excuse me while I clean up this pool of drool on my desk

Do you even know what you are drooling over?

same thing im drooling over..

looks like gigabyte, i prefer supermicro however, is taking a share on the server market.

that looks like a neha server board with 8 dimm slots and pci-x slots. Also the A1 neha debug cpu with the ports on the edges to debug it. Abit its kinda slow...

Most likely something im gonna get when i create my 16core goodness next year.
 
Benching a debug model is pretty much a complete waste of time and effort.

Who knows what they have fused off to make the chip functional. The 1GHz clock is very telling that it needed some crippling in order to function.

It is confidence building though that the debug stage has reached this level of visibility. We could be looking at a launch in 6 months.

I still don't understand what Intel's motivation is to cannibalize their Penryn sales in exchange for Nehalem sales. Server markets, sure I get that, but desktop? What's the motivation?
 
Well, Bloomfield will come in Q4 2008, but mainstream nehalem wont appear until Q1 2009, so Penryn has 9 months to sell (12 months if you count that the QX9650 came out Q4 2007).

That seems like a pretty good window for an architecture, having an architecture on the computer market for longer than 12 months seems like sandbagging *cough* nvidia *cough*

But with AMD so far behind there is a seed of truth in what you said.

he said its 1M, but that seems kinda slow even for 1GHz clock speed.

Well, intel has completely revamped its line to use an IMC so I would expect it to be a slow start (in many ways).

Yeah. Debug pins....

but this won't be out for a while. They'll have plenty of time to sell their Penryn, then there will be a delay because of "technical difficulties" of not having competition, then a late release to sell off all of their Penryn stock. Then we'll have servers, and it will trickle down to desktop later on. Then Intel+IMC will == 😀ROOL:
 
Don't put any worry in the whole horrible SuperPi time and low clockspeed, that happens with all very early chips they are just trying to get something that works, nto something thats gonna be breaking any records at this point. It will still be several months before an ES chip actually makes it out into the wild that is able to get up to full speed.
