How Many Cores?!?!?!

[chew*]

Hi all,
Just arrived in Europe today. I had a few friends link me to articles questioning the validity of my screenshots - if they are fake or not. In no way shape or form is anything I've posted EVER been fake Here's a peek at the board:

When I get back, I'll prove without a doubt this setup is the real deal

I would not worry myself about it......Prolly just jealous that they didn't get to debut the chips

[Tomasis]

That's a little low for a quad core system.
I was hoping to see 2.4GHz at least but at least there is hope for more.

If you're back, try something to bring the NB Clock up.

And interessting to see that it seems that AMD uses the same (crappy) Coolers they use since they broght the socket 754 and 940...

haha make 3x4 and again 2x the result 24 cores.. amazing math

from a quad core.. triple and double, at other words :p

[Stefan Payne]

Have you used an Intel stock heatsink yet? AMD's heatsinks are a huge step upwards in quality

Yes, used an old E6600 Heatsink and some older S478 Things...
But you're right, the AMD Heatpipe Sinks ain't that bad, they even had one really good version with 80mm fan.

Stefan Payne:lol man, do u read this thread? This CPU is not Quadcore, but 12-core Magny Course...Go back to page one and read! ,-)

Sorry, meant Quad Socket/Dice...

[WSP]

and it is not a quad socket either lol

its dual socket

[Stefan Payne]

That depends on the point of view.
It's a dual socket but 4 processor system (maximum is 4 socket).

I don't see what the controversy is.. 8 cores are on the horizon, it only makes sense that a bit over the horizon you've got 12 and 16 cores.

But I think the era of the CPU is coming to an end, It won't be that long before CPU's come bundled with hundreds of less-functional cores, and the CPU's will be there for legacy code and to handoff execution to the little cores. It'll take people years just to get past the psychology of 700Mhz*100cores < 500Mhz*200cores.

Ohh the drama..

[Stefan Payne]

We're on the way for that, take a lok at OpenCL and the compute shaders of D3D11 and, of course, AVX...
But you can't use the graphics card for everything...

[Starscream]

And interessting to see that it seems that AMD uses the same (crappy) Coolers they use since they broght the socket 754 and 940...

Tbh i see that as a good thing. It means those old crappy coolers r good enough to keep these babies cool enough.


And like Gomeler said. AMDs stock coolers suck but Intels stock coolers arent any better. But then again its the main reason i havent used either in years. Even on builds for others i always spend the few bucks extra for a cheap ass AC Freezer.

[JAWS]

When I get back, I'll prove without a doubt this setup is the real deal

I know this is just a joke, but you don't have to prove ANYTHING here.

now go home already I want to see more

edit: I know this is the geek in me, but I can't imagine sitting in front of this beast. It must be heaven. lol

[Stefan Payne]

Tbh i see that as a good thing. It means those old crappy coolers r good enough to keep these babies cool enough.

OK, that's right
Also you don't need any new coolers for that socket.

That the TDP may not be higher than on a single processor socket system is something i don't like.
I was hoping AMD would go for about 200W but that seems to be a bit high and hard to cool...

[Smartidiot89]

That depends on the point of view.
It's a dual socket but 4 processor system (maximum is 4 socket).

So by this logics, I can say that Intel LGA775 is dual-socket since all the quads there are 2 dual-cores glued together?

[Stefan Payne]

Yes, you may see it that way.

[Foamy]

Yes, you may see it that way.

indeed.

[Titan7171]

Yes, you may see it that way.

ok I think you are confused

this is a socket



this is a processor



and here 4 cores on a die



So on that motherboard theres 2 sockets



2 processors



and 12 cores on each processor, theres 2 processors, thats 24 cores, 2 processors and 2 sockets, there is not 4 sockets on this motherboard

Also just in case a die is not a socket

[Jowy Atreides]

That depends on the point of view.
It's a dual socket but 4 processor system (maximum is 4 socket).

24 processing units. Not 4

2x12 core chips. that's 24 threads for processing with

..and he posted a picture of it past 3 ghz so you were even wrong about that 2ghz comment all this sparked from.

[[XC] gomeler]

You guys have it all wrong.

This is a socket.



and this is a processor.

[Titan7171]

I gots me 15 sockets

[EniGmA1987]

I really LOLed at that one...

[EnJoY]

I gots me 15 sockets

I count 10 sockets and one really big LIAR!

[[XC] leviathan18]

nice to have you bak Mr s7e9h3n

[Titan7171]

I count 10 sockets and one really big LIAR!

It was advertised as 15..........picture does not represent actual item!

[ajaidev]

So do u all mean that

This is a socket



and that this is a processor



Or are they fruit??

I can't see the pick, it must be down. Can you upload it again please? I'm really interested to see that motherboard.

BTW thanks for that awesome benchs.

....And some really interesting new here?
