No apparent PCI-E slots so no 3DMark and SuperPi isn't optimized for multiprocessing. :(
But this thing should encode DivX and DVDShrink like a mofo! :lol: Rosetta and folding anyone? ;) UT 2007 server? :p:
Tyan unleashes 16-core 'personal' supercomputer (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/06/07/tyan_unveils_typhoon/)
Computex 2006 Taiwan's Tyan today pledged to ship a deskside "personal supercomputer" powered by eight Intel low-voltage 'Woodcrest' Xeon processors and packing up to 48GB of memory in the fourth quarter. But expect to pay at least $10,000 for the wheel-mounted machine, the company said.
The Woodcrest-based Typhoon, the B5372, will be preceded by the B5191, this time based on four 'Conroe' Core 2 Duo CPUs but capable of taking up to 64GB of unbuffered 667MHz DDR 2 connected via an Intel 3000 North Bridge - the B5372 uses the 'Blackford VS' chipset. The Conroe machine is aimed at "cost-conscious" buyers, Tyan said, the other at the more performance hungry.
