16cores, 24 threads? 32 threads seems more logical.

Yes that would be true if they where 16 high performance cores, it is 16 core that has 8 hight power cores that are hyperthreaded, and 8 high efficient small cores that are not hyper threaded this how you end up with 24 threads .
That said to everyone here is unknown how efficient are those small cores and what kind of a performance they bring to the table . They might be just really something like atoms ok for browsing and dead horses after that, they might be x86 cpus that got rid all of legacy support instructions for compatibility so paper weight for any program that came before 2010 ... But equal or faster to the big cores if you use the latest instruction set .... We do not know we will really have to wait reviews !

they announced a while ago that its using gacemont(atom) cores.

i dont believe that those little 8 cores will help too much in multicore scenarios to the big 8 cores.

Hilbert the 2990wx has 32 cores (sure it's just a typo), so this score is more impressive.
Venix
Oh i see , i missed that 😛

not really 2990wx is Zen+

the biggest issue i have if this is true in real world non-synthetic benches is simply timing.
if this came out last year it would be a hot item as upgrading was a big thing during the first covid wave. but millions of people have just upgraded in the last 12 months and that is a larger chunk of the launch/upgrade market than we've seen since before smartphones.
the other item is just the knowledge that the 13th gen (if it's called that) is around the corner and you do not know if you get a new chipset or pin configuration.
not to mention the inevitable v-cache 5950x doing better once it hits market but keeping the same chipset.
AM5 will also be in play, but for Xmas the i9 wouldn't be stupid, depending on kitting it out. the early adopter price will be steeper with new coolers and new RAM don't forget.
and i hope the mobos aren't too expensive... but that power consumption means beefy vrms...

they should be pretty fast, so really not that bad, this is the slide intel used to describe the gracemont "E" core , faster than a skylake core, seems they've beefed up those atom cores quite a bit vs older generations. [SPOILER]https://images.anandtech.com/doci/16881/E-Core%20perf.jpg [/SPOILER]

The new CPUs look great, but without being able to upgrade my GPU, my excitement and desire to buy a new CPU is dead. CPUs mean nothing without a GPU.

If those little cores can match skylake cores then a product with just 16 of em say with 15 watt tdp would be the bomb especially in the laptop market!

The little cores seem more interesting than the big ones...

And now the cinebench scores make sense all of the sudden 😛 , if they are true and the little cores are on skylake level.

I had to wait so long to feel justified in replacing my 4790K. Seeing my 3800X become very replaceable in fairly short order gets my urge to upgrade juices flowing. Feels like we're into another golden era for CPUs.

Whats the price point for those babies? 700-800 euros?

Looks like a nice chip. My 5950X i got it to 31238 i Cinebench R23, but the single core score it cant beat. The higest single core score i manage so far is 1654.

we ain't seen nothing yet, just wait until EUV chips hit the market.

With the current energy company price increases which is set to only rise as we search for renewable energy sources to move away from coal and gas there is already a 30% increase in electric bills in the UK this year alone.
300w for a CPU is way beyond what i'd like for a gaming PC. I'd rather have a slightly less powerful chip which only consumes 100-120w. One of these and a 3090 overclocked and you may find yourself reaching near a 1000w.
Man that's crazy really since we are meant to be trying to save the planet but guess Intel doesn't give a rats arse about those numbers only cares about beating benchmarks whatever the cost.

If that single core is true then this thing is another Sandy Bridge. That's a huge uplift.
