Intel X38 High End Chipset Launch and Benchmarks

Posted by kdawson on from the new-flagship dept.

MojoKid writes "Though many leaks of the product have been circulating for some time, Intel officially took the wraps off and launched their new X38 Express chipset for the high-end desktop motherboard market. With this launch, the Intel desktop chipset line-up gets a new flagship. Intel's new X38 chipset encompasses all of the technology advances that have made the P35 a success and adds a slew of new features designed to increase memory and graphics subsystem performance, like PCI Express 2.0 SerDes and Intel Extreme Memory technology in the new X38 MCH. The Asus motherboard tested by HotHardware even features an embedded Linux-based OS that boots in a matter a seconds."

    At what point did you realise you'd wasted your trustfund? Was it during the MCSE course, or after, when you discovered the only jobs you could get paid Rupees?

      I love the sound of Linux fanboys pretending that they have counterparts on their opposing side to validate them, who are burning in the morning.

      Well, while my assertion still stands that Linux freaks need to make believe that there exist equal but opposite freaks that they need to be around to counter, you're right in that the qualities of the Linux mass hysteria go far beyond mere fanboyism and are squarely in the camp of religious zealotry. To the point that y'all are the "Fundies" of OS's, and RMS is Jerry Falwell, GNU being his Moral Majority.
