Launched 7 February 2020, this multithreaded gargantuan comes with whopping 64 core and 128 thread and costs $3990 to be exact. This CPU has core clock of 2.9GHz and has max boost clock of 4.3GHz which is high for CPU with huge amount of cores and has 280W TDP which would shows how efficient this CPU is. The single core performance is not too mind boggling but the multi core performance blows all other single socket CPU in existence. Safe to say, this CPU poses incredible value for content creator, data center and regular server users alike for amount of multithreaded performance you get at that price point. [Feb '20ColdSpy]
