Anandtech: Intel Announces Xeon W-1200 Series: Comet Lake for Workstations, W480

Aside from Comet Lake vPro being announced today, Intel is also lifting the lid on a new series of processors: W-1200. This line of parts are analogous to Intel’s 10th Gen Comet Lake consumer hardware, but with support for dual channel ECC DDR4-2933 memory, up to 128 GB. These new parts will not work in the Z490 motherboards just released onto the market, they will require new W480 motherboards – we know that most of the motherboard vendors are planning to support the platform. These CPUs are also part of the vPro line when paired with W480, supporting Intel Hardware Shield, but otherwise have similar specifications to the consumer parts.

OverclockersClub: Ghost Recon Breakpoint Review

At the same time Ghost Recon Breakpoint gained support for Vulkan, it also received some significant gameplay changes as part of its Title Update 2.0, including the introduction of the Ghost Experience. This new mode changes a lot of the gameplay experience to make it more immersive. Changes include the removal of gear level and tiered loot, so when you find a weapon it is its intrinsic characteristics that differentiate it, instead of values set by some algorithm and a random number. The UI will also be largely removed at the default Ghost Experience configuration, but you can also create your own configuration if you wish, to place your experience somewhere between the Regular Experience, like the game at launch, and the Ghost Experience.

Anandtech: The Supermicro H11DSi Motherboard Mini-Review: The Sole Dual EPYC Solution

Users looking to build their own dual EPYC workstation or system, using completely off-the-shelf components, do not have a lot of options. Users can buy most of the CPUs at retail or at OEM, as well as memory, a chassis, power supplies, coolers, add-in cards. But the one item where there isn’t a lot of competition for these sorts of builds is in the motherboard. Unless you go down the route of buying a server on rails with a motherboard already fitted, there are very limited dual EPYC motherboard options for users to just purchase. So few in fact, that there are only two, both from Supermicro, and both are called the H11DSi. One variant has gigabit Ethernet, the other has 10 gigabit Ethernet.
