By that time there will be numbers of render farms using a 4 CPU Merced motherboard that will outperform even the 8-way Athlon.

Speaking of which, 460GX (4-way Merced chipset) taped out quite a while ago. The only 8-way Athlon chipset I know of is from HotRail, and they have yet to tape out.

But then again, people who want an 8-way machine now will go and buy a Profusion-based Xeon server. Compaq is selling them right now.
