New cpus from AMD and Intel

Blackheath,

I still have it running at stock voltage on a Asus p5b deluxe mb. I have plenty of noisy fans in it though, thats why I'm anxious to put the WC on it. yep, its a pretty amazing cpu for the low cost.

Not bad as long as you have a large supply of liquid nitrogen around to cool it with.

Only uses 60W, so doubt it would get very hot. Just a standard CPU cooler would do. 512 cores, 512 billion floating point operations! I wonder if these could be applied to GFX cards?

I am saying very little except to follow the link:

Yeah well this is not impressive. What is amd smoking with this smoke and mirrors release. This is just a duel socket mb holding 2 dual core cpu's, that is said to be upgradable to a real quad core when they decide to release it sometime next year. If I wanted that today with AMD cpu's, I'd just by a tyan mb that holds duel or quad cpu opterons. If I wanted that today in a Intel cpu, I'd just buy a mb that held 2 duel core Xeons 5130.
