So, why would a buyer choose the 6377P over a Core i9 running on a high-end desktop board? The answer probably lies in what consumer platforms don't offer: certified ECC support, validated system configurations, and the multi-year product lifecycle commitments that enterprise procurement often requires.
Intel has not indicated whether the 6377P will be compatible with existing consumer LGA1700 motherboards, and given its Server/Enterprise use designation, OEM system availability is the more likely path to market.

bolweval I'm looking forward to someone trying to run this in a z790 board… Reply
salgado18 I'd love to see this testes in games. How would a 12 P-core CPU behave without those e-cores? I believe the P-cores of Intel are faster than AMD's, but there has never been more than 8 of those against up to 16 from red team. Reply
