What looks like CPU-Z data on one of AMDs Magny-Cours 12-core server processors has popped up on the internet today.

Blam....what do you suppose a mask for this looks like?
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Hmm... Something seems amiss.
Look closely; the left side of the screenshot shows TWO cpus and 12 cores. 12/2 is 6 cores per processor, no?
Isn't this just a dual-cpu system with two 6-core processors?

Dual hex-core procs at 804 MHz? That seems awful. Apparently the authors don't know what to look for/at. However, the right graphic shows 1 clock @ 12 cores, but something still isn't right.
Still can't beat Nehalem for power. We installed our first HP ProLiant DL380 G6 servers today, and they SCREAM! 96 GB of RAM, dual quad-core @ 3.00 GHz, and our benchmarks had it chewing through SQL IOPS like a hot knife through butter even with a bottleneck of 4 GBps SAN connectivity and 15K RPM 3 GBps SATA disks.

Check out the core voltage though. Could be one reason why everything is throttled back. If so I’m impressed.

Yes, I noticed that...and the right screen of the three shows at least one processor running at 1.6 Ghz....not bad if all 12 do that...

You mean they might do something like Intel did?....
Oh well!!!
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
You mean they might do something like Intel did?.... No, that's not what I mean.
I mean that what has been captured "in the wild" may not be a 12-core processor, yet.
I have no doubt that AMD will produce an honest-to-goodness 12-core device, but this doesn't appear to be it.

Hmmm....not exactly sure how CPU-Z works.

"Blam....what do you suppose a mask for this looks like?"
I haven't a clue.
To: TChris
The version of CPU-Z is 1.52.2 which according to their website includes support for the AMD Istanbul Opteron processor.

Okay... a 12 core processor... and it's named K10... okay, never mind, no problem... ;')
Here's an oldie:

AMD Inc. announced Monday an ultra-low power version of its six-core Istanbul Opteron processors, targeted at cloud computing customers. The power-efficient 40-watt AMD Opteron EE is designed for dense server deployments... Customers of Opteron EE will reap up to 30 per cent higher performance and performance per watt compared to quad-core Opteron chips, said Longoria.

Just found out that the AMD Opteron 8000 Series 2600 MHz sells for $2,650.00, over a buck a mhz.
