Intel fanboys forgot AMD Turin with 192 cores? That is always the case, Intel concentrated for quarter year profits instead of keeping R&D on good shape. Now better to concentrate selling factories to someones that need “old school” stuff. Game over. There could be some ligth if they could boost soon out 256 c, which is very unlikely. AMD will do it soon anyway, most likely minor change to just add 20 % more cores. But fanboys are fanboys and always forgotting the truth.

@emerth: I see 0.5TB/s in stream on 128 cores while NVLD seems to go to 0.6 TB/s — so I’d agree with “closing” here.

What is up with that lscpu output for the SNC3 configuration? It reports:

Node 0: 43 threads
Node 1: 43 threads
Node 2: 73 threads
Node 3: 86 threads
Node 4: 86 threads
Node 5: 84 threads

And then threads 256-352 are completely unaccounted.

On the plus Epyc now has some competition coming. The one big pain point will be software licensing where it’s licensed per Core.

We all know Turin is coming. At least AMD now needs to push really hard instead of just coasting because Intel’s been so far behind. Let Intel have its weeks at the top.

I need Intel to go up so I can give Grandma her retirement back…
