This morning Intel will be introducing the Xeon 5300 series, or perhaps better known by its codename of Clovertown. At Phoronix we have had these processors in-house for over a week now and today are able to share our thoughts on these quad-core server/workstation processors as we test them under GNU/Linux.
Is Quad-Core obselete already? Phoronix is taking a look at an Octal-Core server setup that proves to make quite a difference when compared to Netburst Xeons. Of course, what do you expect from eight freaking cores??
