And here we go a firm answear to AMD EPYC
Also crazy on TDP

 

[Metal Messiah.]

Isn't Intel expected to utilize the LGA 4189 socket for Cooper Lake, also offering compatibility with both Cooper Lake and the company's future Ice Lake processors ??

This will reveal my ignorance, but how does one cool a 400W processor? I'm thinking that some sort of massive copper block with large volumes of refrigerated water might just do it. I can't imagine any sort of air cooling doing the job.

Well, if you can cool a 2-slot 275 W GPU with a single blower, then attaching a taller heatsink via a vapor chamber might work.

I've long thought it'd be cool if they used a vapor chamber as the actual heatspreader, integrated into the packaging.

The other thing to consider is that water cooling is becoming more common, in high-performance servers. And consider that water cooling a GPU dissipating 400 W is nothing new or particularly hard.

Intel says the new processors will arrive in the first half of 2020.

Wow. Talk about FUD - this announcement is little more than a transparent ploy to undermine Rome!

 

[hannibal]

Heh! AMD in near having its upgrade to Rome at that time
Well, competition is good!

only be interested in these if i was sure they had baked in fixes and i wont lose performance later on.
