Eight-core Intel Sandy Bridge-E processor makes Ebay appearance

[red1776]

I wonder if tech haiku would give me cross-credit in my Head Chef's Sensitivity Training diploma?....hopefully so, I've been stuck on 0 credits for the last twenty-five years.

:haha:

I think Chef....like me, you are the 'before' picture.

The chip is unlocked.

The chip is unlocked.

And?
An early ES often has an unlocked multi- it's easier than sending out half a dozen different chips. Although just because the eBay listing says it is probably isn't the best way of judging this. Since the guy can't spell the platforms name (its Patsburg not Platsburg) and doesn't know that LGA2011 supports DDR3-1333 (rather than -1066) or TXT (Trusted Execution Technology*) I'd be inclined to think he's not the best source of reliable information.

20MB of L3 cache is very good(for desktops), but a clock speed of 1.6GHz...........its slower than a pentium 4!

It's an engineering chip. It wont be released at that clock.

its slower than a pentium 4

?? clock wise what wasn't? The P-4 Prescott HT 670,674, 570, 570J were released at 3.8Ghz The fastest ever stock frequency (clock wise) I think.

** I'm sure if not...Chef will tell me what was:wave:

Ah that’s mean 2x8=16 threads. Really cool!
Ehhm but now I think it twice I think it wouldn’t be so cool without water cool system

I should have taken the hint..."Zen" , of course!

I'm just a tad bit curious here, and sorry to go a little off topic, but is there something wrong with my name? It's no real biggy, I get a little razed about my nick name "Zen" at both my temple and at my dojo, where I'm in my 6th year specializing in both "hand to hand" and "Japanese swordsmanship".

Oh well, just was curious! Again no real biggy!

Don't recognise the setup for a joke then?¹
Looks like Monday's can't come soon enough for me ²

That seems a little extreme -totally demolishing someone because of a nickname. I'd say you could benefit from hanging out with a more sensitive crowd of budding ninja's.....unless you're being ironic, then well played!

I knew more than likely this was all being done, or setting itself up for humor! :haha:

And about hanging with a non sensitive crowd, you are pretty much right, they are a bunch of serious dingle heads. But I guess I get razed due to the fact I'm the "new guy", even after 6 years I'm still the nooB. My dojo is a closed access dojo, meaning you only get accepted and trained by invitation or being a family member to an already established member of both temple or dojo. I lucked out, I'm the outsider, I was allowed in and to be trained due to who I knew, not because I was family or anything.

Glad to see that things on TechSpot are more lite hearted, glad to see some funny stuff and I guess I will have to be more open when either I'm being set up or I set myself up to be subjected to humor.

Now back to the show......................

Yup. That's about it for the desktop/workstation space.

IBM's Power7 is 4GHz stock (4.14GHz max.), but it doesn't have a hell of a lot in common with desktop. 32 x 8 core (@ 4 threads per core = 1024 thread) modules, 800 watts per 8-core module (25.6kW)
