Intel’s visit to Taipei’s computer show was impressive, with two 5GHz consumer CPUs, the i7-8086K for the 40th anniversary edition and the mysterious high-end flagship for 28 cores.
Among them, the 28-core processor actually caught the 7334cb multithreading score in Cinebench, to know last year's 18-core i9-7980XE but 3364cb.
Many fairly obstinate hardware media have confirmed further information and may be interested in learning more about it.
Previously it was said that the 28-core is based on the Cascade-X new server architecture, but not so, this is a consumer platform, but AnandTech said that Intel confirmed to it that consumer products based on Cascade-X will also have at the end of the year.
Currently, The mainstream media tends to base this on Skylake-XCC (extreme core count), and the key point is that with 14nm process, the Die area is 700 mm2, and 30 Mesh interconnect buses are used internally.
The 28-core CPU interface was upgraded to LGA3647, and ASUS (ROG, Dominus) and Gigabyte also previewed the relevant motherboards at the computer show, E-ATX board design, 6-channel DDR4 memory, The CPU has 48 PCIe 3.0 channels, that is, it can support 2 full bandwidth PCIe 3.0 x16 devices.
Because of the basic frequency of 2.7GHz, Intel revealed that 5GHz is the result of water-cooled overclocking. The demonstration uses the 1770W water-cooled compressor 'suppression'.
Of course, you need to pay attention. The LGA3647 interface theory supports up to 265W, so the highest TDP of the 28 cores is this number. Since the i9-7980XE requires more than 1000W power when overclocked to 4.9GHz, the 28 cores will only be higher.
