The things I would do for a pair of X5680's.
I'm certainly tempted to max out the credit card on a pair of L5640's though. Hopefully the W555 wont be to expensive otherwise I wont be able to stretch to it.

I wouldn't take out your credit card just yet ;)
As for the memory and QPI support I was wondering the same things. It is different on different places of their site.

So did Intel make a 32nm quad core die or is it a disabled hex?
I wouldn't say I am 100 percent certain, but the fact that it is a quad core with 12 MB of L3 cache, I would have to say a disabled hexa-core CPU.Quote:

and can we both agree that it looks like a good year for both the blue and the green?:DQuote:

I sure hope you'll be able to keep that smile when your customers will confront you with the above numbers.
Even MC can't stand a chance at 2S given that it will clock well bellow the 8439SE Opterons.
Your glass is always full :yepp: Shouldn't you be busy right now putting up your results with the SR-2 :rofl:Quote:

As to the SR2 what are you talking about?
Results? what results?:rofl:
MM...the time..itsa makin tick-tock..
edit: hoping for lots of competition, will take the prices down to level one can start to dream
Saaya why are you bringing me down with that price chart? No hex-core CPU's for under a grand (well +/- $50)??! As much as I do really want to put a pair of those beauties to work in an SR-2, that is just too much. At least it was a nice dream, and who knows maybe they'll release something more affordable around Q4/Q1 2011.
Ah well, waiting for Q3...Quote:

These are server parts. When you overclock processors, sometimes 2+2=5. Not a problem if you are playing a game, but can be a problem if you are relying on it for real work.
Makes we wonder about people overclocking their folding machines. You are getting more work done, but is there some type of error checking that compares results so there is redundancy of data?
Yeah and AMD pushed the holy monolithic angle to multicore cpus, the irony.Quote:

Still though if magnycours is cheaper and higher perf then I would definately be interested in updating my Istanbull rig in the future, even though it would require a brand new motherboard.
