In his description of CPQ's high end roadmap at the Win2K launch, CPQ's Capellas positioned the Unisys machine as a "stepping stone" to a larger machine next year which would bring "volume economics to the high end" - he indicated that this would be a CPQ design rather than an extension of the Unisys product, which was represented as a way for CPQ to provide larger machines immediately to satisfy customer demand for a "fat node" based on Intel technology. He described this next generation machine as "building blocks" which would provide 32 way and beyond, but without the "big machine tax" of current SMP technology.

There was no detail about this design beyond those teasers, but with the near-simultaneous disclosure of the 870 design by Rattner, it looked to me like Capellas was describing an 870-based machine in the McKinley time frame... does that sound reasonable??
