Heya Soo intel just kick off new CPUS#! But I gotta say clocked at 2.7 ghz its dissapointment!!! I was just preparing to buy myself the next get dual 12 core but I dont think that will happen as they are only 2.7 ghz :((

Not to spoil your excitement, I personally witnessed dual 32 core machine in action at Sigraph 2011. Nothing special in terms of setup, just regular box, but 64 threads (non HT) if I remember correctly. I don’t know why intel makes this “special” 12 core cpu for $2,600 and things everyone should be …

Well 24 core/42 threads… trust me when you have client next to you, it helps a lot to be as fast as possible in RT… Then again those 2.7 ghz… just… cry hard.

Id expect 65C on full load. Remember they dont OC so they actually run very cold…

The difference is, though xeons are more expensive, and yes you can match their output with i7 quite well, becomes in licenses per node as well as space/power. Imagine you have limited space, limited power, then 5 blades with two boards in each seating 2 12 core xeons will be way more efficient then…

Well I did a rig all components u need except graphic card 24 core/64gb ram/512ssd/case/coling/etc cost me 5600£ including vat(900£vat) = 72ghz My expectactions are that a 8 core I7(not released yet ) rig will cost in range 1250-1500 = 32000 at 4ghz OC So you can get around 3-4 i7 which will prod…

[image] autodesk has taken their moneygrabbing to a whole new level! But I do agree that i7 is faster then xeon, in fact in my tests i non overclocked i7 3930 performed 15% slower then dual 6 core (12 total) 3.4 ghz xeon Are you saying that a 6 core i7 (12 threads) is only 15% slower than two …

I’m also plenty satisfied with my i7 3930K’s, slightly overclocked… but I cannot compare as I have only them. I was always questioning if I should get some Xeons but the price difference is just huge. would be willing to make some tests to compare with other rigs. regards,

2x OC i7 8 core will be way faster and almost 50% price of the 24 core xeon.

I assume they run as hot as hell as all new intels right? So I’ll pass and wait for next gen.
