Intel Core i7-980X Extreme codenamed “Gulftown,” is the first 32nm, six-core processor with 12 computing threads. Intel sees its new Gulftown CPU (Core i7-980X Extreme Edition) is a sweet gaming processor and is the fastest processor from the market.
Intel was able to increase complexity without pushing design over the 130W TDP from Bloomfield, giving us a 6-core CPU featuring 12MB of shared L3 cache & capable of dropping into the LGA 1366 Soket.
But what do you think about the new Magny-Cours – 12x AMD Opteron Processors?

@Mihai – Games of course, what else do you think could be used?
Or possibly could be used for video compression!
