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

I would love a 4P with those CPUs  88 cores 176 threads.  I would rack up some badges BOINC WCG

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...

Maybe a 2P for me and I will have your back over on WCG.
I would say year after next because I did just get that T630 with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 2.4GHz,35M Cache,9.60GT/s QPI,Turbo,HT,14C/28T
And this "The question remains if Intel can ever match AMD’s claim of a 40 percent improvement gain with Zen." Will Never Happen.

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.
 

This is the direction we're headed by just stacking more cores on top. Yay for us.

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.

Nice New Server Processors, my MS SQL Server would love to have one or two of these new Super Processors.

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 EVGA Forum Community is a great place to be.
