Tukwila goes down with all hands
IDF Spring 2008 Son of Itanic crashes and burns
INTEL'S Tukwila blew up on its first public showing. Sorry, No pics.
Pat 'Monkey King' Gelsinger was giving Tukwila, the latest Itanic, a grand first public showing. It crashed hard.
No, really. The 4S, 16C 32-thread machine was running some CFD app and blammo. It went something like, "The performance you get from the new...... uh.... nice weather in here. And speaking of the next topic.....".
Irony, thy name is Itanic. µ

My first readings.
Tulwila is 1.9 billion Transistor unit, similar in class to Dunington.So reading on Nahalem, previous Generation than Tukwila, with only 733 Million Transistors isn't direct, especially since Bloomfield? test showed one core alone, does NOT Function Properly, of course that may be due simply to turning other 3 cores off somehow. In all 8 threads enabled Nahalem seemed fine.
MyPoint. Tukwila is in Alpha/alpha testing. It has Huge Bunch o' stuff around edges of Die to enable plug in testing equipment, thers NO Known Final Die, So to even have seen thing Run in its' Test Stage is Privileged. I doubt such Early Working Test Die means Much More than It Really Exists.
On Nahalem, Maybe in reality Each Core Needs more Smoothing, as Its: LACK of LOAD that Slips it by as GOOD.

Please ban Mr/Dr/Sir Thomas Drashek from this site, my head won't stop spinning for quite some time after reading his comments (even though I only go so far as the first punctuation mark each time).Thanks in advance

What a shame
@ThomasIf Tukwila is in alpha stage, why would Intel show its HIGH RELIABILITY(!) CHIP FOR HIGH-END SERVERS in public just to embarrass itself?
What a shame dude...
Great Smacking Tiddlywinks!
Thomas Drashek is a brilliant boffin of circumspecised insider acumin and a proctored gaffer.Whych is more than I can say for King Tukwila. ahem...
hip-hip hooray!
Come on lads, you CAN do the 3 cheers!

could do a blog for the Inquirer. It might be the answer to the BOFH series at the other plaice. Anyone who hasn't accepted Ultie's invitation to view his site should do so. Hint: Back up to the directory page.English
Someone please send Thomas to a course in written English. The text is illogical and psychedelic, like he's using a really bad translator.can't find his site
