LordHatrus Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20040405044711.html Sources close to Advanced Micro Devices told X-bit labs that at least one system integrator would unleash a server powered by 8 AMD Opteron processors this week. So far server makers have only released 2-way or 4-way systems based on AMD64 chips, while 8-way designs were expected for introduction at a later date. :woot: Now where can we find the cash for 8 opterons, a board like this, and up to 64GB of memory?!?!? :laugh: :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drshdw Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 8 2.2ghz opterons..would be more than enough to handle neowin's load, i think? what do they currently use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japlabot Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 8 2.2ghz opterons..would be more than enough to handle neowin's load, i think? what do they currently use? 2.2ghz is irrelevant because it does not reflect it's performance, it would be much better than just 2.2ghz chips alone :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathanael Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I believe it's a dual 3.0 GHz Xeon server. Wasn't there some news that there are 2 servers now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
