Interesting times ahead, wouldnt mind a rig with 12 real cores, wonder how this stacks up agains the up coming xeon version of the i7 980X, and how well these babys scale etc.
- was it AMD not long ago having a go at Intel for esentially "duck taping" two cores to make one multicore'd chip? and the large "monolithic is better" debate...Magny-Cours microprocessors feature two six-core or quad-core dies on one piece of substrate
