Milo, Re: "Hammer chipset, the K8HTB, with AGP 4X/8X and an 8X V-Link throughput, is set to go sampling this April"
Hopfully, they get it out on time. But as you know, getting new infrastructure out to support new architectures doesn't always end up being on time (in fact, most supporting infrastructure for brand new architectures ends up with multiple delays). VIA is very experienced right now designing around the EV6 interface, as evidenced with their multiple Athlon chipsets. Designing around high speed Hypertransport, though, is a different matter. Of course, if they are sampling in April, maybe they are ahead of the game.
