Intel to Detail 8-core Nehalem-EX Processor Next Week

Melvis · May 20, 2009

To expensive, to much power usage, to much heat build up id say to? and who is going to use these realy? The FBI or ARMY? and dont you need a whole new mobo for this as well?

At half the price, I would pick this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131378

(~$260, common price for "mid-range" Core i7 boards).

I was looking for the multiple 16x slots of the other board. They really know how to gouge for those things, don't they? lol.

It's just not worth it.
-5x lower multiplier
-twice the motherboard price because I need three PCIe slots
-CPU does not have HT
-Registered RAM - biggest concern
-Does it even support SLi?
-Can you even overclock on a server motherboard?

So, I'd have (at best) 8 threads @ 3.0Ghz. I would be better off with 8 threads where half are logical @ 4.0Ghz and half the price.

moar!
because moar!

i want i7 with 8 cores

What?! 9000?!

THATS IMPOSSIBLE!

lol at SLI and OC support. they're servers, those two arent neccesary.

That's the cheapest 2-socket board out there :laugh:

the one you're looking for will be in the ~$600 price-range. Good luck finding one. Also the 3.20 GHz Xeon is priced at $1600 a chip.

One man.

Pappy: What kind of computer power does ray tracing take in respect to the standard game graphics of something like Quake Wars?

Daniel Pohl: For Quake Wars: Ray Traced we have our 24-core machine as mentioned above and get between 20 and 35 fps at a resolution of 1280x720. This is also a good time to point out that real-time ray tracing for games is still in the research phase. We don't expect people going out today and buying these kind of server machines to play QWRT on it. But as the hardware power and the number of cores increase over time we expect there to be a point in the future where people could run real-time ray traced games on their desktop systems.

I'm sure a new 4P/32C/64T monster is on it's way to him. If memory performance on his old Dunnington setup was a problem before, it hopefully won't be one now.

These would be awsome servers... you could virtualise most enterprises setups on a single box.... makes me lick my lips just thinking about it.

And honestly this makes me want to consider building a dual i7 Worrkstation machine again.... this is bad... especially when I have money to burn :respect:

No, dude. That's not fair.

Fix it.

To quote someone with the same pessimism as you:

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." —Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943.

There's bound to be lots of people who will use it, and if they use it, it will become more mainstream and that's how technology progress! Would you rather keep your current cpu for the rest of your life?? :rolleyes:
