Dual Dual core = quad cpu, been done yet?

Aviator747 · Aug 13, 2005

So has anyone made a dual dual core yet? Does the mobo's even exist in dual sockets with the proper pin numbers?

No, I am not wanting to do this. At least not anytime in the near future. :drool:

I have just been curious of the possibilities ever since the dual cores have come into existence.

Yeah, there was an article a while ago about an 8 socket 939 or 940 board filled with X2's. So there were 16 physical cores. I think it had like 128gigs of memory or something rediculous like that.

a mobo for a system like that will liekly ruin in the $500 + range - check out Tyan / SuperMicro, sure they got something.

well when the dual core xeons come out...you'll have 8 cores, with HT.

Any modern Opteron board out there does this- the Tyan K8WE is one of the more popular, since it offers SLI. There are a bunch of benchies out there with a pair of 275's- here's one review, and here's another.

AHHH the day when ALl games will use multiple cores!!!! UT 2007 is going to set some records!

Yeah that's it. I didn't feel like looking. Thanks.

Aviator747 · Aug 14, 2005

Man that is some crazy stuff.

perfectturmoil · Aug 14, 2005

As said, pretty much ANY dual opteron will be able to take dual core opterons so you get a quad core setup..

Now, this is bad: http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v40z/index.jsp

can you imagine trying to OC that thing? You'd have to run 16 instances of Prime/SuperPi/whatever at a time!!!

Mr.Guvernment · Aug 14, 2005

you could heat your house while priming it

Look in this month's Maximum PC. This year's Dream Machine is a dual dual-core Opteron box.

I think the $500 range is considered way cheap. The tyan opteron board with 4 sockets cost in the $2000-$3000 range.
Thanks

Prime? Try S&M!

That thing is freakin' awesome. Dual dual-core opererons, dual 7800gtx's, dual widescreen LCDs, dual dual layer burners, dual terabytes, and a dual chipset motherboard (for 16x SLI for both cards).

What the hell do you do with something like that?

Fold?
