xeon scalable

The xeon scalable tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion threads where Intel's Xeon Scalable server processors appear in real builds and experiments. Current coverage centers on a homelab project that ran a very large AI model on a CPU-only server using a 40-core 3rd-gen Xeon Scalable chip paired with discontinued Intel Optane persistent memory instead of a GPU. The thread focuses on practical results, including slow inference speeds and cooling demands, rather than vendor specifications. Expect hardware-focused conversation about server platforms, memory choices, and the tradeoffs of running demanding workloads without graphics acceleration.
