No sooner had AMD officially announced the arrival of the dual-core Opterons & Athlon64 X2's, when the TechReport gang released their review of the Opterons.

"We've had a pair of dual-core Opteron processors on the test bench for some time now, and we're pleased to report some rather impressive results. AMD's dual-core design is something more than just a pair of CPUs glued together on a single piece of silicon, and this design choice yields a performance dividend."

Personally, I think this quote is my favorite from the article so far:

"The total possible bandwidth flowing through the 940 pins of an Opteron 875 is 30.4GB/s—technically, enough to choke a horse."
