AMD announced their AMD Quad FX Platform with Dual Socket Direct Connect (DSDC) Architecture. This is the official name for what we were previously calling "4x4", with two sockets, two CPUs and four cores in total. The AMD Quad FX Platform is powered by pairs of the AMD Athlon 64 FX-70 series dual-core processors, the newest additions to the award-winning AMD Athlon 64 FX processor family. The new platform takes enthusiasts on a megatasking thrill ride, allowing them to make the most of their overall computing experience while gaming, editing audio/video and streaming high-definition content.

Meanwhile, AMD have also demonstrated their native quad-core CPU, the industry's first. The reference server platform was seamlessly upgraded to quad-core by replacing the server’s existing DDR2-based AMD Opteron processors with the new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors and updating the BIOS. There's a "Virtual Experience" website here from AMD.
