Alessandro17 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Well, at least if we can't dream of a better Mackintosh (yet), we can dream of a better hackintosh Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38171-intel-demos-eight-core-pc-motherboard/#findComment-272423 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro17 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 the Mac Pro can already run 8 cores... Too bad I only have 4 :/ That is an expensive way of doing things... (it means, if I am not mistaken, buying a Pro with two dual Xeons and replacing them with two quad ones) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38171-intel-demos-eight-core-pc-motherboard/#findComment-272671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMX-Knuckles Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 A few people on the 2cpu forums have had quadcore CPUs for awhile, and there's a few with 4 socket AMD motherboards and dualcore procs. What would be really nice is if any of these were within reach of "normal" users. Intel x5000-based motherboards run at least $400 so even dual-dualcore Xeons are very expensive ATM.
