Retailer lists AMD phenom II x12-cores

[matricxs]

An online retailer is apparently taking orders for several AMD 12-core Opteron processors, as if six cores weren't enough.

The Opteron X12 6164 runs at 1.7GHz and has 16MB of cache and it costs $797, while the 6136 is clocked at 2.4GHz, packs 18MB of cache and costs $808. The slower version runs on just 65W of power, while the 2.4GHz model consumes 105W, which sounds quite impressive.

I wish I had the need for a server as i would be rocking these processors, their pricing looks VERY competitive.

I think I saw a server motherboard with 4 procesors suport, so you ca have 12x4=48 procesors thats hysterical , by the way xp can only se 31 procesors !!!

Anyone see motherboards for these processors? (I assume they're pretty damn expensive.) I'd love to get one for a desktop linux system. Do I "need" 12 cores, probably not, but that's not the point!

In all seriousness, I could possibly need one for work in the future, and since I'm not paying for it....

i would imagine most AM3 boards out will be compatible with a BIOS update

I didn't think the opterons were made in AM3 or AM2+ socket. Pretty sure they're different. (?)
