Re: Intel's dependence on ServerWorks for 4-way Xeon chipsets. It certainly wasn't intentional. Weren't there problems with 4-way profusion that came out at about the same time as the serverworks chipset? Somebody (I think it was Compaq) observed data corruption from the chipset under certain obscure circumstances. So the roll out of that version of the chipset was halted just as it was entering volume production (towards the end of the "pilot" phase). Since then, server demand in general has been terrible. IMHO, having another platform out there to confuse the market, that already has to decide between PIII Xeon, P4 Xeon, Itanium, Sparc, Alpha, PowerPC and now SMP Athlon, would be as likely to hurt INTC sales as to help.
