Bare Minimum for a X99 based CPU?

[gudenau]

I was just thinking "wouldn't it be fun to have a 5960X in an android device?".

 

Because of this I would like to know what the absolute minimum hardware required to spin one up would be. I know this is not practical in any way, just a question.

just a 2011 socket, and power really. functional? no, turn on? yes.

I did mean to have some code running.

I think power is very limiting factor for trying to put a 5960x in a phone.

Assuming you get past that, heat is a major problem.

Now, if you get past both of those, your phone's power level is now over 9000...

Are you referring to android mobile devices because there's a little thing called tdp you should read up on it.

easy, you could make/get an android OS for a "pc" and run it with a 5960X

Ok, read the post please, there is not much text.

you could always also just run x86 android on a x99 hardware

Android is optimized for 32, that's another thing.

I know, I like the thought experiment. But seriously, heat and power are the only real constraints at play. Maybe cost too, I'd love to have a even laptop with 5960x  grade CPU in it. That would be so good.
