Surely they need memory bandwidth with all those GX2's so i assume they are using AMD's still superior bandwidth, even if the rest of their chip sucks, they on die controller was a brilliant idea.
I'm pretty sure that intel doesn't have an off-the-shelf motherboard with four PCIe-2.0 slots spread out like this so that rules out every intel processor. If the 9800gx2s are doing the work, you could probably run an Semprom and still get the same speed for this kind of work.
That's my processor right there. It's pretty decent, but in my particular setup, need some graphics enhancements. This will do nicely, for when I make $75,000 a year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
"...an AMD Phenom 9850 processor..."
lol
Muppet. Did you stop to think that the mainboard might not just support an Intel CPU?
Besides with that power, what does it matter anyway?
someone obviously doesn't know why they used an AMD proc
My thoughts exactly Pochi :D
What a failtastic CPU for an otherwise awesome machine....
Those two 9800GX2s in the middle will melt at full load also......
@maty
Did you stop to think that it should have?
@mike
Someone obviously doesn't!
Pochi, they don't need the best processor in the world. The GPU's are doing all the work anyway.
I did.
But then again, I'm not the mainboard manufacturer. And neither are you.
So quit yo jibba jabber, crazy foo'!

...YOU DID WHAT WITH OUR GRANT MONEY!!???!!...but it plays crysis!

lol, fair enough. Maybe we SHOULD be...
Maybe if you watch the other videos, they may explain why it is that way.

BUT, and I know you all don't wanna hear this...
CAN IT RUN CRYSIS????
It should be able to, but we need a benchmark done to know for sure.
Hey Mister loves the caps lock.
What did I tell you about posting?
DO IT MAN.
