Remember Computex?
"Intel may be feeling the heat. Intel debuted an unnamed Threadripper competitor in June with 28 cores in a demonstration that used a PC connected to a hidden 68-pound water chiller meant for large home aquariums to cool the chip. Intel said its presenter accidentally forgot to mention that the system was boosted above its normal speed. And while AMD’s second gen Threadripper is compatible with the same standard PC equipment as last year’s models, Intel’s new super-fast chip runs only in a high-end socket called LGA 3647 that is reserved for server computers and very high-end workstations."
