"Do consumers assume that an Opteron 846 is faster than an Opteron 246? "

I will point out that the market for Opteron x4x is going to be a little different than where the Intel 3xx, 5xx and 7xx wind up...

wbmw - Sorry, I think that's a total non-issue. All the interested parties involved have already long since learned and become accustomed to AMD's model # setup. The only one that is at all counter-intuitive is Opteron and those folks have long since learned the system and probably appreciate the information offered by the first digit.
