I keep reading "Opteron", and thinking "sledge". So yes, your scenario is actually very plausible given that the claw hammers in dual configuartion will indeed be called Opterons.
And in fact, it's kind of neat that AMD has a built-in mechanisms for keeping the consumer boards very price-differentiated from the server boards, and wouldn't allow "cheating" by the folks who AMD thinks should be paying the big bucks - That is, a dual *claw* opteron board will have two 754 (I think that's the right number?) pin sockets, whereas the dual *sledge* boards will have two 940 (again, from memory...) pin sockets.
And, IIRC, the clawhammer all do have 2 aHT links. The sleges have 3 aHT links. There is no need to differentiate between 1 and 2 aHT link claw hammers - they all have them. Now, here's where I'd like help from someone else...
I believe every hammer-based system *requires* 2 free HT links besides the ones used to connects the cpus together. I *think* you'd need one link to get to the I/O controller, and another to the PCI controller. So, a single clawhammer needs both its aHT links so that it can talk to both. In a dual setup, one cpu would use its free link to get to the I/O, and the other to the PCI controller.
At that point, you're all used up, hence dual is as far as you can go with a clawhammer.
corrections welcomed.
