AMD demonstrated 4X4 platform

4X4 is based on dual socketed board, capable of running two AM2 dualcore processors simultaneously. They demonstrated on 2 Athlons 64 FX in one board. So in reality it brings extreme power to those who need to run much programs simultaneously. Ya, its really good for multitasking when on one core runs 5 applikations instead of 20, but i would say that people who will really use such system are few. But its can be big advertising, especially because there are rumours taht AMD want to sell for those computers both processors (and maybe even motherboard) for price under $1000. (Now they cost over $800 for 1 piece.) Just hope thet also rumours that even weaker processors should be used in those boards are true.. Because IF.. imagine system containing two 4600+ processors which now cost only $250 per piece.. That will be extremly powerfull, and not so expensive comp.
