yeah, that girl is too pale

Need full size non covered picture of your desktop, who gives a :banana::banana::banana::banana: about that I7...:D
Interesting...but useless because programmers are still stuck with most of the codes for dual core,so forget about 12threads...but looks so extreme :P
I can't fully agree with that. But for the most part, it's still true.
There's a "small", but substantial # of programmers who can use more cores and are begging for more - me included. :rofl:
More importantly, the increasing # of cores will force programmers to start getting their act together.
This is 3 chips on one board? How did you get a hold of gulftown chips this early?
both pics of the background and task manager = sexy almost too much for me to contain myself!
I can't say I fully agree with this, but we do still see quite a bit of laziness in the programming field. When I thread out code, I make it use as many cores as are available. Not everything can be processed in this fashion, however. Some times a process is just highly serial in nature, so it isn't fully fair to just blame the coders when programs seem to disappoint in this regard.
Ouch, me want!
Wanna see BOINC benchmark :D
thx for sharing! :D :toast:
hows the power consumption jc?
Ah jc, we missed you.
Glad your back, and even better with new stuff. :)
Yeap, this is the idea ...
And the different between them in the pics is obvious ... ;)
W5590 is this rite ...

holy crap! Nice going JC!
when does westmere hit retail market, and does it work in current x58 1366?
ohhhhhh man... pr0n!
this is what i've been waiting for! i'll dive into 1366 for this cpu! :D
Don't forget that these type of systems are meant for workstation type work loads which often leverage their power not only through multithreaded applications but often many single threaded applications. Also people who work / have a hobby in the A/V field will obviously appreciate these cpus.
Now not everyone I've spoke to agrees with me on this but I for one find both Linux and Windows Vista / 7 to be more responsive and smoother on a system with more than 2 cores. Now the difference between 2-3 is a lot more than the difference between 3-4 in terms of general system performance but I still can notice it. I had been running my E8400 at 4Ghz for about 8 months and I'm back on my Q6600 which is at 3.2Ghz ( I didn't find the benefits of the higher clock dual core to be tangible enough to make up for the loss of 2 cores ) and the system has felt quite a bit better in comparison ( and this is based on everyday tasks to more strenuous activities )
I'm holding off on any platform upgrades until I see where these chips end up sitting price wise. Looking forwards to see how 32nm scales power wise.
I LIKE !!!! *drools*
I gotta ask an as*hole question. Will there be a different Mobo chipset for this or will it stay X58?
DONT SHOW US 3DMARK06 or Vantage :D
not sure if 06 would scale past 8 cores but damn it lets see :D
wow....6 cores 12 threads coming to desktop?
Me wanty!
I can't wait to replace my E5520's with some of these :drool:
