AMD to Demo '8-socket' Dual-Core Opteron System
flynn_nrg writes "AMD will make the first public demonstration of a system built out of its dual-core processors today, the result of a strategy first made public almost a year ago. Two-core Opteron chips aren't due to ship until the middle of 2005, but AMD will have four of parts running inside an HP ProLiant DL585 server at its Austin plant later today."
Is that 7 of 9's ugly sister?
Is it it me or does anybody else see the irony in the fact that there was an intel advert on the page.....
Unobtainium?
Oh wait, that's something else...
i particularly like the way that on the register, an advert for intel's xeon processor came up on a page describing how great the new dual-processor amd chip is.
Would the Consumer model of these chips be called BiAthlons?

I know, don't pick on the lack of grammar on Slashdot, lest ye be struck down by Great Powers On High. I just can't help but wonder if that's a minor arcanum/suit for some sort of geek tarot or playing card deck.

Christ in handbag covered in ketchup, AMD! WHY THE HELL CAN YOU NOT JUST TAKE A BREAK AND STOP INVENTING SHIT FOR A WEEK OR MONTH?!
It's not like AMD fanboys like me are going to let you go out of business. We'll still be buying your underpriced processors in lieu of Intel chips for a while to come. And we'll show up in droves to events that really tout your existing product line. We swear it!
Plus, Intel isn't moving that fast these days. I've read more about trouble for Intel in the past 2 months than I have in 5 years. "We can't frabricate this processor, or we're not responsible if that processor burns your house down when you overclock it." Come on! Let 'em catch up for the sheer thrill of beating 'em again with the Athlon128 a few years down the road.
Why? Why my insistence on your taking a g'damned break from inventing shit? You wanna know why?
I can't f---ing afford another upgrade for awhile. So stop it. Now. Dammit. Give us poor home built computer bastards a break.
And pass the f---ing message off to those asshats at ATI and Nvidia.
John Carmack too -- the "we're gonna change the world of gaming hardware every time we release a new game" motherf---er.

Don't knock that vaporware! I plan on running Duke Nukem Forever on that. (They sound compatible)
Hmmm .. a graphics card with an Itanium core? That might be pretty sweet ...
Wait... four-way with dual core processors... so what they are saying is
THERE ARE FOUR SOCKETS!

Erotic is when you use a feather. Exotic is when you use the whole chicken.
Whatever do you mean?
Let me count:
-They have speedy Celerons,
-They have shiny 32bit HT P4s
-They have shiny blue and orange stickers that say "You just paid too much for a CPU... err, I mean Intel Inside!"
