Important: Unless this product is part of the same order as your
Talos mainboard, you MUST use the same email address for this order
as you used for your Talos order. Please also add your Talos order
number to the "Comments" field when ordering your CPU. If the
crowdfunding campaign for the Talos mainboard fails to reach its
funding goal, your order for a CPU will be canceled and you will
receive a full refund.
You can purchase the CPU now with your Talos™ mainboard order or later as convenient. Assuming the Talos™ mainboard campaign reaches its funding goal, we will continue to offer CPUs for sale at least up until the mainboards start shipping. This allows you to spread the total cost of purchase out over a longer period if you’d like.
Several options are available for your Talos POWER8 CPU. Please choose from one of the following:
| IBM P/N | Turbo Frequency* | # of Cores | Thermal Design Power | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 00UL867 | 3.026 GHz | 8 | 130 W | $1,135 USD |
| 00UL866 | 3.857 GHz | 8 | 190 W | $1.240 USD |
| 00UL865 | 2.827 GHz | 10 | 130 W | $1.960 USD |
| 00UL864 | 3.492 GHz | 10 | 190 W | $2.320 USD |
| 00UL863 | 3.226 GHz | 12 | 190 W | $3,350 USD |
* "Turbo frequency" is the maximum frequency the CPU can sustain indefinitely as long as its temperature remains under thermal limits. While in turbo, the CPU is dissipating more thermal power than the thermal design power (TDP), similar to Intel and other manufacturers.
Some Talos configurations require that you install the CPU yourself. Installing the CPU is fast and easy. We’ll include complete instructions.
