all those poor souls still waiting for MP/EX based machines to "mature" ;-)

Sorry to say it's not Eastern Europe doing the spamming. The crappest country-by a factor of 3-the US. Not even billions of Chinese can compete when it comes to producing junk on an industrial scale - nothing changes ;-) http://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/countries.lasso

Soo... a 64 core/128 thread machine from Intel in 09Q4, or rather 10Q1. Costs of such a rig could be double of the budget for AMD machines racking up a total of somewhere between 64/128 cores.....

What remains to be seen is how Larrabee will come to the table. IMHO Larrabee will be an EPIC FAIL. Would've liked to be proven otherwise though.

Call me an AMD CPU fanboi, Intel is just sooo overrated. It don't get the hots from kit from an criminally convicted monopoly. Other quite possibly do.

Obviously Sarcasm isn't a primary language for you... you might find reading the Inq a little difficult until it is.

ScaleMP has been shipping vSMP Foundation for Nehalem, which allows creating virtual SMP systems with 128 cores and 4TB RAM.

Intel is falling behind :).

check: http://www.scalemp.com

Then you can multiply the scalability by 4, as their enterprise boxes have built in clustering allowing up to 4 4S boxes to be linked together and run as one. That makes for 128 cores and more NUMA than you can throw a stick at...

Looks great but not enough emphasis on timescales in the article. Especially on the larger systems being a year off.

Finally doesn't strike me as the right headline. Still, shows Dunnington up for the fossil it will become from July.

I just read the article about the Microsoft-Intel laptop "secret pact"

Intel is such an immoral company

With that much CPU horsepower you could probably raytrace Crysis at playable speeds!

Crysis is GPU-bound, no?

At last something that will get a decent frame-rate in Crysis Warhead? :-)
