Behold! The Large Pixel Collider is the most powerful PC we've ever built - Sensationalist Headlines

Jesus, that article. "We're absolute madmen!"

somebody at pc gamer should at least watch linustechtips on pc performance to know they got something that's not as powerful as something they could had got for less. You can read a book, but I mentioned linus is because he makes it easy to understand.

Can't wait for it to run some games like shit because they're just badly optimized

"We bought a shitload of expensive PC parts and slapped them together!"

[quote] It is actually impossible to install more RAM [/quote] Just get a server motherboard you sleezy fucks. Then they could've also have gotten the Intel Xeon E5-2695 V4 18-core CPU, and maybe even two of them. Even if Xeon isn't better than i7, 18 cores surely is better than 10 in multicore intense workloads. Otheriwse, if just for the 4Ghz and the Intel instructionset optimizations, then a 10-core is just pure waste with no real gain.

4x 10TB HDDs? Are you gonna download EVERYTHING?

Hell even the 10 core i7 won't be using all the cores to run any given game. I think currently games are optimized to run at max 6 cores? and that's a very small selection of games. Most are made for 4 cores. What I will say about these guys is they definitely have more money than brains.

Just because it says "server" doesn't mean it can't hit 240FPS in Crysis 3. About the 18 cores, that was my point exactly. 10 cores, 18 cores, it doesn't matter. But if you want better parallel performance, then 18 cores is a lot better than 10 cores, even if those 10 cores are 4.0Ghz overclocked, and this is physical cores of course, where the number of threads with hyperthreading enabled is twice that. The entire point I was making was that if you want the biggest beast, 2TB of DDR4 RAM is easily doable in a server, with 3-way SLI of 1080s and 2 18-core Intel Xeon CPUs. It'll be expensive as shit though, but what limit is there? I don't see one on pricing in that article for sure.

They literally admit that it's just a marketing gimmick. [t]http://i.imgur.com/xghQPZC.png[/t] Meh, just move on. [t]http://i.imgur.com/6HvZCfi.png[/t] This is one giant ad to bring more visitors really, not much else.

Even says this is apart of the marketing and advertising deals. Also can a mod change the title to "Behold! PC Gamer shills for Intel without being upfront about it"
