on the other hand if amd had a zambesi with quad channel ram on single socket g34 boards (aka athlon fx 51) that would be an interesting setup for hardcore gamers, and if they wanted more cores they could simply buy opterons. (amd could also limit the g34 zambesi to 1 socket so not to cannibilize the c32/g34 server segment.

thats just my way of seeing a super premium amd product.
You are putting words in my mouth that I never said. I NEVER stated in my post that AMD said they cannot make dual socket Zambezi processors. I said I am sick of people saying that it is technologically impossible to make Zambezi dual socket compatible. They do not know anything when it actually comes down to the design process of a processor, as I do not know anything either. If we did know how to design a processor, then everyone would have their own personally designed processor or would be rich as hell selling their design to a company. But if AMD can make something as crazy as a processor, or a GPU, or an APU, well then I am almost certainly positive if AMD wanted to then they could make Zambezi dual socket.
