AMD Bulldozer server info

[JPQY]

Well here a link..from the moment the core 2 duo came out have we in the chess world already a 2048core chess engine!

Think there are more people who use software who needs more cores.There will be never enough cores.

In the chess world we are very happy to see these multi core cpu's..most have between 4 & 6 cores systems..and looking forward to see the Bulldozer in action!

Ask him, if only two memory channels are enough to feed 8 cores with data. Thuban stopps scaling at 4 cores and beyond. (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ng,2652-4.html , last table)

I guess it's okay, since situations where memory bandwidth saturation might happen are rather uncommon. And a 980X saturates pretty fast too. (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ng,2663-4.html , last table).

Been wondering nevertheless.

the memory channels will do just fine
