Make a 1p g34 desktop board with a 1366 lineup of chips ($300, $500, $1000), and you have yourself an answer to intel's high end.
You understand that MCMs have a much lower frequency right? Per thread it would be much slower, that means that it would be slower in games. The extra threads you get won't matter to most people. People on workstations that need more threads than 8 won't buy FX-chips anyway.

People didn't buy FX for cinebench, the bought them because of game performance and overclocking. An MCM would be worse at both.

An MCM would have a harder time competing with intels high end at these types of workloads than an ordinary bulldozer.
