5.6 GHz 12 core

Saw this interesting article on the net, 5.6 Ghz is now possible, and also support for up to 96GB of RAM. Only problem is 2kw power supply, but it shows what is coming:-

now 48 cores, that is awesome.
unfortunatly probably more for cloud (single computer to lots of dummy terminals) servers than everyday computing.

Cool 96 ram and 5.6ghz, I only have a laptop but FSX runs very smooth but thats on high performance...

I,ve come to the conclusion that there will never be a computor too fast for fsx. It will just keep rendering more. Just think, a world covered in 7cm/pixel photoreal with masses of auto gen is still far beyond the means of even the fasted i7 (and our biggest hard drives) lol. but thats what FSX was built to handle. Its hard to believe but microsoft seems to have future proofed FSX in some ways. The greatest but most unlikely thing would be for Microsoft to make the code open scoarse. Yeh like that il ever happen. They have just sold the rights to the proffesional version to boeing I think.
