I agree, it is not a 16-core, "merely" a 12-core.
I was just responding to Garrett's question about a modern AMD CPU.
Until three weeks (or so) ago, this was indeed the most modern AMD
CPU. The new Opteron uses a substantially different internal
architecture.
The desktop Bulldozer CPU performance (AMD FX-8150) seems to be rather
lacking, and in fact I see that Intel has posted formal SPEC results
for this CPU in order to rub AMD's nose in it.
The Opteron 6200 performance seems quite competitive for the price.
I am hoping to purchase such a system and run the Illumos kernel on
it.
