> i'm just wondering what one can do with this type of machine better than an intel. The BIG advantage to Power9 is the massive L3 cache. Utterly, utterly huge. The 18-core Power9 chip has 90MB of L3 for example. With 8x RAM channels at only $1300. With 4xSMT, that's 72-threads. Compare to Intel's Xeon Gold 6150 $3000 chip, which only has 24.75 MB of RAM and only 6x RAM channels. Intel only supports 2xSMT for 36-threads. |
