Who was the guy responsible for Socket 939 Opterons 1xx? They were extremely famous and popular here around 2006 because you could get Athlon 64 FX worth bins in a 250 U$D or so Opteron 165, besides that they use Toledo JH-E6 parts with 1 MB Cache L2 per Core while comparable A64X2 were Manchesters BH-E4 with 512 KB Cache L2. The enthusiast market eated those "Server parts".


About the 9 Core issue, the "128 Bits Core that interconnects the 8 64 Bits ones" sounds the 128 Bits IMC and a Crossbar or something.
