    Sneak Peek into the future

    ... of crunching
    We already got machines that can do 40-50k PPD, so what's next?

    Well how about this




    Now where is that 2nd chip

    Many thanks go out to Jamie (TheKarmakazi) for hooking me up for cheap with this wonderful motherboard, Dave (Movieman) for calling Supermicro to get me a working bios (I know, the poor bastards at SM tech support ) and of course to the person supplying the CPUs for making this happen.

    Glad to help my friend..
    Rumor has it that the entire staff at Supermicro should have their new hearing aids installed by next week..
    As to why it's stock, it's because we haven't found a way to OC the thing yet.

    And what do you know, Tyan emailed me this morning, with a new bios for the S7002 - so now I have TWO Westmere-capable DB boards, whereas yesterday I had none



    Here it is, in the Tyan

    And it booted right up, Turbo working

    Specifically for you, running prime NOT at stock



    Bad news: Board freezes at 135,7 mhz (even earlier than with the Gainestowns) --> chipset issue

    Good news: Turbo is implemented correctly, the CPU holds a 24x mult even when fully loaded

    The problem with following XS is that I'll always be a step behind, lol.

    Can't wait to see DP up and running, jcool.

    Don't feel bad.. when it gets to DP i9 I think everyone is. I haven't seen one up and running, anywhere. And I doubt there is. So this is exciting

    Why would he go back to quad for Sandy Bridge... sure it's twice as fast, but it can't compete with say - an octo core Sandy Bridge.

    And thanks for the shot jcool... not quite what I ment, but good for now.
    (do me a favor while you're at it - replace Prime with WCG... Love to see those points!)

    I ran prime for exactly one minute, to take the shot and test how the turbo modes behave - not much sense in priming a stock CPU is there

    Some serious tests/benches tomorrow, if the postman delivers

    I just asked a question, not said I had one.
    Never even seen the board or cpu's..yet..
    BUT had a PM today that made me think that this might be possible.
    More news as I get more info..
    My friend, I'll be damned happy just to get my dual Gulftown working by the end of this week if the *&*()&*(%^ cpu's ever show up!

    Haha, oh i know you never said you had one... but there are a few ppl on here I wouldn't put it past, and you're one of them my friend.

    (I can see you... "They're due out in 2010? Why don't I have them yet... Let me call up Bill Marks. Give him a talkin to..." And a week later. Voila! )

    And that 128 thread beast I posted a few months ago - all that was were the first engineering tests of these placed in an 8 socket board... (8x8 with HT) So it's plausable if nothing else.
