Can't Opteron natively scale up to 8 sockets (so 16 core with
dual-code) natively?
Can't Opteon address already enough RAM for all realistic workloads?
The only shortcoming I see with Operon (right now) is the size of its
cache, not the size of the addressable memory nor the number of
core...

... or am I missing smth?
