Intel in a nutshell. I think that to work there it's a prerequisite to be arrogant asf. Doesn't really matter if you can deliver or not, it's the the amount of arrogance that counts.
This is Intel’s _third_ generation of A “tiled architecture” (what they are calling their multi-chip technique and technology), with the first being Intel Sapphire Rapids (Intel Xeon Scalable 4th Gen) and is probably at least half of why that CPU was so famously delayed.
Intel guy be speaking bee ess marketing. "less cores are better because more cores aren't always used." Capacity Management consultants exist so ensure spend is efficient and matches usage. Programmers manage distribution of load. Idle cores means the buyers or programmers haven't done their job properly, not that a narrower CPU somehow don't have a problem a wider CPU does. Being forced to optimise for two different styles of uarchs (narrower faster P or wider slower E) with different feature sets and accelerators, IS a problem.
Server farm halls I've worked in had ear protection dispensers by the doors. The regular staff always used them, the Young Immortals working contract shifts didn't.
This video looks to me historic. It's like Intel had been a company that existed once that made the best computing chips in the world. That server room noise adds an "archive" feeling to it.
@@DJDocsVideos Itanium was DOA, a complete flop. Oh Yes, I'm just trying to be nice so that Intel funboys don't get ruffled up too much. My kind has been called AMD funboys after the failure of Bulldozer, but AMD owned it up completely and offered Piledriver FX-8350 at sub $200 levels after months after launch. It was a total steal.
"Oh! There's an adult in the room." I see. That explains how Intel got drunk and broke 13th gen. Really, you'd think we would be past horrible statements like that, but alas...
The intel divisions are really far apart; these are the server guys and don't really have a clue on what's the public opinion on Intel for the 13th and 14th gen chips. Vmin Shift Instability doesn't exist in Xeons; they are just trying to battle Epyc and the Arm offerings. He did sound like a smug prick but if you have ever talked to an Intel spokesperson before you'd know they know nothing besides their own line up on the server space.
this ezforsaken guy must be the intern(or from this marketingg department that invited wendell for the tour) trying to do damage control for intel because i ve seen him commenting everywhere below... try use different profile next time. its too obvious.
It is brutal trying to listen to the information on this video while those server fans are blaring. There’s a reason why folks in the field don’t discuss the performance properties of servers and plan their deployments while they are INSIDE the server rooms.
I get that only cores matter is nonsense, but going to opposite is just as nonsense. All of it matters and you tend to argue this doesn't matter when you cannot deliver. True not all users would need it, but arguing Google doesn't want more cores is just loser talk.
Just wait till you see my FluidX3D on Xeon 6 demo at SC24! Those 24 memory channels with 24x 256GB MRDIMMs at 8800MT/s is absolutely nuts. That is 6TB RAM at 1.7TB/s, perfect for gigantic computational fluid dynamics simulations and other HPC applications which are pretty much all bandwidth-bound.
@Level1Techs Wendel, Ryan, Krista, whoever is reading comments, honest question. Are Intel actually as tone deaf as this guy makes them seem? Because if so, sheesh, they can *not* read the room. Wowzers
Thank you for bringing the larger picture of enterprise and AI economics into the discussion. I feel as if 'Desktop Mindshare' is probably weighted by the community too heavily. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't buy Arrow Lake Desktop at half the price(probably), but it's cool to see the other side.
Why is he shit talking the competition which literally everyone is embarrassing them? This guy’s cringe is exactly why Intel is in the situation they are today.
To the adult in the room: Why are the top 10 cpus on Amazon AMD? Why is AMD stealing market share in the server space? Why is Intel's stock price in the Skibidi toilet?
It's all because of a big secretive AMD fan club that's driving down Intel's price! It couldn't be that there CPUs are actually better performing for their cost and use less energy!! But now Level1 will sell out because they gave him a big server to run in his basement for free
Businesses aren't buying their CPUs from Amazon. AMD are stealing market because their CPUs are good. There are many reasons for Intel's doom stock price. Pat being one of them.
At 9.40 proceeds to show a plethora of benchmarks that show EPYC CPU’s repeatedly trouncing latest Xeon, whilst stating these are the best and most important processors that Intel have made in 10 years 😅
@ I didn’t claim they were, but it’s ironic that the narration and the video are quite so disparate. Also a bit odd that the 64 core EPYC sku is repeatedly highlighted - as if to ask the viewer to look at that result, rather than the the other 4 or 5 SKU’s that are far returning far higher results.
I mean, it's not false... We've been watching generation after generation of EPYC get released and wondering when Intel would finally start trying to catch up.
I get what's being said about the entire ecosystem being important to the overall experience, but it seriously appears intel is trying to compensate for their underperforming raw compute by propping it up with other parts of the platform, such as accelerators. AMD isn't lacking in their platform, see massive PCIe bandwidth which is good for storage or networking, while also offering leadership compute on the CPU.
@@keyboard_g if you're running a bunch of servers that scale up and down sas applications you have no need for AVX512. Why make the customer pay for die area they will never need? It's fine.

So, is Intel Ryan the guy I have to thank for back in the day my Intel 320 600 GB SSDs suddenly losing all data and not being usable again until you performed a Secure Erase on them…? And no, it also happened during normal operation, not only during power cycle situations due to a faulty capacitor as was explained back then.
Xeon 6 seems like a compelling product to me in todays “AI” era. The make or break though is whether you can leverage Intels accelerators otherwise it loses. Based on managements comments about head node wins I think that’s starting to happen. Definitely a great time to be an enthusiast or in the industry!
As described, this sounds like the new robust and future proof threshold. Xeon 6 + PCIe-oF + SSDs, yeah ! Now we just need a board with NO legacy crap (don't use it - don't want it ). So, I think with modest investment, and careful integration, a home-lab can have the tech power of enterprise. Composable, Scalable, let's build it !
Sooo they finally Got A CPU with as many cores as an AMD cpu, just with insane power draw and that´s good why ? For that power draw you can get 192 Cores from AMD.
That’s hardly an insane power draw? 500 Watts / 128 Cores = less than 5 Watts per core, even less than that when you consider everything that isn’t a core that’s taking some power, like those dual IO dies for example. Compared to a 300 Watt 64 core server, that works out to … ~5 Watts per core, or more actually if you take 350 Watts. Also, aren’t AMD also selling 96 full fat non-c Core Epyc CPUs with a 500 Watt TDP, for an efficiency of … more than 5 watts per core. Compared to desktop CPUs 24 cores at 250 Watts = ~10 watts per core, 16 cores at 150 watts = ~10 watts per core, and if you wanna disingenuously disregard the efficiency cores, 250 watts / 8 performance cores = greater than 25 watts per core.
@@levygaming3133 Honestly thats comparing apples and oranges, comparing a high clock speed part to a high core count part is just being dishonest, they are meant for different things, but what I would say is that they are closing the gap between themselves and AMD, and anything that can take advantage of the accelerators built into Intel's parts it will be a no brainier to go Intel, so I dissagree with the OP and you, no it's not amazingly efficient, but it's also a massive improvement for Intel and in a lot of applications it makes Intel at least as viable as AMD and depending upon your workload one or the other will make the most sense which is super healthy. Wish the desktop/laptop market was in such a healthy position, this is great from my prospective and give me hope that maybe next generation Intel with be highly competitive with AMD in laptop and desktop.
@@Etheoma isn’t the clock speed on these intels comparable ish to the high clock speed AMD servers? Like 4.5GHz vs 4.8GHz for AMD? Unless you meant when I was comparing it to the desktop platforms, which was absolutely apples and oranges.
@@rudysmith1552 time slicing a single stupid fast core is easy and efficient. trying to get an application to take efficient advantage of lots of cores is a WAY harder problem. I would much rather have a 64 core cpu with double the single core performance of the cores in that 128 core cpu. there are also workloads that are just really difficult to parallelize that need to be done on a single thread.
Understanding the absolute basics of the lifecycle of modern chip design, at best, this chip was 18 months ago and we're just seeing the results of that design effort being taped out, packaged, tested, refined, and now actually delivered. What does Intel have cooking currently and possibly in the works...? Only time will tell.
Perfectly encapsulates why Intel is falling behind AMD now. Not everyone in Intel has this mindset, true, but if people like Pat "AMD is on the rearview" Gelsinger, Intel Marketing "AMD Snake Oil" Team, and Ryan "Adult in the room" Tabrah keeps running Intel, even if they do make a better product than AMD, this company is still susceptible to crisis like this in the future. The arrogance within every sentence he speaks is ridiculous.
Hi Wendell. I ran AMPS CFD (with IRONCAD) on a Ryzen 9 5950X to simulate airflow. I recently purchase a 9950x to see if things a lot better (IRONCAD runs smoother now) and explore SimWorks or stick to AMPS depending on the funds I can raise. Well I wish we can connect regards.
Really proud of my guys in packaging that the 4:48 shot is possible. Cores and blocks and accelerators are cool, but they don't do a whole lot without the glue team tacking it all together. I'm very excited by some of the current research going on in MCM packaging in different foundries right now. There's gonna be some weird chips in the near future.
Did Intel pay for your trip? Do they give you free hardware to review and never ask for it back? Because what I'm hearing is a lot of rah-rah without explaining how their business model will work?
These are paid videos (as in wendell gets paid for going there and making a video about it), that's why it has the 'Includes paid promotion' on the thumbnail when you hover your mouse over it. There's nothing weird about it, Level1 has done a couple already, not only on intel but on Amd and nvidia as well. Recent one that comes to mind that has a similar fashion (basically showing off the selling points of the hardware maker) is the video shot for GTC24 (Showing off nvidia Blackwell). This type of content is extremely common on the Server space and this channel has always done this type of coverage. Mind you he is not saying this is the best CPU in the world, and he is not saying this is better than others, he is just explaining that the new work intel is doing on the server space is really interesting (which as a person from the server world i agree it is)
I managed to get to 3 and bit minutes in of this... haha I just had to stop there, love ya work man but Intel can stuff it... This is just too hard to watch.... Even if their new CPU's are incredible they are about as trustworthy as Boeing at this point...
So they create a messy standard for instruction set extensions, then clean it up (?), but stuff that's lower level than that, they drop the ball…… Like, chiplets are about economy of scale and flexibility in allocation, not just making larger chips
Is that server mounted wrong, or is the rail system just weird? It looks like it's mounted one hole too high! Thanks for this video, I've been curious what people have been thinking for core/gpu ratios. IIRC I've seen 4-8 cores in my local systems as the latest, but I'm not sure where the sweet spot is as I can see plenty of workloads avoiding the overheads of shifting data to the GPU if there's CPU available (and avoiding the cost of GPUs with big amounts of VRAM...)
I think you should look into wire-less laviler mic's. I am thinking something like Hollyland Lark M2 or similar. The look super easy to use. Some streamers use them for IRL streaming. The perform surprisingly well in loud environments. The might be others that dos it even better 🤷♂. But wire-less with a magnet mount and multiple mics, looks to me like something you could benefit a lot from.
At the speed everything around the CPU improved, like PCIe, RAM, storage i get it why they want to look confident. But don't be surprised by the speed at which the kids are running and how fast they will be when they "grow up". PCIe and DRAM on Gen 7 are publicly specified and available for chip makes. M.2 SSD's are quite often limited by the amount of PCIe lanes. Thats why Epic put so many into them, to feed the cores. But the most important thing will be efficiency. If they manage to get a lead there all of AI, media streming, etc will jump on, as power is the main resource they are burning.
If that interview is indicative of the corporate culture that's festering at Intel, their decisions over the last few years make a lot more sense. Talking about "Adult in the Room" is just inappropriate arrogance.
after 21 minutes watching, you just told me intel realizes that memory bandwidth, storage bandwidth, PciE bandwidth AND IO bandwidth also matter in the eco system? Werent they at 64 cores 5 years ago? im confused.
So pardon this layman question: in the future when these CPUs and platforms will be "obsolete" for data centers and large mainframes or whatever, and start getting dumped onto ebay for cheap like with LGA20xx chips, will there be a reason to pick them up for consumer use? Or are they so specialized and high end that they're outside of what most consumers will ever need them for.
It would be nice but the gap between enterprise hardware and home lab is growing. Maybe you could buy it but do you want a couple thousand watt rack chassis with super load high rpm fans in your house?
Because it is but there's a good bit of information in it and if your evaluation comes to the same result as ours did we ended up going AMD fur the current round of updates/upgrades.
Will server manufacturers fit brushless motors to there fans in the next iteration of carrot chasing. The human ear is 3-4 hundred thousand times as sensitive as the eye & should be appreciated accordingly. Bosch can do it in their washing machines why not server machines, with aero dynamics built into frames. Stop the Noise!
The worst part is a lot of rackable equipment with fans is always configured by default to have them run at their maximum possible speed which is in the 9000+rpm and makes this screaming from hell noise. When 99% of the time they don't need to be operating anywhere near that level of cooling at all. If its any kind of demo system or network equipment sometimes they don't even have any options to turn that sht down at all...
Best Xeon in 10 years - yup. But I'll be surprised if the prices match competitor Turin systems. We basically buy exclusively Dell servers and I have a few 96 core EPYC 9004 in use - but we haven't bought an Intel system in about 5 years other than a recent purchase of some low-end R360s with Xeon E-2468 (because Dell doesn't offer a Siena option, and I don't want to be buying Milan systems at this point - and besides, those are overlkill for some of the low-end systems we need).
@Level1Techs where do you learn all this stuff! I want to set up my own rack for my own masochistic needs! I gotta figure out how to set up and use all this stuff and what I want to use it for 😬
I don,t miss that 10 x Dyson Vacuum Cleaner screaming fan noise, I spent a lot of time and money on my home lab to shut it up, but I wouldn't mind one of those 500w Xeon's.....

I see glued together dies, was this ever mentioned in any press slides or public ?
This is Intel’s _third_ generation of A “tiled architecture” (what they are calling their multi-chip technique and technology), with the first being Intel Sapphire Rapids (Intel Xeon Scalable 4th Gen) and is probably at least half of why that CPU was so famously delayed.
Explaining complex information in a noisy room doesn't work.
Intel guy be speaking bee ess marketing. "less cores are better because more cores aren't always used." Capacity Management consultants exist so ensure spend is efficient and matches usage. Programmers manage distribution of load. Idle cores means the buyers or programmers haven't done their job properly, not that a narrower CPU somehow don't have a problem a wider CPU does. Being forced to optimise for two different styles of uarchs (narrower faster P or wider slower E) with different feature sets and accelerators, IS a problem.
When you film by the servers I fear for your hearing... and mine. LOL
Server farm halls I've worked in had ear protection dispensers by the doors. The regular staff always used them, the Young Immortals working contract shifts didn't.

That guy at 4.5 minutes acting like every cpu designer in the world doesn't already know about having enough memory bandwidth to feed the cores.
but the exciting new development is that less cores is now better.
@@greebjWell this is true, as demonstrated by the R7 9800x3D vs Core 9 Ultra fewer cores actually look better
This video looks to me historic. It's like Intel had been a company that existed once that made the best computing chips in the world.
That server room noise adds an "archive" feeling to it.
" that made the best computing chips in the world" when was that back in the Itanium days? lol
@@DJDocsVideos Itanium was DOA, a complete flop.
Oh Yes, I'm just trying to be nice so that Intel funboys don't get ruffled up too much.
My kind has been called AMD funboys after the failure of Bulldozer, but AMD owned it up completely and offered Piledriver FX-8350 at sub $200 levels after months after launch. It was a total steal.
Actually, it makes perfect sense. Both of those things are inherently past-tense.🔥
"Oh! There's an adult in the room." I see. That explains how Intel got drunk and broke 13th gen.
Really, you'd think we would be past horrible statements like that, but alas...
Toughen up, buttercup.
The intel divisions are really far apart; these are the server guys and don't really have a clue on what's the public opinion on Intel for the 13th and 14th gen chips. Vmin Shift Instability doesn't exist in Xeons; they are just trying to battle Epyc and the Arm offerings. He did sound like a smug prick but if you have ever talked to an Intel spokesperson before you'd know they know nothing besides their own line up on the server space.
Wendel, I have a lot of respect for you... But nothing can soften the crash landing of Intel we're witnessing in slow-mo. Gotta keep it real.
I mean there's no vshift in Xeons, the server division didn't do any screw ups.
this ezforsaken guy must be the intern(or from this marketingg department that invited wendell for the tour) trying to do damage control for intel because i ve seen him commenting everywhere below... try use different profile next time. its too obvious.
It is brutal trying to listen to the information on this video while those server fans are blaring. There’s a reason why folks in the field don’t discuss the performance properties of servers and plan their deployments while they are INSIDE the server rooms.
I get that only cores matter is nonsense, but going to opposite is just as nonsense. All of it matters and you tend to argue this doesn't matter when you cannot deliver. True not all users would need it, but arguing Google doesn't want more cores is just loser talk.
Just wait till you see my FluidX3D on Xeon 6 demo at SC24! Those 24 memory channels with 24x 256GB MRDIMMs at 8800MT/s is absolutely nuts. That is 6TB RAM at 1.7TB/s, perfect for gigantic computational fluid dynamics simulations and other HPC applications which are pretty much all bandwidth-bound.
"ok there's an adult in the room" yeeaah sure grandpa, lets get you back to the bingo-club ok?
Grandpa's should not be underestimated. AMD wouldn't exist unless IBM needed a second source for the 8088. Competition is a good thing.
@Level1Techs
Wendel, Ryan, Krista, whoever is reading comments, honest question. Are Intel actually as tone deaf as this guy makes them seem? Because if so, sheesh, they can *not* read the room. Wowzers
Thank you for bringing the larger picture of enterprise and AI economics into the discussion. I feel as if 'Desktop Mindshare' is probably weighted by the community too heavily. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't buy Arrow Lake Desktop at half the price(probably), but it's cool to see the other side.
Why is he shit talking the competition which literally everyone is embarrassing them? This guy’s cringe is exactly why Intel is in the situation they are today.
To the adult in the room:
Why are the top 10 cpus on Amazon AMD?
Why is AMD stealing market share in the server space?
Why is Intel's stock price in the Skibidi toilet?
It's all because of a big secretive AMD fan club that's driving down Intel's price! It couldn't be that there CPUs are actually better performing for their cost and use less energy!!
But now Level1 will sell out because they gave him a big server to run in his basement for free
because intel messed up
also DIY PCs are irrelevant for these companies
All that I've been given
Is this pain that I've been living
They got me in the system
Why they gotta do me like that?
Businesses aren't buying their CPUs from Amazon.
AMD are stealing market because their CPUs are good.
There are many reasons for Intel's doom stock price. Pat being one of them.
The "Adult in the room" has alzheimers
the marketing speak from that guy made me want to vomit. I'm not sure the nuggets of useful info were worth it in this one...
At 9.40 proceeds to show a plethora of benchmarks that show EPYC CPU’s repeatedly trouncing latest Xeon, whilst stating these are the best and most important processors that Intel have made in 10 years 😅
How are those mutually exclusive?
@ I didn’t claim they were, but it’s ironic that the narration and the video are quite so disparate. Also a bit odd that the 64 core EPYC sku is repeatedly highlighted - as if to ask the viewer to look at that result, rather than the the other 4 or 5 SKU’s that are far returning far higher results.
“The industry has been waiting around for Intel to get into the game” AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
the BS is strong in this one. lol
hahaha, i misssed that, got to see it, where is it ?
I mean, it's not false... We've been watching generation after generation of EPYC get released and wondering when Intel would finally start trying to catch up.
I get what's being said about the entire ecosystem being important to the overall experience, but it seriously appears intel is trying to compensate for their underperforming raw compute by propping it up with other parts of the platform, such as accelerators. AMD isn't lacking in their platform, see massive PCIe bandwidth which is good for storage or networking, while also offering leadership compute on the CPU.
The hubris and narcissism from Ryan really turned me off on the video.
What I really want is the E3 series Xeon to return, like the 1241v3 I'm using right now.
So incredible that Intel fragmented the ISA by shipping skus with only P cores and others with only E cores with no AVX512.
@@keyboard_g if you're running a bunch of servers that scale up and down sas applications you have no need for AVX512. Why make the customer pay for die area they will never need? It's fine. Different markets have different needs. It is a pain for Intel to manage such different skus in the data center market though

1:26 This is all the explanation we need for Zen5.
It is funny that Intel would historically pump billions of dollars into maintaining dominance in the laptop market, I guess they did it just for the entertainment value.
Intel missed the Ai boat...the market isnt waiting for them, there is already and adult in the room, and a teenager catching up quick. Intel is an infant in this room. if they can catch up great, but the market isnt waiting for Intel to catch up, thats a very silly take.
" we can't make lots of cores, so let's belittle the innovation of those who can". Intel propaganda

"so now that we are no longer THAT company, its not good to have just one company making all the money"

Seems like amd still kicking there ass even if its price to performance or power to performance
Good luck to Intel, losing their monopoly really helps to become a better company.
So, is Intel Ryan the guy I have to thank for back in the day my Intel 320 600 GB SSDs suddenly losing all data and not being usable again until you performed a Secure Erase on them…?
And no, it also happened during normal operation, not only during power cycle situations due to a faulty capacitor as was explained back then.
a Danny Devito benchmark is a lovely concept
Informative. I have "Liquid PCIe Fabric" envy...
Looking down into the toliet, he could easily see that it was the best intel had delivered in 10 years.
Good info and glad you are explaining that the system as a whole needs to be considered.
Wait a minute... Is that a screenshot of the Gnome desktop as the background image on an unactivated Win11 install in the background?!!!
vfio builds :)
Xeon 6 seems like a compelling product to me in todays “AI” era. The make or break though is whether you can leverage Intels accelerators otherwise it loses. Based on managements comments about head node wins I think that’s starting to happen. Definitely a great time to be an enthusiast or in the industry!
Yea well too little too late AMD already made the cut for our current projects.
As described, this sounds like the new robust and future proof threshold.
Xeon 6 + PCIe-oF + SSDs, yeah ! Now we just need a board with NO legacy crap (don't use it - don't want it ).
So, I think with modest investment, and careful integration, a home-lab can have the tech power of enterprise.
Composable, Scalable, let's build it !
nice newspeak there Intel Human
Sooo they finally Got A CPU with as many cores as an AMD cpu, just with insane power draw
and that´s good why ?
For that power draw you can get 192 Cores from AMD.
That’s hardly an insane power draw? 500 Watts / 128 Cores = less than 5 Watts per core, even less than that when you consider everything that isn’t a core that’s taking some power, like those dual IO dies for example.
Compared to a 300 Watt 64 core server, that works out to … ~5 Watts per core, or more actually if you take 350 Watts. Also, aren’t AMD also selling 96 full fat non-c Core Epyc CPUs with a 500 Watt TDP, for an efficiency of … more than 5 watts per core.
Compared to desktop CPUs 24 cores at 250 Watts = ~10 watts per core, 16 cores at 150 watts = ~10 watts per core, and if you wanna disingenuously disregard the efficiency cores, 250 watts / 8 performance cores = greater than 25 watts per core.
What application would require a single threaded performance higher than AMD in a 192 core application. So maybe exclusively research facilities.
@@levygaming3133 Honestly thats comparing apples and oranges, comparing a high clock speed part to a high core count part is just being dishonest, they are meant for different things, but what I would say is that they are closing the gap between themselves and AMD, and anything that can take advantage of the accelerators built into Intel's parts it will be a no brainier to go Intel, so I dissagree with the OP and you, no it's not amazingly efficient, but it's also a massive improvement for Intel and in a lot of applications it makes Intel at least as viable as AMD and depending upon your workload one or the other will make the most sense which is super healthy.
Wish the desktop/laptop market was in such a healthy position, this is great from my prospective and give me hope that maybe next generation Intel with be highly competitive with AMD in laptop and desktop.
@@Etheoma isn’t the clock speed on these intels comparable ish to the high clock speed AMD servers? Like 4.5GHz vs 4.8GHz for AMD? Unless you meant when I was comparing it to the desktop platforms, which was absolutely apples and oranges.
@@rudysmith1552 time slicing a single stupid fast core is easy and efficient. trying to get an application to take efficient advantage of lots of cores is a WAY harder problem. I would much rather have a 64 core cpu with double the single core performance of the cores in that 128 core cpu. there are also workloads that are just really difficult to parallelize that need to be done on a single thread.
And it's today we learn that Intel is not going to make a follow-up to lunar lake.
What is the performance to power vs Turin?
Understanding the absolute basics of the lifecycle of modern chip design, at best, this chip was 18 months ago and we're just seeing the results of that design effort being taped out, packaged, tested, refined, and now actually delivered. What does Intel have cooking currently and possibly in the works...? Only time will tell.
totally not an advertisment
You just created the best sales pitch for Intel !
I'm a Blender artist and I'm buying their stock.
Perfectly encapsulates why Intel is falling behind AMD now. Not everyone in Intel has this mindset, true, but if people like Pat "AMD is on the rearview" Gelsinger, Intel Marketing "AMD Snake Oil" Team, and Ryan "Adult in the room" Tabrah keeps running Intel, even if they do make a better product than AMD, this company is still susceptible to crisis like this in the future.
The arrogance within every sentence he speaks is ridiculous.
Compared to AMD's EPIC everything is relative...
Hi Wendell. I ran AMPS CFD (with IRONCAD) on a Ryzen 9 5950X to simulate airflow. I recently purchase a 9950x to see if things a lot better (IRONCAD runs smoother now) and explore SimWorks or stick to AMPS depending on the funds I can raise. Well I wish we can connect regards.
Really proud of my guys in packaging that the 4:48 shot is possible. Cores and blocks and accelerators are cool, but they don't do a whole lot without the glue team tacking it all together. I'm very excited by some of the current research going on in MCM packaging in different foundries right now. There's gonna be some weird chips in the near future.
Did Intel pay for your trip? Do they give you free hardware to review and never ask for it back?
Because what I'm hearing is a lot of rah-rah without explaining how their business model will work?
These are paid videos (as in wendell gets paid for going there and making a video about it), that's why it has the 'Includes paid promotion' on the thumbnail when you hover your mouse over it.
There's nothing weird about it, Level1 has done a couple already, not only on intel but on Amd and nvidia as well. Recent one that comes to mind that has a similar fashion (basically showing off the selling points of the hardware maker) is the video shot for GTC24 (Showing off nvidia Blackwell).
This type of content is extremely common on the Server space and this channel has always done this type of coverage.
Mind you he is not saying this is the best CPU in the world, and he is not saying this is better than others, he is just explaining that the new work intel is doing on the server space is really interesting (which as a person from the server world i agree it is)
afaik yes, I see the "includes paid promotion" checked on this video
I managed to get to 3 and bit minutes in of this... haha I just had to stop there, love ya work man but Intel can stuff it... This is just too hard to watch.... Even if their new CPU's are incredible they are about as trustworthy as Boeing at this point...
So they create a messy standard for instruction set extensions, then clean it up (?), but stuff that's lower level than that, they drop the ball……
Like, chiplets are about economy of scale and flexibility in allocation, not just making larger chips
Smells like propaganda. I love Wendell... But if it quacks ike a duck...
HI mom!
When do you think x86 will dissolve away and operating systems will purely be able to run on x64bit with better optimization.
Is that server mounted wrong, or is the rail system just weird? It looks like it's mounted one hole too high!
Thanks for this video, I've been curious what people have been thinking for core/gpu ratios. IIRC I've seen 4-8 cores in my local systems as the latest, but I'm not sure where the sweet spot is as I can see plenty of workloads avoiding the overheads of shifting data to the GPU if there's CPU available (and avoiding the cost of GPUs with big amounts of VRAM...)
I think you should look into wire-less laviler mic's. I am thinking something like Hollyland Lark M2 or similar. The look super easy to use. Some streamers use them for IRL streaming. The perform surprisingly well in loud environments. The might be others that dos it even better 🤷♂. But wire-less with a magnet mount and multiple mics, looks to me like something you could benefit a lot from.
At the speed everything around the CPU improved, like PCIe, RAM, storage i get it why they want to look confident. But don't be surprised by the speed at which the kids are running and how fast they will be when they "grow up".
PCIe and DRAM on Gen 7 are publicly specified and available for chip makes. M.2 SSD's are quite often limited by the amount of PCIe lanes. Thats why Epic put so many into them, to feed the cores.
But the most important thing will be efficiency. If they manage to get a lead there all of AI, media streming, etc will jump on, as power is the main resource they are burning.
😮 The amount of beautiful gold silicon on that chip incredible. mind blown
If that interview is indicative of the corporate culture that's festering at Intel, their decisions over the last few years make a lot more sense. Talking about "Adult in the Room" is just inappropriate arrogance.
after 21 minutes watching, you just told me intel realizes that memory bandwidth, storage bandwidth, PciE bandwidth AND IO bandwidth also matter in the eco system?
Werent they at 64 cores 5 years ago?
im confused.
This is the god-tier video HUB will never make
So pardon this layman question: in the future when these CPUs and platforms will be "obsolete" for data centers and large mainframes or whatever, and start getting dumped onto ebay for cheap like with LGA20xx chips, will there be a reason to pick them up for consumer use? Or are they so specialized and high end that they're outside of what most consumers will ever need them for.
or they have suicide vendor lock fuses "for securitah" so there is no trickledown onto the used market
It would be nice but the gap between enterprise hardware and home lab is growing. Maybe you could buy it but do you want a couple thousand watt rack chassis with super load high rpm fans in your house?
Nice rack
Adults eating all the glueeee
First time in 5 years someone said something nice about intel and not even xmas :)
Still garbage.. this reeks of paid promotion
Because it is but there's a good bit of information in it and if your evaluation comes to the same result as ours did we ended up going AMD fur the current round of updates/upgrades.
Will server manufacturers fit brushless motors to there fans in the next iteration of carrot chasing. The human ear is 3-4 hundred thousand times as sensitive as the eye & should be appreciated accordingly. Bosch can do it in their washing machines why not server machines, with aero dynamics built into frames. Stop the Noise!
The worst part is a lot of rackable equipment with fans is always configured by default to have them run at their maximum possible speed which is in the 9000+rpm and makes this screaming from hell noise. When 99% of the time they don't need to be operating anywhere near that level of cooling at all. If its any kind of demo system or network equipment sometimes they don't even have any options to turn that sht down at all...

Best Xeon in 10 years - yup. But I'll be surprised if the prices match competitor Turin systems. We basically buy exclusively Dell servers and I have a few 96 core EPYC 9004 in use - but we haven't bought an Intel system in about 5 years other than a recent purchase of some low-end R360s with Xeon E-2468 (because Dell doesn't offer a Siena option, and I don't want to be buying Milan systems at this point - and besides, those are overlkill for some of the low-end systems we need).
