Power efficiency may be a paramount feature in consumer electronics, but who’s to say it’s not important in the PC space as well?

This sure sounds like good news to the high end gamers :)
From efficiency point of view our next mobos should be Quad SuperMicro's with four 16-core Opteron Opteron 6262 HE.
They need just 65(ACP)-85(TDP) Watt for those 16 cores. You can fill the mobo's with 512 Gb RAM (ECC Registered, Oké),
and it has a PCI-E (16) slot, so with a DDR3 HD 6670 it costs next to nothing to crunch 64 CPU WUs, 64 FreeHALs, 1 WuProp,
and -with the aid of a smart app_inbfo.xml- two GPU WUs= 131 processes at a time!
If I start saving now I may get enough money for a setup like that by the time CPUs have 64 cores instead of 16, and then a 4-socket mobo would yield 256 cores :icon_lol:
or wait for them to upgrade and buy the 16 core pulls that end up on ebay
Our Hong-Kong based members can already collect Quad 16-cores via ebay (saves $180 on the shipping)
you do know these are 4 quad cores (16), not 4 - 16 core (64)...
Argh! You are right. Still an impressive machine, but not so much as I thought it was.
AMDHorus can keep his/her money in his/her pockets.
You can say "HIS".Quote:

The story about his conception is a little bit deviant. :icon_mrgreen:
(Horus, that is, not AMDHorus. Otherwise he'd be running around smiting people and keeping today's journalists very busy indeed :icon_razz: )
i'll just hold out for cheap Trinitys and stack them on paper trays like S Starbuck ;)
Cheap Trinitys, so wait another 3 years?

When? 2Q2012 (A8 5500 and 5600, A10 5700 and 5800) 3Q2012 (A4 5300, A6 5400)
FM2 only? Yes, Trinity is a 904 pin CPU and uses a different pin-out as compared to the 905-pin Llano. The difference is subtle, but it is there.
Up to 2133? unclear, but very likely as Llano already can be set to use that memory-speed in overclock settings
On board Graphics: A10 HD 7660D, A8 HD 7560D, A6 HD 7540D, A4 7480D

Looking good those projections! Now I just wish they would come out twice as fast and cost only half of their usual ridiculous initial launch day cost. :)
EDIT: Yea... I know... not gonna happen :icon_razz:
