Hey O/Cers,
Discuss article here.
I personally think the concept is cool and well executed...who DOESN'T want a choice if say the FX-55s are hot one day, and then the 6xx's are hot the next. It'll save you a few bucks.
This also brings up another point:
It looks like the CPU is plugged into some sort of proprietary port. Imagine if instead of buying a new mobo and a new CPU, you just sorta stuck one into a free port and had instant SMP. Might be interesting...if we could get slotted CPUs back (could be done with watercooling).
