Tenchusatsu,

<"Coherent LDT." Guess this is the new name of the scalable interconnect I was referring to earlier.>

I don't remember what you posted about scalable interconnect but if you were talking about SCI (aka IEEE 1596) you would be on the right track. LDT based on what I have heard/seen so far seems to be a variant of that spec. There also seems to be elements of IEEE1394 and Compaq's defunct ANET.

<Sounds like grand plans for LDT, much grander than I originally thought>

I am surprised! I didn't realize you just focussed on the server aspects. I thought you were the only Intel long who saw the importance of LDT. Why in the world did you think Transmeta would license LDT if it was limited for multiprocessor applications?

AMD seems to have learned from Intel's mistakes and doing the right kind of integration for its future chips. An integrated processor with DDR/LDT coming out of it would be a killer chip (leave the graphics outside). AMD has all the pieces now except graphics (Athlon core, 760 core, southbridge). And graphics is probably better left outside for everything except the ultra low-end ($299 PCs)

AMD so far has been doing everything perfectly except chipsets and that problem will go away with integrated northbridge. Intel has only one thing going for it for 2001 - MHz. The only question is when these things will happen and if Intel can recover from its mis-steps before AMD executes.

Thanks to OT discussions and the rah-rah crowd, lately there has rarely been a meaningful technical dialog on either of the AMD threads. Thanks for bringingup something good.
