Intel W-3175X 28-Core Discussion

$3000 Intel 28 core unlocked CPU. What a beast. Better gaming performance than a Ryzen 2700X, better workstation use than even a 32 core 2990wx.

Live overclocking fun tonight on his channel. I hope he has a 1600w PSU and a few fire extinguishers at the ready.

G.SKill's Trident Z Royal RAM Kits Deliver 192GB Of DDR4-4000 Punch For Xeon W-3175X
by Michael J. A. Sexton — Wednesday, January 30, 2019
https://hothardware.com/news/gskills-new-hexa-channel-ddr4-kits-ready-for-xeon-w-3175x

" Trident Z Royal product line. These new memory kits are geared towards Intel's new high-end Xeon W-3175X processor -- which we reviewed here -- and support high memory capacities and fast data transfer speeds.

G.Skill first launched its Trident Z Royal memory kits towards the end of 2018. These DDR4 DIMMs are some of the more decorative memory modules available, as they come with either gold or silver heat spreaders that are highly polished. The RAM is also capped in artificial jewels that have RGB LED lights underneath.

Prior to now, the Trident Z Royal product line was composed of dual- and quad-channel memory kits. Hexa-channel memory kits haven't been particularly relevant in the market, but that changed when Intel launched its Xeon W-3175X processor that supports a whopping six memory channels to drive up bandwidth.

These new memory kits appear to use the same DIMMs as the existing memory kits, but they come packed with either six or twelve memory modules. The best of these kits consists of a dozen 16GB DIMMs resulting in an enormous 192GB memory pool. This kit is also clocked at 4,000MHz, has timings of 17-18-18-38, and it operates with voltage of 1.35V. This speed isn't astonishing, but it is faster than the bulk of DDR4 memory out in the world today.

Thanks to the hexa-channel configuration, this memory kit is capable of 122GB/s of bandwidth, which possibly makes it the fastest hexa-channel memory kit on the market at the moment.

There's currently no word on when these G.Skill memory kits will be available."

 

Intel Xeon W-3175X Review: 28 cores of blistering performance
Intel's 28-core Xeon W-3175X isn't quite the Threadripper killer, but damn, it gets close.

"Intel’s crazy-ass 28-core Xeon W-3175X isn’t a CPU built for you, me, or most of us.

Sure, Intel pitches it as a high-end workhorse: “Built for handling heavily threaded applications and tasks, the Intel Xeon W-3175X delivers uncompromising single and all-core world class performance for the most advanced professional creators and their demanding workloads.”

But make no mistake, the 28-core Xeon W-3175X is a chip made to do one thing: make waves and push back at an increasingly assertive AMD. And it delivers—for a pretty penny. Fasten your seat belts, because you’re about to see some huge motherboards, a huger number of benchmarks, and the hugest desktop CPU price ever..."

Intel Xeon W-3175X unboxed and tested vs Threadripper 2

Gordon has been pounding away at his review of the 28-core Intel Xeon W-3175X - and while it isn't quite the Threadripper killer, damn it gets close. First we unbox it, then we go over the benchmarking results.

Darn, it's already out of stock.

At least the "daddy" CPU is still available, for $7,772.01...

I didn't see any Intel Xeon W-3175X compatible motherboards listed, lots of LGA 3647 server motherboards though they wouldn't deliver enough power.

 

Lol, they sold the 3 they had.....darn!

Pros: Runs basic games like minesweeper, mahjong, and solitare at 100 x 100 custom resolution, lowest possible settings, windowed at 6 fps

Cons: I had to reroute the hoover dam to the inside of my computer for water cooling, and also used some helicopters to keep the temps >100* F. I upgraded to an i3, which worked much better than this.

Other Thoughts: Not to big of a loss, only $5,000. Would recommend for an entry level office pc, not much else.

00 post code on the ROG Dominus Extreme? it's not you, it's a common defect on this board.

I think only the recent production run was affected, not all boards. but Level1 to the rescue.

write-up on the forum soon! longer version on patreon.

thanks jm, Chicago board of trade, cj, rm and more for all the pics, back and forth and equipment loans!! your patronage powers our diagnostics.

lol what a doozy! at least board owners can get a fix now

 

Good on him for making this video and exposing that serious issue. Glad there seems to be a fix now, but damn for $$ of that platform you would expect better.
