As you can see here , next gen Opteron 6200 series parts are up for a preorder( 1240+ units already ordered).
Part info:  OPTERON 6200 SERIES PROCESSORS 2.1G 16MB 115WT G34 TRAY

This is not the top model though.There is 115W part that runs at 2.3ghz base clock and 2.7Ghz on all cores with Turbo(and 3.3Ghz for half cores/one core active). This one will have 35% higher throughput in HPC workloads than 2.5Ghz 12C Magny Cours we have today.
Enjoy!

    Should be 16 cores :)

    How does it compare with Magny Cours CPUs in price?

    From the official price list:
    Twelve-Core AMD Opteron™ 6172 $989
    So very aggressive pricing policy AMD is going for.

    I just hope performance is not the factor which is driving that aggressive pricing.
    I suppose 16core BD is a bit smaller than 12core magny cores, and AMD wants to take back server market share with these prices.

    By my estimate,2.3Ghz 16C Interlagos should be ~31-35% faster in spec_int rate than 2.5Ghz 12C MC. Lower 2.1Ghz version should be 22% faster than top MC we have today. For the money AMD is asking for these parts,it's very good value. Plus now BD based products will be able to Turbo up and not "suck" in poorly threaded workloads.
