Intel has finally created a kilowatt processor. In the first tests, the 56-core Xeon W9-3495X performs well, but consumes a lot
The flagship 56-core processor Intel Xeon W9-3495X was tested in Cinebench R23, where it showed a very good result. To be more precise, the novelty of the well-known overclocker der8auer scored about 67,000 points in multi-threaded mode.
This is a lot, but it is less than the 64-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX is gaining. His result is about 70,000 points. Thus, the top Xeon for workstations at least in this benchmark is approximately equal to the top Threadripper. It must be remembered here that both CPUs are based on previous generation architectures: Zen 3 in the case of Threadripper and Golden Cove in the case of Xeon. Both are flagships in their lines, but at the same time, the Threadripper 7000 on the Zen 4 architecture is expected at the end of this year, where the older model is credited with 96 cores, like the related flagship Epyc Genoa. Returning to the current moment, Intel is asking $5,900 for its new product, while AMD’s flagship will cost $6,500 if we are talking about recommended prices. And so far it turns out that Intel, at least for a while, managed to catch up with the monstrous Threadripper after several years of total dominance of the latter. However, we need to look at more tests.
It is also worth noting that the Xeon W9-3495X, with its TDP of 350 W, actually consumed from 300 to 650 W, and at the peak, the consumption reached almost 1100 W!

Nvidia says its Grace CPU Superchip is twice as fast as x86-compatible processors for the same power consumption
Nvidia said that its Arm-based Grace CPU Superchip processor in tests with real workloads shows a twofold increase in performance compared to x86-compatible CPUs in the same range of power consumption. With which processors Nvidia compared, it is not specified.
The company says these figures mean data centers can handle twice as much peak traffic for the same power consumption if they switch to Grace. Or they can cut their energy bills by almost half while maintaining productivity.
Nvidia itself says that Grace provides such results thanks to three main factors. Firstly, these are 72 Arm Neoverse V2 cores in one CPU (Grace CPU Superchip, we recall, contains two CPUs on one board), and secondly, in fact, the combination of two such CPUs via the NVLink-C2C interface with a bandwidth of 900 GB / s , third, the use of server-class LPDDR5X memory.

Asus GeForce RTX 4090 XG Mobile Graphics Dock external graphics card goes on sale starting at $2,000
Asus introduced the external GeForce RTX 4090 in the form of the XG Mobile Graphics Dock at the beginning of the year. Now this product is on sale for a very impressive amount.
In Japan, they ask for $ 3,000 for the device, but Japanese prices are sometimes much higher than global ones. In this case, the device is also available in Canada for about $2,000.
True, we are talking here, of course, about the mobile RTX 4090 Laptop – it is she who underlies the module. In terms of performance, it roughly matches the desktop RTX 4070 Ti. The module itself consists of two parts: one contains the 3D card itself and a set of ports, and the other houses a 330W power supply. True, the TGP value for the adapter is limited to 150 watts.
Probably the biggest downside of the device is that it is only compatible with select Asus ROG Flow laptops.

A new Nvidia 3D card with 20GB of memory and a 160-bit bus costs $1,250. But the RTX 4000 Ada has very low power consumption
Yesterday Nvidia unveiled the monstrous 188GB H100 NVL graphics accelerator for training language models, and now the company has added a card to its range that sits on the other side of the product line. The RTX 4000 Ada professional adapter is much smaller, much simpler, and clearly much cheaper, though we don’t know the price of the H100 NVL yet.
The RTX 4000 Ada, on the other hand, costs $1,250. And in terms of its parameters, this is a very unusual product. For example, it has 6144 CUDA cores (about as much is attributed to the GeForce RTX 4070 video card), 20 GB of memory, but only a 160-bit bus. At the same time, the consumption of the novelty is so small (70 W) that it does without additional power connectors!
Such a modest power consumption with good parameters is due to the GPU frequency, which reaches only 1.56 GHz. For comparison, the RTX 6000 Ada is 2.5 GHz.
The performance of the novelty (FP32) is 19.2 TFLOPS. Also noteworthy are four Mini DisplayPort connectors and a dual-slot design.
