Intel’s Skylake-EP Xeon E5 2699 v5 Monster Flagship With 32 Cores / 64 Threads Gets Performance Leaked
Geekbench performance of a monster chip from Intel has leaked out (thanks for the tip, Shaun Fosmark). While the exact nomenclature of the chip is not known, it appears to be a Skylake-EP Xeon part that was sent to the Google Compute Engine team for initial prototyping. This is consistent with the news we have been hearing about Google Compute Engine now offering extended core counts to clients of their service.

Intel’s massive Skylake Purley flagship, the Xeon E5 2699 v5, spotted in Geekbench database

The chip manages to score an outstanding 49,647 points for all-core score and 3526 points on the single core score. Usually these Xeon chips don’t fare as well in the single core department but this particular CPU is something special and for good measure as well (as you will read later in the article). This score is probably one of the highest all-core scores (if not the highest) on Geekbench for a single socket, single package CPU and showcase very impressive performance numbers.

only for new socket 2066...28c

Wish it did not cost over 3 Grand.

 
That thing costs an arm and a leg. I don't think so. I want to keep both my kidneys.

Hopefully that means the older 12-22 core cpus will see a bit better used pricing on ebay.

Sometimes on ebay could catch great deal, but only if clocks are little higher than they could be used and for games.
I like Ryzen performance but I'm more happy with this kind of socket... off course and better performance than now.
