The Intel Xeon W-3175X Review: 28 Unlocked Cores, $2999
by Ian Cutress on January 30, 2019 9:00 AM ESTGaming: World of Tanks enCore
Albeit different to most of the other commonly played MMO or massively multiplayer online games, World of Tanks is set in the mid-20th century and allows players to take control of a range of military based armored vehicles. World of Tanks (WoT) is developed and published by Wargaming who are based in Belarus, with the game’s soundtrack being primarily composed by Belarusian composer Sergey Khmelevsky. The game offers multiple entry points including a free-to-play element as well as allowing players to pay a fee to open up more features. One of the most interesting things about this tank based MMO is that it achieved eSports status when it debuted at the World Cyber Games back in 2012.
World of Tanks enCore is a demo application for a new and unreleased graphics engine penned by the Wargaming development team. Over time the new core engine will implemented into the full game upgrading the games visuals with key elements such as improved water, flora, shadows, lighting as well as other objects such as buildings. The World of Tanks enCore demo app not only offers up insight into the impending game engine changes, but allows users to check system performance to see if the new engine run optimally on their system.

"On the power side of the equation, again the W-3175X comes in like a wrecking ball, and this baby is on fire."It's more like a Miley Cyrus licking a sledgehammer thing to me.

Computex 2018: Intel 28 core 5 Ghz out by end of year.February 2019: Intel 28 core 4.5 Ghz, costs 70% more than competing product.
Intel is early on promises and late on delivery as always.

The CPU is 3000$ + 1500$ MB+ ECC + eXtreme case/PSU/AIO.Thanks Ian Cutress for the honest review!
(unlike "JustBuyIt that gave this fail product(Total System) 4.5/5 rating vs 2990WX 3.5/5 because its expensive!")

We're getting a ton of "sponsored" BS articles lately that are cynical.eva02langley - Thursday, January 31, 2019 - link
WCCFtech gave the MSI 2080 TI lightning 1600$ GPU a 10/10 for value...FMinus - Friday, February 1, 2019 - link
RX 570 is 10/10 along with maybe the GTX 1060, everything else is going down the value ladder pretty fast from that point on. For any consumer/gaming oriented GPU that passes the $500 mark I'd give it -1/10 value score.DanNeely - Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - link
The on stage demo was using a chilled water setup, that they managed to push that system higher than Ian could with room temperature water is only to be expected.jardows2 - Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - link
This seems like a really good processor for a productivity station. I think, especially at the expected price, it would sell really well. That has me puzzled then as to why Intel would have such a limited run. The supposed figures is barely enough to send to review sites around the world, let alone have a profitable product line. If they produced 10X the amount of these, they'd probably sell them all. Why is Intel leaving easy money on the table? Something doesn't seem right about this picture.
