"Unlike Intel Xeons where each additional CPU gets a decreasing fraction of the
fixed system bandwidth (bandwidth is the rate of flow of data), additional
Opterons increase system bandwidth in an additive fashion.  Therefore a 2-way
Opteron system enjoys twice the system bandwidth of a 1-way Opteron system; an
8-way Opteron system has an eightfold bandwidth advantage over a 1-way Opteron
system.  For an Intel Xeon server, system memory bandwidth never increases
beyond a 1-way Pentium 4 desktop. "

A good news for SMP programmers?
