At the last minute, I ended up getting this memory instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820242278 It says 2400, but it is 2Rx4 .... what is the difference between 2Rx4 and 2Rx8 ?

Alright guys, I'm taking one for the team. I'll report back if it works with the E5-1650v4 chip that I purchased along with the ASROCK Taichi 2011-v3 motherboard (which is super sweet looking).

I was looking at this memory: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-DDR4-2133-Server-Memory-M393A4K40BB0-CPB/dp/B00X04FO9K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1481751920&sr=8-2&keywords=32GB+ddr4+ECC I want to use it with a 1650v4 CPU, but I have heard that the 16xx family Xeons do not support LRDIMMs. How can...

Is there any technical reason they can't be produced? There are lots of smaller motherboards that support Skylake processors with 2 SODIMM slots that could benefit from the extra RAM.

I am looking for a motherboard with 12 DIMM slots that will be used with an E5-1650v4 CPU. Since the E5-16xx family doesn't support LR-Dimms, I'm limited to 32GB memory DIMMs. I would like to maximize the amount of memory I can install in this situation. Can anyone recommend a decent...

With indexes, approximately 3 terabytes.

So looking at a board like this (https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X10SRL-F.cfm), would I be able to populate it with 4 x of the Samsung 960 Pro 2Tb NVEm cards? I'm building a server to run Postgres with a very large database on a ZFS filesystem using LZ4 compression...

How would one easily determine the maximum number of NVMe drives a motherboard could support? Would it depend on the number of PCIe lanes? The number of slots? Are there any NVMe PCIe boards that allow two NVMe drives (for an x8 PCIe slot?) Thanks!

What's strange is that Passmark shows the v3 to be faster (although there is currently only one 1650 v4 sample). PassMark - CPU Performance Comparison

First they laid off 12,000 of their workforce. Now they are cancelling "Braxton," their (previously) upcoming Atom chip and have conceded defeat to ARM in the mobile market. They're apparently bowing out of the PC market as well. What the hell is happening? Is there something going on within...

Intel released the 26xx chips on March 31, but I don't see the 16xx Xeons anywhere or any mention of a release date for them.

Does anyone know when the Xeon Broadwell E5's will be available? I am having difficulty finding a release date online. Thanks!

Do you know anything about software design or computer science? There are many problems that don't work well with parallel optimizations. This is probably one of the worse comments I've read on this board -- which usually consists of people very knowledgeable about computers.

I'm having a hard time finding a release date online for these chips. Isn't it supposed to be this quarter?

I found this somewhat recent article on Kaby Lake: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/11/17/details-of-intel-corps-upcoming-kaby-lake-chip-lea.aspx tl;dr: * 24 PCIe 3.0 lanes (up from 20) * 10-bit HEVC and 10-bit VP9 streams directly in hardware (up from 8-bit capability) *...

From what I understand, these NUC's will be able to hold 32 GB of RAM since they use DDR4.

I thought they were going to be released "later this year" back in July. Does "later this year" mean next year in Intel time?

Maybe they know the current stepping is fucked up and they're waiting for the next stepping before general U.S. release?

If a CPU was superconducting and created virtually no heat, exactly how high of an overclock could be obtained before timing irregularities caused issues?

Just got my 6700k. Currently have it overclocked to 4,800 Ghz. Very pleased with the speed.

Correct. Skylake can easily do 64 GB -- if only 16 GB unbuffered DDR4 would show up in stock.

That's erroneous. With DDR4, Skylake can use 64 GB of DDR4 dual channel.

32 GB (2x16) for $289 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0134EW44S/?tag=pcpapi-20 Since it is dual channel, there is no performance penalty for just getting two of them and then eventually upgrading to 64GB down the road.

Skylake DDR4 motherboards (dual channel memory) can handle 64 GB.

I'll most likely upgrade to Skylake, but only when 16 GB unbuffered, non-ECC DDR4 DIMMS are finally available. 64 GB would be great for a 1151 motherboard, but there aren't any available (or none that I can easily find that are in stock).

Something else I am wondering with these benchmarks. A couple new processor extensions have come out over the past several years and software usually takes several more years before compilers are updated to take advantage of the new extensions. Wouldn't it be likely that recent CPUs would...

I bet if they showed flops per watt, the growth would be a lot more interesting. That, to me, is the true representation of growth. Not all optimizations are going to show up in the CPU performance benchmarks. There will also me massive gains in energy consumption with respect to performance...

You can read more about it here: http://wccftech.com/intel-skylake-6600k-6700k-facing-supply-problems/ If this is true, I think it demonstrates that we've reached the limit without using EUV. This may be why Cannonlake was pushed back indefinitely.

I have some custom software that does a lot of DB operations and I was looking to get as much cache as possible for it.

Does anyone have any information on the maximum size memory configuration (DDR4) for the Skylake family of CPUs? I'm hoping it is > 32GB?

I'll be happy if I can run Skylake reliably at 4.6 on decent voltages without heat problems. I'll take a 10% bump over Haswell. It's not like we'll see Cannonlake anytime soon.

I have an Intel Vermelha with motherboard and 4 TB of DDR6 memory if anyone is interested. It was manufactured in your year 2034. Clock speed is 8.6 Ghz and it has 64 cores. It's comparable to the Intel Cinza ( ~ 10 petaflops). Unfortunately, it's locked.

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/209523-ibm-announces-7nm-breakthrough-builds-first-test-chips-on-new-process-with-euv Today, the firm is announcing the first test silicon on the 7nm process node. The new chips were built in partnership with GlobalFoundries, Samsung, and IBM’s equipment...

Does anyone know how much total system memory the consumer Skylakes will support? 64GB? 128GB?

Beating a dead horse, now.

Now find out which one overclocks better and then send the other one back.

My best guess is that doing N multi-patterning where N > X isn't economically viable any longer and they're waiting for EUVL to get its shit together.

After looking at the price and performance features, it is pretty insane that you can now get a mini-ITX 8 core Xeon with support for 128 GB ECC memory and 10 Gb NIC for $800. Actually, this would make a kick-ass database server for the cheap. I'll have to look at it more closely, but it has...

A quick web search shows that these boards are very hard to find yet apparently are already released.

I'm posting this from the year 2043. We're still using 14nm. It's over guys. Enjoy what you're using now, because we're still using Skylake processors. In fact, I have a friend who keeps saying that there's no reason to upgrade from Sandy Bridge -- for the past 30 years.
