Anyone interested in putting your own computing resources to work helping fight these and other diseases should stop by the Software/Distributed Computing sub-forum and check out what is available. Both CPU and GPU resources can be utilized.
So based on that we can assume that Intel has absolutely no problem selling basically everything it makes.
You may have a sense that Intel desktop CPUs are gathering dust in the retail channel and that's probably right. But it's a tiny part of their production. These CPUs can also be easily repackaged for OEMs if necessary. Scale is Intel's big strength.
As a reseller, we have been told our intel stock is on a 3-4 week ETA, and AMD is getting to about 2-3 weeks (for retail packaging). EOM build systems (HP, Lenovo, Dell etc) have all given us 4-6 week ETAs for new orders on systems not already in the channel.

I don’t have a boss standing over my shoulder and I make my own hours.

" Saturn V supercomputer, consisting of 125 DGX-1 nodes, onto the problem. "
You could make a separate post just about this, clicking on your link it says it has 1.8exaFlops of power! That basically more than doubled the processing power of Folding@Home!
You really need to be careful with Nvidia's numbers. They will tout 16-bit tensor core performance, every chance they get. 1.8 exaFLOPS is the quoted "AI performance", but that's not what HPC or F@H uses.
If Saturn V has 15k V100 GPUs and each one has roughly 15 TFLOPS of fp32 or 7.5 TFLOPS of fp64, then aggregate performance is only about 225 petaFLOPS of fp32 or 113 petaFLOPS of fp64. Still fast, but an order of magnitude lower than F@H.
In original Civ I would quickly research mathematics which would unlock the catapult - which I would use to ring the capital city of the computer players..

They have to get rid of dead inventory some how - at least this is for a good use.I have over 60 28c Xeons folding + 20 RTX6000 folding as well

i guess that means intel will be donating 2 or 3 times that in just their dead inventory of cpu's :-) :-)Deicidium369 - Friday, April 17, 2020 - link
What dead inventory, Jimmy? Intel sells 100% of what it can produce.Korguz - Friday, April 17, 2020 - link
so you say, care to post a link that proves it ? or will you just go back to insults and name calling, oh wait, you already did thatnotb - Sunday, April 26, 2020 - link
Inventory level is given in financial statement. It's stable.https://s21.q4cdn.com/600692695/files/doc_financia...
Revenue is up, margins are up.

Cool. Thanks for the info.In what country or broader geographic region are you based?

You can also go to Foldinghome because they all do the same thing and go to the same place.barbarajarp - Tuesday, April 28, 2020 - link

Not if Folding is now at 2.5Exaflops as the article claims.skavi - Tuesday, April 21, 2020 - link
That number appears to be for a very specific operation. TOP500 has its Rmax at 3,307 TFlop/smode_13h - Tuesday, April 21, 2020 - link

This is like when you're in deep shit in a game of Civ 2 and you put all your resources into science.Also, did anyone else get the mental picture of health care workers giving COVID tests wearing Intel bunny suits?
