Heck, AMD might actually have something going here!

I personally do not care for the graphic processing unit package combined with a processor because it isn't going to beat a good video card.
What about septacore? Being AMD, that could definitely happen.I might have to do a new build with the Octocore. But I dunno what sounds cooler, octocore or hexcore... heh.
Crap, you're right. That'll take all the fun out of AMD, though.that wont happen. They are setting up bulldozer with bicore modules. That will mean that all of their bulldozer processors will end up in multiples of 2.

Might still be some fun unlocking. Been said that its a possibilty that the X6 is really a X8 with a module disabled.
Could be that its cheaper to disable a module on a X8. Then have a whole different production run just for a X6
What was up with phenom II 555 then,they had phenom II dual cores right.
All the Phenom II X2 and X3 are quads with cores disabled. When you have all 4 cores on one die and 1 or 2 are defective. Its better/cost effective to disable them and sell it as a X2 or X3 then trash can it.
I think it is a wise business practice to do this. I do not know why Intel would throw away a whole central processing unit if three or two cores were still fully functional on a quad-core processor chip. Intel could sell these processors as Celerons and make $70 or more off each one.
