http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/20090526comp.htm SANTA CLARA, May 26, 2009 – Intel Corporation today previewed a new Intel® Xeon® processor codenamed "Nehalem-EX." The processor will be at the heart of the next generation of intelligent and expandable high-end Intel server platforms, which will deliver a number of new technical advancements and boost enterprise computing performance. In production later this year, the Nehalem-EX processor will feature up to eight cores inside a single chip supporting 16 threads and 24MB of cache. Its performance increase will be dramatic, posting the highest-ever jump from a previous generation processor.1 Nehalem-EX will add new reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features traditionally found in the company's Intel® Itanium processor family, such as Machine Check Architecture (MCA) Recovery. Together with new levels of performance, both high-end processors should speed the move away from more expensive, proprietary RISC-processor based systems. Ideal for server consolidation, virtualized applications, data demanding enterprise applications and technical computing environments, Nehalem-EX will offer up to nine times the memory bandwidth1 of the previous-generation Intel Xeon 7400 platform. Nehalem-EX will also double the memory capacity with up to 16 memory slots per processor socket, and offer four high-bandwidth QuickPath Interconnect links. Nehalem-EX will provide tremendous scalability, from large-memory two-socket systems through eight-socket systems capable of processing 128 threads simultaneously without the need for third-party chips to "glue" the platform together. Additional scalability options including greater sockets counts will be possible with third-party solutions. Intel delivers the most complete server portfolio: The Xeon 5500 series delivers leading performance, energy efficiency and flexibility for infrastructure applications. ++Nehalem-EX will greatly improve on today's Intel Xeon 7400 scalable performance, flexibility and advanced RAS features for data demanding enterprise applications and server consolidation. Itanium delivers the highest scalability and most advanced RAS features for the most demanding environments. The Nehalem-EX Advantage * Intel Nehalem Architecture built on Intel's unique 45nm high-k metal gate technology process * Up to 8 cores per processor * Up to 16 threads per processor with Intel® Hyper-threading * Scalability up to eight sockets via Quick Path Interconnects and greater with third-party node controllers * QuickPath Architecture with four high-bandwidth links * 24MB of shared cache * Integrated memory controllers * Intel Turbo Boost Technology * Intel scalable memory buffer and scalable memory interconnects * Up to 9x the memory bandwidth of previous generation * Support for up to 16 memory slots per processor socket * Advanced RAS capabilities including MCA Recovery * 2.3 billion transistors From RISC to Reward: Customers Migrating to Xeon- and Itanium-based platforms With new RAS capabilities for high-end enterprises, Nehalem-EX can accelerate IT adoption of Intel-based platforms over RISC-based platforms by delivering a lower total cost of ownership, higher performance, lower electricity bills and the ability to standardize on a flexible IT environment. The Intel Itanium processor delivers mainframe-class reliability for mission-critical workloads and enables the greatest scalability, especially for highly threaded workloads. Itanium offers greater than eight-socket system configurations and is ideal for applications that access the largest memory pools. Availability Nehalem-EX is scheduled for production in the second half of 2009. |

That would do some serious folding. |

You're god damned right. Although someone on here will be building a rig with some awesome results and folding power. I really want to see when it happens but I think it see it will require me to bring some coffee minimum and some smokes to hang out and watch.

Up to 9x the memory bandwidth of previous generation The machine in the background can fold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ4shSQJTd0 |

Crazy that SSD's will be the weak link even , lol.. But with a set of SSD's on Raid 0, you should be pretty ballin. Like these http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167013 |

Thats one serious CPU. I am actually considering joining the folding ranks myself. |

The reason I quit folding is for the sheer fact of power consumption. when I had 3 good machines folding it was pure expensive. |

that big-a-difference? even on one machine? I am looking to save power, not increase it to the point of driving up the bill. its bad enuff already lol |

Look at the Power consumption on your CPU from idle then on load. a phenom ii 940 stock used 159w idle and on load it consumes 229w overclocked to 3.6 Ghz it uses 234w idle and 340w load So i'm not too familiar on how much load it is using folding but we will factor 50% for kicks 340 load - 234 idle = 106 watts on full load difference from idle / 1/2 = 53w + 234w = 287w half load (I know this isn't acc but a example) on 3.6 ghz Ph. II 940. So we currently have .287 Kw/h .. 287w (.287kw/h) = 81 cents a day Multiply that for avg month = 24.38 For the year = 296.57 |

holy crap. No folding for me. Thats insane usage overclocked. May have to go back to stock if its that power hungry. |

Tom's hardware says its ~ 125watt average. Another site says the range is 109w idle to 189.7 watts load @ 3Ghz. yet another site gave results of 117watts idle to 185 load @ 3Ghz. oops sorry for the thread hijack guys. |

Just remember that none of those hardware whore sites are accurate. Also that is at 3ghz which most likely was at minimum voltage. 3.6-3.8 probably was a considerable bump on voltage as well. This is because they get to review the cherry chips, motherboard, psu, ram, right down to (probably) the Cd roms. So they have more energy efficient equipment which performs better. Kind of pisses me off because information from those sites are usless for the average class user who wants to make calculations based on efficiency and potential. But if you want I have a portable power meter we can plug your shizz into and calculate the costs accurately 100%. If so just hit me up on pm and ill give you my number or I can call you. Brian |

If yer looking to fold just get a PS3, watt-for-watt more efficient. Probably even more so with the new slim.  hawt! |

Why you didn't harness the awesome power of averages however I don't know: ( 340w load + 234W Idle ) / 2 = 287W half load
