Worse ... Newisys is creating chipset who can manage 32 Opteron (64 core next
year). I can't understand if these are SMP or not, I'd say yes.

--Newisys readies Chipset for big Opteron iron--
"Horus is a ring that can support up to 32 sockets, which means up to eight
four-socket cell boards. Today, Advanced Micro Devices only sells single-core
Opterons, but when AMD jumps to dual-core Opterons in 2005, the Horus servers
will scale to 64 cores."

Bigger and bigger iron again ...
