AMD Bulldozer server info

[MrMojoZ]

Reality check done.
AMD did have Athlon mp boards(had one), AMD did have dual FX boards.

And now they have quad and up chips and the market for those dual systems went away. You will not get what you are wanting from AMD, it makes no sense at this point.

Main problem with using available systems is low clocks.And high cost of a LITTLE faster chips.
AMD offerings for some time now are non overclockable and have low powerformance (because of low stock clocks) in any but server applications, which limits its use a lot.
Who would buy such systems ?
Well i would buy high performance system from AMD, i would build a high performance workstation also for a graphics designer i work with.
There is market ,albeit smaller than it was.
Intel and apple proves that there is.
I pretty much said all i could, and put all my points some time ago in this and other threads.
On a side note, what i find worrying/weird is the fact that people seem to "defend" corporations when its actions are pretty much set against our (the enthusiast community) needs.
Once we the consumer demanded, and we often have gotten it (xtreme editions, FX series, BE editions and now K editions) are all a product of "we want more" mentality.
Yet now i see people defending the right of intel to screw us with sandy bridge anti overclocking design ,with disabling functionality (HT VT and so on) .Yea, they can, its their product.But to actually defend that aproach when youre part of a community that needs the opposite is absurd (for me at least).
Same goes of course for AMD "fans" , i say "fans" because i think that a true fan wants his team to excel and do extraordinary things ,not be mediocre.
We the consumers, and enthusiasts, should demand more, not less.We may be relatively small .but i really dont think our impact is small, i alone am responsible for hardware buys and configuration of dozens of people, and everyone of us is.And more, people here are more often than not people who make decisions in larger corporations.
You need one board, with one unlocked bios, with a one unlocked SKU to make many DIYers happy.
Thats politics, not engineering or money issue.
