Twitter Survey

[John P. Myers]

(Potentially) important survey: Survey: Would you buy a 12 cores CPU Extreme edition Unlocked at the price of the 12 cores Xeon? (https://twitter.com/FPiednoel/status/396656918975889408/photo/1)

This would be a 12 core IB-E, compatible with current motherboards. If you agree with this survey (or just think it'd be really cool to see it happen), simply re-tweet to make your vote count.

2 very important things to note here:

1) If you read the comments under the survey, you'll see Francois, the guy who issued the survey, mentioned BOINC by name. So he's aware of BOINC. This is important because...
2) Francois is a Principal Engineer/Performance Architect at Intel

Happy re-tweeting ;)

Cool \m/

Out of curiosity, how did you happen to come across this..?

It's Beer's fault...Trigggl's too

Beer started a thread about the Xeon Phi which got me thinking about it again. Then Trigggl posted his charts and some info and i was reading stuff, looking at stuff, daydreaming, then i entered "boinc xeon phi" in a google search and there you have it.

He's not someone i know personally, if that's what you're getting at :p

I'd be glad to test any engineering samples for them =))
