It was only a matter of time before Intel maxed out the "Skylake-X" silicon on the client segment, by bringing its "Skylake XCC" (extreme core count) 700 mm² die on a client-segment package, and here we are. Without taking model names, Intel made it clear that it's launching a new client-segment 28-core/56-thread processor. The company didn't specify the processor's package, and we're doubtful if it's LGA2066 for the simple reason that the Skylake XCC die has 6-channel memory interface. Nevertheless, this processor is clocked at 2.70 GHz (nominal), and without revealing Turbo speeds, Intel managed to overclock it bench-stable to 5.00 GHz, at which it scored 7,334 nT Cinebench points. This product will launch in Q4-2018.

28C56T.........




Just insane....

More cores than some really low end nvidia GPU with CUDA cores.

First you will need to assess the price that Intel will charge for this. Assuming TR2 is not going to be able to compete in number of cores in this case, I doubt Intel will be willing to compete in terms of price.
Also, I do hope Intel do not cheap out and use their infamous TIM with this chip. It will cause a meltdown especially under load for prolong period of time.

Lol it probably can last for cinebench r15 lah. Some more the thing on custom loop. I doubt to really run 5ghz on normal coolers.

Classic FUD, no other details other than a chip that has 28 cores to be released 6 months from now and probably will be delayed if Threadripper 2 comes up short.

Yeah. Lol lga3467. Xeon setup, 28c56t, probably more to compete with Epyc setup.

With that amount of vrms, it need that much power to run it. Vrm cooling and custom loop needed.

Oh well, dont think any office running for server used will bother with this kind of exotic cooling haha.
