    News Intel Bartlett Lake-S: up to 12P-Core or up to 8P-Core +16E-core

    Kontron also claims to support the current hybrid Bartlett Lake-S on B660 Chipset based K3843-B. That board also supports the E suffix CPUs too. https://www.kontron.com/en/products/k3843-b-uatx/p172725 So very likely than even if Bartlett Lake doesn't launch for desktop, it actually works anyways.

    You're forgetting the Prescott branch predictor, which Hardware analysts considered extremely good at that era. What?

    Discussion [Speculation] Working silicon that must exist because I don't see why it wouldn't

    Doesn't the current E Cores only Xeons like Sierra Forest can be considered a Xeon Phi of sorts? No GPU wannabe functionality, but it fits the definition of a sea of small cores. They also have socket compatibility with the P Cores only Xeons, which is something that Xeon Phi apparently intended...

    News Intel Bartlett Lake-S: up to 12P-Core or up to 8P-Core +16E-core

    To me this was always a Software problem. Wait until gamers learn about Real Time Operating Systems like QNX or a very well tuned Linux with the RT patches, Core isolation so that they perform one specific thread/application with no CPU Scheduler shenanigans, along with an objetive way to...

    News Intel Bartlett Lake-S: up to 12P-Core or up to 8P-Core +16E-core

    This is still not the answer I'm looking for. There is a gaping hole between "officially supported", "not officially supported, but works" and "intentionally blacklisted to not work". We do NOT know if it is BIOS restricted or not because there is NO evidence of anybody actually TRYING one of...

    News Intel Bartlett Lake-S: up to 12P-Core or up to 8P-Core +16E-core

    That was not the question. The question was if any of THIS list of Processors (Or any E for that matter) works on consumer motherboards. Also, that board you linked supports ONLY Xeons plus that Pentium Gold - that list doesn't says if a standard Core would work there. In previous generations...

    News Intel Bartlett Lake-S: up to 12P-Core or up to 8P-Core +16E-core

    Intel said that Bartlett Lake-S was for embedded/edge parts, those that end with an E like 12900E. Sure, they can use them for the LGA 1700 Xeon E line which so far are Raptor Lake with all E Cores disabled (Current highest SKU is 8P 0E, no SKU has neither IGP nor AVX512), but even a full 12P...

    Discussion 2025 angry motherboard rant (not mine!)

    DDR5 is quite sensitive to SPC (Slots per Channel), just look at how Raptor Lake 5600 MHz support is ONLY for 1 SPC whereas 1 slot populated in 2 SPC boards tops out at 4400 MHz. Anything above that IS OVERCLOCKING. Also happens on EPYC SP5 boards where for Turin you have either 1 SPC @ 6000 MHz...

    Discussion the Death of the Desktop CPU

    Socketed mobile CPUs used to be a thing until about 15 years ago or so, last generation I recall was the mobile Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge where the mainstream power variants were socketed. That was two generations on same socket as it is standard for Intel. And between 5950X and 9950X I guess you...

    News Intel Bartlett Lake-S: up to 12P-Core or up to 8P-Core +16E-core

    First time you hear about it? It is already widely available since Tiger Lake. I'm using it on Linux QEMU with a 12600K. Software support is behind though, it took a while to get a combination between Linux Kernel version, custom Intel i915 Driver, OVMF UEFI Firmware and VM Windows Intel GPU...

    Question Purpose of this weird mobo? (11 PCIe x1 slots)

    Come on, don't tell me that you don't know than that is a typical mining Motherboard for back when PCIe 2.0 1x was good enough to feed data to a GPU. You fill it with PCIe 1x adapters with an USB cable wiring it to a separate 16x PCB adapter. And since to put that many GPUs you aren't going to...

    Discussion [Speculation] Working silicon that must exist because I don't see why it wouldn't

    Second one I recall that I mentioned multiple times as a possible Plan B for AMD if DDR5 failed to come down in price and killed the platform appeal, cause they should be able to interface Zen 4 CCD with a previous AM4 IOD - is literally what the whole Chiplet thing was about. First one doesn't...

    Question DDR5 6000-6400 Corsair vs TeamGroup vs Crucial Pro

    Why do you believe than your XMP issues are RAM related and not Processor Memory Controller hitting a wall? What Processor you have? Did you follow overclocking guides to give slighty more voltage to System Agent or whatever?
