Note the pack date on the chips: ~ a little over one month ago. Trust me, these are the real deal....I'll post some screens when/if I ever get them to recognize correctly on my L1N64. They do, however, run fine on a few server-class boards but what fun is overclocking using registered ecc mem ?
Hi, if you are willing to run some benchmarks on these CPUs, I'd love to see how they go on the x264 MPEG4-AVC video encoder. There are some benchmark files at doom9.org that enable a standardised test (i.e. specific versions of x264 and the file to encode). See here:

I'm most interested in seeing how ONE Quad Core Opteron runs. There are some 2 x dual core opteron benchmarks at doom9.org that it can be compared against.



Thanks for your time.
