AMD Dodeca-core

hah you wish. The TDP on 90nm at that point in time was way too ty for that... (unlike now where.. space and perf concerns aside, a 2.6Ghz 90nm K8 could be MCMd and be within an acceptable TDP)

You won't see octocore shanghai until 45nm K10 is mature enough to allow sub 65watt TDP/core..

yeh I guess you're right for a higher end part...

I mean it's not like the chip could run at 2Ghz or so and 1V

no that'd never be feasible.

no never.

there is no way that two chips running at <50W each would fit within an acceptable thermal envelope

nope no way

Who here is first in line to get some engineering samples?

Server Division - I doubt it has a huge importance for most of you guys, but hey - you need a server to run most MMORPG. ^^

Sure some of us will use it, especially those folks who love Crysis LOL!

don't forget virtualization performance, which I admit only matters to a specialized part of the market but will become more and more important as the years go along.

nice

you didn't think that the C64 could do that? I've seen people running web servers on their Amiga 600s with 1MB of ram.

It's only Windows and Mac os that's slow (like nn more or less states so well in his sign).

Ontopic. I like the AMD server platform better than Intels because of the dimm standard is ecc-reg and not FB-dimm (power hungry) as Intel have.

I'm looking forward to build a workstation around a AMD server board with an actual AMD chipset (Never ever again a Nvidia chipet!).
