Two Socket Nehalem-EP: Pics & Action

[Sampsa]

Some pics and info about upcoming Nehalem-EP (Xeon) CPUs to servers:

These are dedicated to Movieman



I received a pic of Foxconn Nehalem-EP motherboard (codename: Tylersburg) which is a two LGA1366 socket system.





Here is a Nehalem-EP system in action in IDF Fall 2008 with 144 GB of DDR3 memory using MetaRAM technology which works by stacking up to four times more DRAM chips onto the module. A special chipset is required on the module. Windows Task Manager displays 16 CPUs (8C/16T).

The MetaRAM chipset works transparently, seen as a memory controller to the on-DIMM DRAM, yet seen by the system’s memory controller as DRAM. The chipset is then able to route the reads and writes appropriately between the DRAMs and memory controller, in an out-of-order execution, allowing the memory to still operate at standard frequency.

November will be intresting on desktop and server side

Now show me dual socket Nehalem with PCI-E x16 slots


I have a feeling I know where my money is going this holiday season

[Kondik]

JESUS ! I think I found my new toy for folding ... It's amazing
if it had 2 x PCIE i'd get it 150%

That stuff about SkyNET is starting to make alot of sense now.

[clonez]

DAMN!

that system is gonna be SO expensive (yet cheaper than nowaday sytems with same performance, of course)

absolutely folders dream, me wants 5 of those

movieman hasn't posted yet, he must have fainted

[naokaji]

movieman hasn't posted yet, he must have fainted

he's obtaining quote's for a kidney atm

whats that blue plastic thing on the board in the first pic?

dual socket nehalem? hmm... expensive, but so tempting to have it crunch.

[DelaMaris]

That's SOME POWER!!

[pmp]

And where the Foxconn MB suppose to have any PCIe ?

[Levish]

And where the Foxconn MB suppose to have any PCIe ?

its along the bottom i believe, intended to be used with a riser to change card orientation 90 degree's for 1U server chassis maybe

[BulldogPO]

Any pics more?

am I the only one who doesn't know what "EP" stands for?

[MarlboroMan]

sexy board!

order 2 for me

[[XC] hipno650]

this is all well and nice but will there be a nehalem skulltrail replacement. i want 2 nehalem's but i want them overclocked with the latest in GPU's.

I think it is: Efficient performance

[Strafe]

Engineering Prototype?

[Calmatory]

EP= Epic Performance.

[Kondik]

Epic Price

Either his dead from shock/pleasure/excitement or he instantly had to change shorts when he saw the title. ^^

Wow that is some serious power...

This server stuff doesn't usually impress me...

i mean 4 years ago a pretty sick server had 4 cores and 8gb of memory... now i feel like i could run google's search engine for an entire nation off of one of these boxes.. (ok a little dramatic, but still damn.)

I mean this will have double the IPC of most pc's and be 16x better at multitasking, at double ipc... haha.

[Xoulz]

Scary....

Yup, 260W for 8C/16T is what Intel will call Efficient. Still, makes my 8C/8T Opteron server cry.

[Sly Fox]

Isn't the EP just "Enterprise?"

I mean, that's what I always assumed.
