Title: New Xeon " Scalable" & Corona
Post by: reban on 2017-12-08, 07:49:21

Hi everybody!

My company is going to order new workstation with bi-xeon CPU called "scalable". This is the model ---->Xeon 8160 2.1 2666MHz 24C CPU

I can't find them in the corona benchmark, ( maybe are they too young). the only thing I know about those CPUs, is the price and .... woow.

Do you think they will be good to work with corona? ( We are doing some realflow stuff too)

Have a nice day!

I am not really a hardware expert, so cannot help you much, but it seems that at least some of the models are already benchmarked:

Here is a list of all variants:

I saw this model, but i'm afraid because I'm not a cpu expert myself and I don't want to be disapointed with a bad CPU for corona.

Thx anyway!
