In a surprise to no one, it doesn't run at 5 Ghz like their demo did. Still, 4.3 is very impressive for that many cores. I'm curious how it stacks up against the 32-core threadripper.
4.3 turbo probably for one core out of 28 .. for a few seconds. I would compare it to epyc though, considering price (Xeon 8180m which is basically the same die with a locked multiplier is 13.000$, even slashing the high margins i don't think intel will sell this one anywhere near epyc's 4000$)
265 W TDP stock, yet comes with an unlocked multiplier? Good luck with overclocking. 5 GHz (as demoed) won't be easily attainable.
Interestingly, AMD's TR 2990WX has a 100 MHz lower clock rate (3.0/4.2 GHz), but achieves a TDP of 250 W with 32 physical cores. It will be interesting to see their power efficiencies (i.e. FLOPS/W) compared.
I'm wondering why dual-Xeon Silvers aren't more popular?
Xeon Silver goes up to 12-cores (but the 10-core seems best price/performance). So dual-Xeon Silver 10-core gives you 2x10 cores in NUMA configuration.
You get AVX512 from Xeon Silver. You compromise slightly due to NUMA architecture but less so than Threadripper (2x NUMA) or EPYC (always 4x NUMA).
Xeon Silver 4114 x2 gives you 12-memory channels, 2x10 Cores (40-threads). Nominally it was supposed to be under $600 per chip, but its closer to $750 at the moment. Even then, Dual Xeon Silver seems to be the best price/performance from Intel.
----------
The Xeon W-3175X is a singular NUMA node with 28-cores is nifty for sure, but its a niche product. Threadripper demonstrates that the typical consumer can handle NUMA nodes.
I can't imagine that most people need tight-thread integration that the W-3175X would give you.
