Wow, 96 cores in a workstation. I'd like to see what people are doing who need such a beast.

The lines are getting blurry.

Playing solitaire.

Playing solitaire.

Yeah but that's wasteful because it's really hard to scale solitaire beyond 52 threads.

5 or 6 database servers, a dozen VMs, plus heavy data or ML processes, using non-SMT to not even care about the next zero-day side-channel

The thing is, it's a workstation processor/platform, so I wouldn't think things like database servers would tend to factor into the picture.

I'm thinking it's probably people doing compute-intensive processing on really big datasets that wouldn't fit in GPU memory.

I could imagine someone working on compiler development would appreciate the ability to do lightening-fast incremental builds and then run through thousands of regression test cases, but it's a lot of money to spend on a system for software development.

It could also be really good for running EDA simulations, but they might prefer to go one step further and use a 2-CPU Genoa server for that.

Looking forward for Dells fake press release, showing a fake Precision workstation with this chip and then have a permanent “coming soon” sticker.

Meanwhile, their reps will gladly shove a Xeon powered Precision workstation down your throat.

Intel bribe moneis hard at work.

I'd suggest waiting until AMD formally launches these CPUs, before criticizing Dell for not shipping them.

BTW, Dell takes their time even to start shipping Intel CPUs. My team at work ordered some Precision desktop machines, earlier this year. I think it was March, but it could've been April. Anyway, we asked if we could get them with Raptor Lake CPUs, but they said "not yet" and wouldn't give us an ETA for when they would. A couple months later, they finally added Raptor Lake as an option, but it was too late for us.

Now, it could be that they were dragging their feet because they had lots of Alder Lake CPUs in their inventory, or maybe Intel gave them a really sweet deal on them and they had to move that inventory first. However, it's not the first time I've noticed a substantial lag between a new CPU launching and when Dell starts offering it in their Precision machines. So, even if Dell doesn't have ThreadRipper 7k models available on launch day, that could just be down to Dell's normal lag.

Sorry my friend, but this is not new from Dell.

They have done this over and over, since Ryzen launched and i have yet to see one Dell Optiplex or Precision outside of a press release with an AMD cpu.

Here's one that you can order, today:

Dell Precision Desktop 7865 Tower Workstation | Dell USA

Shop the Dell Precision Tower Workstation (7865) featuring Precision optimizer & powerful CPU with AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro or see all Precision Workstations at Dell.com.

www.dell.com

I will point out that, when I selected all Precision and Optiplex models, this was the only one available with an AMD CPU. So, it's certainly not as if they have a wealth of AMD options, but it's more than zero.

I would be surprised if that "add to cart" button really works.
