Pete, For Intel CPUs on their FSB, 8 way needs to switch between two busses of which up to 4 CPUs can be on each. The fact that the 762 can switch between two FSB, actually 2 P2P links, shows that AMD developed something that Intel had to go out of their house to obtain. Based on the Hammer presentations, Sledgehammer will have a 3 (or 4) way HT switch in every Sledgehammer, so there is no need to have one in the chipset. Another way about this would be to have single HT link ClawHammers and an external HT switch, hopefully developed by 3rd parties. API was planning on selling one but I don't know if they will survive, since Alpha is dead. Joe
