1. When are you getting one.

2. You are gonna start this lot off again.

I like

CPUs are going to be bloody expensive though, wish they could do this with sandy bridge.

 

[derk]

If all my rigs had these fully populated my electricity bill would be even more horrific than it already
is ..........but I would like one anyway, looks awesome

 

[Biffa]

Nice

Think I'll stick to G34, uses the same leccy as my SR2 but more than double the output.

Not much difference in price either.

Maybe with the 8 core 16 thread E5 Xeons it might start to catch the MagnyCours.. but I imagine they will be mucho dinero

 

[ToxicTBag]

Hmmmm might be time to put my "mug santa" plans into operation i realise now more than ever the real output comes from cpu power rather than gpu, be curious to see what 36/48 cores could output for seti even though the outlay would be a killer the savings on electricity could pay for it in say 2 years

I want one... several questions though! I think this and the E5-2650 will be the sweet spot, but can we overclock Xeon CPUs?

E-ATX... will that fit in a Corsair 650D? It's a big case but I'm thinking no.

Do I see 2 8-pin ATX connectors and 3 6-pin PCI-E connectors on that board? That's 225W + the ATX stuff just for the motherboard

Why oh Why cant we havea dual socket board that doesnt require Xeons!!!!

Source states sandy bridge-E

How much do you think this will cost? Tempted to save up for one for a killer crunching rig

depends on which project you are going for

Einstein/seti/MilkyWay are definately gpu based for real output whereas folding at home seems to be cpu based???

Why whats wrong with Xeons?

Sandybridge-E Xeons, it will also support a single Sandy-E i7 but not two.

Cost.. probably around 3-4K with middle of the road chips.

 

[Strife212]

Could put 7 graphics cards in it too

Ok, well... bit more than i thought, haha.

 

[datalol-jack]

Computing - serious business. I wish they would start shrinking the form factor and offloading graphics or add-in cards off on a modular stripe, though.

 

[Giskard2k]

Could be a quite a while before I find one of these occupying some space in our household.....very nice though.

 

[jak731]

How about 80 cores/160 threads

Not sure what OS would be compatible for doing distributed computing on it and probably chatting 10k with 8 E7s lol.

+1

Heres the top 11 PC's on Einstein, the 3rd fastest is mine with just 4 cores which are not even used on Einstein.
Take note that all the Gulftowns are behind me

Top in what? PPD?
