It is impossible. The only thing you can do is increase base clock for few MHz which increases total clock for up to 100MHz, but max multiplier ofc remains locked.cma6 wrote:Are any of these dual-Xeon systems overclocked, which I thought was impossible?

Re: Intel’s 28-Core Xeon Platinum 8176
For many years I always thought that Kn/s was the way to rank a CPU for computer chess. From what I heard here it is time to depth. Can anyone suggest a very good CPU for time to depth or know where there is a rating?

You can run them at their all-core turbo speed. (Or rather, they will normally run by themselves at their all-core turbo speed, with proper cooling etc.)cma6 wrote:Are any of these dual-Xeon systems overclocked, which I thought was impossible?
So the Xeon E5-2690v3 is advertised as 2.6Ghz but has all-core turbo of 3.1Ghz as shown in this table. (Unfortunately the table seems incomplete.)
I have no personal experience with Xeons, so don't take my word for it. And it may be dependent on the motherboard. But if you buy a dual Xeon, pay attention to the all-core turbo speed.

The 6950x, overclocked to 4.37 ghz @ 1.371 V scored 26577 kn/s on the Sedat benchmark you quoted.Leo wrote:For many years I always thought that Kn/s was the way to rank a CPU for computer chess.

For analysis of one position, or machine-vs-machine games, the 6950x will outperform all of the dual-core xeon machines you listed.

Re: Intel’s 28-Core Xeon Platinum 8176
Of course now it is better to wait for the Skylake-X processors to come out. The i9-7900X will have 10 cores, like the 6950x, but with higher base clock (so most likely more room for overclocking) and for a lot less money. Or for the price of the i7-6950X one could get the i9-7960X with 16 cores.Jesse Gersenson wrote:The 6950x, overclocked to 4.37 ghz @ 1.371 V scored 26577 kn/s on the Sedat benchmark you quoted.Leo wrote:For many years I always thought that Kn/s was the way to rank a CPU for computer chess.

Intel reigned in pricing on the 10-core model from $1,723 with the Broadwell-E i7-6950X to $1,000 with the Skylake-X i9-7900X, thus wiping out the i7-6950X's resale value immediately.

There is always something better coming, if you can wait.

Re: Intel’s 28-Core Xeon Platinum 8176
The difference with always is that the 6950x is vastly overpriced. Were its price to drop to below $1000, then it would be a good option for those that don't want to wait for Skylake-X. (It seems the price has dropped already from $1900 to $1600, but that is not enough imho.)jdart wrote:There is always something better coming, if you can wait.
