That's the second site I check every morning when I get to work, the first being WOOT!

After I finish reading the new articles on Bit-Tech I head here and start reading.

At the quad core release I believe they had an estimated release date of 2012 for a 40 core model.

CC went AWOL last fall, but he's been around a lot since the elections finished up. Got back just in time to help us run off a few real asshats.
