There are multiple tiers of Xeon. The “base” tier (I am very much over-simplifying) is the same silicon as consumer desktop/mobile with some features turned on like ECC. Mobile workstations and the like get Mobile Xeons. It’s less crazy than Desktop Replacements with socketed Desktop CPUs.
- bee_rider 2y agoIt’s a pretty fuzzy barrier anyway. Like the original Skylake i9 desktop chips were basically just Xeons, right? It isn’t like there’s anything magic in a Xeon, it’s just a bunch of cores, why not pop one in a laptop… just don’t hurt your back carrying the power brick.
