![]() upgrade will cost $5000 (CPU+DDR+MB.) and what incremental performance do I get for that? nuts!Ģ. The incremental value with this upgrade is just not there. go with the low/under powered 24xx series - and pay almost $100 per core on a "low-end" WS ASUS Sage ACE for $800 (really! $800 for an entry level WS MB) => I fail to see the value proposition in this upgrade from my current x299 with an 18 core CPU. So in other words, we have the following choices if we want to upgrade from x299 in 2023:ġ. It's not true HEDT, but it is up there in terms of cores/threads running at full performance. That's where the affordable HEDT-ish performance is today, in my opinion. If you don't need the additional RAM and IO lanes, give serious thought to Ryzen 7950X as a mini-Threadripper. ![]() The rumours seem to be saying that non-pro Threadripper 7000 is coming later this year. This could easily change if/when AMD choose to re-enter the HEDT market as well, and re-ignite the old competition between non-pro Threadripper and non-pro Xeon (the Core-X CPUs were cut down versions of the Xeon pro workstation CPUs). ![]() Xeon w2400 series are essentially the replacement for the old HEDT Core-X CPUs (but also the lower half of their pro-WS offering), while Xeon w3400 series are a higher tier and very much a direct successor to previous upper end pro-WS Xeon CPUs. it looks to me like W790 is positioned a bit higher (more expensive) than the old HEDT enthusiast level X299. The old HEDT tier doesn't seem to be making a full comeback, as the pro-WS tier was always above it. I could be wrong, but what I'm seeing from Intel right now is 2 pro workstation tiers and them trying to market that as also-HEDT. ![]()
