[citation][nom]dread_cthulhu[/nom]Any proof that this is not just a scam? 8core/16 thread chip, while they probably are in the making, I just can't imagine the stupidity it'd require for someone to actually attempt to sell it on e-bay... It's A LOT easier for me to believe someone made a false posting to scam someone outta some cash. Besides...... Isn't there some sort of computer black market? LOL[/citation]
8 core 16 thread is set to launch soon, consumer side, i believe server had this for a long time. and remember, intel has a chip that is quad threaded and 12 cores. they used it a while ago to show off real time ray tracing without gpu.
and there is a black market for everything. the computer black market will be comprised mostly of stolen (already launched) products, with some amount of military hardware (nothing major, just things we dont see) and on the top, industrial espionage items, however, those items almost always have a buyer before they are sold or even gotten.
