https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-just-unveiled-a-beastly-56-core-112-thread-cpu-but-its-not-for-gaming-yet/ > It's barely been two months since Intel unveiled its Xeon W-3175X, a 28-core/56-thread processor that, at the time, was its biggest and baddest slice of silicon to date. Not anymore. Intel today lifted the curtain on its Xeon Platinum 9200 series, the top model of which is an even bigger and badder processor with a whopping 56 cores and 112 threads to hammer workloads. > If the massive core count is not a big enough clue, the Xeon nomenclature indicates that this is destined for servers and datacenters, not gaming PCs and home consumers. That said, it's not as though core and thread counts are shrinking—AMD already offers a 32-core/64-thread Threadripper processor for enthusiasts, and there are rumblings of a 64-core/128-thread being in the wings with AMD's upcoming Zen 2 refresh.
