AMD introduces 12-core CPU

Today I read a blog on the website of AMD and saw that the introduced the first 12-core cpu. For the VMware community this is a great improvement. More cores in a server is better performance! To bad VMware adjusted there license model to number of cores rather than uses CPU sockets.

The price isn’t that big (for 12-cores that is… ;-)), 254,- EUR for 8-cores and EUR 1078,- for 12-cores.

The CPU is bigger than his little brother and has 1974 pins. The CPU uses the G23-chipset.

VCP 4

After a couple of reschedules, yesterday was finally the day of my VCP4 exam. Although I’m teaching a VMware vSphere 4 course for a couple of months now, I did not have the time to plan the exam.

But yesterdag at 10 a clock in the morning I did the exam in ‘s Hertogenbosch. I must say I did not find the exam hard. It took me 35 minutes to complete the exam with a 100% score.

So now I proudly can say I’m a VCP4!
