Is this a single 28-core CPU? The only other 28 core chips that Intel has are the Xeon platinum 8176 and 8180, which cost $9-$13K and don't clock nearly as high.
Or is this like AMD's Threadripper any EPYC, and they are duct taping together multiple CPUs in a single socket? Eg, 2 x 14 cores CPUS connected with QPI or EMIB ? 4 x 7 cores? I wonder if AMD patented this technique..
- ihsw2 8y agoIt is very much likely as you guessed, an EMIB-driven CCX design. Comparable Intel CPUs retail for north of $10K but they're nowhere near 5GHz.
- maaark 8y ago>duct taping together multiple CPUs IIRC, according to Intel's slides, AMD used glue.
- innocenat 8y agoYou know that intel has been stacking CPU before, right? Pentium D, etc. It's not like AMD is the inventer of thus technique.
