Intel SkullTrail Preview - Dual Core 2 Extreme QX9775 Processors
AMD's QuadFX platform might be dead, but that hasn't stopped Intel from bringing the Skulltrail platform to market. Skulltrail consists of the Intel D5400XS motherboard that supports a pair of LGA771 based Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors. These 3.2GHz, 45nm, quad-core processors have 1600MHz bus speeds and when paired together make a platform with eight cores and offer a total of 25.6GB/s of bandwidth. This is one serious system!

hmm 8 cores, 2 cores score 1000ppd (low estimate) 4000PPD per rig, possible to 6-8k with ocing and tweakingmartini161 wrote:3..2..1.. i got a boner seriously though, that is some insane stuff right there. 2 questions 1: does it suport crossfireX 2: are you gonna start folding with that thing anytime soon?

I foresee lots of problems early on, but nothing that decent driver support won't take care of. Besides that i wish i could afford to feed that puppy

I forgot to upload the overclocking page... just added that, so if you already checked out the article be sure to look at page 14 for overclocking results - http://www.legitreviews.com/article/661/14/

1.) It should support CrossFireX.martini161 wrote:3..2..1.. i got a boner seriously though, that is some insane stuff right there. 2 questions 1: does it suport crossfireX 2: are you gonna start folding with that thing anytime soon?
2.) I don't think he will but I might give it a shot.
If I can get it set up right it should be 7-10k ppd.

Good thing I am wearing a new pair underwear while I was reading that article however after reading it, now I need a new pair of underwear.

Just think how powerful it will be if they ever make it support DDR3!

It's superb when you have a very very deep pocket to buy those pricey hardwares.It's only good for crashing benchmark records but will not be a buying option for the masses.

Do you have to give this one back nate?
SLI at 100% improvement was a nice sight (though won't be that high with every game).

Honestly it looks like a bunch of hype to me. Even if I could afford it, would I really want it? Just how much will performance improve in everyday tasks with this compared to, say an X38 board with DDR2 and an E8500 for example? If I had to guess, I'd say not enough.

I would love to have this as a workstation, a home machine not so much.

If "money wasn't of ANY concern..." I'd want one of these. Now I'm not sure what I'd do with it, except maybe some "folding". But then again, maybe for that I'd be better off with 10 PS3s.

Not too shabby.
Re: Intel SkullTrail Preview - Dual Core 2 Extreme QX9775 CPUs
I wonder what will be the price of a complete Skulltrail rig.Need to rob a bank to own one.Thx for the preview though.This is no ordinary machine.I wonder how many people will be able to afford this though.
Re: Intel SkullTrail Preview - Dual Core 2 Extreme QX9775 CPUs
About 1000$ per CPU + probably around 400-500$ for the board. So well over 2000$ + video cards + HHD + etc... We're looking at atleast a 3000$ monsterManPower wrote:I wonder what will be the price of a complete Skulltrail rig.Need to rob a bank to own one.Thx for the preview though.This is no ordinary machine.I wonder how many people will be able to afford this though.
