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

Alex Yost, VP and Business Line Executive for IBM System X and Blade Center, discusses how high end workloads drive increasing demands for larger 4 Socket and above servers, the advantages and benefits of the Intel Xeon based IBM System x 3850 M2 and x3950 M2, their continued investment in X-Architecture with their upcoming 5th Generation supporting Intel Nehalem-EX processors, and demonstrates the first ever 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)

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

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

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

Oh well. :<

Ahaha damn you Crysis
