The more gigahertz you see... how much acid is this guy on?

[GDRRiley]

no someone ban him you fool!!! don't buy cpus on clock speed that is how intel used to sell chips when they had lower IPC

[21rkosta]

according to him the xeon e7-8890 is a 48Ghz cpu

[The Sloth]

was this guy serious or a satire? 

[KuJoe]

I don't see a problem here, his explanation is easy to understand and it makes complete sense for his target audience. It's still relevant today, but it's comedic for most of us because nobody on this forum is the target audience.

It technically is, most people on this forum just don't use it as a 48GHz CPU.

He had a huge smile on his face after some of the remarks, but it's hard to say.

@KuJoe no its 24 seperate 2ghz processors, you put 50 men who finish 2 projects a day in an office they dont become one worker who finishes a 100 products a day their all still seperate workers just working together to achieve a goal

When you look at it in terms of productivity all you see is 100 products a day. Anybody looking at a Xeon CPU isn't looking at the results per core. Even VMware looks at the overall power when reporting on CPU resources.

 

[KuJoe]

And for the target audience of this video, all they care about it how many tabs they can have open while typing in Word and listening to iTunes... in which more cores is better for multi-tasking.

Yeah, I had to pick a smaller server that had higher CPU usage to illustrate what I meant about CPU resources being looked at overall and not as individual cores.
