Just in case anyone was curious, although I think the subject may have been covered already... am experimenting with a dual E5-2680 (2.7Ghz) setup for a couple days before turning it over. Using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit + Kraken, but no modified core as it doesn't get along with this server. (R720) System does see all 32 threads.

Anyway, it's around 8M TPF on Project 6900, Run 16, Clone 0, Gen 116. (About the same for 6900 / R27 / C12 / G137) I think it's around 145k points per unit. Just barely misses two units a day, as it's around 13h 20m per unit; am guessing nearly 300k ppd from a single 2P box wouldn't be too shabby. :p (Am now realizing that's pretty low; pity I can't tweak this thing. :( )

Somewhere I have notes on what the slower 2.2Ghz units did... need to dig them up.

All I know is... thank god I don't have to pay for these things! Yeesh! :D

Cool to see. However....

Yet just another affirmation of G34 4P goodness.
 
Well, we won't be using AMD processors... ever... for various political reasons. ;) I've argued about this a little, but since the political reason trumps all else, it really doesn't matter! heh

Hey, if you ain't paying.....
 
I have a 2P 2011 system running right now actually. I'm using extra spicy E5-2689's (2.6ghz turbo'd up @ 3.0-3.1ghz) on an Asus Z9PE-D8 WS board.

Enjoying it so far, but I am really not thrilled about the utter lack of OC with these processors. The board has tons of options for OC, but the cpu's will not POST with any sort of OC.
 
I wish my 1P S2011 system could work on those big units :/ I can cut just over 50K ppd with pedestrian SMP units tho. (Pr 8022 currently, 57K PPD estimated)

Oh I'm entirely curious, just for reference your PPD is just about double mine on a 6900 unit and about 10 hours quicker (dual x5670's).

which m/b are you using?

That system is just a touch slower than Pjkenned's e5-2690 box.
If you could dig up the numbers for the slower 2.2ghz machines I would be grateful.
Enjoy the new toys :)

Technically it's his pjkenned dual E5-2690 boxen :)

Both the sets are turbo'ing all cores to 3.3GHz which are higher than those chips. I think the ones purchased by others were not the same as retail shipping silicon.

Other notes: a 2U rackmount 2P E5-2690 machine folding = mid 70dba on the Extech... girlfriend not happy ATM.
 
Dell really jacked the price of the new E- Series line compared to the R210II considering how long it has been out and the prices just dont match.....typical dell!

anyways, enjoy!
 
The E5 processors and the chip set really inflate the price. It is not entirely Dell's fault for this fatty fat fat beast of a platform.
 
This is why we need a strong AMD. At least Opterons are competitive now. However if they fall too far behind, it will only get worse.
