Amd is soon lunching their new processor phenon,quad, dual and tri-core on one chip, much better then the last Amd quad core attempt that consists in two dual cores on one main board “FX 74″ intel is soon lunching the new chip “Penryn” and they built this monter machine with 8 cores, thats right 8 cores, two times 4 penryn processors a dual-socket system running at 4Ghz on air, intel is now shrinking their processors from 65nm to 45nm, not only consume phenomenally less energy, they also offer outstanding overclocking potential. Even with the processor overclocked to its limit, its thermal dissipation and power consumption are almost the same of those of today’s Core 2 CPUs. at their default settings. The new SSE4 instruction set and the much larger L2 Cache of 12 MB compared with Core 2 processors are meant to give the already speedy Core 2 architecture another performance boost. The two quad-core Xeon processors are based on the Penryn core with 12 MB L2 cache, code name Harpertown, 45nm process, run at a stock clock speed of 3.4 GHz, and were overclocked to its limits at 4 GHz using a VapoChill compression-cooling system.

Intel is using the new Skulltrail motherboard with quad-SLI support and dual socket 771 “4×4 cpu” formed the basis for this system, that’s the reason for the skull-heavy, big monster design of the case. The FSB of this configuration runs at 1600 MHz (quad at 400 MHz). Intel’s monster PC features 4 GB of RAM 2 x Micron 2GB DDR2-800.
