What's the "Blockman" cookin up???

Any word on the 300's yet or am I going to have to invest in the "Dark Side"?   I really want to do some 3D Mark...  I guess I'm going to have to put my money into some gpu's instead of all this cpu cooling stuff if I want to play that game?  Man... the 32nm Westmere's will be here soon... lol... I better get another job! And then "Sandy Bridge" and then....

Details of Sandy Bridge's are leaked into the media in July 2009. The specifications are reported to be as follows:[5]

• A0 Stepping
• 2.8 GHz to 3.4 Ghz clock speed with TurboBoost Technology disabled.
• 3.0 Ghz to 3.8 Ghz clock speed with TurboBoost Technology enabled.
• Processing cores will feature Hyper-Threading Technology that is also present in Intel Nehalem processors, as well as Intel Pentium 4 processors.
• 4 cores by default.
• Approximate 225 mm² die size by default.
• Without SSE: 8 DP GFLOPS/core (2 DP FP/clock), 32-64 DP GFLOPS/processor.
• With SSE: 32 DP GFLOPS/core (8 DP FP/clock), 128-256 DP GFLOPS/processor.
• 128 KB L1 cache/core, (3 clocks).
• Trace cache will make its come back in this version.
• 1024 KB L2 cache/core, (9 clocks).
• 16 MB shared L3 cache/DIE (25 clocks). This L3 cache will also be shared with the integrated graphic core.
• 64 bytes cache line width.
• Integrated graphic core running at 1.0 GHz to 1.4 GHz.
• Integrated Memory Controller with maximum 25.6 GB/s bandwidth, supports DDR3-1600 dual channel RAM.
• 256 bit/cycle Ring bus bandwidth. The ring bus connects the cores.
• Maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 85W by default.
• Release date is expected at Q1 2011.

What's the "Blockman" cookin up???

you just never know.... but I may have it up and running tonight...  

@nate  -  put down the ban saw and walk away slowly from all copper you may or may not have worked on recently.

I brought it to work with me to do a little filing

I forgot to post this.  I installed a fuel filter to collect anything unwanted from flowing through the system.  I am quite pleased with it.

glad to see your work hours are spent productively. my tax dollars at work AWSOME !!!
me think the bandwith on that fuel filter needs to be increased :-)

you would be surprised.  There is almost no resistance.

you would be surprised.  There is almost no resistance. 

Yes. Of course. Resistance is futile when it comes to the BlockMan
