Future 2 on a chip CPUs
AMD are hinting that they are going to produce opterons with 2 CPUs on one
chip. Does anyone know how many pins they are going to have, 940, 939 or 745ish. The_gnome |

As far as I know the future is like this: The Opteron (multiprocessor) platform is 940. The FX platform will be 939. No technical reason why the dual cores couldn't appear on any socket configuration, but I would suspect that the Opterons will be first, then maybe the FX.

Ben I think the roadmaps actually show that DualCore opt's first, then DualCore FX's .. and that will be all (for now).. Their Cheaper lines continue with a single core.. The roadmaps have this info howver, the OP should visit amd's site and catch up there. |

The_gnome I can't see a dual core being offered in the 700-odd pin config because that only has a single channel memory controller. The point of dual core is extra performance (in the througput sense) and a good memory subsystem is required for that. Peter |

Peter yea.. http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...map_061404.jpg it's shown coming in for the FX series and all of the server/workstation chips moving to it.. From that I would guess 940 pin (or other maybee?) for em.. It does sound intersting however, cause there are now the quad opteron boards being made with some of the high end home users in mind so this kinda stuff brings a LOT of power into your house for not that much cost (i'll not be buying one but I think it's a really intersting thing to watch) |

They must really make a ton of money soaking business for servers. As I understand it, the opterons have a killer architecture that makes interconnecting cores/cpu's very easy and high performance in multi processor designs. |

Chuck, Supermicro and Tyan also make dual Xeon processor boards. |
