Chris Ram, the reviewer for Tweaktown (unless I got it wrong). The other TT staff that are also TPU members, I know so far is Lars Nilsson aka TheLostSwede, and Navin Maini the news guy. He's done news for TPU too.

Wow, so that's all we gotta do to get some noteriety and adoration from BT?

Big up for internet fame!

I had to 'lol' at these prices.

Yup, fame that's earned. Do something worthwhile/constructive to have people appreciate you. Pretty simple.

8 sockets? holy crap.. that'd be a 32 cored server :O

whena re teh 6 core bits coming out, or thats intel?

You can accomplish something the scale of what 4x Opteron 8xxx achieve with F@H (SMP) using a single GeForce GTX 280 (CUDA).

not if you have multiple 8xxx CPU's which was what i was refering to

Yep, it is me, I run hang around here from time to time. TPU is a chill place and there aren't a lot of know it all 15 year olds running around dropping their unimformed knowledge to the masses.

Hey that's 16.

Hmmm, I think this will handle Crysis I dunno.....

That's what I'm referring to as well 4x quad-core chips.

A Core 2 Duo E8400 is almost on-par with a Core 2 Extreme QX9650 at Crysis. This 16-core setup won't benefit Crysis at all.

Chris_Ramseyer · Nov 3, 2008

Crysis can barely use two core much less four or sixteen. The truth is that for 98% of people two cores is all you need. Ask any game developer, they will tell you that the language for this stuff isn't even close yet. Carmack talked about it at Quakecon and said we are years away.

eidairaman1 · Nov 3, 2008

beyond that these chips are aimed at servers anyway, if you want a Server Chip, 2 Options- Server Motherboard or a Opteron 1 way CPU.

Chris_Ramseyer · Nov 3, 2008

I would have to disagree with that statement. Workstations play a significant role in the market. To be honest a statment like that could only come from someone who has never used the full capacity of their dual or quad core system. Not that I use my "duallys" to their fullest 99% of the time, it is nice when editing down family videos and other processor intensive applications (that can take advantage of them). For businesses where time is truly money these systems can reel target completion dates in and allow the company to offer a faster service to their customers.

eidairaman1 · Nov 3, 2008

what i was getting at is server is a general term for multi CPU configs, meaning it also includes "WorkStations"

Yep -- that's the reason why I haven't bothered to upgrade to a quad-core Phenom, even though I could. A dual-core will be more than enough for years.

Chris_Ramseyer · Nov 3, 2008

I love this video from AMD. It has a lot of marketing FUD but it has some good info about servers for people that really have no idea what is going on in these big boxes.

NinkobEi · Nov 3, 2008

why are the chips so expensive? just because they can network with each other on the same motherboard well? surely they arent much more powerful than a q6600, albeit made of higher quality materials...

Chris_Ramseyer · Nov 3, 2008

Why is a Ducati so much money, a Ferrari, Windows?

Because people will pay it.

Actually the official word sounds something more like, because of the extensive amount of R&D and product testing that is involved.

Becasue people will pay it.

in the computer world that doesnt make much sense...the goal is generally best performance for the least dollar ammount..after all, no one who accesses your website will see your server's processor

Chris_Ramseyer · Nov 3, 2008

Good point but our low cost desktop processors are priced lower because these are priced so much higher. Intel does the same thing with their Xeon processors. Honesly, do you think any of these are any different than our desktop procs? It is my opinion that they are all made the same and features are turned off and not the other way around. <----I get in trouble every time I say that.

This is the way it has been for a long time. Think of it as the Obama Way to processor "spread the wealth". If you are a company and you make XXXXXXX amount of Dollars you are going to pay more.
