Applications that could use the extra processing power are being updated to support such hardware availability.

Of course Microsoft Office/Open Office, Firefox, Opera, IE, Yahoo Messenger, MSN messenger, etc are some apps that would benefit little to none if they were made to support multithreading.

First of all, Nehalem-EP (aka "gainestown" )is a quad-core part designed for dual-processor workstations, whereas Nehalem-EX ("beckton) is the 8-core part designed for 4+ socket servers.

Secondly, the 4+ socket Xeons always come out way later than the single or dual-socket, considering they are usually more complex and meant for the highest end of servers. Intel's roadmap has showed the 4+ socket Nehalem to be coming out in 2010!]]>Jan 29th 2009 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/intel-said-to-be-prepping-eight-core-xeon-for-launch-next-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/intel-said-to-be-prepping-eight-core-xeon-for-launch-next-month/Jan 29th 2009 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/intel-said-to-be-prepping-eight-core-xeon-for-launch-next-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/intel-said-to-be-prepping-eight-core-xeon-for-launch-next-month/Jan 29th 2009 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/intel-said-to-be-prepping-eight-core-xeon-for-launch-next-month/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/intel-said-to-be-prepping-eight-core-xeon-for-launch-next-month/Jan 29th 2009 6:19PM
