Intel certainly impressed us at Computex 2018 when it showed off a new processor that features an incredible 28 cores clocked at 5GHz – and now we’ve seen more details about this monster CPU.
The vast majority of processors that most people use in their PCs feature four cores, so we always expected this 28-core CPU to be something that’s not aimed at the mainstream, but having seen some of the details – including a possible price – we’re now convinced that this CPU will be out of the reach of pretty much everyone.
As Anandtech reports, the cooling system alone is suitably crazy. With so many cores running at such a high clock rate, it needs a beefy cooling solution to make sure it doesn’t overheat, and the demo machine on show was being cooled by a large water chiller that runs refrigerant into the machine.
This cooler, a Hailea HC-1000B, requires 1,000W of power on its own, and pumps 1,500 to 4,000 liters of liquid that’s been chilled to 4C.
Intel also confirmed to Anandtech that the CPU was overclocked at well (something that wasn’t mentioned when the CPU was revealed on stage).
