New Beefy Servers
Sept 9, 2007 - "B33FY" New Servers! You read the title right, the build of these new servers is "B-3-3-F-Y" spells b33fy. Each server is equipped with two (2) Quad Core Xeon® Processor X5355's. That is two (2) new machines each with eight cores, for a whopping sixteen new processor cores. If you aren't aware of how fast a Quad Core Xeon® Processor X5355 is then you should check out its specifications: Each processor has a 2x4MB Cache and runs at 2.66GHz, 1333MHz FSB. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor X5355 is Intel's premier solution for the growing computing and data needs of many business-critical applications, and provides the most headroom (threads and performance) for "virtualized" server environments of any dual processor standard high volume server platform. Combined with the Intel® Fully Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) memory technology, the new Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® X5355 processor delivers breakthrough performance with better power efficiency, delivering up to 1.5 times the performance compared to leading Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series in the same power envelope and up to 2.5 times the performance compared to the best published results of AMD Opteron* Model 2220 And we've just got our hands on four of those puppies (2 per server)! When combined with our OC-192 IP network these servers are going to be providing you a smooth, smooth, dare we say "Gosu," 100 tic online gaming experience. |
