The Xeon X7560 may be better than the 12-Core Opteron but I don't think any processor is worth $4,000. Sad thing is I bet someone will pay that much for it.
 

just a noob

I think it all depends on your app(Seems to me there is a quad socket board for LGA 1567). The app you're running might play better with Intel, or something along those lines(I'm thinking number crunching that does better with xeons than opterons). Besides, maybe some research department has an absurd budget and wants a ginormous e-peen
