Jumped over to the Lenovo workstation world RIP Dell

Just curious what needs so much computing power. Most modern applications don't utilise all cores. Also a very well built and cooled overclocked system can go a long way

Would get crushed doing HPC and would not be stable or data trustworthy. Lack of memory bandwidth, 24/7 operational reliability I could go on. Those gamer machines are fun for games but real work gets done on proper workstations (deskside supercomputers).

Those cores get used.

memory bandwidth yes
consumer machines run 24/7 without issues at all why do you think this is an issue

Absolutely agree. I built my Win-10 Pro system back in April/2016 using all high quality components at a cost just shy of $3k. Originally built it to edit videos using Adobe's suite of products. I don't edit videos anymore, just use it for trading. Next month will be eight years and it's still going strong. I did have to replace the display panel last summer but, other than that, no issues. Money well spent.

My trading rig runs on Dell Precision 5810 for which I paid $75 on eBay. (Video card and monitors extra, of course.)

I can buy a TON of burritos with the money I saved! :)

What is the benefit of Xeon over i9 processor?

Used to be mostly "some functions"... like ability to communicate with another CPU and generally would handle more RAM. Dell added Core iX a few years back and now even have some with Ryzen CPUs.

Well, if they were New Mexico green chili, chicken burritos, that was a good move on your part! :D

If you wanted a fast processor why go with Intel? Threadripper destroys any Intel workstation CPUs. The days of Intel beating AMD are over.

The Xeon W7-3445 is half as fast as the Threadripper 7960X at $1500 vs. $2000. Passmark score is 84K vs. 42K. The 7970X runs 24 cores at 4.2 GHz vs the w7-3445 which runs 20 cores at 2.6 Ghz. Its not even close.

That's the Lenovo P8
