Relabled Xeons, just like all the previous generations. Same socket and same number of memory channels, it's just marketing. The 8 core variety has been out since 2014 (like the i7-5960X), and the 10 core variety since 2016 (i7-6950X for $1700). The 6 core (i7-3930k) goes back to 2011. With the new AMD competition Intel has been marketing these niche chips rather heavily. They are generally silly expensive from a price/perf point of view. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
