I was looking here on wiki and i see a graph that only has the eight core listed for mp server? I also read this:
"Beckton is a Nehalem-based processor with eight cores and uses buffering inside the chipset to support up to 16 standard DDR3 DIMMS per CPU package without requiring the use of FB-DIMMS.[20] It has four (or more?) QuickPath interfaces, so it can be used in at least quad-package configurations. Designed by the Digital Enterprise Group (DEG) Santa Clara and Hudson Design Teams, Beckton will be manufactured on the P1266 (45 nm) technology. It is expected to be launched in Q1 2010.[21] Beckton is also referred to as Nehalem-EX (EXpandable server market)." Does any have more information on this cpu's plans for desktop usage? I'm not interested in getting one im just looking into it. A friend of mine won't build an i7 because he wants to want for this 8 core. Im not sure if it will even work on desktops? Thnx All info i found from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehalem_%28mi...or_architecture This post has been edited by TropicalPreist: Nov 3 2009, 03:16 PM -------------------- Processor- INTEL CORE i7 920 @ 4.0GHZ

Stratch that, it's says lower on the chart Beckton/MP Server/8 (16)/LGA-1567. Guess that means your friend is gonna need a motherboard!

If he wants 8-cores, just get him a dual socket 1366 server board and two i7 xeons
 Just don't expect overclocking!

I don't know where he is getting his information from but he is still on the belief that 8 core will be available on a desktop machine. Is there any articles out on this?

Is there any articles out on this? Well, Nehalem has 8 threads. Maybe that's what confusing him? We're not likely to see 8-core chips until 2011. AMD also has a desktop version of their hexacore Istanbul on the way to the desktop. -------------------- Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

nelahem will get 6 real cores 12 virtual cores, isnt that enough?? lol thats more than you'll ever need unless you are running a server imo. But hey who knows. some sites already ahve some leaked numbers but ES chips usually dont perform as well as retail with newer stepping chips do.
