Ahahaha ^__^

18 core (2.5 GHZ) * 8 CPU machine * HT = 288 threads or 360 Real GHz

That makes my 2x E5-2697 v3 stand in the corner looking sad :D
-
I don't know the price, but one CPU could cost... $5000 * 8 = $40.000 only for the CPUs (^___^)
And, it's so bad that we have only 8 CORE CPU $1000 for desktop... (>__>)

Hah, 165W at stock. I would not expect that from Intel :- )
Sadly it wouldn't work for rendering. For whatever reasons are behind it, while Windows perfectly supports all the cores you throw at it today, the render engines seems to struggle,
as illustrated by quite few people on Chaos forums and even two threads here I remember, with only solution being distributed rendering run under single system (multiple spawners).

So? Nvidia VCA is about 50k a pop and GPU rendering folk like to use its results in arguments ;)

I don't know if Corona will be able to handle 288 threads (maybe yes? I think we will not able to know ^__^ ) , but 360 GHZ on one machine it's incredible. Only a few years ago, we needed 10 PC!
About price, $5.000/CPU is just my suggestion. It' could be more. I think this machine will cost more that $50.000
But yes, I agree. I prefer to spend $50.000 in one CPU machine (with 128 GB RAM), than in VCA solution.

Hi. These articles from the Area explains the problem/solution:
http://area.autodesk.com/blogs/maxstation/n268-how-many-cores-does-3ds-max-support
http://area.autodesk.com/blogs/maxstation/n269-how-many-cores-does-3ds-max-support-part-2-renderers
Seems like it's a Windows limitation not handled efficient by Max ATM.
Hope it helps

Thanks PROH =) Interesting.

And as 3ds Max isn't Windows Processor Group aware it will run in a single group only
Amazing, just amazing. Almost as good as their single-core processing of most tools. Perhaps they would like to improve this...eventually.

But then they would not have time for caddies, ribbons, and view cubes!

So is the end of Moore's law?... if they can´t make it smaller they add cores?...hmm... interesting. Hows that feel for gpus. XD.

Exactly!
When will they start making Dual Xeon beast laptops, I need one for mobility.

Here
http://www.eurocom.com/
you can buy a single CPU Xeon E5-2695 V2 (24 thread) 3.2 GHz (Panther 5SE)
with 32 GB
4 HHD (RAID 10)
BluRay
But, tha CPU only cost $2200 ;-)
With High setting (Xeon, 32 Gb, 4 HHD, 8 Gb VGA) = 4.700+VAT euro!

Hello cecofuli
the best of machines

holly cow!! This thing is a beast!

Yes, I told you ;-) but it's veeery expensive!!
-
Wow just even on of these 18 core Xeons will smash my i7-2700k.
I'd love to get a new PC thats 4 times as fast as my i7-2700k in one CPU.
-
Is it really possible to add 8 CPUs in 1 machine??? I only seen mobos with 4 cpu slots, they now have 8??
-
I think you have to see some Supermicro solution for RACK hardware.
