This year, as far as I knew coming into this, Intel wasn't supposed to have any new CPU products on display. And yet, there's the commemorative, like, 40-year anniversary of the original 8086 CPU that we're gonna actually- we found one here on the floor, we're gonna go check that out later. That thing launched, also they're giving away 8086 of them, just freaking crazy. Maybe we'll link the details to that down below. And then, we swung by the ROG booth again, and this was not here yesterday. So, they're calling this ROG Dominus- Dominus? Dominus. 16-phase ROG concept motherboard with some kind of classified CPU in it. And I have gone out of my way to ask all of the ASUS people here as little as possible. Because as soon as they tell me anything about this, I'm gonna be, like, honor-bound to not say anything. Because Intel is being extremely tight-lipped about what's going on in here. And I have seen some pretty- dumb's not the word I'm looking for, but some pretty unlikely speculation about what exactly is going on here. So, first of all, let's bring up- so they're letting us run Cinebench. This is- this is freaking awesome. They're letting us run Cinebench, so we've got a score from last time, 6000 points. We can't bring up CPU-Z, but we're allowed to run Cinebench. So, let's see if we can count how many- oh crap. Okay, it's gonna be pretty hard for us to count how many cores it has. Which pretty much tells me everything that I need to know, because a lot of people wouldn't recognize this socket. But I've actually been working on a six video editor's one CPU project for a while. So I've got ASUS's dual LGA3647 socket, WS Sage board, and it's got a socket that looks an awful lot like that. Now we know Intel isn't launching any new CPU architectures right now, so we can speculate that this is probably based on the same socket and a similar CPU to the 28 core Max chips that I've been running for that project. We also know that because there's six memory slots, it is either triple channel, which would be a total blast from the past, or it is six channel memory, which again would suggest that this is going to be very similar to Intel's server-grade Xeon platform. Now, I was a little bit critical of Xeon W, because as far as we could tell, it's basically a core i9 with ECC memory tacked onto it for a few hundred extra dollars. And Intel didn't seem like they were gonna be supporting the high- the very high-end workstation with these server-only chips. Is something like that gonna happen? Well, based on that the bottom third or so of this board seems to be recycled from the Sage, I would say that could happen. And based on their concept-grade 16-phase power delivery system up here, I would say that they are probably going to allow overclocking, which is incredibly exciting. Okay, so the one thing that they'll tell us about this, other than that it's 16-phase and that it's running some kind of classified CPU, is that this power delivery setup up here, check this out, you got two 24 pins in, there's one over there, there's one down here, and then I can't actually find them all, but it would appear as though there are- yeah, here they are, one, two, three, four, five, six. A combination of four 8-pins and two 6-pins that appear to be designed to power the CPU socket alone. Over here there's no VRM, this is just more heatsink with more fans, six fans, and this thing can provide up to 2,000 watts of power, like 2,100 watts or something like that. Okay, so to put that in context, the 18-core Extreme Edition Core i9 can suck back about 500 watts underwater or about 1,000 under liquid nitrogen, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were building this thing for liquid nitrogen, which might tell us that if this is a 28-core CPU, and we were to overclock it to, I don't know, let's say 4 points something high, 5 gigahertz, who knows? It could pull as much as 1,000 watts of power. That is like, that's like, threadripper, what threadripper? And here it is, where the one and only Durate Hour, is that how you pronounce it? Durator, no, I'm just kidding. Der Bauer has got an 8086K running on, I don't know, some kind of motherboard, it's covered in like automotive shop cloth and a liquid nitrogen pot. Anyway, the point is, they've got it running at 7.1 gigahertz at the moment, and we've got a shot of CPU-Z up here, which will tell us a totally unrealistic speed that you might get it running at if you're basically him and nobody else. It also tells us it's 6 cores, 12 threads, so basically an 8700K, and unfortunately, that's pretty much all there is to it. From his testing, he figures it's about as good as a good 8700K, not like super special binned or anything like that, and you do get a special badge in CPU-Z, it says 40th anniversary, but other than that, this is mostly meant to be a commemorative skew, and any rumors about soldered IHS or anything like that seem to have been exaggerated. So I guess that's pretty much it for random Intel CPU launches we didn't see coming. Thanks to LastPass for making our coverage of Computex 2018 possible this year. LastPass lets you store all your passwords securely in your account so that when you're traveling or using a new machine or just logging into something that you haven't used in a while, you don't have to go digging through paper notes somewhere, or heaven forbid, you don't have to reuse passwords because it can automatically generate them for you when you create your accounts.
