AMD is gona have to step it up if this processor turns out to be half way decent. lol
Oh. And that SOB is gona run hotter than lava.

Lol, where you been? Phenom II is just barely in line with core 2 duo's and not even close to the i7. Fanboy much?
o.o Look at all those threads

Its a dual cpu board, 6 core cpu's= 12 cores, 24 threads.

On tomshardware a while ago they said something about an 8 socket motherboard that can handle up to 128 threads so I'm assuming they will be releasing an 8 core along the lines of this series? 8 core i7/9 = 16 threads x 8 sockets = 128.

The i9 is mostly meant for servers. I think they might use this to replace the Xeon branding.

Why does it say I7 then?

Still very nice...can only imagine the wattage and heat that beast puts out. We are slowly turning back to having our PC in a deep freezer to operate ^-^

Depends on what the program does. 3D rendering and video editing programs will use how ever many CPUs you have because rendering stuff like that is pretty much infinitely thread-able, which is why they have render farms with hundreds and thousands of CPUs working on a single project.
just a noob

i would guess that its mainly got to do with the lga 1366 socket

How about multiple threads being ran by multiple programs/applications? The board is meant for servers I'm sure, just like the 4 socket board was socket 771 for intel's xeon server processors.
This is awesome.
But i think its all going over the top now with how many cores......wouldnt it be nice instead of having more cores shoved in there each time...to actaly have more ghz per core?
Say if we had a Quad core with all cores running at 4.5 -5ghz?
Surely that would gain more performance?
Maybe i just dont understand enough how a cpu works...or maybe Heat is the issue to why they cant do that but thats what im thinking atm.

Not really, we are reaching the limits when it comes to clockspeed pretty much, everything is heading towards symmetric multiprocessing.

I wonder if this Clarkdale will allow that "iGFX" to partner with Nvidia or Ati offerings. Intel should also be releasing their new video cards soon and maybe the "iGFX" will have something to do with that like PhysX is for Nvidia.
