Runs like poo poo based on that video, not sure what you're trying to get at here? You'll get much better performance simply running one of the modern Atom mobile designs.

Seriously go check out one of those GPD Win devices, they work a whole lot better.

In relevant news: Brazen intimidation over Microsoft's x86-on-ARM interpolation! Who else actually has anything vaguely resembling a commitment to x86 these days, Intel? Do you really want to tango with Microsoft over this?

At least now I can give those tinfoil conspiracy nuts that Apple will go "all ARM" one day. I'd be a total bloodbath with absolutely Zero compatibility layer. If intel can bite the hand that fed it the lion share of desktop sales, it can attack anyone.

I've read some blahblah about how that Der8auer dude says that replacing the Skylake-X TIM with liquid metal gives a similar temperature drop as he got when removing the indium solder from a 5960X, so the TIM doesn't appear to me that bad and I guess it means they got the gap right (apparently).

at this stage I would take anything that Der8auer says with a pinch of salt given how much stuff intel is chucking at him

To be fair to those prices while I was shopping for X99 boards before I settled on one for just under 200 there were X99 options for 500 too. If people want to give them extra money they need to figure out how to let them even if all it means some black plastic and a silk screen.

It looks like most of the chips are actually going quite a bit farther than the first one he delidded. Like the one on the very top right is labeled '5525', if that's a golden sample then he got a lovely chip the first pick.

edit: maybe those are LN2 clocks? But that does look like thermal paste on top, which you probably wouldn't use with a LN2 pot?

Gregory Bryant, Intel's head of PC gubbins, said the first Core i7 X-series chips and the 10-core Core i9 will be available next week, with pre-orders for the 'mega-tasking' (bleurgh) 12-, 14-, 16- and 18-core processors also kicking off at the same time.

While the more mainstream, though still pricey, CPUs will be on sale in June, the big chips will be hitting the retailers from August through to October this year. You know, should you want to drop $2,000 on a CPU.

I found AMDs 1 week of pre-orders for Ryzena bit on the nose. Really not sure how I feel about pre-orders starting next week for a CPU you won't get until sometime in October... holy poo poo.

Skylake-X is shipping on June 19 though, woot. And I assume NDA will lift sometime before that? So it really won't be long until we get real answers on overclockability.

So we know for sure that Coffee Lake won't run on Z170/Z270... but do we know the inverse? i.e. will Skylake and Kaby Lake run on Z370, or is Z370 restricted to literally only Coffee Lake?

Not that it's not going to be an upgrade for the consumer platform... but is there any reason for high-end users to wait for Coffee Lake when 6-core/8-core Skylake-X is just around the corner?

Yeah most likely LN2 or single core clocks. He mentioned in other videos that he had access to SL-X six months before the announcement and that the sample presented is one of the best, so not necessarily representative. 4.7-4.8 with an AIO is more realistic. It also hits a wall around 1.3V Vcore even under LN2 unlike Kaby Lake which handles up to 2.2V.

PS: They do use thermal paste with LN2. Gamer's Nexus recently uploaded a LN2 with him.

Broadwell-E hit 5.7 GHz on LN2 though, so 5.5 GHz doesn't sound very good to me.

So when sre we going to see reviews come out? I remember seeing somewhere that the 12th was ment to be the end of the nda?

Also I'm really torn between intel and amd, im ether going to go with intels 10 core offering or a 16c threadripper

i really really hate the x299 eco system and how intel has taken stuff away from people re pcie lanes etc but if that 10core can get overclocked to 4.5ghz all cores or higher with water it would be so hard to say no to such performance:(

Rumors are that the NDA lifts on Friday.

I'm also interested in X299 because a 6 or 8 core clocking to 5 Ghz would be all the CPU I need at the moment, assuming KVM GPU passthrough actually works.
Threadripper singlethread performance should be roughly identical to the 1700X/1800X and while they're nice I'm not sure it's enough for a 165 Hz screen. Muh frames. :pcgaming:

What are you doing to regularly hit that many cores? I have a really hard time justifying more than a 6-8c machine personally. Even video encoding can fall off across 10+ cores.

Yeah, it just seems to have problems freeing memory or somesuch after a while. I'll have 20 pages of basically static content open for a few days with no changes, and randomly it'll crash on me due to running out of memory (on a 16GB system + pagefile). It's just a minor annoyance though, so whatever.

Ostensibly there's some benchmarks of the Threadripper 1950X out (3.4GHz). Linear scaling based on clockrate should be 30,7% compared to the 2.6GHz of the 16C/32T Xeon used as reference. On single-threaded, the TR only around 8-17% faster than the 30% slower clocked Xeon. In multi-threaded, the Xeon wipes the floor with the TR. The gently caress knows how turboing influences it all.

Wccftech, so salt etc.

http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-1950x-specs-performance-leak/

So yeah, still 7820X for me it is for now.

Very likely a fake since a R7-1700X will hit around the same score at 3.4GHz.

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
The 10 core skylake-x is going to come up a lot because of PCIe lanes and I really don't think it's positioned very well. Or it's positioned particularly spitefully. The niche of people who would be better served by the 7900x than the 16 core threadripper will probably be pretty small since you're already deep into the realm of heavily threaded workloads. Except I might be stuck firmly inside that niche myself because I want to game in a Windows VM while giving enough resources to both the host and guest.

Though realistically a 12c threadripper - especially if it had higher base clocks and more consistent overclocks from disabling marginal cores - would probably be a better choice, 16 cores just sounds so appealing.
