i7 Xeon Turbo mode. +1x or +2x?

[Acanthus]

I was wondering if anyone knows definitively if the "Xeon" versions of the i7s get +2x on the multiplier in turbo mode vs +1x on the consumer level i7s.

Aigo mentioned that he *THOUGHT* it was 2x, but he is unsure.

the 2x QPI's

not 1 x QPI's

Meaning the xeons for DP boards.

he's not talking about QPI, he's talking about turbo mode, which changes the clock multiplier.

edit: sigh nevermind. i get what you're trying to say, but it's not that simple either. All 1156 xeons feature turbo mode. The cheap 1366 Xeons with dual QPI (E5502 to E5506) do not have turbo mode. 1S Xeons like the W3520 only have 1 QPI link, but they do have turbo, and the L-series have turbo. all the becktons have turbo.

if you simply type in the model number of the xeon you're looking for, intel's website will tell you "how high" they can turbo.

No im saying the XEON's which have 2 x QPI are the ones i saw with a +2 multi.

LoL...

^ this... and u see that the 2 x QPI Xeons have a +2 turbo.

Ugh, the 2x QPI xeons are usually the retardedly high priced ones.
