Sandy Bridge questions E3 1220 VS X3450?
Hey, it looks like it is time for sandy bridge?
could you guys please share these information please?
*how much power could be saved as expected?
let say it is E3 1220/X3450 +8G ram + 2 500G sata drives?
*Does it need any special ram? X3450 series need X8, which caused us a bit headache on inventory arrangement, what about sandy bridge?
*any updated information for sandy bridge xeon series?when it will be launched?
thanks!

Intel will officially releases Xeon E3 sandy bridge processors tomorrow Apr-5. bunch of E3 processors are already in stock at many distributors, but they just can't sell them till Apr-5.
E3-1220 (4C/4T) doesn't support HT. thus, you will want to compare E3-1230 (4C/8T) to X3450.
if power saving was your paramount concern, you would want to use E3-1260L (45watt TDP) which will save significant power than lynnfield X34x0 (95watt) and regular E3-12x0 (80-watt).
IMC on Xeon E3 allows ECC unbuffered DDR3-1333 only, no if's and no but's.

With the 12x5 you can use Intel's built-in AMT KVM feature, and no longer need the IPMI chip.

Does require a board with the C206 chipset though, and haven't seen any of those for sale yet.Maxnet

well, that still doesn't make lots of sense to use them because on-board true IPMI hardware costs you around $20 (difference between F and non-F supermicro boards) including dedicated KVM port, and IPMI is available now and under trial-n-error for many, many years already.
ATM doesn't support out-of-band LAN access so that down NIC port, either by bad hardware or by crappy apps, will lock you out of the remote management, right? dedicated IPMI port won't do so.
E3-12x5 costs you $15~$20 more than equally clocked E3-12x0, but it uses 15-watt more power too.

A more interesting question: what would the price difference and difference in energy consumption be if they not only ditched the IPMI chip, but also the on-board IPMI-compatible video hardware, that is present on both the F and non-F models.
