I'll take 16 of them and 2 of those 8 socket boards. Of course that would mean 64 VM's running Ubuntu SMP.

Looks like they finally caught the drift from Sun's Coolthreads architecture.
I've got 2 boxes that have one 8 core T2 CPU each that can run 64 threads. I was pulling some awesome numbers on SETI.
I know RISC hasn't made the inroads x86 has, but it certainly helped pave the road for CISC chips like x86.
Anybody remember the Apple G5 commercials? The world's first 64-bit desktop?
I laughed and asked -- what is that Sun Ultra10 (built 1997 I think?) I have sitting right there?!!?
Anyways, cool stuff. I can't wait 'till it trickles down to cheapo average-joe commodity hardware so I can have a screaming system for cheap.

I will start saving for one now...so when it is obsolete in a few years I can afford one! BTW...can someone please give them some lessons or something before putting them in front of a camera. It could only be worse if the IBM guy had a stuttering problem.

Looks like that "8 core fever" is catching: been thinking(dreaming actually) about this too.
Gimme just a little reason to build out one & I'm on-it!

I think I have one big reason. 64 SMP VM's on one rig. Imagine the folding powah........

64? Just run native linux dude! I don't think with that many process that the ppd difference between 4 and 2 core workunits will matter
. Pade will have to release a new workunit and client to take advantage.- Joined

You will need an extra job to pay for the electricity bill.
