8-Core Intel Xeon 'V8' Sneak Peek - Dual Quads - The Processor Arithmetic and Multimedia benchmark scores are more than double those of a Core 2 Duo QX6800!!  QUOTE If you flip through the SiSoft SANDRA screenshots above you see just how much raw horsepower is lurking under this rig's hood. The Processor Arithmetic and Multimedia benchmark scores are more than double those of a Core 2 Duo QX6800. And the Memory Bandwidth benchmark reported maximum bandwidth scores in the neighborhood of 4GB/s, which is low by today's standards and about 1GB/s off the mark set by the QX6800.
We also ran a default 3DMark06 test and a multi-threaded Cinebench v9.5 benchmark on this rig and were thoroughly impressed. The overall 3Dmark06 score was 13,002 (SM2.0=5,104 / HDR & SM3.0=4,932); the CPU score was 6,556 - almost 500 points higher than the rig Intel was showing off at CES. And the rig completed the Cinebench rendering pass in only 10 seconds, which is about 4-5 seconds faster then a quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6800.

watttt? i thought it's already on-sale...
for example..., apple octa-cores.. which uses 2 quads xeons on a server board w/ server rams..

not far away from 50 cores era... power efficient robot/machine will dominate. We must stop Intel b4 too late.

8 cores? blargh, thats 2x quad core processor only. Havent u guys heard? Intel has successfully created an 80 core yes, 80 core chip processor! and no its not 20 quad cores, its a single chip 80 core processor. Not to mention that each core is clocked at 3.1 Ghz!
there's even another company who has created 96 cores on a single chip, called ClearSpeed.
i really cant imagine on what will happen in the next 10 years!

hmmm....
the terra core (80 core) is here
if it can do simple ALU calculations, it can be made for the masses u know
to kira all the 0's and 1's in windows (reminded me of The Matrix)

8 cores on a chip...wow...cool man..... just imagine the cost of your software licences...especially those that charge based on core....like Oracle.... price will be X8 for 8 cores...lol

Captain Obvious strikes again!  They're gonna hit a block in like say, 3 years, then what? Specialized processing units, in massive quantities like IBM's Cell? Death of easy + fast coding, then. |
