intel "new" cpu, Xeon E5-2690 Sandy bridge-EP

firejuggler · 2011-12-28, 22:49

8 core, 16 thread.
yup, 8 core.
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Int...ise,14362.html
Workstation anyone?

up to 768 GB of ram supported
Now imagine a board with 8 cpu slot...
That would blow away Fivemack 48 cores...

Yikes. But how much does one of them cost? Also how much power would the 8 socket system pull?

firejuggler · 2011-12-28, 23:43

according to this far too much for the high end. TDP is between 70 to 150 W.
70 W for 8/16 corz @1.8 GHz for the E5-2650 L, 1106 $
150 W for 8/16 core @ 3.1 GHz for the E5-2687W, 1885 $
The price make it out of reach for now, I guess, unless there is somebody willing to spend a lot of money.
The good news is that it use the LGA2011 socket

wow according to what I've looked up after buying mine has a max 60

But that has a fourth of the cores. Power efficiency wise the EP's are clear winners, but they're so damn expensive...

yeah admittedly I'm an idiot. got my printer working though so now if only I could get a good resume worth printing and handing out lol.

How much would cost a SuperServer with 8x Intel Xeon E7 family?

firejuggler · 2011-12-29, 11:12

Acording to http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/I...20E7-8870.html top of the line E7 (10 cores 20 hyper @ 2.4GHz)will cost around 4600 $ By CPU. 36800 $ in core only. So adding a little extra... 42-43k, at the time of the release of the CPU

That's one of AMD's great advantages: they have decided not to charge a more-than-two-sockets tax, so it generally makes sense to buy four-socket boxes. At the moment a 64-thread 2.1GHz 64GB Bulldozer box is about four thousand pounds, which is £500 more expensive than a 24-thread 2.66GHz 48GB Xeon box and (on fully-parallel tasks) significantly more performant. Going for two dual Xeons in one case is £6100, 50% more than the Bulldozer and probably similar or slightly better performance, but with a bit more admin faff and without the possibility of allocating 60GB from a single process.

Why are they so expensive? When will Moore's Law speed up? Where can I get a 16-core CPU and 8 GB Memory both for less than $100? I've been looking everywhere!
