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...

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!

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.

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) *...

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

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.

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

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...

I have never had issues with using fstrim in Ubuntu before, but with this drive, I am getting: fstrim: /: FITRIM ioctl failed: Input/output error Has anyone seen this error before? Do the Pro versions do their own garbage collection?

If heat dissipation wasn't an issue, what physically would be the next limiting factor to higher clock speeds (10+ Ghz, etc.) Would it be timing issues between various parts of the CPU due to the limitations of C?

I was looking at E-bay earlier tonight and noticed this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-E5-2667-V3-ES-2-9Ghz-35MB-8-Core-16-threads-LGA2011-3-22nm-135W-US/271881354805 That is a Xeon E5-2667 v3 CPU going for a little over $500 (which seems too good to be true). For the price...

I noticed that a lot of motherboards list 128GB as the max ram (it has 8 RAM slots). However, Samsung is now making 32GB DDR4 DIMMS (M386A4G40DM0-CPB). The CPU itself (E5-1660 v3) says it is capable of handling well north of 256GB. Would these motherboards support 256GB of RAM even though...

Has anyone found any information about what will be coming post Cannonlake? Whatever it is, it will be a 10nm die that is a new architecture. Which Intel team is working on it? Anyone have any clues?

I know there has been some recent discussion of the E5-16xx Xeons being unlocked -- but is the E5-26xx v3 series also unlocked? Can anyone confirm or deny?

I keep hearing about reviews for NUCS like the Gigabyte's GB-BXi7H-5500 and several Intel Broadwell NUCS but I've been unable to find them for sale anywhere. Does anyone know what date they will be released?

I feel like Intel has announced Broadwell over and over at places like CES but there is still nothing (or very little) product available. Has anyone heard any solid dates for retail availability?

I'm looking for a VP9 encoder for Windows or Linux. Does such a beast exist?

I'm confused about Intel's constantly changing time-table. I've heard that the Skylake Xeons will be released in 2015 2H and the Broadwell Xeon's will be released 2015 2Q. Is this still the case? Why would they even bother releasing the Broadwell Xeons if they're just going to release the...

On a whim to play with some new toys, I purchased an Intel Edison along with the mini-breakout board. (It's on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Edison-Breakout-Components-EDI1BB-AL-K/dp/B00ND1KNXM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1419150790&sr=8-2&keywords=intel+edison) This board has...

What's the deal with Extreme ultraviolet lithography? Have they worked out the power issues yet? We're going to need it to get below 10nm, right?

I thought it was already released but I can't seem to find a retail boxed version of it online.

Is there such a beast?

I'm not sure how fast the new Haswell-E 8 core extreme CPU clocks in at, but I'm assuming somewhere north of 250 Gigaflops. It seems like since Sandy Bridge, we really haven't seen many gains in terms of raw speed. I realize that there have been a lot of new instructions released and it...

64GB or 128GB? I've seen both. Can we get confirmation from someone in the know if the three new Haswell-E (X99 Platform) chips can address 16gb SIMMS when they are finally available?

I've noticed that Intel has yet to announce any projects past Cannonlake. Broadwell has been hit with a lot of delays due to refining the 14nm process node which hasn't gone as quickly as they would have liked. This means that once Broadwell is officially released, there is only one more tick...

I'm curious if the extreme platform ever supported a multi-CPU setup. I'm assuming there is something on the CPU itself that determines whether or not that is possible. I understand that most Xeons support a multi-CPU configuration, but has that ever been possible with the Extreme platform...

I've heard rumors that Macbook's new Air laptop will be pushed back into 2015 because of Broadwell delays. Does anyone have the full story on this? What's the current release schedule for Broadwell? When will I be able to order a Broadwell CPU from Amazon?

I'm curious why Devil's Cannon would be on anyone's upgrade roadmap when Broadwell should be out in 6 months? Is Intel doing this to milk every dollar out of the upgrade path from users? What's the benefit of getting a Haswell refresh when Broadwell will be offering 30% power savings and a...

I've noticed that Cannonlake will be 10nm and should be out around 2016. There are two more nodes that Intel believes it can achieve. 7nm may be in the early research stages at this time (I can't confirm until I speak to my source at Intel). 5nm is probably not in the lab at all, but Intel...

Does anyone have any updates on Broadwell? Any early engineering sample reviews? Release date predictions? Any Intel insiders want to throw us a bone? What's going on with 14nm? Did they work out their yield issues?

I was thinking about purchasing a video card for some online gaming and was curious if the CPU could overclock easier without the heat generated from the on-die GPU? Has anyone tested this?

Purpose: I'm putting together a project to catalog and make available for search all Reddit comments ever posted. That's around 1.1 billion comments in total. I've had success using my laptop, but I've maxed out my 16 gigs of RAM and 3630QM processor. I'd like to get a 4770k processor...

When you go back to the very beginning (to the days of the 4004 chip and going forward), which Intel chip or architecture offered the greatest performance leap compared to its predecessor? What kind of performance leap was it? Also, which Intel chip do you feel had the best overclocking...

I'd prefer an ASUS or Lenovo (I've never had bad luck with those brands). A backlit keyboard would also be very nice. My budget is $1,000. A generation 4 i5 or i7 would be ideal. I need a laptop with four memory SIMMS (32 gigs total) due to development work with very large datasets. I...

Is it usually on the day of the official launch that sites like Hard Forum can release benchmarks and reviews without ruffling Intel's feathers?

... and past 5ghz with just 1.008 volts. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20130503174250_Intel_Core_i7_4770K_Haswell_Overclocked_to_7_01GHz_Report.html I wonder if Intel is changing the chip build for Haswell compared to that cheap shit they used for Ivy Bridge. 7ghz is...
