Anyway, if each northbridge has to be connected with every other NB, it seems that the number of connections would grow exponentially. On the other hand, if there is some kind of ring of the LDT connections, isn't it going to increase latency?


Yes and yes. LDT is flexible. One can either design a symetric cube with many connections, or "daisey chain" the cpus. This is a standard supercomputer tradeoff.
