well if you guys want a little preview of the TYAN i5400 XT just check my HW Bot sig, I currently hold 16th in the world for 32m and 11th for 1024m.

The best part about those numbers is that those are from the stock system. I'm going to be BSELing the procs to 40mhz soon, i'll let you guys know when I've got #1 in the world ;)

PS Hwbot is wrong, i am not using t5450 memorem procs, LOL @ bad cpuID

My guess would be end of spring at the earliest, perhaps into summer. Especially since X48 is taking its sweet time and we hear about chips getting pushed back.

Guys I am waiting for procs for my SkullTrail. I did attempt to fire up the X48 but could not get it to properly boot (no vid but fans running and such . . U know the deal). I picked up an Asus X38 today to help troubleshoot the X48 (need to verify ram and CPU are ok . . .this is same CPU that was in 780i when it stopped working . . .also have an E6600 I will use to test if each mobo works and several PSUs and sets of ram). So right now at my house I have:
1 SkullTrail
1 Bonetrail 2 X48
1 Asus X38
1 EVGA 780i
1 Asus Striker Extreme 680i
2 EVGA 680i (one in Order 66 build with X6800 proc)

QX9650
QX6700
E6600

Clearly low on procs . . .

tons of ram as well . . .tho only 2 gigs of borrowed DDR3

Need to do some good testing

When will we see the X48BT2 available? I am really liking that board to replace my BadAxe2 at my next upgrade (sometime in fall, maybe? - gotta pay down my NewEgg debt :)).

I guessed NDA as well (is Jan 23/24 the end of the NDA or was that something with AMD VGA cards?)..I just want to see the FSB this thing can pull and maybe shots of quad-SLI as well :D .

Yes it has.

While the board also supports “regular” Xeons, Intel has developed a “special” Xeon just for Skulltrail and enthusiast desktop-based workloads. In contrast to the regular Xeons, the “special” version are designed to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the board, Intel said. For example, Piednoel explained that these Xeons have “aggressive pre-fetchers,” which schedule data retrieval and utilize front-side bus bandwidth differently than traditional Xeons, something the analyst referred to as “tuning”. It’s this internal tuning and unlocked multiplier that differentiates them.

"While the board also supports “regular” Xeons..."

I would trade in my 2 SM boards for ST boards just for the OC'ing abilities.

Why do I forsee some existing benchmarks going to be, um destroyed?

There is very little interest in Sandra CPU Synthetic Benchmarks, the results can be easily predicted beforehand.

The most interesting benchmark is memory bandwidth test, specifically multi-threaded memory benchmark.

No not my, but I though I'd share this with you all. Found it at xbitlabs.com.

walang ano man;)
