MY TURN!  ..just kidding ;)

     

My turn?? 
 
 
 
 
 
On topic: give me 22 cores

with ~20 of them sitting idling.

Yep, have a good day. You all know I'm right, but that doesn't matter, "it's the amount of cores that matter". Keep living that dream guys, enjoy your 22+ cores.

 
I thought folding software will use as many cores as you can throw at it, and EVGA members have a big presence on the folding scene.

bcavnaugh, it's ok to shed light on the types of businesses who would use this type of hardware if someone doesn't understand how it fits.
 
Several threads in the Computer Industry News forum don't apply to regular consumers - that's not the point.  The point is to introduce Computer Industry News and that's exactly what Xray and others have done in this forum (regardless of the type of user it's for).

Personally, I think it will be interesting to see how far Intel can push it.

What! I sorry but why are you telling me this. Should you not be telling stalinx20 this and not me.

Of course Computer Industry News is for all news related to computers. I think the fact I pointed out that this processor was aimed for enterprise/server level made you assume that I was claiming that everybody on evga forums "is a consumer". I never said that. I did quote that "EVGA is aimed pretty much for consumer level customers"; they are. Does that make me claim that "everybody is a consumer based customer"? No. You're claiming that to be my point. Did I complain that Intel continues to stack more cores on top, claiming they have a "better" Processor than the one before? You bet I did. My only point is that they are not focusing on individual cores and what they're capable of doing. They are not improving the core structure, and the amount of workload each core is capable of doing before it tanks, and if they can actually make the cores in their inner self "do more". That is what I was grasping, I'm not really sure what you were going on about how the computer industry news isn't just meant for gamers. You made that claim.

 
To clarify about the future speed of ALL PROCESSORS 
there is a limit to the top speed of processors due to the die shrink due to distance between traces and transistors -  voltage increases in the core make for higher leakage and internal shorting
so as the traces get closer the voltage cannot go as high - so overclocking ability goes down
 
Intel is making IPC changes improving speed
but clock speed is not gonna move much over the next few yrs - maybe 1GHZ max increase
Intel and AMD are already talking about chip stacking - so like chips on top of each other and maybe ram on top of that - or on chip
more core and more LV2 LV3 cache or Dram on chip
 
this also requires material changes that allow for internal chip cooling or Electrically charged cooling
we are hitting limits already with Die shrinks and current materials anything beyond 7nm is not gonna be easy ...4nm or less are more extreme yet
 
the future of all chips is more cores - get used to that - it's coming
and Microsoft has to redesign the core kernel and make kernel improvements over the next few yrs for that
not that we are getting a new OS... win 10 is the last OS - just get use to updates all the time

Keep dreaming and enjoy your 2 core i3 lol

Having the state of mind that there's no purpose for more cores than four is closed-minded and outright false. To each their own, lol.

32 threads at 100% load 24/7  no cores sitting idle in my house.

Nice, Bill. What application(s) were using it primarily?

Nice, Bill. What application(s) were using it primarily?

I run BOINC programs like primegrid and World Community grid. Sometimes folding @ home.
We look for cures for Cancer, Alzheimers, Ebola, Zeka, AIDS, also look for prime numbers, mapping the stars, clean water and so on.
 
I have three dual socket 2011, 16 cores 32 threads, three dual socket 1366, 12 cores 24 threads each, one quad socket AMD G34 48 cores, a dual G34 24 cores, several more hexcore CPUs in 1366 or 2011 single sockets.  I have another G34 dual socket still sitting in its box I have yet to set up.  Got to love ebay where used servers sell for pennies on the dollar.
Once Winter sets in I will have everything running 100% load 24/7 heating my house.
 
I would love a 100 core CPU, give me as many at they can I could put it to use, never too many.
Put all the cores I have on one cpu would cut down my electric bill, but I would not be able to spread the computers all over the house and use them for heat.
 
Stop in and see what we do, join in if you like. Team EVGA is one of the best teams out there.
