WOW great CPU! Just curious, how did you get it? :D
Just curious as why they didn't raise the L3 cache up even more. Wouldn't that increase performance?
Don't think it would increase it much... Do you remember comparisons of Core 2 Duos with 2mb and 4mb of L2 cache? The difference wasn't big at all. Here they have 6x2mb basically, and 256kb of L2 for each core... If not all cores are equally loaded, then loaded ones get even more cache they can use. So don't think adding more would be beneficial. L3 at least.
JC what about that wallpaper :D
Yep, and Boinc bench :)
Intel's newest roadmap:

It seems Gulftown will replace Core i7 975 Extreme and have a $999 price tag.
So this Core i9 is going to be out and about sometime early next year?
I must admit I am most impressed..especially considering you have an early ES Sample, no doubt things will improve come retail :)
Nice background too ;)

desktop roadmap is not very interesting for gulftown, i want to see the xeon roadmap.
It looks expensive.
I think it will be more practical if Intel release a i5-740 to replace Q8400 at the $176 price point.
They need more quad-core at the mainstream.
Only one 999$ priced 32 nm CPU with cores more than two, will be even in Q3 2010, a year after this moment? Where 32nm mainstream quads?
My guess is that your going to see Gulftown 6 cores for the single and dual socket boards in socket 1366 and then for the enterprise class stuff you'll see the 8 core Beckton EX but that should work in a dual socket board also but different socket than 1366..
That will be their flagship model to go up against AMD's server class systems
It will be interesting to see what happens.
Someone at Intel needs to lift the weight on the pendulum up a little bit. The tick-tock scheme is loosing time.
That's their Tick-Tock model.
And 32nm in Q1 '10 and Sandy Bridge in Q1 '11 is a little late compared with their initial promise, mind you. :p:
