With the optimizations which some companies have already done - hopefully Dual Core should really kick in well

Skt 939 dual core A64's would be a massive boost for AMD users.
I can't see too many Intel peeps being happy at having to upgrade chipsets again...

I'm sure I recall reading about a dual core workstation demonstrated somewhere - and it was using some server/workstation board that was already in production. I cannot remember exactly though, so I can't say for sure.Originally Posted by iMc

Of course there's no guarantee of socket compatibility as the Proliant DL585 has each CPU + RAM on a separate daughterboard...
Complete with multiple speeds for grilling....
