According to several sources, all of which cite ChipHell, Intel is working on a 5 GHZ 22 core (44 threads with hyperthreading) CPU for LGA 2066 platform with a TDP of 380W and 30.25MB of L3 cache. No official details or announcements have been made so far, so it is unknown yet if the CPU is real.

380 watts. It's a joke.

Their saltyness have made them blind🤣🤣🤣🤣

Impressive numbers
 
Going to take a massive heatsink & water to Cool that 380W

To me the most interesting part is they are taking an XCC chip and cramming it on to LGA2066, it looks like it will be similar to a Cooper Lake version of a Xeon Gold 6238:

That Xeon only has a 140W TDP, 3.7 ghz boost clock, 2.8 ghz all core normal load, 2.1 ghz all core AVX512 load.  Going to take some serious power to get those clocks up.

Here's a discussion of the W-3175X's power draw, with its stock 4.3ghz boost clock, 28 Cores and 255W TDP:

22 cores would be terrible at 14nm. Better for Intel to wait until 10nm is available as to lower the TDP.

I was thinking the same but let them believe everything is good

It's pretty obvious that they are working with what they have and what they can produce.
