Seems like last year I was excited to see servers with 24 cores (dual 6 core processors with hyper-threading) and 96GB of ram.
I was logged onto a server yesterday and checked it out, 80 cores and 1TB ram. First I had make sure that was possible but its, four 10 core processors with hyper-threading — new Intel E7.
Just took me by surprise thinking the difference in one year. Wonder what surprises are in store for next year?
