AMD starts shipping 12-core Opterons

 

CHIPMAKER AMD is reporting that it is churning out and shipping its latest 8-core and 12-core processors, codenamed Magny Cours, to select OEMs and Ebay auctioneers.

 

Magny Cours or rather Opteron 61xx chips feature revised quad channel memory controllers and remain within the 75W power envelope occupied by their predecessors, the 6-core Istanbul chips. However the Opteron 61xx requires a new socket, the G34, so it won't be a drop-in upgrade like the step up from Shanghai to Istanbul was.

 

spennende, det står mere i artikkelen da, quotet bare litt

Jau sett det. Lite tester ute enda.

 

Det finnest faktisk HK med bare 1 socket til G34. Men ikke noe vanlig pc får nytte av.
