| Intel V8: All eight cylinders fired up? Technically, from the point of pure CPU MIPS / MFLOPs, this is the fastest PC ever reviewed here - after all, you got 96 GFLOPs peak in 64-bit precision (around 80 GFLOPs obtainable in Linpack benchmark), and humongous 21 GBytes/s of memory bandwidth. Eight cores at 3 GHz each, processing four ops/cycle each, and with dual FSB1333 - not bad at all! Even Apple put them into their current top-end machine. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39175

| I don't get it , how is this an answer to AMD QuadFX ? It uses fb dimms (just like clovertown ) , so what's the difference with the Intel server systems? I thought the advantage of the AMD QuadFX system was it uses regular (=cheap) DDR2 memory. |

| *cheap* and AMD QuadFX/Intel V8 don't go in the same sentence
