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.

I don't know what's more delusional, Intel selling a 500Watt CPUor fanboys thinking that this product will sell well at $3000.
Listen buddy, most sales from these systems come from Dell, HP and/or Lenovo workstations.
Nobody is going to bother messing with a cpu that's a fire hazard, gives you the same PCI-e lanes as a $300 CPU and you are obliged, as Dell/HP/Lenovo, to buy special motherboards from asus or another manufacturer.
Finally, the product placement here from Purch media targets Gamers, plus intel targets gamers.
This is just a shelf product, just like 8700k and 9900k to fight for the first position in some benchmarks, against zen, due to the unfortunate circumstances of zen being that good.
This product takes binned cpus away from much higher priced Xeons. They are not going to make great numbers available, by default, even if they could supply the market.

"delusional", "fanboys", "Listen buddy", "fire hazard"You don't have to get so emotional to make a point.

I like my comments to be vivid.I don't write NPC comments.

Then you should move to somewhere like Wccftech, where you won't even have to rationalize picking fights and being gratuitously rude. People like you ruin the tone of a quality forum.eddman - Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - link
Being vulgar and crass isn't the same as being "vivid". If you cannot reply without resorting to name calling, then this not the place for you.WasHopingForAnHonestReview - Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - link
What part of his comment insulted you, snowflake?eddman - Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - link
I didn't say he's not right.None. The point is this is a tech site. There is no need for such remarks.
"Snowflake"
This is what I'm talking about. Randomly calling people names with no reason. You don't even know me.

I've run a lot of paper and pencil RPGs over the years and I'm disappointed to say that a number of my cookie cutter NPCs had more personality than some of the player characters, but I'm one of those story first GM types.WasHopingForAnHonestReview - Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - link
Buzzwords or not the man is right.BGADK - Wednesday, January 30, 2019 - link
You have no idea what professional software costs. In the end my clients dont care if the PC costs 5000USD, 7000 USD or 12000USD.The difference disapear when you add the software costs and my fee.
