As Opteron is borrowing a lot from EV7 and is made by the same people, you can expect 32-way
Opteron to deliver very similar numbers.

This claim is so ignorant of so many public domain facts about the two architectures I could
spend the next hour enumerating them. Suffice to say that Opteron will not scale like EV7.

BTW, the development cycle of both Opteron and EV7 largely overlapped. How could the
same people "make" them both? Was there significant moonlighting by ADTers going
on? No wonder both chips slipped schedule so much. Stop trying to rub Alpha technical
excellence off on AMD. You do know where the former EV7 and EV8 teams are now and
where the EV79 team will be shortly?
