How about a single CPU with 80 cores?

I have this exact model in my living room for my HTPC

 

[masterasia]

Hey.......Where's my comment?

 

[campb292]

Holy cow. Technology moves so fast. I just upgraded my Commodore 64 to a 486DX2. I think I only have 1 core.

 

[compton]

I'm guessing price is somewhere in the neighborhood of $not cheap.

 

[kilo_17]

1TB of RAM? That's insane!

 

[jn77]

I wonder what this would do for Batch raw photo and uncompressed 1080p/60FPS video editing..... could it be done at 2-4 times real time on windows 7 64bit?

It's funny, not that long ago, I can remember windows 3 running on a 386 with something like 4mb of RAM. Then windows 95 cam out. It was recommended that you run a 486 with 8mb. I remember friends and family being up in arms. "8MB!?!?!?! What in the world would you need with a system that has 8MB or RAM!?!?!?!? I mean come on, thats absurd." Here we are 16 years later talking about 80 cores at 2ghz a piece and a 1tb of RAM and not really thinking twice about it. My how times change

 

[compton]

Who cores?

 

[someguynamedmatt]

...whoa. Do want.

 

[dimamu15]

can I get that to game X)

 

[utengineer]

That's going to be cheap. Ordered two of them

 

[utengineer]

Thanks's going to be cheap. Ordered two of them

 

[burnley14]

Wow, that's gonna cost a pretty penny.

 

[JsPcKiP]

I'd sure love folding with that...

 

[saymi]

I wonder how much terflops capacity it will have. How close can this server be to a supercomputer with 4 tesla cards? It is not only the capacity you need to find a Opencl or Cuda programer to able to use it full capacity.

But I want to host 40 operating systems on this server. Divide 40 to the cost of the infrastructre and we can see how economical it can be.

 

[kimyeang88]

2800 Watt...........

 

[accolite]

Talk about a rendering dream.
But I bet It will cost more than my car.

 

[squallypie]

2800 Watt Power Supply.... man those servers are amazing!

 

[applegetsmelaid]

For 2800 watts the PSU looks kinda puny.

 

[K2N hater]

Wonder if it comes with some sort of discount or rebate for the processors...
