    My friend's dad runs a metal recycling factory, and when a nearby HP facility closed down back in 2016, they dumped all of their server CPUs and RAM to the recycling factory. We had access to hundreds of Haswell & Broadwell Xeon E3 & E5 CPUs FOR FREE. Many of them were engineering samples. (Some of those broadwell-e xeon models had never been released by Intel). We felt like the luckiest nerds on the planet. I've been running a 22c 44t Xeon with 128gb DDR4 RDIMM RAM ever since.

    9:20 Level of Detail is usually calculated by CPUs in a sequential manner, which is why games like Flight Simulator perform so terribly. If it didn't need to do that, it could theoretically run amazing.
    I think there's ways or theories on how to parallelize it (which would theoretically make framerates freaking skyrocket for most games), but I don't think anyone has properly done it yet.

    This (and the recent video about 7980X) is very interesting to me since these could be very well used for some engineering and scientific computing. The problem is that with my experience, I find it hard to precisely estimate the horsepower per dollar value vs 5950X or 3960X. I know that this is about getting performance-varying ES or QS, but I'd love to see some benchmarks (also nongaming), and also some estimate costs of the entire system assuming that I don't have any Xeon-compatible parts around.

    IIRC. on high core count CPUs, FPS & frame times are most likely a memory issue if this CPU uses more than 1 NUMA node or it's an issue of core affinity. so either changing memory settings or manually setting applications to only run on 1 memory node or only scale to a couple of the cores should solve it.

      Yeah, early LGA2011 boards don't have Intel ME firmware v8 which is required for v2 Xeons (Ivy Bridge-EP). Intel didn't allow end users to update old boards from ME firmware v7 to v8.
      Sometimes it can be quite hard to find which boards support v2 Xeons and which don't.
      I have a Lenovo ThinkStation S30 (type 0606) which doesn't support v2 but at least they tell what types support v2 Xeons and which don't (0568, 0569, 0606 are Sandy only while 4351 and 4352 support Ivy). Xeon v2 supported ThinkStation S30's are also quite easy to recognize from pictures because they have front USB 3.0 ports while the older ones don't.
      Some systems like HP Z420 Workstation don't have any visible differences so you have to check the ME firmware version in bios

      ​@@flyingbanana2436 Have you researched the issue further or have any firsthand experience with which to corroborate that statement or are you basing that statement entirely on one video you saw on CZcams? I have firsthand experience from jobs in multiple PC repair shops, and I can tell you that over the past 25 years, I have seen ESD caused by careless techs damage CPUs, RAM modules, and HDDs. I've personally had two Synology NASs become inoperable due to ESD (they wouldn't even POST), each from a single discharge caused by normally walking about four to six feet across a carpeted room in the winter and then touching the NAS' metal case. I can say with absolute certainty that it is *NOT* very hard to damage components with ESD.

    • @nomore6167
      @nomore6167 Před 2 lety

      @@flyingbanana2436 I just watched the video to which I assume you referred (the URL is below for anyone interested), and all I have to say is... "Are you kidding me?!?" Do you actually think that video proved anything? They tested two RAM modules only, nothing else. One module catastrophically failed (no POST after ESD) and the other did not. It's kind of hard to claim "It's very hard to damage components [with ESD]" when the video showed a 50% failure rate. Additionally, their "test" was putting the RAM module into a PC and seeing if it POSTed. Any tech with a functioning brain will tell you that's not a real test. RAM modules typically do not fail catastrophically. The most common failures are when a RAM module appears to operate normally (the computer POSTs, boots, and appears to work), but some of the bits are invalid, resulting in different data being read or written. That's why RAM testing tools exist -- to test for bit-level errors.
      Here are the key points to take away from that video:
      1. Linus doesn't like getting zapped with ESD.
      2. Electroboom appears to take pleasure in zapping Linus with ESD.
      3. Of the two RAM modules zapped with ESD, one failed catastrophically and the other did not.
      4. Linus apparently doesn't know how to test RAM.
      5. No other components were tested, so the effect of ESD on other components was never addressed.
      For those interested, the video in question is "Can static KILL your PC? (ft. Electroboom)" at the following URL:
