As disappointing as the perf is for server workloads, what I'm really interested in is SLI gaming performance. I can imagine that this would be a boon for high end gaming with multiple x16 PCIe 4.0 slots and 8 DDR4 channels.
SLI really shines on HEDT platforms, and this is probably the last non-multi-chip quasi-HEDT CPU for a while with this kind of IO.
(Yes, I know SLI is 'dead' with the latest generation of GPUs)
- zamadatix 6y agoThese would be absolute trash for SLI performance vs top end standard consumer desktop parts. The best SKU has a peak boost clock of 3.7 GHz, the core to core latencies are about twice as high as the desktop parts, and the memory+PCIe bandwidth mean little to nothing for gaming performance (remember SLI bandwidth goes over a dedicate bridge as well) which is highly sensitive to latencies instead.
