^ If this is the same version/revision i am working with then it will have a central big die and two small rectangular ones on each side of the big die. The thing is very powerful and it already runs ray tracing almost across the board "Scaling is ok will be better soon"

wonder when will be the time they stop experimenting it and release it to mainstream?

or maybe after the military and juice up their goodies? :D

Compared to some Video Cards it's acceptable for what it represents (a High-End CPU).

^ lol u still mad...

I wonder if it would run windows and WCG?
Even if the cores are slow at 1.6GHz there are 48 of them.
That's a total of 76,800MHz..on 125w?:rofl:

It does not run windows "At least the version i and 13 other people are working with does not" the x86 programs have to be modified to run and scale properly. The good news is that ray tracing implementation is almost perfect in scaling, give it a few more months and it will scale wonderfully across the cores.

How about Linux?
I know we have different interests here but IF these cores have any balls at all then even though slower 48 of them pulling 125w makes for the ideal cruncher.
Electrical draw is the big concern today in the crunching world.
Let me rephrase the question: Do you think this could run windows without a huge amount of money being thrown at it?

What do you mean it doesn't run windows? Is this a CPU or a GPU?

How does it do in Crysis?, and does it need CUDA kernel to run windows programs? :rofl:

SCC does not support hardware cache coherency -- syncing data status in the caches must be done manually by the programmer. I guess this is the reason for the limited compatibility, at least conserning the SMP OS kernels.

Lets hope they work out all the little headaches as it does sound very interesting .:up:

any wprime?

Are you gettin' wet yet dave?! :rofl:

That things does sounds sexy for crunching still there seems some things needed to be worked out - keep pushing Intel :D

Well it costs a grand for 6 so... will this cost $47952?

No, by that logic it would be $8,000.00

(6 core for a grand, 6 goes into 48 8times..)
