Intel debuted its 28-core CPU at the just-concluded Taipei Computer Show. At a base frequency of 2.7GHz, it took out 5GHz+ at the scene, directly butchered Cinebench, and scored 7,356 points.
However, after the showmanship, Intel has been secretive about this product. Whether it will land on the consumer level (the outside world is now guessing that this 28-core is the Xeon platinum 8180), the architecture is Skylake-X or other And know.
However, the Australian media TT shared the pictures and data of the same motherboard with the Intel demo 28 core, from Gigabyte.
It can be seen that this is a large board of E-ATX specifications. The number of power supply phases of the CPU has reached a staggering 28 phase (IR35201 controls 7 IR3599, and the phase is obtained). The motherboard supplies 4 8Pin and suppresses more than 300W. The U is no problem. Considering that the 18-core i7-7980XE requires 500W power supply when overclocked to 4.5GHz, so that the stack can understand.
In order to heat the voltage regulator module (VRM), Gigabyte uses a 4 fan + heat pipe radiator, which is exaggerated.
It is noteworthy that the motherboard has 12 memory slots, supports A~F six channels, PCIe 3.0 slots have 7, of which 2 x16, 4 x8 and 1 x4, this is interesting, even Xeon Platinum 8180, up to 48 PCIe 3.0s, assuming that x4 is provided by Southbridge, which is still less than x16...
Looking forward to Intel's announcement of the complete information of this 28-core processor as soon as possible.
