This might be a usful small Home workstation and miniserver.

Naples is an expected more server oriented 16 core chip coming soon going into a 2 socket motherboard with massive memory server applications for enterprise level sites.

I am interested in this.

I’m doing video editing/rendering. I’ve got cpu lust.

AMD and it’s cores. Fools’ errand. You can bet Intel Celeron beats this.

I’ve read that multiple cores is mostly a sales gimmick and a waste because the vast majority of software on the market isn’t even programmed to split instructions across the multiple cores.

Does it render Minesweeper in 4K?

[Bob434]

will windows 7 be supported if it’s installed on such an architecture? MS is dropping updates for 7 if users have a new itnel processor

[LegendHasIt]

So... Will they be building CIA /NSA spyware into the architecture?

Workstations as VM hosts. That’s the future of computing and should be AMD’s focus. They are only competing with Intel on low end budget computing. Horrible margins there.

Why do I still have to pay $1000 for the hardware to run 4 VM OSs on my workstation host? Because I can only use Intel i7 CPUs. No competition. What’s next, Intel Care, where everyone has to buy an Intel CPU whether they use it or not?

Amazing...I still remember my first PC, the PET. ConservaTeen can’t believe how slow it is...I thought it was fast... :-)

But will it be good enough to have Windows 7 support?

That would also be awesome for a Vmware VDI server, hosting multiple virtual workstations. For standard business "work," one processor could probably handle 60 or more virtual desktops.
