Is that a jab at Itanium? Anyway 2ghz is a very 2020 speed, there's loads of brand new processors operating at that speed, especially when they've got 16 cores

Looking again, it's 8 cores at 1.5 GHz which is probably equivalent to 1 GHz out-of-order cores. I'd guess similar single-thread performance to a Pentium III.

  No, you misread, it's 16 cores at 2ghz. It also has 10GbE and many PCIe 3.0 lanes. Are you alright?

      That's the old one they're putting in this kickstarter motherboard. I thought we were discussing the state of the Elbrus CPU's in general.
