AMD's Six-Core Istanbul Opterons

EconolineCrush writes "AMD's latest 'Istanbul' Opterons add two cores per socket, for a grand total of six. Despite the extra cores, these new chips reside within the same power envelope as existing quad-core Opterons, and they're drop-in compatible with current systems. The Tech Report has an in-depth review of the new chips, comparing their performance and power efficiency with that of Intel's Nehalem-based Xeons. Istanbul fares surprisingly well, particularly when one considers its performance-power ratio with highly parallelized workloads."

egyptian civilization started well around 4000 BC and lasted until 400 BC. thats around 3600 years.

eastern roman empire is from ad 250 ish to ad 1453.

EVEN if you add entire roman empire history unto that, which makes from 500 BC to 1453 AD, it still makes 2000 years. doesnt come anywhere near egypt.
