I wonder, who is chasing who? AMD announces 32 Core than Intel is 28?
AMD Reveals Threadripper 2 : Up to 32 Cores, 250W, X399 Refresh
Definitely intel chasing AMD now!
AMD 32 cores air cooled at the show v. Intel 28 cores phased change.
AMD 7nm chips, and Intel still hasn't gotten their 10nm down pat yet
But I am still an Intel fanboy
Although the next machine in the far flung future I build, might just have an AMD CPU-more PCIe lanes and all models overclockable(just not as high).
Intel's 28-Core 5GHz Processor And Test System Breaks Cover (Updated)
Intel's new 28-core processor is likely similar to the Xeon Platinum 8180. This processor lands with a $10,000 MSRP for data center users, and given its target market, it doesn't come with an unlocked multiplier. Releasing an enterprise model with an unlocked multiplier to the general market is a tricky proposition for Intel, as data center and high performance computing users will jump on the unlocked models, thus plundering sales of high-margin Xeon models. As such, we can expect Intel will charge a hefty premium for its new 28-core models and employ some type of defeaturing, such as removing AVX-512, ECC, and multi-socket support to discourage the practice.
