There's no doubt about it, Skulltrail is the fastest platform on this globe (if you equip it with the right components). Running two high-end QX9775 processors on a 1600 MHz bus is an triumph by itself, extraordinary interesting. Looking purely at the hardware, a Skulltrail system is nothing short of astounding to have in your PC. But in all fairness, there's hardly a situation at this very moment where I can see an application using eight logical CPU cores (looking at it from a consumer point of view, not professional); and until that physically is happening you are dropping a too grand amount of money into a PC with a very small return of your investment.
Guru3D focuses on you guys, enthusiast PC users and gamers and to that user-base the performance of this system right now is baseline with any high-end enthusiast PC. Surely noone can really afford gear like this, but once multi-core software & games really kick in .. this platform will purge anything in it's way and that's a fact.
So the closing line goes like this; if you are on a quest to have the best, the fastest, the incredible and do not care about money whatsoever .. look no further; you found it. Intel's Skulltrail is just astonishing. It's a situation where all the best hardware components come together, form a synergy and then has the sheer power to stun & amaze you. That's exactly what Skulltrail is all about. Rumor is that only 2000 boards will be available. So get them while you can. Why is Intel bothering to release such a niche and expensive platform then ? Well .. 'because they can'. And what's not to like about that attitude ?
Thanks go out to Intel Benelux for making this article happen.

Deve ser a primeira vez que vejo o bottleneck nas placas gráficas e não no CPU. Uma plataforma destas com duas 9800 GX2 em SLI e esta feito uma maquina que só não tira cafés. Ou então compra-se carro novo já que está difícil engatar miúdas com hardware.
