Ten, This is the myth perpetuated by people who think they've become instant experts in servers just by reading a few HyperTransport foils.

Going to 4-way and above with HyperTransport isn't as simple as putting together a bunch of Legos. It's a big deal to support the BIOS, design a motherboard, get OEMs to validate it, get OS support, make sure it's compatible with existing 4-way-enabled software, etc.


The old saw "anybody can build just one" may apply here. I think you and Intel are working on chips for servers that people like B of A might use. The other extreme, like the lashups our friend is talking about, might power on in a few university labs, but not in Fortune 500 companies. Speaking of B of A, sounds like they're talking up Intel today, somewhere:
