The server processors are not targeted at enthusiasts, so I do not believe that you will see desktop-class products based on these processors. Especially due to the fact that most desktop workloads don’t fully maximize the 4 cores that are available today, adding more cores (which will generally reduce the clock speed and increase the price) might not be the best solution for desktop customers – but will be welcome for server environments where having 24+ threads active at one time would be a big benefit.

There are also many 135x opterons
out there @ a much lower $. – basically competing
with 138x.

Now skipping forward to next year

Is there any hope for AMD enthusiasts world wide that there will be dual c32/g34 motherboards made with their “needs”
(OC headroom,voltage/tweaking options,multiple PCIe slots etc.,) in mind ?

I realize that it (c32/g34) is a server platform,however why not kill 2 rabis with one shot?

There are many interested in 2P solutions – espicially if it’s priced competitively,besides the “usual server people” market.
The number of distributed computing projects (like folding at home) is increasing,so as the depend
for more CPU cores/PCIe slots per motherboard.

2P enthusiast systems with 2×6 (12 cores Lisbon) should be very competitive even VS the upcoming i9. An asymmetrical answer.

In other words will AMD bring back “FASN8 v2″ ?

That difference in how TDP is interpreted can be confusing for customers, so we took the customers’ suggestion and published ACP to show what a typical stressed environment would look like because few, if anyone, gets close to seeing TDP consumption on AMD servers.
