Too everyone watching this, it’s 2022 I am using a Xeon 1620 Sandy bridge from 2012 that is 4C 8THs base:3.6 it says it’s turbo is 3.8 but it really is 3.691. ANYWAYS it is still banging 1080P high setting games without bottlenecking My 1650 gddr6 gpu. Great shit

back in the socket 939 days, I noticed a significant difference between the athlon and the opteron processor. the athlon would crash or freeze in heavy gameplay. ,but the opteron could game forever with no issues, even in the most demanding games of the day. nowadays you can build yourself a machine learning crypto mining gaming and video editing beast with all the things, and it will do all the things. 52k Usd could build something most people should agree is overkill six ways from sunday, like two gold series xeon 6240R (94 threads) , 1.5TB ECC RAM, 4 48GB RTX A6000 GPUS, 8TB NVME SSD and a bunch of other meat on the bones like fancy case, fancy whatever, the days of supercomputing for enthusiasts have arrived :D

[@harrismurtaza]

I recently bought Z640 work station and switching from ROG GL752. XEON is a killer machine believe me core series is nothing as compared to XEON. most of the video rendering is done on XEON like all the news rooms, video editors etc.

[@harrismurtaza]

Also the clock speed myth is a thing of past go to intel ark website check there now XEON have nearly same clock speed as new core cpus.

[@anisalikhan]

dude. Same exact experience. The stability and basically lag and crash-free performance of Xeon... Nothing else compares. You can pick them up for very affordable prices on the secondhand market. Xeon platform makes an excellent base for a monster GPU. Cost/benefit, there is just no point buying a new "high end" cpu.

if you are a gamer on a budget you can couple x79(Ivybridge) or x99(haswell/broadwell) era xeons that use 2011 or 2011-3 socket with a Chinese x79 or x99 desktop motherboard and you can still game. They also make solid office/work PCs especially when using quad channel ecc ram configurations

[@konradciecko7107]

Great video! One question- doesn't additional logical cores count above the physical cores just increase computation efficiency where there are many tasks that can be computed concurrently? Cores introduce parallelism, which may lead to 2 times higher computing power, but threads only make it possible to intertwine the execution of multiple processes- but they do not overlap. Anyway the topic is pretty hard to grasp for me and I'm not sure myself if my reasoning is correct (please correct me if I'm wrong!). Great that you make the knowledge way more accessible.

HT adds about a 10% boost. So if you have 8 cores, you would say that equates to 8.8 cores. HT is for compiling and rendering.

[@dom3827]

Wow, as wrong as it can get. Depending on the application, it can be up to 100% boost. And it is not for compiling and rendering, that was not even in mind when developing this technology. The Idea behind HT was to reduce the time where a Core does nothing. This only works so good, depending on the application etc. Sure, in Minecraft you do not get a 100% FPS boost. lol

[@photoniccannon2117]

@@dom3827 Most applications won’t see anywhere near 100% of a boost. I’ve done various benchmarks over the years and have seen anywhere from 15% on the low end to up to 40% in certain scenarios (more than the 30% advertised, which I was impressed to see). Hyper threading is still nothing to sneeze at, it’s definitely a sizable boost in heavily multithreaded workloads (especially when different types of tasks are run on different threads). But it’s not necessarily a blanket performance doubler on x86 implementations of SMT either. 30% is a pretty good estimate of average performance gains in my experience.

Why does my slow i7 quad core 7820hq score higher in single core on Cinebench than the xeon 48 core intel 8168 cpu?

[@ChunkyOrca]

because that's single core performance. the xeon isnt good in single core performance but they are sometimes better because they have more cores. you should times the score of the xeon by 48 and you should do the score from i7 times 4 and the the xeon has way higher score.

[@heythere6983]

@@ChunkyOrca yea but for a chip that much better and newer, you'd think it would be better at this point. It shouldn't be scoring less than an old i7 . Its single core should be better by default and then multi core higher aswell.

@@heythere6983 xeons aren't even made to be good at single core performance so why would it be better than an i7?
