That's almost 3x standard 100W Classic light bulbs with wolfram filament heated to incandescent over 3000K Emitting a lot of light.

Wonderful piece for my HTPC. Does it have iGPU? As, currently I'm running on APU Ryzen 2400G.

Benchmarks? Have you got samples already?

Haven't heard if will be sampled for the 7H12 or not. It might not be the case since it sounds like it might mostly be bundled with servers due to the cooling requirements... Not sure the Rome reference server platform can handle 280 Watt.

Good timing. Michael can heat the basement this winter while playing Crysis.

Wow so for dual AMD 7H12 server, you'd need 2x280 = 560 watts of cooling capacity ! Only web host I know water cooling cpus is OVH on some of their gaming servers right now

In sofpipe, through the VGA output of the board :-)

It's OK. Intel has that beat already. Obviously it's Intel "TDP" which is specified at base clocks

Must be its TDP when running AVX-512 instructions on all 56 cores at full-load.
