Credit: di Bronzino | Shutterstock AMD's Threadripper 2990WX redefined the high end desktop when it burst onto the scene with 32-cores and 64-threads, setting a new high watermark for sheer multi-threaded performance. Threadripper's copious core counts, low pricing and a healthy slathering of 64 PCIe lanes made the platform a hit with the prosumer and workstation crowd, threatening Intel's dominance in the high-end workstation market. Intel, not content with second place, kicked the tires on its aging Skylake architecture and rolled out a new overclockable workstation processor that hails from the server space. The 28-core 58-thread Xeon W-3175X also comes to market bearing a six-channel memory controller and support for ECC memory, a must for professional-class workloads. Overclocking is also on the table, but the high-end focus is apparent in its $2,999 price tag. The Xeon W line of processors are designed specifically for workstation users and their unique needs, so we … [Read more...] about Core Combat: Intel Xeon W-3175X vs. AMD Threadripper 2990WX

2018 Cadillac CT6 vs. 2018 Lexus LS 500
Performance While the Cadillac CT6 is available with a trio of four- and six-cylinder engines, the Lexus LS 500 only offers one V6 option. (Both cars additionally have hybrid variants.) In its top spec, the CT6's twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 produces 404 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque; the LS 500, meanwhile, uses a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 with 416 horsepower and 442 pound-feet. Generally speaking, the Lexus is both more comfortable for highway cruising and better mannered on curvy roads. Both cars are EPA-estimated to achieve 18 miles per gallon in the city, though the Lexus' 27-mpg highway rating is slightly better than the Cadillac's 25 mpg. The LS 500 uses a 10-speed automatic transmission, while the CT6 uses an 8-speed unit, which likely makes up for the highway fuel economy improvement. Media Cadillac's CUE interface isn't our favorite system on the market, but it's received a number of improvements over the years. The touchscreen offers crisp graphics and average response … [Read more...] about 2018 Cadillac CT6 vs. 2018 Lexus LS 500
