Intel's Ice Lake Xeon Processor Details Leaked: LGA 4189, 8-Channel Memory
The Power Stamp Alliance (PSA) has posted some details on Intel's upcoming high-performance, 10 nm architecture. Code-named Ice Lake, the Xeon parts of this design will apparently usher in yet another new socket (socket LGA 4189, compared to the socket LGA 3647 solution for Kaby lake and upcoming Cascade Lake designs). TDP is being shown as increased with Intel's Ice Lake designs, with an "up to" 230 W TDp - more than the Skylake or Cascade Lake-based platforms, which just screams at higher core counts (and other features such as OmniPath or on-package FPGAs).
Digging a little deeper into the documentation released by the PSA shows Intel's Ice Lake natively supporting 8-channel memory as well, which makes sense, considering the growing needs in both available memory capacity, and actual throughput, that just keeps rising. More than an interesting, unexpected development, it's a sign of the times.

Still, in that market, the cost of a motherboard is peanuts anyway (some high-end desktop motherboards can be more expensive than a server one, while the CPU is signitifcantly more expensive).
Victim blaming is why AMD is in the position they are now. Intel dindunuffin!
If they do everything ethically or honest with consumers = looks bad compared to competitor. If they do even a fraction of the same tactics as the others = bad AMD. There's no winning with a rigged market and idiots.
What AMD did wrong was to believe that because they had a better product, Intel would simply lay down and die. When that didn't happen, AMD had no contingency plan. TDP really had nothing to do with it. Still, I'm not going to fault AMD for switching tactics simply because there's no stadard way to measure TDP anyway.
However, I remember AMD using Blender.
And how is that a rebuttal to controlling a prominent synthetic bench to completely defraud consumers?
You Intel shills really have to work on your arguments. They're not even passable as trolling.
