PC Perspective has published an article from IDF that looks at PCI Express 3.0, Intel's new CPU interconnect to rival HyperTransport and of course, the dual-processor Skulltrail gaming beast.
IDF Fall 2007: PCI Express 3.0, Intel's new Interconnect and Skulltrail
The system features dual 3.0 GHz Yorkfield processors on the Xeon-based Stoakley motherboard platform. This of course means it is using FB-DIMMs which is a bit of a letdown, but we can deal with it for the performance the system is able to get. The CPUs are liquid cooled; a setup that Intel claims will be standard for all Skulltrail systems.
