Supermicro Shows Off 80-Core Xeon Server
The more cores the better!
The server board has four modules, each of which can carry two upcoming 10-core Xeon E7 CPUs. Intel's new 32nm Westmere EX will debut as E7-2800 series (two sockets), E7-4800 series (four sockets) as well as E7-8800 series (eight sockets) with six, eight and ten cores as well as clock speeds ranging from 1.73 to 2.4 GHz.
The 5086B-TRF has also room for up to four Nvidia Tesla GPGPU cards as well as 16 DDR3 memory slots for each memory slot for a maximum of 1 TB, the manufacturer said. Supermicro uses a PSU with 2800 watts capacity, but wants to offer the option of a 3200 watt unit in future.
Prices have not been announced.

How about a single CPU with 80 cores?
ridiculous..
*drool*
*drool*
I have this exact model in my living room for my HTPC
Hey.......Where's my comment?
Holy cow. Technology moves so fast. I just upgraded my Commodore 64 to a 486DX2. I think I only have 1 core.
I'm guessing price is somewhere in the neighborhood of $not cheap.
1TB of RAM? That's insane!
I wonder what this would do for Batch raw photo and uncompressed 1080p/60FPS video editing..... could it be done at 2-4 times real time on windows 7 64bit?
It's funny, not that long ago, I can remember windows 3 running on a 386 with something like 4mb of RAM. Then windows 95 cam out. It was recommended that you run a 486 with 8mb. I remember friends and family being up in arms. "8MB!?!?!?! What in the world would you need with a system that has 8MB or RAM!?!?!?!? I mean come on, thats absurd." Here we are 16 years later talking about 80 cores at 2ghz a piece and a 1tb of RAM and not really thinking twice about it. My how times change
Who cores?
...whoa. Do want.
can I get that to game X)
That's going to be cheap. Ordered two of them
Thanks's going to be cheap. Ordered two of them
Wow, that's gonna cost a pretty penny.
I'd sure love folding with that...
I wonder how much terflops capacity it will have. How close can this server be to a supercomputer with 4 tesla cards? It is not only the capacity you need to find a Opencl or Cuda programer to able to use it full capacity.
But I want to host 40 operating systems on this server. Divide 40 to the cost of the infrastructre and we can see how economical it can be.
2800 Watt...........
Talk about a rendering dream.
But I bet It will cost more than my car.
2800 Watt Power Supply.... man those servers are amazing!
For 2800 watts the PSU looks kinda puny.
Wonder if it comes with some sort of discount or rebate for the processors...
can it run minesweeper?
That's pretty hardCore.
Me want servuh!
JESUS!
That would be one hell of a workstation ~might have to ask for a raise to handle the newly large electric bill.
Maybe better than a ps3 cluster? can i has a credit app?
it got 4 way sli im pritty damn sure it will eat crysis 1 up and spit it up on a side walk.
