If you're interested in what AMD has to offer, you can look at this:
----------------------------------------Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131643 CPU(s): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?It...344&IsVirtualParent=1 I used to have this exact motherboard and had no issues with it at all. The CPU's are latest gen 12 core models but you can get the magny-cours 12 core cpu's used off of Ebay for much less. 24 cores for $1250 (cpu and mobo) then add some ram and a power supply (make sure PSU has 2 8 pin cpu power connectors on it).

I wonder if these Dual-CPU setups are really the best choice? Sure, 12 or 16 cores are faster than 4 cores, but much more expensive also.
If I want to maximize my WCG Points in comparison to overall cost (Hardware + electricity cost), whats best? A bunch of consumer PCs or one multiprocessor setup? As far as I see, Multiprocessor systems cost more per computing power and energy efficiency is comparable to high end consumer processors (if you compare core count, clock and TDP). Or is there anything I miss? |

Pandelta, I just promised my wife no more upgrades and LOOK WHAT YOU POINT OUT! "Ivy Bridge E5-2600v2 based 8/16, 10/20 and 12/24 core processors" Now I have to research... Nah, this would be better.... http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Haswell-X-Xeon-EP-Intel,23477.html wow, that one chip more cores than my 3 machines...  |

Or is there anything I miss? They're not necessarily a better choice, but they allow you to do more work per machine. It's personal preference. I love seeing 24 tasks going at once on one monitor though! |
