You can't compare Xeons to Phenoms, you need to be looking at Opterons for that. AMD recently released their 12-core Opterons (4 different models) and they have 3 8-core and 5 6-core Opterons as well (9 if you distinguish between 2-socket and 8-Socket versions).

I'm assuming the profit margins are higher on server chips and the high end enthusiast desktop ones and proposing this as an explanation for Intel's product mix. There's got to be some reasons Intel is only selling one model of the latter while selling a couple dozen of the former with this microarchitecture and on this process node.
