24MB on the L3? 128 threads?!? I want. You could start a data center with one of these. :shock:

I want one (maybe two) of those as I must be due an upgrade to my aging system

I need this most urgently so that my pooter will work faster than me

better question.
is it really f*$kin' necessary to have an 8 cored processor, that will undoubtedly cost an excess of $5000?

probably not. but hell, i want one

I think Intel's getting a little too far ahead of itself.
Quad core support is still in its early infancy, software-wise.
I'm still waiting to see significant gains for tri/quad CPUs...

But then again, this is a server chip so I doubt I'll be paying much attention.
*shrug*
