During Computex, we sat down with Intel and talked about the future high-end platforms from Intel. One such potential platform is Skulltrail 2, based upon a dual-socket 8-core Nehalem-EX.
AMD's next-gen Opteron platform packs a punch - dual-socket setup will see 24 cores, 96GB of DDR3 memory and anywhere between 68.2 and 85.3GB/s of system bandwidth.
According to the information that is now leaking out from Santa Clara, it looks like G[T]300 boards are weeks before launch, not six months or even more...
We managed to get a confirmation from three independent sources - nVidia's 2.4 billion transistor answers to RV870 and Larrabee is not just taped out, but A1 silicon is in Santa Clara.
As GT300 takes shape, we managed to learn one tidbit more: the die size of this 2.4 billion transistor monster. We are surprised, to say the least.
ATI claimed that 256-bit memory controller is justified with the GDDR5, doubling the bandwidth from GDDR3. But what happens if nVidia launches a 512-bit controller with GDDR5?
Greetings,
The planned network provider change will not happen as planned, due to our site administrator ending in hospital as a consequence of his gliding accident. The wounds are not life-threatening but Mr. Ivica Hosko is still in the hospital, four days after the crash with transportation to Zagreb in two days time. We send our best wishes and hope for a speedy recovery. As soon as Mr. Hosko returns to his daily post, we'll announce the details of our network provider switch.
The following message is for Mr. Ivica himself: "Ivica, you nut - gliding around a 2km/6600ft mountain with changeable winds in November?"
Thanks for understanding,
Ed-in-chief
