    The test data on article is about server setup which is the right use case for this change.

    Moreover the L3 cache on CPU is what makes significant difference, IMO.

    If that is true, not sure how much improvement consumer-grade desktop will see, given that most consumer-grade CPU will not have that much L3 cache on chip.

      AMD has been putting a lot of L3 cache on their consumer CPUs. The 5800X3D has 96mb of L3 cache.

        Yes, that’s true. Only if Intel follows the same in future.

        On a separate note, 5800X3D seems to be most efficient (throughput/watt) consumer grade CPU out there right now.

          That’s definitely a CPU for server (unless you are a general consumer with lots of $ 🙂 ).

            There definitely are vendors ignoring common sense and putting socket SP5 on desktop boards.

            No argument about the price, I think list on these is something like $13k USD.

        Man looking at my old 5960x with it’s 20mb of cache from 2014, and Intel’s current top consumer chip with 36mb.

        Crazy to think Intel were ‘ahead of the curve’ so long ago, those x99 chips are still relevant compared to some AM4 chips.
