Intel Demos Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Quad-Core At IDF

Posted by Zonk on from the kind-of-a-morbid-name dept.

MojoKid writes "Intel demonstrated a dual socket gaming rig at IDF this week, based on their Skulltrail platform with the X38 chipset. The interesting thing about this machine wasn't just that it had 45nm quad-core CPUs in its sockets, as well as PCI Express 2.0 capable slots, but also that it was running a pair of NVIDIA graphics cards in SLI. That's right, SLI on an Intel chipset. No word whether or not X38 would officially be supported with SLI just yet. In fact, NVIDIA representatives noted Intel was buying NVIDIA nForce 100 SLI Southbridges just for this one Intel motherboard model."

    If your multicore CPU or concurrent programming language or operating system does not support fine-grain, instruction-level parallelism in a MIMD (multiple instruction, multiple data) environment, it is crap. Sorry.
