Intel Xeon 5600 Secures, Speeds Cloud Computing

@Saaya:
The 5650 is a 21 multi 6 core w/HT and under a grand .
Also to all, keep that L5640 in mind at $774.00
That's a hell of a chip and should do 4000 in a good X58 single socket board.
For the guys that want speed not power the X5677 is what you want.
27 multi, 3600 on turbo and that might run close to 5GHz on air.

Looking at the Table you posted, the 5620 actually HAS HT and other Features. This one seems to be the most interesting one, if it works on X58MB and is OC'able

yeah, but its almost 400$... but true, if the turbo multi is really that high, then thats ok... i just wonder how well they clock...

lol saaya negative as allways, intel always cuts features in the lowerend xeons, look up the 550x vs the 55x0. And the new 56x0 series is a direct replacement of the 55x0 series.

They new 56x0 have the same price as the old 55x0.

5620=5520
5630=5530

And with the 5650 you get a hexacore for the same price as the old 5550.

The only thing that is a bit different is the 56x7, which is a new product, guess its a slavaged hexacore.

well i didnt dream up 500$ hexa cores and 250$ 32nm quads... there were rumors/leaks mentioning those and the prices were really sweet...

Is NDA is over?

who cares...

Oh no. Just released new line of intel enterprise server chips are really expensive? It must mean yield problems. Yeah, that's it.

a few months ago they werent as crippled and didnt cost that much... there was supposed to be a 600$ hexa core at lower clocks for example, and a 32nm quad for 300$ or less...

It's Intel's decision, but i wish there was a 2.26-2.4 ghz hexa-core at 500-600 USD. I would buy it for sure.

well originally there was supposed to be one... no idea what ever happened to it... im pretty sure that original leak was reliable, hence my conclusion that intel might have worse than expected yields...

under a grand... but if you spend that much you might as well get the 980 and have unlocked multis...

5g on air? i find that hard to believe... intel had some 975 samples that did that as well, but the retail chips never got close to it...
well, for 1500$ it BETTER runs 5g... but even if it does, for that price it really doesnt make sense...

i thought intel would lower prices with 32nm... but all they do is reduce mfc costs and sell them for the same price as 45nm chips and make more money off of them, meh :/

in the end, intel managed to turn their xeon lineup into a pure server chip lineup again and no longer offers chips that might be interesting for overclockers... except for one or two models maybe... so i guess we will have to wait and pray that maybe they will release 32nm desktop quads after all :/
