugs are affecting them...

literally desktop zen was just a test bed

>>61794402
i9's don't even have ECC

>>61793493
Oh fuck I fucked up by buying 200$ 1600 didn't I? Should've gone for something costing at least 350$ and preferably over 500$.

>>61794402
It's not a xeon though. No ECC support, no solder and only 44 pcie lanes (if you're lucky).

>>61794402
the i9 has a 2.6 base clock
