The BitTorrent search engine isoHunt has received a couple of AMD's unreleased processors. According to a post at isoHunt.com forums, the site administration received two "pre-production engineering samples" of AMD Opteron 2352 CPUs. The 2,1GHz processors are used in the primary database servers, which will give them a great real-world test drive.
The to be released quad-core CPUs, found already in Yahoo store for $650 somehow, feature a 2MB L2 cache and apparently work flawlessly, unlike the previous Opteron 2350 with the infamous TLB bug.
It remains to be seen whether the antipiracy lobbyists target AMD because of this. isoHunt has been a target of several accusations by both MPAA and RIAA.
