Hi!
We are using an older Xeon architecture configuration and are considering replacing it. The question is which direction to take. We have a few machines equipped with Z790 chipsets, which are quite stable, but I've heard a lot of good things about Intel's new-generation Ultra processors. Does anyone have experience with these? I'm mainly interested in stability—whether it matches that of Xeon. Also, how does Aximmetry perform on it?
We're looking at an Ultra 7 model that runs at 5 GHz. Our current setup includes 128GB of RAM, an RTX 4090 GPU, and NVMe2 SSDs for the system and files. These would be carried over to the new configuration, with the RAM upgraded to DDR5 but maintaining the same capacity.
Tanks in advance!
Best regards:
Adam
The main issue is the limited PCIe bandwidth. There’s not enough bandwidth to run the GPU at full speed in combination with full PCIe bandwidth for the capture card and NVMe2 SSDs. It Iger be totally fine with one 4K input and one 4K output, but struggle when you go over that. You probably won’t be able to run the GPU at full x16 bandwidth. In most cases this won’t affect performance a lot, but in other cases it might cause a bottleneck.
