Intel company already several years openly demonstrate its sympathies with respect to overclockers, not only creating the suitable for overclock processors and motherboard , but also sponsoring profile measures. In the Chinese market was created the Pentium E6500K.
In the segment of server processor Intel recently count on the increase in the quantity of core and effectiveness but not increase in the frequencies. Special hopes in this plan are laid for the processors nehalem-EX with eight cores, which will be released in the following half-year.
In addition to the 8 core version nehalem-EX will be proposed a special version of processor for cluster systems and supers-computer, which will have only six cores, but will obtain higher frequency in comparison with its 8 core analogs. With some types of load high frequency is more important for the performance than the quantity of core. In one super-computer it will be possible to combine up to 256 such processors.
