AMD's New six-Core processors??

Post by lordvic »

I was looking around on Newegg, and guess what I found? :)

Wasn't expecting that, but...yeah.
Would current hardware/software even use all the 6-cores, I don't think quad-core is even full used to it's potential yet.

***Intel's going to release THEIR six-core processors soon.
Cooler Master HAF 932 // Phenom II 1090T @ 4.1GHz (not 110% stable) // ASUS Crosshair V Formula 990FX // Thermaltake Frio CPU Cooler // Sapphire Dual-X HD 7970 @ 1150/1500 // 8GB (2X4GB) G.Skill RipJaws + 8GB (2X4GB) G.Skill RipJawsX @1600 8-9-8-21-1T // Corsair TX850 // Corsair ForceGT 120GB SSD // Kingston V200+ 120GB SSD // WD Caviar Black 1TB // LiteON DVD-RW // Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit

I think AMD know this and that's why they're only releasing them as server chips, and severs are good at doing lots of parallel processes, so they will be useful there.

More cores is always good for virtualization. I'd love 4 of those in a nice Dell R905 with 128GB of RAM. That would handle a few VMs. :evil:
