Scumbria, <Why would a server vendor want to design their own 32 way chip set? It is risky and the costs of an Intel chipset are relatively small compared to the profits made on large servers.> Maybe because Intel won't have a 32-way chipset? Heck, Intel won't even have an 8-way Merced chipset, despite having an 8-way Xeon chipset. Tenchusatsu P.S. - Remember you were asking me a while back about Linux being used internally for Intel R&D? I now have first-hand confirmation that this indeed is the case. A few groups, including Willamette (interestingly enough), have moved their development over to Linux, with positive results.
