4th Gen Intel Xeon W9-3495X – It’s a monster

Handbrake H.264

Handbrake throws up a curious result in our H.264 conversion test where the overclocked Xeons are followed by the desktop CPUs, and then we see the Xeons on Auto further down the chart.

Handbrake H.265

Handbrake H.265 conversion is also curious as it appears to reward a combination of cache and clock speed, with the consequence that the Xeons on Auto look rather poor.

7-Zip v22

In 7-Zip we used v22 of the software to allow the Xeon W9-3495X to stretch its legs and use all 56 cores and 112 threads. The result is a pleasing win in an unfair battle.

AIDA64 Memory Bandwidth

Seeing the Threadripper Pro in action with many channels of DDR4 reminds us that bandwidth is about more than clock speed or Mega Transfers. Let's hope we get to work with 4th Gen Xeon and Octa Channel DDR5.
