Intel unveils 6-core chip, as Unisys touts 96 cores
As Intel officially unveiled its six-core "Dunnington" Xeon 7400 processor Monday, Unisys rolled out servers boasting up to 96 cores--with a catch.

The catch, Windows supports a maximum of 64 cores (Linux can do the full 96).
While they suggest that windows would run 4 cores per CPu with all sockets loaded, it would presumably be more power-efficient to only load 10 sockets with 6 core chips, for a 60 core windows server.

Does anyone REALLY need that much processing power? I seriously doubt it. Maybe scientists, but that's about it.

initial price will be like 1500 bucks or something rediculious with poor overclocking potential.. or extreme heat

Stupid question, but are these gonna be LGA771 or LGA775? I've always thought Xeons run on 771 or am i wrong in thinking that?

they'll likely be 771..... i would only expect it..
however the desktop versions will likely be 775... but i'm also expecting that intel will be making a socket change here fairly soon.
