When I get back, I'll prove without a doubt this setup is the real deal ;)

I would not worry myself about it......Prolly just jealous that they didn't get to debut the chips ;)

If you're back, try something to bring the NB Clock up.

And interessting to see that it seems that AMD uses the same (crappy) Coolers they use since they broght the socket 754 and 940...

haha make 3x4 and again 2x the result 24 cores.. amazing math :rofl: :ROTF:

from a quad core.. triple and double, at other words :p

Yes, used an old E6600 Heatsink and some older S478 Things...
But you're right, the AMD Heatpipe Sinks ain't that bad, they even had one really good version with 80mm fan.

Sorry, meant Quad Socket/Dice...

and it is not a quad socket either lol

its dual socket

That depends on the point of view.
It's a dual socket but 4 processor system (maximum is 4 socket).

I don't see what the controversy is.. 8 cores are on the horizon, it only makes sense that a bit over the horizon you've got 12 and 16 cores.

But I think the era of the CPU is coming to an end, It won't be that long before CPU's come bundled with hundreds of less-functional cores, and the CPU's will be there for legacy code and to handoff execution to the little cores. It'll take people years just to get past the psychology of 700Mhz*100cores < 500Mhz*200cores.

Ohh the drama..

We're on the way for that, take a lok at OpenCL and the compute shaders of D3D11 and, of course, AVX...
But you can't use the graphics card for everything...

Tbh i see that as a good thing. It means those old crappy coolers r good enough to keep these babies cool enough.

And like Gomeler said. AMDs stock coolers suck but Intels stock coolers arent any better. But then again its the main reason i havent used either in years. Even on builds for others i always spend the few bucks extra for a cheap ass AC Freezer.

I know this is just a joke, but you don't have to prove ANYTHING here.

now go home already I want to see more :D

edit: I know this is the geek in me, but I can't imagine sitting in front of this beast. It must be heaven. lol

OK, that's right
Also you don't need any new coolers for that socket.

That the TDP may not be higher than on a single processor socket system is something i don't like.
I was hoping AMD would go for about 200W but that seems to be a bit high and hard to cool...

So by this logics, I can say that Intel LGA775 is dual-socket since all the quads there are 2 dual-cores glued together? :rolleyes:

Yes, you may see it that way.

ok I think you are confused

this is a socket

http://techreport.com/r.x/dfi-855gme-mgf/socket479.jpg

this is a processor

http://www.pcgameshardware.com/scree...om-2-front.jpg

and here 4 cores on a die

http://elnexus.com/mail/07-09-barcelona.jpg

So on that motherboard theres 2 sockets

http://techreport.com/r.x/dfi-855gme-mgf/socket479.jpg http://techreport.com/r.x/dfi-855gme-mgf/socket479.jpg

2 processors

http://www.pcgameshardware.com/scree...om-2-front.jpg http://www.pcgameshardware.com/scree...om-2-front.jpg

and 12 cores on each processor, theres 2 processors, thats 24 cores, 2 processors and 2 sockets, there is not 4 sockets on this motherboard:wth:

Also just in case a die is not a socket

24 processing units. Not 4

2x12 core chips. that's 24 threads for processing with

..and he posted a picture of it past 3 ghz so you were even wrong about that 2ghz comment all this sparked from.

You guys have it all wrong.

I can't see the pick, it must be down. Can you upload it again please? I'm really interested to see that motherboard. :up:

BTW thanks for that awesome benchs.
