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!

This is how the Radeon RX 7900 GRE for 570 euros can catch up with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super for 840 euros. Overclocking the RX 7900 GRE gives a good boost
AMD has solved the problem with overclocking the memory of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE video card, and recent tests have shown that the adapter now looks much more attractive. Of course, for those who want to resort to overclocking.
The authors of Hardware Unboxed took the Sapphire adapter and overclocked it to 2.7 GHz for the core and 21.2 GHz for the memory.
As you can see, the performance increase turned out to be quite good. At 1440p, the overclocked card became 12% faster relative to the reference one, and at 4K the increase was almost 17%, which is very good by modern standards.
As a result, after overclocking, the RX 7900 GRE competes with the RTX 4070 Ti at 1440p, and reaches the RTX 4070 Ti Super at 4K. At the same time, the RX 7900 GRE in Europe costs from 570 euros, the RTX 4070 Ti – from 700 euros, and the RTX 4070 Ti Super – from 840 euros. Of course, Nvidia cards can also be overclocked, but the price difference will still remain.

Just four big cores, no Hyper-Threading, and this is Intel’s new flagship. The top processor of the Lunar Lake generation appeared on the Internet
Not only new Intel video cards, but also a new processor appeared in the SiSoftware Sandra database today. The Lunar Lake model included in the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro is registered in the software database, revealing some of its parameters.
The unnamed CPU contains only eight cores (four large and four small), but for Lunar Lake this is the maximum. The presence of only eight threads confirms leaks that future Intel CPUs do not support Hyper-Threading.
The processor operated at frequencies of 1.6-2.8 GHz. These are clearly far from the final frequencies, but Lunar Lake is created with an eye to maximum energy efficiency, so perhaps they will not have very high frequencies.
The CPU also has 12 MB of L3 cache and a Xe2-LPG (Battlemage) generation GPU with 4 Xe cores and a frequency of 1.85 GHz.
According to the latest roadmap, Lunar Lake is expected at the end of this year.

Such Intel processors allegedly do not exist at all, but there is already a motherboard for them. IBASE MI1002 is designed for desktop Core Ultra
Intel Meteor Lake processors only exist in mobile versions. Or not? The IBASE MI1002 industrial motherboard indicates that Intel is either planning or has already released Core Ultra as a desktop CPU.
The board with the LGA 1851 socket is designed for Meteor Lake-PS, which Intel has not officially presented. There were rumors and leaks about such desktop CPUs, but then it became known that Intel abandoned the idea. True, there was also evidence that such processors would still be released, but not in retail, but would be available to mini-PC manufacturers. Whether such mini-PCs will appear in retail is still anyone’s guess, but in the industrial sector, as we see, yes.
As for the parameters of such CPUs, they are not yet available. Most likely, these are just mobile models in a different socket – Intel has already done this.
