While i dont agree with some of your points (cuda isnt answer to everything).
Affordable 2P system for enthusiasts wouldnt cost that much.
That isnt changing the fact that on the Intel side, there is one ;-) .So again discussion is moot.And JF tells us also that high end single socket are useless, which is, well, only thing he can say considering AMD doesnt plan on having one.
While i appreciate JF`s many contributions to the forum and general knowledge he can bring to us.Fact is, he works for the company, so he MUST say what they expect of him and FULLY support current AMD strategy. Besides, affordable desktop 2P system is not what opteron salesman wants.
