You can't get full redundancy with those systems, you have to move up to a SPARC or Power based system.
Ultimately, a shared-memory multiprocessor is a SPOF even if you have multiple CPUs and a redundant fabric connecting them to each other, to memory and to I/O.
If a broken CPU corrupts a critical pointer in some key OS data structure, the whole system is going to have a bad day.
