AMD 760MP to support dual processors

Ace's has the transcript of the DDR lovefest that happened last week or so. Here is a quote from AMD's Ron Huff -

"And just give a few more points on feature set of the AMD 760 chipset, we'll also have a version called the 760MP, supporting 1 and 2 processors."

This means AMD will have a 760 chipset that only supports one processor, and a dual version called 760MP that supports up to two. Previously, we only knew dual processor support would come from the 770 chipset, which is supposed to support AMD's LDT. Unless AMD has renamed the 770 to 760MP, it looks like AMD will have three chipsets this year. Another potential difference between the 760MP and 770 is the 770 may have support of dual DDR channels, which means memory bandwidth up to 4.2GB/s, since this is supposed to be AMD's workstation/server chipset and more bandwidth than normal doesn't hurt. Since the 760MP is a dual 760, it will only have one DDR channel.
