holy hotcakes! they don't say but it's got to be at least a 250 watt part?The Opteron 6200 series processors, previously known by the code-name "Interlagos," integrates two of the dies used for the desktop processor into a multi-chip module packing up to 16 cores.
the sad part is it's comparison to an intel server part.http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2011/11/amds-16-core-bulldozer-pushes-into-the-server-room.arsthe Opteron 6282 SE's performance per core was actually only 61% of that of the Xeon processor

And the new Intel Sandy Bridge E processors are now available:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5091/intel-core-i7-3960x-sandy-bridge-e-review-keeping-t...high-end-alive
The 8 core, 16 thread, Xeon versions will be available soon. -
i couldn't believe the new sandy bridge cpu's need a new chipset.

ok. and where is one to find this ddr4 stuff?
--

It's not DDR 4, it's four channels of DDR 3 for twice the bandwidth (of two channels on earlier SB CPUs).

oh god, more marketing mumbo jumbo. the memory didn't get any faster, but now i would assume you have to have all 4 memory module slots filled on a brand new chipset motherboard.

The CPU can access memory twice as fast as before. That's not important for desktop apps but it's critical for certain types of HPC and server apps.
My guess these were originally meant to be 8 core server parts but there was a design defect that effected VT-d I/O:
http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2011/11/sandy-bridge-e-hits-the-market-with-more-...re-threads.ars
So Intel degraded them to 6 core parts for the desktop (market segmentation means they can't have desktop parts as powerful as their server parts) where they don't consider VT-d I/O to be important. That lets them sell the parts rather than throwing them out. And they get to kick AMD while it's down, winning every single benchmark definitively.Last edited by jagabo; 14th Nov 2011 at 19:51.

maybe but that would require the "old" sandy bridge to have been limited by memory speed because the processor isn't running any faster. can't say i ever saw that published anywhere.
At the core level, Sandy Bridge E is no different than Sandy Bridge. It doesn't clock any higher, L1/L2 caches remain unchanged and per-core performance is identical to what Intel launched earlier this year--

Every new CPU requires a new motherboard and new chipset,anybody notice a pattern?
-
Yes. Forcing you to buy a new Intel chipset and new Intel Motherboard to go along with your new Intel CPU means more money in Intel's pocket. That's' what we get with a near monopoly.

Makes you wonder why Intel doesn't make a full line of motherboards and cut Asus,Gigabyte,and others out the market.

They need to maintain the perception of competition to keep the FTC off their back.

In CPU and GPU department there are only 2 firms ( realistically i don't count Via and Motorola or S3 matrox and the rest ) and that is known as duopoly
(from Greek dyo / δυο (two) + polein / πωλειν (to sell))as is a specific type of oligopoly where only two producers exist in one market. In reality, this definition is generally used where only two firms have dominant control over a marketMore cores, more bandwidth.
The sad thing is that multicore concept against speed is old almost more than 50 years old ( when big multitasking servers in companies like bell and ibm were constructed to work in parallel) but it mostly depends on software and that is were it gets interesting, software is slowly catching up and till recently even 4 core processors had very little usage in personal computers and every day programs the same goes to 64bit computing ( anybody remembers Nintendo's console N64).
One interesting thing is that silicon as medium ( which is used today for almost every electronic chips) has its own physical constrains and it can't be shrink forever, that's why intel and amd abounded officially going over 4 ghz and started to multiply the cores
