ECC support and total stability
The platform costs as much again as the chip
In a workstation that never stops it has been utterly reliable, and the ECC memory support was the reason we chose it over a desktop part.
Used for: 3–6 months
Bought for a render node and it has paid for itself already in time saved. The memory bandwidth is the part people underestimate, my scenes load in a fraction of the time they did on a desktop platform, never mind the core count. Cooling it is a project of its own.
Used for: 6–12 months
Enough PCIe lanes that nothing has to share
The thing that keeps impressing me is the lane count. Four NVMe drives, two capture cards and a GPU, all running at full width, with nothing having to share.
Used for: 3–6 months
Running simulations on this, jobs that used to take a working day now finish over lunch. Thirty two cores all pinned at full tilt and it holds its clocks the whole time.
Used for: More than a year
Continuous duty in our office and it has not faltered once. Runs at 82 under a full thirty two core load on a big air cooler, which is warm but nowhere near a problem, and that is fourteen months of it. The board and memory cost as much as the processor did, mind.
Used for: Less than a month
Compiles went from nineteen minutes to under five
sTR5 coolers cost a fortune
Just commissioned it into our build farm. Compile times on our main project have gone from nineteen minutes to under five. The sTR5 cooler was expensive.
Used for: 1–3 months
Thirty two cores that hold their clocks
No integrated graphics at all, you must fit a card
Thirty two cores and it never breaks a sweat. No integrated graphics, so budget for a card.
