Read more.Going head to head with Intel's Westmere-derived Gulftown?
I refute the use of hexa-core as a valid term for six-core processor packages. Instead I propose we use the nomenclature I came up with about a year ago:
sex-core
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
True, but for double the logical cores you'll be paying nearly double the total system cost too.Trouble is, Intel's Gulftown - a 32nm part - will feature six physical cores with support for hyper-threading, resulting in a further six virtual cores. Furthermore, Gulftown is likely to arrive sooner, and it'll be backward compatible with existing X58 (socket LGA1366) boards.
Never mind being backwards compatible with socket LGA1366, this is compatible with AM2+/AM3, which means all my AMD systems can be upgraded to the latest processor.
Unlike my Core2Quad box.
AMD provding a nice upgrade path.
I definately get the feeling they learnt from the overly-zealous early phasing-out of socket 939!

Oh yes. I'm still hurting over that one.. and Intel's weird lack of upgrade path for 1156 socket is pushing me towards one of these.Originally Posted by shaithis
