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.
