    Will There Ever Be Another Product Like Xeon Phi?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 02:36 PM PDT

    Xeon Phi coprocessor cards are a discontinued Intel product, consisting of a Xeon Phi (many-cores x86) with an extremely fast, wide memory interface -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeon_Phi

    The main advantages of these cards over GPGPUs are that they run a linux kernel, are accessible via ssh/scp, and can run x86 binaries. They are much more pleasant to develop for than CUDA or OpenCL systems.

    Xeon Phi coprocessors are considered obsolete because their performance per watt lags behind modern x86 products, but their main memory bandwidth per watt blows non-GPU products away (roughly 4x higher than modern eight-channel DDR4-3200 conventional systems), which makes them a win for some memory-intensive workloads.

    I have two 5110P coprocessor cards now, and have been considering picking up more, as they can be had for very cheap on eBay ($40 to $120; the cost of electricity dominates TCO). It looks like institutions are divesting themselves of Xeon Phi and switching to GPGPU products (for example ACCRE's Phi cluster is gone, replaced by maxwell and pascal nodes -- https://www.vanderbilt.edu/accre/technical-details/#gpu-cluster).

    I've been learning CUDA and OpenCL programming, but it's a terribly awkward and alien approach, with opaque and hard-to-troubleshoot layers of abstraction between me and the underlying hardware.

    This all makes me wonder if there will ever be another product on the market like Xeon Phi, fabricated on a modern node and with a modern core architecture, with a GPGPU-like memory subsystem. Perhaps an Ice Lake-SP SBC with sixteen-channel DDR5?

    Or has the market spoken, and decreed GPGPU is The Way? Since Intel abandoned the idea, will that frighten away anyone else from picking it up, forever?

    Comparison of 3080Ti Cards from Asus, EVGA, MSI, Palit & Zotac: Performance, Temperatures, Fan Noise, Power Limit, Consumption & Overclocking

    Posted: 07 Jun 2021 09:02 PM PDT

    In view of nVidia's reference design, which can be called "average" at best, the graphics card manufacturers have the opportunity to distinguish themselves from the Founders Edition of the GeForce RXT 3080 Ti with their own designs some stronger than just with the usual performance advantage of 2-3%. According to TechPowerUp's extensive tests of five GeForce RTX 3080 Ti AIB designs, this is partly successful, but the performance effect of (at best) +6% on a factory water-cooled Asus card is not really outstanding.

    The higher performance is usually bought by even higher power consumption - and ironically, the only card with the same performance as the FE (Palit) has exactly the same power consumption as nVidia's "Founders Edition". Besides that, the AIB designs usually don't really offer anything better than nVidia in terms of noise - only the MSI top model shows its class here (some similar would be possible with the Asus card via it's extra "Quiet BIOS"). The overclocking suitability does not improve with the AIB models either: You consistently getting just between 3-5% more on top of the card's standard performance.

    nVidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Performance Summary: 8 reviews & 940 benchmarks compiled

    Posted: 07 Jun 2021 09:52 AM PDT

    • compilation of 8 launch reviews with ~940 gaming benchmarks at the 4K/2160p resolution
    • only benchmarks under real games compiled, not included any 3DMark & Unigine benchmarks
    • geometric mean in all cases
    • stock performance on reference/FE boards, no overclocking
    • only launch reviews with complete adoption of rBAR & SAM were evaluated
    • standard performance without RayTracing and/or DLSS
    • missing results were interpolated (for a more accurate average) based on the available & former results
    • performance average is weighted in favor of reviews with more benchmarks
    • results were cutted in 2 tables, because as one table it becomes to wide (all results are comparable between the two tables)
