    How is this possible - 8 PCIe x16 slots in a 2CPU mobo?

    Thanks! Anyone have an idea where these motherboards are sold separately (not in barebone) - especially interested in the Tyan as it is newer generation. Google does no help. Or should I contact Tyan directly?

    How is this possible - 8 PCIe x16 slots in a 2CPU mobo?

    1. I see that both Supermicro and Tyan have 2CPU motherboards with 8 PCIe x16 slots (plus a few smaller ones). How is this possible when the E5-2600 v2 and v3, respectively, have 40 lanes per CPU for 80 total? The Supermicro motherboard comes in two pieces and is X9 version for the E2600v2...

    E5-2600 v3 TSX - when will they fix it?

    Thanks! In that link it says: Could someone that has a system with the new E5-2600 series processors, please confirm that server-grade motherboards, like the Supermico's X10 series, have an option in BIOS to enable TSX (for development purposes), please. I checked the manual for one of them and...

    E5-2600 v3 TSX - when will they fix it?

    I asked about this in another forum but wanted to check here too to see if anyone knows more. Intel found a bug in the TSX implementation of their E5-2600 v3 line and disabled it in BIOS. Here is a quote from the end of this review of the product line: Do you think intel will keep...

    E5-2600 v3 CMT and CAT - which SKUs?

    Thanks for the link, Burpo! What I gathered from that review is: 1. All SKUs support Cache Monitoring (CMT) - your link above to page 4 2. As far as Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) - it is enabled only on 5 specific SKUs, optimized for communications - page 3: and more info about that...

    E5-2600 v3 CMT and CAT - which SKUs?

    I have a hard time finding out which particular processors (SKUs) of the E5-2600 v3 range support the Cache Monitoring (CMT) and Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) features. On the 4th page of the Anandtech's review - the magic inside uncore , section "More improvements" near the bottom, it says...
