Hi,
I would like to know if there is any Amd dual cpu motherboard?
Is this good for gaming?
I would love it if it would be a Gigabyte brand, if not there's no problem. Please can you leave me a link to search out our a full name of any of exists?

In your extensive research, what, if any, dual AMD cpu motherboards have you found?

If there is, it's going to run Opterons.

There is no need for what you ask for. The 8 thread 8320/8350 is all that you need for gaming. Running two 83x0's isn't going to push frames rates higher.

Yes, they're designed for servers. The current socket is called G34. As as example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131643

They require Opteron server processors, which are available with up to 16 cores. As for gaming, no not really a good idea. Most games are not particularly multithreaded and these suffer from the same per-thread performance problem that all of AMD's processors do. A hugely expensive dual 16-core system would actually run games slower than one with an Intel 4790k and cost massively more.

You could always go vintage. AMD released the Quadfather FX-74 system back in 2007. I built one last year for nostalgia's sake. It won't play modern games very well, is unstable, and sucks up HUGE amounts of power, so this is obviously what you were looking for.
