intel 8 cpu gaming power

intel as amd showed today its advance on the desktop market for multiprocessor platform.
In this AMD had the first step. Announcing the gaming platform quad FX on the base of two dual cores processors athlon of 64 FX-7x, company attempted to give although some answer to the series four core processor solutions intel, since its microprocessors with four core AMD will be released not beforethe middle of present year.
But intel dont wait long and showed its answer after demonstrating on the exhibition CES 2007 the multicpu gaming system:

Four cooler on the lateral panel
For cooling two would be sufficient

Two four core Clovertown on the green motherboard

Intel company used the same approach as AMD. Gaming platform V8, is based on motherboard for the two-processor working stations. Two four core servers processor series xeon 5300 (Clovertown) thus in the sum of cpu present in such pcis equal to eight processor cores. will we able today to use this power, this is already another question. In any case this would be highly improbable, that Intel will intended to begin the deliveries of similar systems. Most likely, the demonstration of gaming solutions is not more than answer to amd system

.
Motherboard for the multiprocessor working stations on the base of processors xeon are released by many producers. They ae based on chipset series intel 5000x and they are not cheap. In the demonstration system as the memory are installed buffred memory FB-DIMM with a total volume of 4 GB. Graphic adapter from NVIDIA series geForce 8800. Chipset i5000X (Glidewell for working stations) support one slot PCI express x16. it do not use two adapters in the regime SLI.In this plan the platform AMD quad FX wins. From other side, the maximum consumption of the pair microprocessors athlon of 64 FX-7x can reaches 250 W, whereas the pair Of xeon 5300 consumes not more than 160 W.
Finally, in as the best traditions finnich with benchmark, intel company brings the results of tests 3DMark 2006 CPU. Its system on the pair of processors xeon 5300 collected 6089 points. System on the base of two 3- GHz AMD FX-74 can get only 3990 marks.
