Oh man; pair that with SSD based SANs for boot volumes and you have full-on ESX IT guy w00d. Think of the potential for performance and power savings @ the same time!

Sounds good, I want to see benchmarks and will this be the world's fastest CPU? 12 cores with 6MB of L2 and 12MB of L3 cache does sound wicked.
Sounds like a killer chip for sure!
The fastest x86 cpu at tasks it is intended for? Probable.Quote:

If you look over here:
http://boincstats.com/stats/host_sta...ve=&st=0&or=16
12 cores is a "minimum requirement" :rofl:
What about the prices on the new CPUs?
Also the opteron pricing has not been updated since November 4th:
http://www.amd.com/us/products/prici...r-opteron.aspx
The 1381 and 2427 prices need to come down a bit: $150 and $300 would be
a very good start :up:
Price list generally only changes when new products are introduced. Server pricing is generally fairly static.Quote:

I think its like a mandatory thing isn't it to be called "proper" member of a DC Team here on Xs :pQuote:

So no one say Dual Socket boards are not for consumers... I'm NEVER going back to a single core.
Dual CPU's for the win
All I need to know is:
- Will this improve my short-hand 12 tablin' experience
- When will it hit retail?
1. I have no idea what that is
2. It will be available before the end of the quarter.
Intel 2x12 (2x Gulftown) lose in wprime :-)
Magny cours vs server Gulftown
Hmmmmm, interesting.
Now, what would happen if it were faster, less expensive and drew less power? Nah, that could never happen, that would be impossible, right?
All I want to know is this:
How does it fold?
I get 31000 PPD at 3.3 GHz out of Gulftown. Can this match, or beat it?
(and yes, ALL I do is fold).
I have no idea. Since our products are targeted at enterprise workloads we aren't testing for folding performance, sorry.
Agreed. Nonetheless impressive. So far for gamers the promise of multi core remains largely unfulfilled. :(Quote:

Thank you for your reply JF, when I meant 12 tablin' I was of course referring to poker :D
We all know your the exception to the rule you punk :)Quote:

To JF-AMD: Is there a possibility of a 3ghz chip? As an architect, who does a lot of renderings, a 3ghz, 12-core system would be the sweet spot. I could pump them out like crazy...then again, 2.3ghz, 12-core still would pump out crazy fast too, especially when there would be 12 other computers like this and we could do a network render. mmmm 144 pure cores rendering at 2.3 ghz. yummy!!!!
OK price on chip?
I have a question regarding the G34 platform, since now we're seeing quad channel memory, can we expect the same quad channel for all Bulldozer incarnations (8 & 16 cores)?
Cheers.
24 cores win over 12 cores - what a surprise ;)
Still, when we see power numbers, it might be impressive.

Definitley not, you should see the same power and thermals as our Istanbul products.
can't comment on clock speeds or pricing until launch. If you want clocks, don't forget that there is also an 8-core model that has higher clock speeds and by virtue of the fact that there are fewer cores, you will have a higher core to cache ratio.Quote:

Jeff, be honest with yourself. You wouldn't know a high performance processor from a Pentium 4.
All this talk of "features" and "value" reeks of an apologist.
Oh, and my name is not Jeff.
