Yes I know that xeons are meant for server use, require different motherboards and you can have more than one of them in a box.
But technically how is a xeon processor itself different from a regular core 2 processor?
Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at stackoverflow):
In general, there is a Xeon equivalent for each.
Otherwise the basic processor core is much but more reliable than their consumer equivalents.
Crippled to prevent it working in multiprocessor systems.

I have a thread which produces data in the form of simple object (record). The thread may produce a thousand records for each one that successfully passes a filter and is actually enqueued. Once the object is enqueued it is read-only.

I would recommend against OpenMP, OpenMP is more for numerical codes rather than consumer/producer model.

How would things change if a dramatic revolution was made in processor technology with regard to development. For example what if a single cpu was as strong as a cluster? What would happen to security?

I remember when a processor with a 1MHz clock revolution was made in processor technology with regard to development.

Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at stackoverflow):
The cache sizes vary by processor family sub-models, so they typically are not in the IA-32 development.
Here is the documentation you want.
At the consumer specifications, not the developer specifications.

Now that systems are 64-bit, why do manufacturers still limit most PCs (laptops and desktops) to a paltry RAM capacity of 4GB - 8GB?
In '94 I paid an extra $300 when I ordered my first PC to increase the initial RAM from 8MB to 16MB... but the system ...

So, what do you think consumer PCs need?

Is there any development to making multiple processor motherboards? So that instead of throwing away our old chips we could re-use them. Can Windows support multiple CPU processors ?

The motherboard is an Asus A7M-266D.
They were official Single Processor, but the "lead pencil" trick made them into Multi Processor.
