Intel and IBM demonstrate 128-thread Nehalem-EX server

Why don't you Intel son-of-a-bitches support the architectures you've already come out with; for starters how about a drop in backwards compatible multi-core processor Nehalem Xeon chip for the Itanium2 socket. All us Intel bleed edge adopters who bought into the Itanium crap got burned when you abandoned us. I will never, ever buy Intel again. Ever.

gotta love the reflection of a plasma...... lol

Doesnt Beat the NEC X9

oh nice thats what i am looking for about time lol xeon workstation systems need that atleast so that development for aplications and software can start especially for the open source market will we see a rambus xdr2 memory controller embeded on the die instead of ddr3 aswell?

hell of hardware but for more than 2 cpuS with each 8 cores you will pay through the noses

This is the real stuff heh compared to my 8 core system, still with a 64 core based system devided over 8 , Octa core CPU's with HT, Real Time Ray Tracing is possible, it could even run Flight Simulatr X over it's CPU's fluidly.
