Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

How much more can they wring out of it... 6 GHz for 13900KS vs 5.8 GHz for 13900K is only 3.4% higher clocks. V-cache alone is +15% roughly. I don't see how the 13900KS could compete.

To fight off with the 7000X3D, it does not mean it will be a competitive fight.

It doesn't have to. "I got the first ever 6 GHz CPU" bragging rights. People love to brag.

Do what AMD did and pair review kits with ultra fast DDR5. DDR5 7200 is going to be available next month after all.

First time in my life that I've ever seen the vast majority of reviewers intentionally deviate from stock settings for launch reviews.

Not saying there's anything wrong with it per say, it was just different and abnormal.

 

[nicalandia]

Ummm... Pat where is Sapphire Rapids? Where??

The samples were probably given with the understanding or even strong "advice" to test with provided RAM kits.

Not doing that would mean no future samples.

I'd say pretty strong showing. We'll see if this is the tipping point. They clearly need to ramp all those new nodes up or they will be at a chronic perf/watt disadvantage despite having great chips.

Pat forgot about Sapphire Rapids Update... Their biggest net income producer was MIA on that Keynote.

Unless AMD beats them to it.

Pretty obvious it's a 2023 product now.

Not until Zen5 if, the 7800X3D will not have a 6Ghz clock speed, but then again with those Toon/Ridiculous performance it really does not need to be that fast.

The 5800X3D is still and will remain KING on MS Flight Simulator even after the 13900KS is release, you just can't beat that type of performance.

 

[igor_kavinski]

That will be surprising. I think TSMC has so far shown that they can't improve a process continually to deliver higher speeds. Otherwise, newer Zen 3 steppings would clock higher and AMD could release XT SKUs.

 

[LightningZ71]

N4 update/revision to N5 MIGHT be able to improve speed binning enough for an official 6Ghz product in volume, but, we'll have to wait and see.

I don’t think there is much to add about Shappire. Do you want them to unveil it again?

Absolute shame. I am honestly surprised they managed to launch both Alder Lake and Raptor Lake, but have so many issues with Sapphire Rapids.

There is more of a chance than you think 😉

AMD likes to copy Intel's bad ideas. The KS chips are specially binned chips otherwise completely identical with already existing chips, released later with limited quantity. Who says AMD definitely won't copy that approach as well? (I don't want it but I already can see it coming.)

And I have no problem with that to be honest, because most gamers and enthusiasts won't be running Jedec memory speeds and timings.

However, the IF frequency increase is another matter entirely. That seems like they were using overclocking to get an edge.

We have no idea how common or uncommon Zen 4 CPUs ability to run the IF at 2ghz will be and whether it will cause instability over the long term.

 

[nicalandia]

There is no way a 13900KS will beat the 5800X3D on MS Flight Simulator and the 7800X3D will just build a lead on top of that, there is really no need for a 6 Ghz Zen4 CPU

What happened to asking for Intel CPUs to be compared at the maximum DDR5 OC speed the silicon is capable of? Where was your healthy concern for long term system stability?

What's wrong with that? More binning is beneficial to the consumer.

Intel Now Shipping Ponte Vecchio And 4th Generation Xeon Processors To Argonne National Laboratory

Intel has achieved a major milestone today by announcing that its Data Center GPU, aka Ponte Vecchio (PVC) is finally shipping in blade servers to Argonne lab. PVC GPUs from Intel are based on the Xe HPC architecture and will be used to power the Argonne supercomputer to upwards of petaFLOP of...

When will this beast power on at full capacity?

Nothing wrong per se. I'm just not a believer in high frequency at any power cost, whole lot of waste of energy to me.

Will this product with such a delay be still relevant in the next year market? Will anybody buy it?

I think 13900K closes the gap is MSFS. Clock speed + extra cache... We'll see, i haven't seen benchmarks yet. My guess it's 5% behind 5800X3D, while Alder Lake was 20%.
