Default AMD Asks: What would you do with 48 Cores?
AMD has launched a new contest giving away a brand new 4 socket, 48 core motherboard + CPU setup to anyone who can convince them that they would use this system for the greater good.

http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news...-48-cores.aspx

Guys... i would do lots of things FOR a 48 core system. Not quite sure what i'd do with it though.

Considering that those CPU's and Motherboard do not over clock :(

Plus the winner has to pay tax on it which could cost a fair amount like he said in the post :(
So the winner might be looking at $2,500 in taxes in order to recieve that beast.
It also is not a full complete system.
