asciilifeform: more or less any pre-2011 opteron.
asciilifeform: otherwise -- opteron
asciilifeform: (must point out, though, opteron was not a cheap-side chip, and the mobo that ate it -- also was not, was top-of-the-line in amd world)
mircea_popescu: i guess if you bought it when it came out the opteron was like 1k or some shit.
asciilifeform: what it is, is the konsoomer version of the opteron i actually have in the box i am sitting on nao!
asciilifeform: welcome, ben_vulpes , to the dour world of amd opteron et al, where 'working box is moarprecious than gold, because gold is merely an element in mendeleev table and you can always get more, but there will only get fewer boxes, and quickly'
pete_dushenski: 'except opteron' (tm) (r)
asciilifeform: failure to fabricate opteron in kitchen - also sloth ?
asciilifeform: (this is mainly academic exercise, 74xxx do not grow on trees any more than 'opteron' does.)
asciilifeform: it is quite the same with 10,000 opteron cpu.
asciilifeform: (see thread re 'opteron' etc)
asciilifeform: btw i found that old opteron is being sold surplus by the tonne

asciilifeform: in not entirely unrelated news, old-stock opteron cpus are being sold in crates of 1,000+, for ~1-2 usd/ea. in qty.
assbot: Logged on 06-02-2016 07:22:28; mircea_popescu: computers should come on fucking fabric already, i go to the shop buy 8 meters of opteron.
BingoBoingo: Well more core makes sense on 1 level, places to put other shit. It's what buying opteron fabric by the yard would be based on
mircea_popescu: computers should come on fucking fabric already, i go to the shop buy 8 meters of opteron. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 05:13:11; BingoBoingo: Dual opteron, apparently only text mode works but who needs graphics when you have two opterons?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Dual opteron could be useful in workstation.
BingoBoingo: Dual opteron, apparently only text mode works but who needs graphics when you have two opterons? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Anyways provided Joe's people provided accurate accounting for the wares they are leasing processor in box is "Opteron 170" so not the newest bos in the world
assbot: Logged on 21-12-2015 04:05:49; punkman: but no opteron?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349091 << not only no opteron, but the benchmark itself is gimmicked - use of magical intel instructions ☝︎
punkman: but no opteron? ☟︎
asciilifeform: i have opteron boxes from dell. afaik even this is out of print.
gernika: ascii_field Thought it was real - 32 GB ecc ram, opteron 4226.
pete_dushenski: just checked local classifieds, whole box with 'opteron' can be had for as little as $150 still
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-09-2015#1281036 << amd opteron is the single most precarious 'strategic good' in my particular household (can't speak for others) ☝︎
ascii_field: find me a 2007 amd opteron socket-1207 cpu on ali.
trinque: mod6: I've got an opteron box, pogo, i7, obsd i386, off the top of my head
BingoBoingo: 24BG of RAM on an Opteron machine at that price, shit is better than Ebay
BingoBoingo: It really would. Or what was that thing which clustered a bunch of opteron slices.
asciilifeform: hell, the 8MB cache of my ancient 'opteron' is more than i had in my 486dx2
williamdunne: Their 24 core opteron things
nubbins`: ascii_field why opteron?
assbot: HP XW9400 Workstation 8 Cores AMD Opteron 2 5GHz 8GB RAM FX1800 768MB Computer | eBay ... ( http://bit.ly/1bJIlXA )
pete_dushenski: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/HP-XW9400-Workstation-8-Cores-AMD-Opteron-2-5GHz-8GB-RAM-FX1800-768MB-Computer-/201226732787?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eda0c44f3 << maybe 20 pogos worth of opteron here
thestringpuller: ascii_field: I'm just jelly cause I was always too poor to own an opteron machine. I had to stick with the lesser Athlons
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: do you know of any information about AMD Opteron's k8 microcode or the chip in question? I found http://www.securiteam.com/securityreviews/5FP0M1PDFO.html but nothing else on the matter. Also, do you know of a better place to ask this question? I'm not a haxx0r.
BingoBoingo: So I'm pricing used workstations. All of the opteron based stuff in the past 6 years is pretty equivalent, yes?
mircea_popescu: "Of note is the 3.2GHz Pentium 4, coming in competitive with the G5, but significantly behind the Opteron and Athlon 64 systems."" << i wonder if these two share tech.
asciilifeform: e.g. an 'amd opteron' wouldn't cost any less than what we pay for it here, wherever else on the planet you might go
kakobrekla: so you saying dual opteron from 2010? betas today top dog single core ?
Diablo-D3: opteron memory controllers talk to each other to synchronize various things
midnightmagic: It's an Opteron 854 based machine. Opteron 854s are single-core. You tell me how many sockets.
Diablo-D3: Ive never seen a single opteron box ever say more than one node
Diablo-D3: so if opteron was actually numa like you thought it was, it'd look like that except 24 cores
Diablo-D3: and more importantly, who would buy it when they could buy functioning opteron and xeon boxes instead?
smickles: yeah, i like all the new data, but i still haven't updated the relavent parts of my 'opteron' program
