  • AMD to bring dual-core Opteron

    Read about it here

    Whats interesting is that you can just plug them into your current 2P system and get an almost perfect 4P system

    I'm not quite sure if they have seperate memory controllers, but even if they don't AMD will have a nice "in-between" solution for people who want 2 CPU's but cant afford a real 2CPU system (same goes for 4CPU and 8CPU of course)

    As far as I read they are not sure about releasing a desktop version of the dual-core Hammer, they probably are going to see about whether the market needs/wants/demands it or not. (Would be even more expensive than the FX I guess, unless it replaces it to justify the higher price of the FX compared to A64 )

    edit: btw, they plan to release them next year

    I suppose a nice alternative to Hyperthreading on home PC's , if they decide to go that route

            Not yet.

            If all goes as planned, the rumors will have been true.
