Good find, too bad it's not LGA 775. And it's a good deal cheaper than the Q6600.

 

[Heyyou27]

Yeah, if it was LGA 775 it would be a stellar deal.

another spear in the amd body

How's a 500$ Quad-Core With the Lowest Quad-Core binning possible a Speak(spear) To AMD? When every one know you cannot Overclock a LGA771.,It's Stuck at 1.8Ghz Hardly anywhere further than a midhigh-End Dual-Core

Thats actually not true.

Towards the bottom, they discuss OCing an x5355 from 2.66 to 2.93 or so.

I can't imagine how they do it, but I've never used a xeon server board.

well this processor wouldnt be great for gaming but this thing can rock server apps and multithreaded applications. in otherwords its a great workstation processor

What about the 1.6 GHz Quad core Intel Xeon E5310 for $375 ...

LINKAGE!

 

[terror112]

lol i'd buy that.

 

[SEALBoy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that E5310 passively cooled?

 

[mwswami]

Here is the active cooling version of the Xeon 5310 at Newegg for $359 8O 8O

Y'know... FB-DIMMs aren't that much more expensive... Hmm...

Some guy who reviewed it claims you can OC it to 2.33ghz w/ 1333 FSB by insulating the G30 pin.

Can anyone confirm this?

This CPUx2 = $1,000 for 8 cores @ 2.33ghz. Thats the best deal on the market. I'd rather get a 771 socket w/ FB-Dimm if this is realistic.

 

[SEALBoy]

The actively cooled version is cheaper than the passively cooled one... that's weird...

But why the hell is there a passively cooled version in the first place? Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought there weren't any passively cooled chips since Pentium 1. I understand it's a server chip and designed to run cool and everything, but it's got FOUR cores. I'd hate to run Prime95 on that thing.

 

[SEALBoy]

What will you do with 8 cores? I'd bet you anything an X6800 will run games faster, not to mention the fact that it will use cheaper and faster RAM.

The Xeon X3210's are supposed to get a price cut in Q2.

Kentsfields for only $425 anyone?

Passively cooling is typically used in dense servers. For example, in a 1U server, there is typically no space to mount a fan on top of the CPUs.

Cooling is achieved by running everal smaller fans in the chassis that create airflow by drawing air in from the front and letting it out from the back and in the process cooling the various components including the CPU.

Hmm... guess that's why Prescotts were never big in servers! :lol:

You know, I'm pretty sure some abacus named Prescott started the Great Chicago fire of 1871.

I understand that the core of stars is solid Prescottanium.

hahaha yeah and my friend Gail is a liar liar pants on fire and his pants ARE MADE OF PENTIUM CHIPS

hahahaha

 

[SEALBoy]

God, I hope the pins on those Pentium chips point AWAY from his legs.

 

[CaptRobertApril]

OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooookay there... 😀

So... when can we buy some of these $425 Kentfields? I want a couple!!! Real bad!

Hey, at the end of the article it says that Intel's single-core E4300 Allendale is making it's debut. I thought the E4300 was dual-core. Is there a single-core variant that I don't know about?

 

[Apple_Fritters]

This place has them...but they still cost $750.
Second quarter price drops can't come some enough.

...and I've never heard of single core E4300 :?:
