--- Quote ---The Ivy Bridge LGA1155 processors inbound for April are mom and pop PC chips in front of the monstrosities Intel has planned for the enterprise (and possibly high-end desktop/HEDT) markets, based on the architecture. An 10-core Ivy Bridge-EP engineering sample, made it to the right hands in Taiwan (wrong hands for Intel), that wasted no time in putting them through some tests.
The 10-core Ivy Bridge-EP/EX chip (LGA2011, 2P-capable) features 10 next-generation cores clocked at 2.80 GHz, with 256 KB L2 cache per core, 30 MB shared L3 cache, and HyperThreading technology that enables 20 logical CPUs. This chip crunched WPrime 1024M in 158.5 seconds, and scores 41.78X relative speed in Fritz chess when just 8 of its 20 threads are put to use. You can also find some pretty screen shots of CPU-Z with its long processor selection list and Windows 8 task manager.

Assuming the price will be same as intel's extreme I'm not sure if I would spend that much but having 10 cores with HT (making 20 threads in total) might convince more people then normal to spend the $1000. Not sure if I would but if I do I wouldn't have to upgrade to anything for many generations.

No price has been announced yet but it's an extreme edition CPU so most likely $1000
GoGeTa006:
I have a quad core and I feel like Im wasting 2 of those cores. . . I need to go work at Pixar/Dreamworks and put my whole system to work FFS =,=
and many "high end" games are barely going into dual core (at high settings) AFAIK
and now you tell me this?
10 cores?
worst thing. . .is that I WANT NAO!
Ivy bridge = 3D transistors
Saras:
I don't know about personal use. But my lab might get a few of them, lol. While it doesn't compare to the 2000 core mainframe running at the moment that's shared between the faculties. It offers a nice alternative for individual labs.
