Intel's taking a page from AMD and trying to squeeze out more CPU performance in its new Xeon E5-2699A v4 chip.     Link

So, what's next? Are they going to release a 30 core processor, just keep on stacking more cores on top of each other? Meanwhile, mankind hasn't even able to develop programs that can use a quad core "efficiently" enough, for the consumer level. Arguable, but it's true. It's almost becoming a joke the way they're releasing these CPUs. Why can't they have a core able to do 4 jobs at once, or 8 jobs at "ludicrous" speed? They have "hyper-threading", but why can't they have it where each core does "more than hyper-threading"? Seriously... WTH. Again, lets' just stack more cores on top and make the consumers think they got something big...

Wondering if (or when) someone will develop something that will take any active running application and divvy out the work to multiple cores... kind of a 'middle man' directing traffic between the application and the CPU so it runs more efficiently and utilizes all available resources, taking away the necessity of relying on the application author(s) to optimize their work for multi core environments.

I agree it's a bit ridiculous how they have these super processors yet hardly any software is designed to even use the modern 4/8 C/T... I also can't stand how Intel keeps putting out processors with only 10% Improvements over the equal previous gen model. It seems like such a waste of resources and like was mentioned we will probably never see another claim of 40% gain over previous gen like AMD is stating. When we get down to the atomic level of processing (already there) some kind of new technology with a whole different deisgn will have to be created. Then just think how much crap it will be for everything to be transfered over to work on the new "Plasma Chips" or w/e the hell will be next. It looks like we are either heading for a new revolution of computing or a long drawn out stale mate where nothing new will be made untill a new form of technology becomes the norm.

These super processors are not for Desktop Computers or Desktop Users.
These super processors for Server Class Computers and Server Class Users. They are Server Processors.
What you are saying has Zero Bearing for what this Super Processor as you call them are even going to be used for.
They are not for you to spend Well over $5000 Per CPU for you to play games on your $400.00 Motherboard.
MS SQL Server would love to have one or two of these new super processors.

So, what you're saying is that the article was aimed at "corporations" that actually need a server or computer that has 22-cores on it? Got it. We can all move on then; EVGA is pretty much aimed for consumer level, not corporations.

The hardware is much easier to reverse engineer.

The EVGA Forum Community is not only all about Gaming. This is the "Computer Industry News" Section after all.

Thanks for clarifying that. Let us know if you know anybody here that is looking for "ludicrous speed" processors that feature 22-cores that is meant to handle thousands of jobs at once, and we'll spread on the word. Meanwhile, I will look for information on processors that are suitable for consumers. Hopefully it doesn't have to do with advertisements that are debuting new released items.

Stalinx, I really don't understand why you choose to have that mentality.  It's for commercial application, there are several fields that can use this.  Just like there are several commercial uses for that NVIDIA DGX SaturnV you posted in the Industry News forum.  There are uses for this type of hardware regardless whether you "believe" it or not.

Here I am, spread the word!!! I have 300 cores in my house. Put 500 cores on a chip, make it run at 2.4ghz or over and do it for 1000$ I will buy 6 of them right now.
3000 cores OH my. I could put 10,000 cores to work 100% load 24/7

bcavnaugh, it's ok to shed light on the types of businesses who would use this type of hardware if someone doesn't understand how it fits.
 
Several threads in the Computer Industry News forum don't apply to regular consumers - that's not the point.  The point is to introduce Computer Industry News and that's exactly what Xray and others have done in this forum (regardless of the type of user it's for).

Personally, I think it will be interesting to see how far Intel can push it.

Some people do not understand what we do with BOINC, Folding and other data crunching.
I do not have a business, but I could put as many cores to work that they give me, leave me wanting more.

What! I sorry but why are you telling me this. Should you not be telling stalinx20 this and not me.

Of course Computer Industry News is for all news related to computers. I think the fact I pointed out that this processor was aimed for enterprise/server level made you assume that I was claiming that everybody on evga forums "is a consumer". I never said that. I did quote that "EVGA is aimed pretty much for consumer level customers"; they are. Does that make me claim that "everybody is a consumer based customer"? No. You're claiming that to be my point. Did I complain that Intel continues to stack more cores on top, claiming they have a "better" Processor than the one before? You bet I did. My only point is that they are not focusing on individual cores and what they're capable of doing. They are not improving the core structure, and the amount of workload each core is capable of doing before it tanks, and if they can actually make the cores in their inner self "do more". That is what I was grasping, I'm not really sure what you were going on about how the computer industry news isn't just meant for gamers. You made that claim.

stalinx20, Please Leave It Alone and Please stop attacking me.

Wasn't ever attacking you, simply clarifying to remove any confusion. See, that's the thing with people who build computers, they all take things waaaay too seriously. Go live a little bcavnaugh, and have a good day.
 

 
@Stalinx20,
 
Please leave it alone, and move on now. No more of this back, and forth. Thanks.
 
 
 
@BCavnaugh,
 
You too. Thanks.
