Almost two years ago, EVGA company presented the motherboard EVGA W555 SR2, equipped with a dual-socket LGA 1366 for the six-core Xeon 5600 Westmere-EP. Intel believes that the use of Xeon processor family is not the best choice for overclockers, and even did not think to release the processor with an unlocked multiplier.
The above-mentioned motherboard EVGA corrected this misunderstanding and allow to change the bus frequency , which allowed to overclock the two Xeon processors up to 6 GHz under liquid nitrogen with 12 active core,.
Upcoming eight-core Sandy Bridge-EP, which will be collected in the range of Xeon E5, will have a TDP of up to 150 watts. They are also equipped with 20 MB cache in the third-level support four channels RAM DDR3, two QPI bus channels with a capacity of up to 8 Ghz per second and 40 lines PCI Express 3.0. In the Turbo Boost Xeon E5-2600 processor frequency should be closer to 3.1 GHz.
Intel was inspired by the success of Xeon 5600 in the field of extreme overclocking, plans to introduce models Xeon E5 with an unlocked multiplier! These processors, will cost considerably more than $ 999 .
To unlock the potential of processors will help motherboard EVGA SR-X slots with two LGA 2011 . Computer-based on EVGA, with two processors Xeon E5 with 4.5 GHz frequency will provide speed at 0.5 teraflops in double precision operations with AVX-coding, with the capacity of eight memory channels to reach 100 GB / s, and the system can easily serve up to eight graphics cards!
