AMD's next-gen Opteron platform packs a punch - dual-socket setup will see 24 cores, 96GB of DDR3 memory and anywhere between 68.2 and 85.3GB/s of system bandwidth.

Good bye symmetry: new Magny Cours and Interlagos CPUs feature the 288-bit quad-channel memory controller and an integrated PCI Express 2.0 controller. A lot of dots to connect on the motherboard as G34 is an LGA package.
