Mixed workloads are what workstations are all about.
I'd consider that but DDR4 prices are insane. For myself I want a good blend of single and multi-thread performance for my personal workstation. V2 prices are still way to high for my taste, so I'll take my time. All I want is another 1-2 years out of my current setup.
I've read some review (cant't remember from which source) that v1 to v2 has aprox 5-10% IPC boost, depending on the task. But I am still unsure if just adding up the max-turbo#cores clock is the the right thing to do.
sudo apt install python-numpy libopenblas-baseimport timeit
import numpy as np
size = 300
a = np.random.random_sample((size,size))
b = np.random.random_sample((size,size))
def dot_matrix():
np.dot(a,b)
if __name__ == '__main__':
print(timeit.timeit("dot_matrix()", setup="from __main__ import dot_matrix"))Got no time to verify, but are you sure the script was running mulithreaded? (Edit: And if yes, on all available cores?)
.Just wanted to drop by and thank all participants in this thread! Good discussions and facts in this thread! Upgraded my dual 2670v1 rig to 2x 2690v2 @ $300 a piece. Wanted something between the 2696v2 and 2667v2 after researching and what my needs are. Once again, thanks from a lurker
if the computer originally came with a v1 cpu and didn't come with a v2 cpu, most likely they are locked down to v1 cpu only by a boot block . google and you will see that this is the case for all of the big three hp, Lenovo, dell.. and the boot block is not easily upgradable thr any normal process at all... another ploy to force people to buy new WS without letting people know beforehand that they are at the end of the road with no upgrade path....
