32-core Intel Xeon results surface in Geekbench

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/20/2017 04:34 PM | source: | 27 comment(s)

The first results of a 32-core Intel Xeon processor have surfaced in Geekbench. Presumably this would be Skylake-EP from the pending Purley-platform. Intel earlier on indicated that this platform would get 'only' 28 cores.

The results for the 165 Watt 32-core and 64-threaded processor are roughly 4000 points for a single core and 50000 points for the multi-core score. The base clock frequency per core would be 2.1 GHz, the results however indicate 2.3 GHz.

Purley is the successor to the Nehalem architecture, a platform based on motherboard chipset and thus the processor series. The processor platform will come enable six-channels DDR4, and AVX 512 instruction set and a new 100G OmniPath interconnect. Purley will support for no less than 8 processor sockets and will come with Cannonlake graphics and FPGA integration. The PCH is designed under code-name Lewisburg and it'll ship with new Ethernet controllers, these seem to be 10Gbps.

The Purley platform is tied towards a Socket LGA 3647. This entails twelve DDR4 (384-bit wide) slots (no joke) considering this processor has a six channel memory controller.

Via hwi, Geekbench, Google.

4000 single core score for 2300mhz?
Even if that's base with a turbo of 2900~ that is seriously impressive considering single core 7700k gets 4400~ with 4500mhz

I'm a little confused... i haven't used "geekbench" before but i have a question about the scores. I know when i use Cinebench that it also gives "single" and "multi" threaded scores. And those scores scale fairly evenly with the addition of extra cores (like 125 single threaded and 790 for a 4 core 8 threaded CPU. So roughly 7-8x the single threaded score for a 8 thread CPU.). Why then with a 64 threaded CPU is the "multi thread" score only around 13x higher then the "single threaded" score on Geekbench? I admit tjis may be viewed as a "noob" like question but i don't really care. Can somone explain it to me? Thanks.

It is impressive indeed. However if you take a Ryzen 7 1800X it scores 5000 points SC and anywhere close-to 30000 points with just 8 cores / 16 threads at 3775 MHz.

I'm guessing this will cost a bare minimum of $5000. Many of Intel's 22-core parts are around $4000.

Actually the 24-core part is ... well look for yourself.

The SiSandra improvement from BWE was insane.

Waiting to see what Xeons exist on LGA2066, if any.

I don´t care about geekbench scores, they are so bad optimized, much cache based, lastest intel generation based, and the scores can be edited by webmasters

Touche. But to be fair, there are also 18-cores worth $12,500:

And then 22 cores worth $4000:

So uh... I guess we can safely say these 32-core CPUs could range anywhere between $5000-$20,000.

In other words, my first comment was pretty much pointless hahahaha.

Yes, no one is going to be buying these monsters (AMD's or Intel's) for their home desktops, for an absolute certainty...

Or one could have picked up an ES V3, of that proc, which is Haswell Xeon, and exploit the turbo bug forcing 3.6ghz on all 18 cores but with a 135W TDP limit.

My 18 core was only "503.16 US Dollar".

It must be a measurement of combination of things since 7700k and 1800x @ same clock speed, 7700k gets a little better single score in cinebench.

I have no idea what though, I don't use geekbench

Synthetic benchmarks, like any other software, are not absolutes. Much not only depends on compiler and code optimization, but on how *well* the benchmark code itself is written--to the point of whether what is being measured by a particular benchmark is even relevant to the user's software environment ...

I'm curious about the Ryzen server performance, it's so awesome we finally have competition driving development again!

Jesus Christ Intel wtf? (To be expected without competition...).

Yes, no one is going to be buying these monsters (AMD's or Intel's) for their home desktops, for an absolute certainty...

But it's interesting to see what could be on our desktops in 10 years time, plus what's powering gaming servers and the internet in general.

Nice. Shows Intel has a lot in the pupeline.
...
and...
In your face, all those Intel-is-doomed sayers!
