rourkchris Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...3view%26hl%3Den Thought some might be interested in seeing this. Looks like no real advantage in gaming. Hopefully that will change. Results were with a GTX 295 detail set on low and 1024x768 resolution. Power consumption at load appears to be 160 watts.

_TheAlexO Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 would be nice to see a benchmark able to use 6 cores so we could really see the advantages for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rourkchris Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Distibuted Computing projects would make good use of the 6 cores. Plan on at least 2 of these myself when they're available next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCRO Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Wow these look great, can't wait til there out for desktops, so I can just oust my Q9550! :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Wow these look great, can't wait til there out for desktops, so I can just oust my Q9550! :thumbs-up: Your Q9950 will likely be much faster in pretty much any game you throw at it...

xPETEZx Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 We can barely use Dual cores, let alone Quads, and people are already planning to move to 6-core? no thanks.... I really only see the benefit of extra cores in Servers, where for YEARS things have been SMP enabled. Desktop has a LONG LONG way to go before any real benefit will become apparent.

Krieg1337 Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Pete I agree on the gaming part, but not on the other stuff. Btw, there are already 6 core Opterons which you run on a dual socket mobo so 12 cores, Intel is already behind You need more cores to do more work in servers and things like that.

Zertz Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Intel is already behind If by behind you mean ahead sure Nehalem-EX. 8 cores. 16 threads. Scales up to 8 processors so up to 64-cores and 128-threads. Edited September 4, 2009 by Zertz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 The 6 core Xeon has been out for a while now as well and Intel should be launching a few more before christmas can't wait to see what comes out from both sides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertz Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Is that out yet? No. You're right. However, six cores aren't necessarily faster than four. As much as AMD has (or should have) dominated the server market before and during the Core 2 days with their Opteron's, which we're superior on many aspects, it really isn't the case anymore. Yes, having a powerful Intel isn't the perfect situation for the consumer, but you can't deny the fact that Nehalem is superior to Shanghai and Istanbul in many/most server applications. I'm not saying AMD's processors aren't good, in fact I admire them for being able to compete with the much larger company Intel is. Oh and, Intel itself pretty much killed their 6-core Dunnington with Nehalem! Back to that Slot 1 Pentium II now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HITandRUN Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 How about 12 cores and 12 threads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
