    Beckton is supposed to be 8 core,32nm and just 2 socket and up..
    Gulftown should work in single and dual socket 1366 boards if what I hear is correct with just a bios update.

    What's the matter with 16 threads?

    on crown x86 performance...yes
    price is a whole different game... beckton will be expensive like hell.. and is actually aiming to get some unix marketshare.

    perhaps you should talk to some Intel PR, they reach out to each company that uses unix boches to provide additional free services and hardware for conversion to x86.

    That isn't anything to be happy about considering its a workstation chip which usually have TDPs 20-30W less than desktop chips.

    All Bloomfield based Xeon's have 130w TDP just like the desktop i7's.

    This only changes with Gainestown whose X55xx has a tdp of 95w
    Coming Soon

    As far as I know Beckton is made on 45 nm, is based on Nehalem and will have 24 MB of L3 cache. It's meant for 4 to 8 socket systems.

    Correct but I was reading one of Intels handouts and it said from "2 socket to 8 socket" systems..

    Beckton is indeed 45nm (apparently will move to 32nm at the end of 2010). What I want to see is a version of Beckton that is 32nm, and is drop in compatible with existing Socket 1366 DP boards (with the requisite BIOS update of course). Unneutered, with the full amount of L3 cache as the MP version...

    ....and unlocked multipliers too....
    Server: HP Proliant ML370 G6, 2x Xeon X5690, 144GB ECC Registered, 8x OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS 240GB on LSi 9265-8i (RAID 0), 12x Seagate Constellation ES.2 3TB SAS on LSi 9280-24i4e (RAID 6) and dual 1200W redundant power supplies.
    Gamer: Intel Core i7 6950X@4.2GHz, Rampage Edition 10, 128GB (8x16GB) Corsair Dominator Platinum 2800MHz, 2x NVidia Titan X (Pascal), Corsair H110i, Vengeance C70 w/Corsair AX1500i, Intel P3700 2TB (boot), Samsung SM961 1TB (Games), 2x Samsung PM1725 6.4TB (11.64TB usable) Windows Software RAID 0 (local storage).
    Beater: Xeon E5-1680 V3, NCase M1, ASRock X99-iTX/ac, 2x32GB Crucial 2400MHz RDIMMs, eVGA Titan X (Maxwell), Samsung 950 Pro 512GB, Corsair SF600, Asetek 92mm AIO water cooler.
    Server/workstation: 2x Xeon E5-2687W V2, Asus Z9PE-D8, 256GB 1866MHz Samsung LRDIMMs (8x32GB), eVGA Titan X (Maxwell), 2x Intel S3610 1.6TB SSD, Corsair AX1500i, Chenbro SR10769, Intel P3700 2TB.

    Thanks for the help (or lack thereof) in resolving my P3700 issue, FUGGER...

    What's the matter with 16 threads?

    How did you get it to do only the Childhood Cancer project and block other programs? I'm ok with all the WCG projects except for Nutritious Rice.. I do not want to waste my electricity folding for some miraculous strain of rice that we will never use anyways. Here in America, we still use Crisco (pure trans fat), BHT, and hydrogenated oils (standardized peanut butter), etc.. and I do not see any point in spending so much energy on a miracle rice that would have been better spent on going for a variety of foods (greens, especially broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc..)

    --two awesome rigs, wildly customized with
    5.1 Sony speakers, Stereo 3D, UV Tourmaline Confexia, Flame Bl00dr4g3 Fatal1ty
    --SONY GDM-FW900 24" widescreen CRT, overclocked to:
    2560x1600 resolution at 68Hz!(from 2304x1440@80Hz)
