I guess they're really just binned and rebadged 8700Ks which would explain why older launch 8700Ks seem to clock better on average than the newer batches.
The thing to keep in mind with soldering is that liquid metal delidded CPUs typically run a few degrees cooler than soldered ones.

Also in Intel news, Optane DIMMs have arrived in a limited basis, branded "Optane DC Persistent Memory". Up to 512gb/module with ECC, only being shipped to "select partners" this year, with wide availability next year (likely with Cascade Lake?)

There's a requirement for some server environments that even if the CPU hits something like a machine check, the memory is preserved. Although, I never really got an explanation for what happens after that.

Intel isn't exactly new to this game and I would expect there to be a background routine that overwrites on free asynchronously.

Nobody is "new to this game". Every big corporation out there is perfectly capable of employing strong security-minded people. However, as the history shows us, they don't. Or they do, but they pay them to shut up (no idea, just guessing). Why? Because they don't care. Nobody gives a flying gently caress about anything until a vulnerability is found and there's bad press about it. At which point, in my opinion, is too late. They only care about the next quarter and the bonus that follows if targets are met. Everything else is irrelevant. Microsoft only started taking security seriously when the very existence of the company was in danger.

But hey, I can't wait to use Optane DIMMs too. To have persistent memory at RAM speeds ... yeah, sign me up.

Wouldn't it suck in a desktop system, because you'd be giving up a memory channel / dual or quad channel for storage that is < ram speed?

Yeah, this. Last I looked Samsung was by a very wide margin the biggest NAND flash manufacturer, and Intel-Micron Flash Technologies was on the small side.

Also mentioned offhandedly - the new HEDT (X299 chipset) and "Coffee Lake-S," thought to be the eight-core CPUs, are supposedly 'end of the year' parts.

probably two highly binned 14 core HEDT CFL-X (?) dies connected via EMIB and cooled with custom water cooler. i9-7980XE taken to the next level, pointless but impressive numbers regardless. If this is a 14nm++ CPU running at 5 GHz on all cores it pulls at least 800-1000W under load.

The i7-8086K is indeed a "limited edition" (50000 will be made, 8086 of them given away through anniversary sweepstakes). Various OC vendors ordered batches of them for delidding so expect the same TIM. They're really factory binned and rebadged 8700Ks.

True, though it doesn't matter as nearly all of them will end up as free review samples in the benchmarking machines of tech youtubers and review sites.

Cascade Lake-X (LGA3647?), 16-Phase VRM with 6 fans, 1600W PSU, i bet the VRM mosfets have a higher dissipation loss than a overclocked 8700K CPU

Im pretty sure its a monolithic die. The big-core XCC Skylake SP is already 28 cores. King-daddy at the moment is the Platinum 8180M: 28 cores, 56 threads, 2.5 base and 3.8 boost, 205w TDP.

Intel already brought the HCC dies to HEDT with the 7980XE... sounds like they are going all in with HEDT by bringing XCC down too. Although I have to imagine this is for marketing/bragging way more than actually moving units. Having to run the coolant through a water cooler is probably past the edge of realistic.

e: thats if there are any plans to actually bring the 28 core HEDT to retail in the first place. Could just be a one off goof for all i know.

e2: Anandtech disagrees me so i would like to point out again that i dont know poo poo:

AT posted:

Personally, I feel this new processor is not a higher binned Platinum 8180. Going up from 2.8 GHz base / 3.5 GHz turbo to 5.0 GHz all-core frequency is a big step, assuming the 5.0 GHz value was not an overclock. I would fully expect that this is the point where Intel starts introducing EMIB to CPUs.

If you take away one thing from the whole 1180 launch speculation (node, launch, etc) it should be that the tech media is just making educated guesses like the rest of us. Until they get hands on hardware or briefed by Intel it's all just speculation.

I don't see any reason to assume EMIB is in play without some evidence. Occam's Razor says it's probably the same 28CU chip they already have. People tend to underestimate the speed of high-core-count chips, I bet even at 28C most chips are easily capable of 4.4+ GHz all-core if not higher. There's how many plusses on the end of the node name, now?

I think 5.0 is almost certainly an overclock, that's not Intel's MO and you'd need sub-ambient cooling without a delid. You can't ship a chip like that to consumers.

Anandtech has more info on the setup. It is a 8180 platinum ($10500) cooled by a water chiller with 1800W cooling power.
The PSU is rated for 1600W and they put a lowly RX580 in the 5GHz machine (all others ran 2x1080tis) so based on the components used it is entirely possible that it consumes 1.5kW under full CPU load.

I'd err on the side of they're probably 5~ of them in existence and intel only provided them for interviews with press. I can also gather these boards were probably built without any validation\testing with a CPU so this was the first time they POST'ed outside the factory.

But you know the rumor mill: if there is a chance that intel was salty about AMDs 32 core we'll year about it very, very soon.
