Well as a noob. After reading the Nahalem pt 3.. that answers some of my questions. and yet pose's more. To summarise I am intereasted in the overall goal of intel before they release Larrabee, and the possible hardware changes/upgrades involved. Lacking tech knowledge, but obviously...

I understand the nvid 280 has about 140gig memory bandwidth. But was thinking that larabee would probably have a much larger path to its own local graphics memory, to measure up to nvid/ati It just seemed logical as they say larabee is going to be just a bunch 8086 cpu's. it would make...

So was thinking about how fast/efficient the CPU to CPU links are on the I7. So the QPI can do 12gig sec each way between CPU's. Each CPU can have its own memory. Its logical that Intel could treat the Larabee as a second CPU and hook it up to the QPI? That would give them a built in...

:beer: so After posting on I7 review. i though id try to consolidate in here. Firstly I/we want to know how the temp sensor works with phase change temps. and also can you get round the 130watt gimpness in the cpu. That lead me to speculate about the pin contacts on the top of the cpu...
