Re: "My prediction - AMD will announce within a few months that their "customers" have requested that AMD devote ALL their efforts to the NUMA-HAMSTER and AMD will henceforth DROP the 760MP"

I agree with your analysis. With failure after failure in attempting SMP, AMD is finally coming to grips with the realization that the EV6 bus is a total disaster and they are throwing in the towel. So todate, AMD has a long history of failure and zero (successful)experience in debugging SMP architectures, and they expect to convince customers that they will have a totally new SMP architecture ready for Sludgepumper running on an unavailable 64bit operating system? Now that's what I call an uphill battle! I remain somewhat skeptical while I type this on my dual processor Celeron system, and I remind our AMDite friends that Intel has never shipped a P6 generation chipset die that wasn't SMP capable.
