Early this year Intel showcased media creation platform demo machine that was to be known as 'V8'. It was a system that was prepared by Intel just to show the media that consumers could go build a dual-socket platform with Intel retail products just like what AMD was doing on their QuadFX system. We have built one of these systems with a pair of Intel Xeon X5365 processors and the performance is something you have to see otherwise you wouldn't believe it.

Quote: "After using the Intel Workstation Board S5000XVN with a pair of yet to be released Xeon X5365 'Clovertown' processors its safe to say that this is by far the fastest system that we have ever built or used. The 'V8' incarnation that Intel showed off is not the average grocery getter, it is the muscle cars of computing. This system is reserved for those power users that don't care about how many Watts of power are consumed or how expensive this system will end up being as this is about having the best performance and nothing more."
