max1024 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 For anyone not a secret is that there is now a shortage of Intel processors of the 10th series from Socket2066. I am interested in the 18-core model 10980XE, but it is nowhere in the US (I plan to purchase in this region). Maybe someone know where to buy ?, although I track information on special sites for availability, but nowhere is there any deadline. Perhaps someone knows those who work or relate to Intel directly and make the situation worse. De jure there was a paper announcement, de facto there was nothing else, and almost 2 months have passed. https://www.gearinstock.com/intel-core-i9-10980xe-processor-pre-order-in-stock-availability-tracker/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max1024 Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 But seriously? What happens and when will it end? But there are still rumors about an allegedly 22-core processor on 2066 socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are still rumors about an allegedly 22-core processor on 2066 socket. 22 core cpu wouldn't pull any cpus from the stock of 18c and below. It uses a different die so it'd pull from dies currently only used on lga 3467 as it would have to come out of the 28 core die. As far as the shortage, the best way to get cpus is inside deals. HFT is buying up all of the lga 2066 cpus they can because the alternative to them is to run a bunch of servers with 9900ks, HFT needs the fastest cores they can get and will pay whatever it takes to get them.

There's stock, they just sell 100% of what they make, I've seen trays of 10980xe's, it's just not profitable to sell cpus to pleb consumers when you can sell to HFT who buy by the tray.

Hyperhorn Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 High frequency traders (if interested into the subject matter you might have a look into Flash Boys by Michael Lewis); although I'm a bit surprised they would choose i9-10980XEs. i9-9990XE or i9-9900K(S) might be superior depending on the use case. FPGAs are pretty popular now, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPGAs are pretty popular now, too. Well depends on how big a trader they are, more cores means less servers. Bigger the trader with more money they can afford more servers with less cores per box. They'll use cascade lake over Skylake refresh because the hardware mitigations for meltdown are way faster than software They do also use fpgas, just depends on the customer. I saw the trays of cpus at a company that builds oc servers for hft so they had all kinds. Edited January 24, 2020 by yosarianilives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max1024 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 I confess I am surprised by the above. A little shocked The question remains when will they get enough, or what to do before this happens? Also, we are interested in figures on the production output of this processor model, say for a week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I wouldn't know, but I can say that intel makes way more cpus than AMD and still is at 100% sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldwove Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 So, particularly talking about this screenshot: CPUID wise, for skylake-X and cascadelake-X bits [6:3] don't matter as they are the same for the entire product block (0050), all that matters is what is displayed, particularly the cpuid stepping which goes as follows: 650: Skylake A0/A1 651: Skylake A2 652: Skylake B0 / L0 653: Skylake OEM mystery 654: Skylake Retail 655: Cascade Lake ES / QS 656: Cascade Lake ES / QS 657: Cascade Lake Retail Seeing as that screenie is a 651, either originally it was of a skylake A2 CPU or intel for some reason decided to spin a new die just for the 22 core cascade lake chip and on top of that give it a brand new CPUID with a different family ID which is super unlikely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
