Tench - RE: "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?"

According to an article by a techweb.com company, the 770 chipset (dual Athlons) is supposed to be LDT capable. Other than AMD and API, I don't think anyone else will be making 2 way or greater chipsets, unless AMD is hiding something. But I doubt that since Hotrail was the only company mentioned previously.

Do you think Hotrail just completely ditched the project and threw in the dumpster? I wonder if AMD could pick up where they left off...

Did you catch the article the other day which said Sledgehammer will have an integrated north bridge? What's interesting is AMD has spoken of having two processors on a single die, and the slides of LDT show two processors connected to a north bridge. And four north bridges being connected somehow to make up the LDT. Check out this slide - amd.com and the next one. Does this look pretty effective to you, considering the north bridge will be integrated?
