MOST Server cores EVER Intel Xeon 6

Intel's newest parts offer up to 144 cores per socket with only a 250W TDP. The new Intel Xeon 6 parts, codenamed "Sierra Forest" are a huge step forward.

This cpu would have been scheduled for launch in 2077 if AMD had not stepped up their game

[ewenchan]

"These arrive just after my son arrived, which is 2 weeks, so..."
You look EXTREMELY well rested for someone who has a 2 week old baby. :)

Congratulations!!!!

[HaydonRyan]

Huge Congratulations Patrick!! Bring on Serve the Crib

[SpoonHurler]

This means more decommissioned servers for me to buy 😂

[Lustanda]

Data center that's still using V4 ish Xeon is literally going to be consolated to a few rack. Holy hell. Moore's Law is alive and well.

Honestly after watching that video I once again think that some leakers are only good at leaking sometimes the right stuff but lack the ability to really understand technical stuff and market positioning. Keep up that great content!

[oscarcharliezulu]

Let’s all welcome the new SFF - small form factor Patrick !

[jolness]

Congrats again on the baby. Hope mom and him are both doing well! We just had our second 3 months ago and I was a bit stressed about them until it was all over and we knew all was good.

The power efficiency with that many cores and that much RAM is impressive.

[dieboodskapper]

the ultimate test will be to run a benchmark test on a only one core (rest of cpu's in idle state) that has to traverse its data across cache and PCI to off chip memory the benchmark results and then duplicate this whole process in parallel across all cores using all cashes and PCI lanes and see how much slower the original benchmark is affected by IO bottlenecks. MY GUESS IS THAT IT WILL BE BETWEEN 30-50 percent. In the end buss access is still all about the resources divided by the number of CPUs

[novantha]

Is there anywhere an average person could even purchase a CXL memory module at the moment? Just about every vendor in the space seems to be "contact us" which typically means "$10, 000+" in my mind, but it would be really nice to be able to get a hold of modules of that type in a not infeasible package. Even $1, 000-5, 000 isn't impossible, if painful, but it seems like CXL is basically limited to enterprise large volume customers at the moment.

I just hope they didn't compromise on security too much for the sake of performance, only time will tell. The efficiency tho is mighty impressive, they finally have something for the competition and not just brand bs marketing.

[OTechnology]

Can't wait till these are $100 on ebay and I can build a 288-core homelab server

[diavuno]

I love geeking out over the latest and greatest but I'm always curious to see what trickles down for the single bare metal server or up to 3 VMs for the SMB

[oscarcharliezulu]

Memory plugged into PCI slots! Takes me back to old PC-XT’s and microchannel PS2’s.

[kevikiru]

I complained last time about the title and thumbnail. I must say that I love this title and thumbnail. They are informative but also raise my curiosity. And since there is a lot of information that is in the video itself, there was no reason to be stingy on the former. Thanks Patrick.

And congratulations on the new member of the family! Sorry I was so harsh the previous video around the birth of your child. I did not know.

Spectre and meltdown exploited inherent properties of speculative execution and out-of-order execution. Certain variants might be eliminated by having SMT-free cores, but I don't think it eliminates all (or even most) of the surface area for those vulnerabilities.

[Gen-dfgf]

Is this Out Already to buy? Where can I order or when is it coming out?

[RappinAcoustic]

More than these chips, I am excited about the ripple effect this release will cause in the second hand market when Cascade lake Xeons start flooding eBay at a much lower price than they currently are.

[michaelcarson]

What sockets do the chips use? You have not actually stated THAT, in the video or ON the web site.

On Page 2 of the article linked in the reply. Thanks.
