Socket 1567 Xeon Nehalem-EX

[JF-AMD]

I'm not sure if Nehalem ex will support it, but Intel showed a technology that allows them to shut down some of their memory risers.

The system had 512 GB of RAM in 8 memory risers.

They shut down half the ram and decreased power consumption from 1000 watts to 900.

So if I do the math right, you're saying that 256GB = 100W. So if they shut down the rest of the memory, that would be 800W for CPUs, fans, power and a drive or two?

Wow, that is a power-hungry CPU.
