Yes, but the 8Gb on-board can be
accessed at 320Gb/s whilst the rest of your System RAM can only be
accessed by those cores on the PCIe 2.0 card at 16GB/sec. Sounds
like a bottleneck, but current modules Peak Transfer Rates are
only around 17Gb/s tops, and that's for DDR3-2133 RAM. The biggest
issue would be considering the RAM bus would also be the same bus
used for Storage writing and reading, and instruction transit. and
what memory controller would control those 50 CPUs access to your
RAM through your PCIe 2.0 bus.. sounds like it could be a
nightmare for applications such as AE with constant I/O and
instructions being sent..
I'd hope one day I can just go purchase a $1500-$2000 card, and basically get an internal render-farm.. but I think software would need to catch up to that concept and it would need to go mainstream before we'd really see a lot of applications for it.. I do see the potential, and it seems to pretty much be a given-future.. "Core-Boards" will probably end up being the next step up from the OnBoard Chips. In the future, it'll all be about OC'ing the CoreBoard and the Motherboard being the controller of that CoreBoard. Just think.. at some point, there'll probably be configurable RAM options on the CoreBoards, and then we'd need Integrated Video for these CoreBoards.. Basically building a full System Build on a Board that goes in your Full System Build... then you can Cross-fire those boards together in one Case..
