IBM Shows First Ever 8-Socket, 128-Thread Nehalem-EX Server

He looks the older brother of Luke and Owen Wilson who simply walked in with his cheesy smirk and started talking random crap and everyone is like, "Yup.. Uhum! Yurp!" LMFO!

I could kill for 128 threads!! It would takes minutes, not hours to render (ray trace) one photo realistic frame. And it takes hours on an OVERCLOCKED i7!!

The Tesla GPU is PATHETIC when it comes to running operating systems and VM's due to their low clock speed.

"8-Socket, 128-Thread Nehalem-Ex Server" so this should be the Beckton (8core/16thread)

[fireicer]

that's a hell of a compute node but your gearing all these solutions around vm machine type servers, What about the compute architecture we need for development. can this be scaled over a Ethernet protocol and used with distcc, compiles sent to the node to compute then sent back to a workstation or is that a really expensive way of doing a simple HPC task.

halocursed HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Your sooo full of crap Tesla GPU isnt out yet fool your a fukn moron and still youll only get above 80FPS DUDE you are soo full of shit DUDE

Man! And I thought I was cool when I got my hands on my DL580 G2 .

Oh well. :<

[narcoti]

Talk about a huge e-peen damn

[tupac93013]

dam son this kicks ass

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

is there any ways i can run two i7s not in a server software?

[bigdima3]

ja, theres a new mobo , check out on asys web

[tupac93013]

yes with windows 7

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

not vista?

[halocursed]

dude go for tesla gpu like if you are willing to break it will possibly blow all your benchmarks, it can run crysis like at 150-300 fps ....

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

yeah the one prob is i ahve never really heard of the c870 before today so im a bit reluctant to try it is that makes sense

[ubernewhacks]

Ahaha damn you Crysis

[MauField]

tesla is a gpu rendering unit only. there are no video connections on the unit it's self.
