Some pics and info about upcoming Nehalem-EP (Xeon) CPUs to servers:
These are dedicated to Movieman
I received a pic of Foxconn Nehalem-EP motherboard (codename: Tylersburg) which is a two LGA1366 socket system.
Here is a Nehalem-EP system in action in IDF Fall 2008 with 144 GB of DDR3 memory using MetaRAM technology which works by stacking up to four times more DRAM chips onto the module. A special chipset is required on the module. Windows Task Manager displays 16 CPUs (8C/16T).
The MetaRAM chipset works transparently, seen as a memory controller to the on-DIMM DRAM, yet seen by the system’s memory controller as DRAM. The chipset is then able to route the reads and writes appropriately between the DRAMs and memory controller, in an out-of-order execution, allowing the memory to still operate at standard frequency.

November will be intresting on desktop and server side
