At 1.250V, the default core voltage of our Core 2 Extreme QX9775 CPUs was slightly higher than that if the QX9770 desktop model. At the same speed, the desktop part uses a slightly lower core voltage.
Compared to the desktop CPU, which is practically identical to the new Skulltrail parts, Intel has raised the core voltage by 0.075 Volts. Nonetheless, the QX9775 offers the better overclocking potential.

but if you have that much money in the first place... they won't shiv a git about their energy costs
page 14 - two copies of same "Power Consumption 100% Load" graph = boob??!!
Spuddyt you're wrong!!
Anyone buying this board will have problems paying off those maxed out credit cards when their power bill comes in!! (Well we are talking enthusiasts right??)

I bet the lack of memory speed settings is more than just a beta issue... Intel will use it as a means of preventing ludicrous levels of Xeon overclocking and force anyone crazy enough to buy SkullTrail back onto the crack... er, I mean back to EEs, with their unlocked multiplier, relatively poor overclockability and 500% price premium. Per CPU.
I want this board. Put 2x xenons in there for $250 a piece and get a true 8core system for $1000..
Anyone know where we can buy it in the US ?
see the super gamer at extreme tech.
