    would be an overkill using 6 GPUs together.
    I guess the Cpu should be atleast 8 cores to make use of the GPU otherwise bottleneck.

    8 won't there for now but expect 6-core Thuban in 3-4 months

    @Madnav:
    Thank you for sharing this. So this 890GX will support the new Thuban cores. What I am confused about, that this is an AM3+ socket right. So does that mean, that the Thuban cores will dock easily to the current AM3+ sockets..?

    Though that board has more PCI.Ex16 sockets than DIMM sockets....!

    i dont know if there is anything like am3+ socket as of yet. if you are referring to HT3.1 from HT3.0 transition then it is already implemented on current am3 socket imo.
    maybe with gpgpu launch later.

    amd had already stated that processors would be backward compatible (during am2 launch) so thuban should be socket compatible with am2/am2+/am3 provided it lies under the TDP envelope of the concerned board with proper bios microcode updated.
