10-core Ivy Bridge-EP Sample Tested

The Ivy Bridge LGA1155 processors inbound for April are mom and pop PC chips in front of the monstrosities Intel has planned for the enterprise (and possibly high-end desktop/HEDT) markets, based on the architecture. An 10-core Ivy Bridge-EP engineering sample, made it to the right hands in Taiwan (wrong hands for Intel), that wasted no time in putting them through some tests.

I look forward to it

I might have to go ahead and upgrade early when it comes out

Yummy. I wanted to wait for this but unfortunately if I hadn't spent the allocation I had last quarter it probably would've disappeared, so I had to add another Westmere-based system. Might be a while before corporate frees up such spending money again depending on the economy...
