Article on CNET: Start-up change of heart derails AMD plans

yahoo.cnet.com

I guess this is old news now, but I personally didn't know about it until today.

In any case, in my opinion this is big. I read about HotRail's 8-way chipset architecture in MPR, and it sure looked like a strong, solid design. Plus, I figured HotRail would be the first company to release an 8-way Athlon chipset, well ahead of AMD and API.

I guess it's up to AMD and API now to release an 8-way solution using LDT. But when is that scheduled to arrive? Will it be here soon enough given that Intel is gearing up for major launches of Itanium and Foster in the server arena? And is anyone else going to make server chipsets for AMD?
