We saw this edit in the HEDT range Cascade Lake-X of the desktop and the fact that it was a minor result of Intel's result against AMD. While it is true that its processors compete for a wide range of competitors, the price is the same as the one proposed by their competitor, since they cannot compete against the new Threadripper 3000 gaming price.
With Xeon L we're talking about the same situation but at much higher rates, where we can see the CPUs for it $ 17,000for example.
More price cuts
Even though the L-list focuses on providing maximum RAM management for each server, regardless of whether it is one or two, its capabilities reach the best value 4.5 TB on leading models, so Intel has been playing with these components for a long time where they knew that such capacity was a limiting factor for big data companies.
Existing Xeons such as those found within Cascade Lake SP can be tackled 1.5 TB of RAM DDR4, when the "M" variant reaches 2TB, logically above are the L-named ones that support Optane DC's continuous memory.
With the six RAM channels available, Xeon platforms can hold the same number of Optane modules, giving us as a result the last six modules 128 GB and 60 512 GB Optane, which is why 4,5 TB are complete.
So, a processor like the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 in its separate L, has gone from costing $ 18,000 to $ 13,000
Intel is pulled down to compete
If we look at the table we will see that prices are more affordable now than 6 months ago, and even a giant giel like Intel can compete against AMD's bets in the memory segment, with the explanation as we have noted with the options and processes that work.
AMD and its EPYC version Rome 7000 can cope up to a point 8 channels of RAM with 256 GB modules for both units and per channel. Without the need for other programs like Optane, it is able to offer its customers 4 TB of DDR4, proving that even though the total output is a bit smaller than its competitors, it doesn't need to install an expensive Optane DC to operate at the same capacity.
As we mentioned, inflation has exceeded all models, so now we can get exactly the same 4210 with 10 cores at 3.2 GHz and TDP of 85 watts only 501 euros. Which shows that as we've seen on desktop, Intel is taking AMD seriously and doesn't want to produce even the smallest millionth of the world.
