<Read of a 4-CPU 21364 server in the planning stages. Very cost effective because of the point-to-point nature of the CPUs obviating the need to expensive chipsets and providing astounding bandwidth...>

As I said before, Rob, the 4-CPU 21364 system will still require a chipset in order to connect the processors to the I/O subsystems. After all, a server can't do much if it can't communicate with the network cards, hard drive controllers, etc.

Plus, with the way you're describing the configuration, it sounds like this system will be true NUMA, instead of the more flexible (but lower performance) RUMA. Am I right? (Or am I just speaking Greek?)

<Why just the other day an Alpha OEM posted the following>

Do you have a source? 1.5 GHz in Q3 2000 sounds like quite a stretch for a processor which isn't even half-way there right now. I can believe 1 GHz by Q3 2000, though.
