The processor they're using, has a socket with 1974 contacts.
With a plan to put up to four of those sockets on a motherboard,
the motherboard must be the size of a football field.

AMD sited blogger with graphics comparing 12 core 2.2 GHz AMD 6174 with
6 core 3.33 GHz Intel Xeon X5680 http://blogs.amd.com/work/tag/12-cores/

It's got 32 DIMM sockets on it. I can see why the CPU socket
