Just noticed: "...2.7Ghz Sex Core (6 physical cores)...."
Bow chica bow wow
bad sales team is bad
How much better is that CPU than the Phenom II 840 x4 Quad Core (4 cores)?
I guess the Phenom has no ECC RAM where the dual Xeon does as well?
not sure, but i'm guessing because of the whole intel vs amd, as well as the desktop hardware vs server hardware stigma.
All I know is that the dual xeons are really fast.
It is tempting. I just need to find a use for it.
Yeah, I never knew what a sex core felt like without going to DataShack

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5440+@+2.83GHz
Just a single one of the 5440s is more powerful than the Phenom II.
Hmm, I see... Must resist temptation. ;-)
Agreed
Saw that too.
I would stay away from AMD, All my AMD servers have constant kernel panics.
Are they just on desktop grade systems though? I ask because I've got a Dell R415 with Dual Opterons and ECC RAM colocated locally and have no issues at all.
I also have a dedicated server from Server4You which is running an 8 core Opteron and has been perfectly stable...
anyone order this server?? email answers are so slow
@dedicados apparently presales is slow, but once you order their support is ace.
@dedicados
You might not even get an answer. Which is unfortunate.
Although, like @rsk said, once you get to that stage where they have taken your money, then the support is good.
As others have said, support is amazing once you get your log-in details.
Pretty sure datashack does this on purpose or as an inside joke. It's not the first time they have offered 'sex core' CPUs in their servers.
It is an inside joke. It started on WHT awhile back when someone typo'd it (deliberately or not... H and S are so close on the keyboard after all...)
sex is also latin for 6
@rsk @dominicl @cirium
thanks, i order one 3 days ago, hope i can get it soon
thank you guys
thank you guys
Should get it today/tomorrow.
It's also English. Single, Double, Triple, Quad, Quin, Sex, Sept, Oct, Non, Dec. Therefore "a sex core CPU" is correct.
Come on guys, English isn't my first nor second language and I knew that.
I also ordered one early on Friday, I got a few emails from them this morning, but no "welcome" email
false
sextuple
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple
l2english fool.
The quad core CPU isn't called "quadruple core", so why would the sex core be called "sextuple core"?
trolololooool, moron.
@RobertJFClarke same here, but im going to wait.
@dominicl thanks
It was never from a typo, I pointed it out to them on their first offer.
Has been intentional from the very beginning.
Should get it tomorrow. They activate your account during business hours, and then send you details within 1-2 business days.
@datashack
because quadruple is shortened to quad for marketing / simplification purposes. sextuple doesn't get shortened to sex

get off the internet
But sex is awesome! I'd like all my servers super sexy please.
