Considering the fact that the current AMD socket 939 and socket 940 support dual core processors, and that there are dual socket 940 boards on the market, I presume that we shall see this enviroment when dual core Opeterons are introduced, which is this coming week I believe?
Intel HT processors fool the OS into thinking that the PC has 2 processors. Dual Core Processors are actually to CPU's in one die.
I'm taking about having a MOBO that supports installing (2) Dual Core Processors. Of course software would have to support it too.
LOL - Ok, (2) Intel 3.2GHz Dual Core CPU's with Hyperthreading Enabled. That's a total of 8 CPU's.
