An actual half-kilo of copper being attached to a GPU managing to match a 140mm AIO at equilibrium isn't that impressive.
I agree that the Morpheus is already impractically large and heavy for most people (though it does (barely) fit into an NCASE: https://i.imgur.com/FstrBrX.jpg). A Noctua D15 weighs a full kilogram, which I suppose is why it's so competitive with equivalently priced AIOs.

Noctua says their new singletower NH-U12 will perform like the NH-D15, it is due to be released later this year.
They updated it with two of their new fans and added surface area by making fin stack thicker/longer because the fans can handle more flow resistance.

Outside of the high end of enthusiast processors and overclocking server grade stuff, whether you have air or an AIO won't matter as long as you get something that cools well. The processors are going to hit their limit at the same point provided you have an adequate cooler, and whether it's running at 83c or 60c doesn't matter unless you're expecting huge spikes in ambient temperature. And even then, my i7 3770k maxed out at 78c-82c before delid in 20c ambient and was still stable at up to 48c ambient.

I have a 1070 that doesn't go 30c above ambient on its stock non-blower cooling. It won't go above 56c or so on stock cooling even overvolted at a normal room temperature provided I use an aggressive fan curve. My 3770k would have sucked on anything because the TIM was so bad. After delidding, it's not thermals holding me back. I'm just not willing to throw potentially damaging voltage at ancient processor that I've abused endlessly.

Quality air coolers and the water cooling solutions that cost about the same perform almost identically in terms of noise and thermals. Sometimes, it even favors the air cooler.

AIOs take up less functional space in the case and people like how they look. Air coolers are a big hunk of metal with some fans attached. If you have an i7 or lower or current gen ryzen stuff, that's about the only difference between them besides "perception". If you want to venture into more expensive than air territory, water cooling can have a higher price cap, and at those higher prices you will get quieter setups with a lower aesthetic number

Der8auer hints at an upcoming soldered Intel CPU:

quote:

It sounds like there's a lot you're not excited about in the high-end CPU space right now. Let's talk about what you do think is interesting and new right now.

There are a lot of things that I find really interesting, but unfortunately they have not been released yet. NDA stuff. But I can say, especially on the Intel side, by the end of the year, we'll see some very exciting stuff. I can't say much more without getting into trouble.

One thing you mentioned in your video about the Intel 8086K anniversary chip was some rumors were going around it was going to be soldered, and it wasn't. It seems like that's an ongoing topic about Intel CPUs, whether they'll be soldered or not. None of the i5s or i7s are soldered still, right? What do you think about that?

Let's say that's what I meant with exciting. You can draw your own conclusion.

I suspect it's going to be a TIM similar to liquid metal instead of solder, he mentioned that Intel was experimenting with such a compound in one of his older videos, just like he mentioned 8C Coffee Lake during the 8700K launch last year.
Maybe they found the long term performance to be good enough and figured out a way to package it so it doesn't spill during transport (i.e. by applying some sort of gasket material around right the die).

All in one coolers are sucky? Reasons?

The one thing AIOs have going for them is that they're easier to install, otherwise they're more expensive, they introduce pump noise besides the fan noise, and a failure can be way more catastrophic than with air coolers.
The Scythe mugen 5 is under 50 euros and can keep up with way more expensive AIOs, it's my go to recommendation for anyone who doesn't want to spend Noctua money

I looked a few weeks ago and you're talking about like $1000 for the board and $1000 for a chip ($500 for ES). Drop that to say, $500 for a mobo+CPU and I'm dtf.

Encoders AVX512 paths might not work on Phi since those paths were designed for Skylake-X, and Phi (Knights Landing/Mill) doesn't fully support the AVX512 subsets that Skylake-X supports.

that was Intel’s big lie. It’ll run, it won’t run well.

Turns out getting enough memory bandwidth for seventy cores is hard and the mcdram performance is funky.

But sure throw two hundred threads on there and it might be a decent encoder.

I wonder if it's a reaction to AMD launching the Ryzen Embedded line since they have the same graphics as the consumer Ryzen APUs (which completely blow Intel HD Graphics out of the water). I can easily imagine industrial/commercial vendors choosing Ryzen Embedded solution over an Intel NUC for the superior graphics performance (e.g. for medical devices or digital signage).

:agreed: I evaluated this for some low-end MPI bioinformatics work, and learned that throwing the existing MPI-friendly code into the Intel compiler didn't give very good performance. The next version of the software came out with support for OpenCL/CUDA so it wasn't worth pursuing it any further for us.

Again though, I literally only care about video encoding, so if it does that at say 5-10x the performance of a 5820K that would be worth like $500 to me, no sweat.

Not having good AVX512 support in the encoder would be a downer, but it should still have AVX2, right? And maybe the instructions they are using happen to coincide with that sweet spot? Again, even if it was only a 5-10x speedup that wouldn't be bad, if the price was right.

Or, if you can trivially recompile it for the proper support, that would be fine too. If there's hand-coded assembler, that might be a maybe if you could just ctrl-v the appropriate sections from the AVX2 version, or just fall back to those versions.

The standalone PCIe cards are a hard no though.

x264 avoided AVX1 because that's almost exclusively floating point instructions that are useless for encoding, but AVX2 added integer counterparts and they absolutely use those.

I guess if all they do is add two more cores and everything else more or less the same they'll only have to raise TDP by 30% to fit the same all-core turbo. The i7-8700K is already perfectly capable of drawing >150W sustained if you let it run all cores at its stock max turbo though.
