News Intel Xeon W-3595X 60-core CPU overclocked to 5.80 GHz — 1 GHz over the default 4.8 GHz boost clock

Intel's Xeon W-3595X, 'Sapphire Rapids Refresh,' seems to have a better overclocking potential than the predecessor, but at what power?

Yes, bring back RIP Jay and RIP GN series!

I've been really curious about overclocking on this series. That's a pretty impressive result, even if it wasn't stressed properly under all-core load. I'm eying the w5-2565X (18-core, 3.2Ghz base) in particular since I don't need that many cores and would rather have a higher operating frequency. Cost is also within budget, I'd upgrade used later down the road if needed. Haven't been able to find any reports on how the w5-2565X overclocks.

My i9-10920X has been overclocked since day 1 to 4.8Ghz all-core (stock 3.5GHz) and has been a champ for stability. HEDT / Workstation chips can take a mighty overclock. However, it's almost 5 years old and struggles compared to the latest offerings. The increased IPC on a newer platform would be appreciated.

Pointless just bragging rights. Your average user don't need faster CPUs, we ned energy efficient, secure and smarter working CPUs with bloated software not being a limiting force. I can't honestly say I am more productive now with W11+16 cores+64GB+1TB NVMes, than I was back in W7-+4 cores+8GB+256GB SSD on my daily driver.

I agree its pointless to talk about single core frequency on a chip like this, but there are workloads that will eat an unlimited amount of CPU resources for hours or days. Cutting those run times can be worth a lot. Imagine a $75/hr data scientist that sets up an experiment and then takes the rest of the week "off" while they wait on a result.

Bad example, you wouldn't use a workstation even overclocked like this but a cluster to number crunch the result and benefit from the cpu power/watt/£ equation and I bet the scientist has better things to do while waiting.
