Try multiplying that by 10. See, that's why these systems are unknown to the general public. They are in a totally different league. That's also why I think this comparison to the Opteron is a bit unfair. The only thing they got in common is that they are both CPU's. Any other similarity ends there. Still there is no one stopping AMD to come out with a high end architecture of their own. Yet they don't, the only thing they got is the Opteron, that to be frank, was totally killed, not by Itanium but by Nehalem. We'll see though, they have a chance to make a comeback with these 12 core chips that are soon to be released...
