THANK YOU AMD FOR FORCING ORACLE TO DESIGN AND RELEASE THESE PARTS FROM SCRATCH IN APPROXIMATELY 90 DAYS!

Oh wait.

[chuckula]

I've got an idea: Intel shouldn't release anything new in the server space for 10 years. Then in 2027 we can be all shocked & amazed when their 2027...

I don't see what the big deal is. It's like saying that AMD is stupid because they have proprietary drivers that they use on Windows systems but have...

Good work in developing a fully-open sourced system that actually optimizes for modern CPU hardware.

It's amusing how people run obsolete...

Interesting review. Could you also turn on the NUMA interleaving policy for the Xeon system? It only requires 2 NUMA nodes due to Intel's superior architecture...

[chuckula]

Thank you Intel for contributing a solid cross-platform distro to the community. Once again showing that if it weren't for Intel's open-source Linux...

[chuckula]

Thanks for the reviews. Yet again we see that a new microarchitecture is best served by newer distros and that an old version of Ubuntu isn't what you...

[chuckula]

Trolling yes. Dumb: Absolutely not. There's a strong contingent of fanboys (and you may be one of them) who would scream at the top of their lungs that...

[chuckula]

Look you should have tested with an Nvidia GPU to show Threadripper in the best light!

It's a well-known fact that AMD regularly accepts...

[chuckula]

Near the end the Sci-Kit benchmark has shown radically different performance levels based on the distro you are using as Phoronix showed in its own testing:...

[chuckula]

You obviously didn't read the review then where it loses in at least one of the NAS parallel computationally intensive tests [including losing by practically...

[chuckula]

So does this mean that it takes a silicon fix to get around the bug or will it be possible to fix via microcode?

[chuckula]

Wonderful. You are living in your mom's basement and don't have a use for an HPC part. Guess what: Intel is running more Xeon Phis in supercomputers *right...

[chuckula]

Considering there are plenty of supercomputers out there already running the socketed Xeon Phi, it was probably just an issue of very little demand for...

[chuckula]

Thanks for running these benchmarks and for using Clear Linux, which has much better open-source tuning for newer chips than older versions of Ubuntu....
