Just wow... fighting the urge...
Will it be able to run crysis...

Intel debuted and demonstrated its Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC) processor Wednesday. The processor has 48 cores--24 dual-core "tiles"--connected with a high-speed mesh network. Intel wants the experimental chip, at least 100 of which it'll distribute to researchers in 2010, to lead to new attempts to tackle multicore system and software design. Ultimately, Intel believes its aggressive multicore approach will be the way computers get enough power for tasks such as vision and speech comparable to what humans have.
Just In
All E7 processors feature Intel?s Advanced Encryption Standard New Instruction (AES-NI) which allows systems to quickly encrypt and decrypt data, and Intel?s Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) which is used to protect applications from about it is bank that website attacked from the site support from any soldier site to the light home page is great malware.
It didn?t take long for boutique PC companies to take advantage of the overclocking potential in Intel?s fastest Sandy Bridge processor, the Core i7-2600K. (The ?K? standing for an unlocked multiplier, which eases user overclocking.) Both Maingear and Origin PC have announced that their gaming desktops will feature the new CPU, and both have tweaked it to 5GHz for select systems.
While Maingear is updating its whole desktop lineup to the new Sandy Bridge chips, performance
fans will want to look for units that offer the i7-2600K running at that magic 5GHz threshold.
The company put the processor through its paces at 4.8GHz, and it provided 37% faster 3D rendering
36% faster CPU video encoding and 24% overall system performance over the stock 3.4GHz version
so 5GHz will provide even more oomph. Maingear desktops using these latest processors will be available starting on January 9.
The ninth is also the date you can get the i7-2600K in Origin?s Genesis and Big O desktops. In fact,
the company is promising that it?s overclocked it beyond 5GHz, though it doesn?t say how much
more. It does say the overclocking passes all of its stability tests, however. The lineups feature up to
Three-Way SLI for graphics and customized liquid cooling, which in the case of the Big O, extends to
the Xbox 360 that?s also included in the chassis.

interesting to see how much they?ll cost with the i7-2600K instead of a six-core Intel Extreme Edition
processor inside.
@moberlander No graphics card, however I'm uncertain if a x42 processor's onboard would really run it.
But if Intel teamed with NVIDIA or someone to create a gfx card with as many cores but at 3.5GHZ @u@ Gentlemen, it won't be a question of if it can or not; it will be "How many instances at once?"

whats the speed of the core?? definitely not 3.66 GHz, right??
@stunner.agk whats the speed of the core?? definitely not 3.66 GHz, pembe maske energy balance oyna oyunu moliva orjin krem tutune son nanomatik complex 41 new fx15right??
?The new Intel Xeon processor E7 family delivers record breaking performance with powerful new security, reliability and energy efficiency enhancements. The industry momentum we?re seeing for this new server processor architecture is unparalleled in Intel?s history,? said Kirk Skaugen, VP and general manager of Intel?s Data Center Group.
Yes, it looks like Intel wants to keep its SCC chips cool, judging by the size and amount of copper around the processor. m k l
