IDF 2009 SF: working Intel Gulftown processor

[DoCWaSaBe]

is that an antec1200 case?

[GarrettBMXes]

This is not a core "i9" it is the Core i7 980X and it was just recently released for around $1000 US

[HologramKS]

So this is basically the i9?

[PocketBrain]

Big Buck Bunny ftw.

[Tha0men]

its called the i7 980

[keoskeos]

What a joke.. Why do I need it for my home uses?

No games actually use even 4 cores nowadays.. You just need a great graphics card.

[jake66664]

Uh, you might not be aware. But Battlefield Bad Company 2 reccomends you have a quad core. This is just the beginning, eventually games will require quads and more.

[keoskeos]

@jake66664 Awesome, this is the first game I see that actually takes advantage of quadcores, 2 years after it was released..

[jake66664]

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 hasn't been released yet.

[GenoPeppino]

@keoskeos You don't need this for home uses. If you're looking for a computer for home uses, I'd recommend a cheap Dell from BestBuy. For most people who follow this sort of tech, home uses aren't an issue. Professionals want to be able to render entire movies in adobe premiere and still have their computer free to run Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and Fireworks projects. Also... wait-a-sec... nothing about this presentation is for home uses... oh... flame-baiting! Ha, you got me! You're good!

[paradevolar]

Nice, Pretty Nice. Mi i7 920 looks to be obsolete in less than 20 minutes.

[iD0NUTZ]

Once this comes out, Intel will already be working on Core i11

[Lupic1995]

Gulftown will come for the1366 Socket but there will also come some 6 and 8 core prozessors for the 1156, they are called Sandy Bridge

[kerog6]

yes! big buck bunny- blender foundation is getting free publicity!

[loklomedia]

I'd like to see them render a different type of scene in Blender - that's more intensive, instead of all the layer passes, which doesn't show the full usage and speed.

[sonic003573]

no $999USD

[lowxfx]

it will cost >1500 US$

[snipesre]

i would of pwnd that gut punched him in da face had my budy grab the pc and fking take off fk that man i want one now

[ROEDERBABY]

My Q9400 will handle it till Gulftown. Rumours goes, that they're already at the illegal market.

[tomyloveu]

12 core i see last core doing nothing...

[snipesre]

yea whats that about

[2076649]

thats its the lazy core its there just fot count une more

[LLOYD19851012]

i was going to get the i7, but i think i will wait for the i9 some time next year

[NeXTNXGAMING]

me 2..

[benjamoon]

I honestly can't understand the last section of your comment. I think what you said though, is that the Mac Pro is bad because Mac OS doesn't have a lot of games. A piece of hardware, is bad because of it's software? You're aware the Mac Pro can run Windows and Linux right?

[Timzsk8]

Also note that Mac pros were design to be an industrial grade computer. It is meant to be a hardcore workstation with music producers, film producers, and 3d renderers in mind.

[ChocolateNinjaStar]

@Timzsk8 Lol Apple Inc.

In the shitter.

[SVTFilms]

Holy. Shit. This is mind blowing.

[paperinik9999]
