As it happens from time to tim, someone is having fun on trying to sell AMD CPU models on eBay while they are not officially commercially available This time it is a set of 4 Opteron CPU, dedicated to servers and featuring 12 cores each, clocked at 2.2 GHz.
They directly compete with current and future Intel Xeon CPUs. You can buy this set of 4 Opteron for 8,000 USD, however, no one knows if those are real samples, or pre-sampling units still featuring some bugs/defects.All 4 Opteron can be installed on the same motherboard to offer 48 cores if you do not know what to do with such power, other Pro users are already dreaming of such machine.
