anyone can help me on this ?32nm i9 3.2G xeon need a bios !

[VictorWang]

tried on Gigabyte X58 extreme, Asus R2E, Intel S5520SC all with the lastest bios.

but...they can support up to Q3QQ 3.06G i9 Xeon , but my Q3QT 3.2G xeon been reg as 4cores 8threads 12mb cache 32nm

that's really bother me.
if anyone can help get a bios for that,
i'll show u this sexy baby 5Ghz 3DVantage on Air or maybe 6Ghz under LN2

cpu pic



overclk on Air w/o mounting
cpu running sooooo..........cool , much much better than i7/i5 .
45nm gonna retired, finnally an exciting product will come out worth for u to upgrade after 2years boring time.

Whats the problem? Q3QT is a 3.2GHz QuadCore

So you won´t get more cores with other bios

Isn't Q3QT westmere 6 core?
and I got Victor a bios for his X8DAL-3 SM board yesterday..

[Chri$ch]

No, Q3QT is a Westmere QuadCore (4C/8T - 12MB L3)!

[Movieman]

No, Q3QT is a Westmere QuadCore (4C/8T - 12MB L3)!

That's news to me. I didn't know they had a quad 32mn and oh..ahh..ahem..
Someone better tell Victor because he thinks he has 6 core chips there!

[zalbard]

That's news to me. I didn't know they had a quad 32mn and oh..ahh..ahem..

Same.
Maybe they'll be more affordable then?
Perhaps I can afford a Gulftown then...

[VictorWang]

@.@ if it's 4cores chip, why it has 12mb cache ?
intel changed structure ?

[Chri$ch]

maybe its a hexacore with deactivated (defect) Cores?! but its definitely a QuadCore!

outch!!!

so you can do vantage at 5GHz victor or are you just hoping it can do that

[PytonOrm]

3MB of L3 Cache per cores otherwise 12MB and 6 cores gives only 2MB per cores


Hi mate haved tryed bios 0077 for rampage II extreme ? mabe it will fix your problem

i can send it to you just send me a Pm and your email !

[Chri$ch]

There is no problem, this CPU is to 100% a QuadCore.

You can´t unlock the cores as on AMD CPUs

And bios 1639 is newer as 0077 (btw there are also newer beta bios)

[PytonOrm]

What ? i never heard Intel will release Westmere at Quadcore 4/8 Threads and 12MB cache of L3 and 32nm teqnology and for desktop and socket 1366 ?
just 6 cores i heard and 12 Threads and etc. or what we missed info

[Chri$ch]

Its not for "desktop"! Its a DP (Dual-Socket) Xeon

for desktop is only the extreme edition (and this is a hexacore).

[VictorWang]

outch!!!

so you can do vantage at 5GHz victor or are you just hoping it can do that

lol， 1.47v 5Ghz on Air, 3Dmark vantage, easy as much like eating a pencake

[jcool]

Ah, another Q3QT. Maybe people will finally start believing me that there are 32nm Quads

[H2O]

Its not for "desktop"! Its a DP (Dual-Socket) Xeon

for desktop is only the extreme edition (and this is a hexacore).

Any possiblity of it working on current single socket X58s (i.e. Classified) with a BIOS update?

[Chri$ch]

EVGA Bios support sucks, as i know its only support Q3QP (3.07GHz XE) and Q3FE (2.4GHz XE) CPUs.

On other Boards (Asus, Gigabyte etc) they work without problems with latest (beta) bios.

[Sam_oslo]

I have been expecting a 4(8) core 32nm for a while. This is great news, will be cheap too, i expect.

[Chri$ch]

cheap? i don´t think so! look how much a DP Xeon (Gainestown) cost

2.67GHz = ~770€
2.80GHz = ~850€
2.93GHz = ~1090€
3.20GHz = ~1250€
3.33GHz = ~1300€

[Sam_oslo]

I see, that wasn't cheap, but that's the price for Gainestown. Lets hope we get one of these 4C/8T 32nm for lets say $280? just a wild guess tho, crossing figures.

[Chri$ch]

No, you won´t see such cheap 32nm Quad/Hexacore CPUs!

DP Xeons are expensive, and Westmeres are not cheaper as Gainestowns! The only cheap Xeons are the single Socket CPUs (like your W3520), but there no single socket Westmere Xeons planned (as i know)

[Sam_oslo]

You may be right, and it sounds logical based on the current condition, too. But all this can change very fast depending on the next AMD-CPU (or even a good PR move with some good noise).

AMD have been very aggressive on pricing the Quads lately (you can get one for about $100?), but the performance gap is still there. Intel can not (maybe will not) compete on price with AMD. Therefore have been keeping a performance gap to AMD Quads all the time. Intel's 45nm Quads will soon (if not already) loose on price/performance to AMD.

If the next AMD-move can get the performance-gap a bit closer to 45nm Quads, then Intel won't have any choice than dropping a few "cheap" 32nm Quads to maintain a good performance gap to AMD. Then we are looking at about $205+/- price range. But the next AMD-move remains to be seen. Crossing figures

Hi Victor,


Q3QT is 6 core Core i9 Xeon. I suggest you get a beta BIOS recommendation from the seller that you bought from him. The Q3QT is a bit limitation from Q3QQ where you can google it and find the difference.

[dinos22]

lol, 1.47v 5Ghz on Air, 3Dmark vantage, easy as much like eating a pencake

haha crazy man

looks like it might be a 6core chip from a tip above if this new mystrious member is right

i hope it is for your sake Vic

[HDCHOPPER]

Hummmmmmm 6 core goodness hope you get bios soon Victor
