What is the most powerful computer processor in the world?
If the "computer" here is limited to a personal computer, then the most powerful processor is Intel's Core i9-7980XE in terms of absolute performance, and AMD's Ryzen Thread Ripper 1950X, considering the price. Intel has always been the king of computer processors. Intel was unable to update its processors over the past few years because of AMD's rival. The term was "toothpaste squeezing" and the performance didn't improve by more than 10% per year. Big architectural and technological changes. On the desktop, Intel processors are divided into two categories: mainstream and enthusiast. The mainstream category is the X-generation Core, and the enthusiast category is the HEDT high-end platform X series. The Core i7-6950X processor, Intel's fever platform, features the capacity of 20 threads and 10 cores. The Ryzen Ryzen processor received widespread applause for its AMD Zen architecture.
The core is an important aspect. The current mainstream models have eight cores and 16 threads. In the enthusiast field, AMD even launched the Ryzen Thread Ripper, which achieved 16 cores and 32 threads all at once. This renders Intel unable to sit still. The eighth-generation Core was upgraded to six cores and 12 threads. The report states that the Core will have 8 cores and 16 threads when it comes to the next version. The fever level could be increased directly to 18 cores, or 36 threads. It's the i9-7980XE, and I also used the i9 sequence for the first time. The i9-7980XE actually has a lot in common to the previous X series.
It's transmitted from an internet server. It runs a base speed of 2.6GHz and comes with a 24.75MB three-level cache. One core can speed up by up to 4.2GHz and 17-18 cores may be running at the same time. 3.4GHz. The official price is 14,499 Yuan. There are only a few models available. It's possible that this processor's 18 cores and 36 threads can outperform any other processor especially when it is performing multi-threaded software which is a total of 666. Under him, there are 16-core i9-7960X, 14-core i9-7960X, 12-core i9-7920X, and 10 core i9-7900X. All of them are strong and costly.
The 7900X is now priced at 7299 yuan. . AMD's Ryzen Thread Ripper, however, is extremely strong. The most powerful is Thread Ripper 1950X. While 16 cores and 32 threads aren't as efficient as 7980XE, on the one hand, the performance isn't that bad, especially the multi-core efficiency which is extremely high. Sometimes, it can exceed 7980XE. However, it also supports four-channel DDR4-2666 memory. PCI-E 3.0 offers up to 64 channels in order to beat its opponents (more peripherals are able to be connected, particularly hard drives), thermal design power consumption of 180W, and the cost is only 8499 Yuan for the first release. The price is now just 6,999 yuan which is less than half the price of the 7980XE!
