I don’t know but I’m curious: I’d imagine at that many cores you’re probably reaching the limits of how much power the socket can realistically get? I know some motherboards have that supplemental power port.
- Jonnax 3y agoYeah motherboards for threadripler have extra power supply connections. I believe there's a the option to connect two https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-threadripper-pro-7995wx-96-core-zen4-cpu-rips-201k-cinebench-r23-oc-record-with-peak-1-6kw-power https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-threadripper-pro-7995wx-96-c...

- crote 3y agoAs I understand it, the main issue is cooling the damn thing. Socket SP5 can do up to 700W, and that's all emitted from a heatspreader 72mm x 75mm. Getting the power into it isn't trivial, but it's not rocket science either. When the socket has 6000 pins, you can spare a few hundred for power.
