Nope, they were never 2 xeons slapped together, 2 overheating POS 5xx series prescotts slapped together. The 9xx series, especialy the C1 revisions run much much cooler, 2 cedar mill die(65nm P4's).
Intel if full of s#!t (and so is AMD for that matter). Even Celerons support multiprocessing, it's just that Intel likes to segment its market and sell "MP certified" chips for a whole lot more money. Semprons support dual-channel memory, multi-processing and the rest but AMD wanted to have different CPUs for different price points so it crippled some A64s into Semprons.
