Oakville Mehlville Computers, a maker of custom servers and workstations from Missouri, has started to sell twelve-core AMD Opteron 6174 microprocessors for servers at an Ebay auction. The chips are not officially launched yet, even though the processors do not look like engineering samples and may belong to the first mass-production batch of twelve-core chips.
The manufacturer of custom high-end machines sells a set of four AMD Opteron 6174 microprocessors with 2.20GHz clock-speed, 12MB of unified level-three cache and 6MB level-two cache (512KB of cache per core). The central processing units code-named Magny-Cours have quad-channel PC3-10600 (DDR3 1333MHz) memory controller and are designed for socket G34 platform.

negative from what I've seen so far. Hard to tell if they're pins or pads, but they did do 1207. 1974 pins might be a beeyotch lol.

Yes 1974 contact LGA according to most sites I have seen

Rev that pic you linked is approximately 2 years old. And does not show pins exactly just contact points.

Yes still correct but not correct that it shows pins, just contacts well

Daily tech says the diagram shows 1974 contacts. Which would be wrong only 1944 on the G34 socket

I do agree LGA sucks though.


EDIT: Found the CPU info for opteron 6174

1944-Land Lidded LGA
