Elmer, <Can anyone come up with a theory as to why SMP just doesn't work for AMD?> The short answer: It's a LOT harder than it seems. Intel was dabbling with SMP way back in the classic Pentium days. My guess is that AMD underestimated the effort involved in going to SMP. No big surprise considering that almost every high-end platform out there (Merced, UltraSparc, Alpha, PowerPC) has historically suffered severe schedule slips. Have you noticed AMD's intention to get to 4-way and 8-way SMP in mid-2002? Think that might be yet another underestimation? Nah ... Tenchusatsu
