[Beowulf] amd 3 and 6 core processors

[Jonathan Aquilina]

someone brought this up in another post and instead of hyjacking that post i
started a new one. what are the advantages of having processors that defy
the normal development and progressions of cores.

2 4 8 etc like intel follows but amd seems to have done 2 3 4 6 ?

what advantage will these kinds of processors have over the intel 4 vs amd 3
and intel 8 vs amd 6?
