As usual, Intel in response to their main desktop competitor releasing a new line of CPUs is rolling out their new offerings. You can view our coverage of the new AMD Ryzen CPU’s and AMDs Geekbench overclock results on our articles here. Here are the specs and SKUs.
Intel does offer some impressive numbers with the Xeon w9-3595X (60c Saphire Rapids Refresh) CPU beating out the AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7985WX (64c) in Topaz video upscaling by almost double.
Pricing and availability:
We don’t have any pricing information at this point. A quick look, these are not going to be cheap processors, a P10958-B21 HP Xeon at 2.7 Ghz, and 28 Cores is listed for over $18,000. So the target market is data centers not desktops.
W790 motherboards are already in route from ASRock, JWipc, Gigabyte, Maxsun and Colorful with some options starting at $499.
HP, Dell and Lenovo are all still in the loop and will be ready to go to market soon with the new Xeon packed servers. As they come to market we can start to see the actual prices and what cost per compute Intel is bringing to the table to compete with the likes of Samsung, TSMC, AMD and many more.
