AMD's Bobcat and Bulldozer

[scorpidragon]

I think you could rather buy an octy MC and a dual socket mobo... this will be somewhat future-proof... as after BD comes you should be able to run it with a simple bios update... which is not something that you could say about Intel platforms (both server and desktop) and AMD's desktop offerings at this point in time...

Edit: Makes for an incredible value proposition too... what with the cheapest MC coming in at $290 appx and dual socket board for about $450

The big problem with AMDs dual server boards are that they are not overclockable!

If the MC dual boards ever came out as an overclockable workstation board, then I would by two or three of them!

If MC or BD CPUs came out unlocked (like Intel's) runs at around 3.0 GHz, then I would buy four to six CPUs!

If AMD released BD as an Phenom FX CPU for G34 or whatever socket that comes out, then I would buy four to six of those CPUs!
