Don't know where u got that from but there are no such beasts unless
Im missing something major. AMD are the only ones that restrict the
processors based on the number that can be in a system:
1XX = 1 processor
2XX = 2 processor
4XX = 4 processor
8XX = 8 processor
Intel have no such restriction that I'm aware of, however the larger
cached versions will perform better in the typical role that a high
cpu no. machine entails.
