re: For example, take the 4x4 announcement. You and I know that right now, there is no advantage to more than two cores for gaming, so what is going on? Take a look at the pictures: xbitlabs.com There is something missing. There is no HT link from the second CPU socket to the chipset. Why? My guess is that the 4x4 announcement and motherboards are really part of the Torrenza program. Certainly if I bought a 4x4 motherboard, I'd be looking for an FPGA or co-processor to stick in that second socket. Combine that with: Raza Microelectronics will help AMD develop Torrenza: Message 22538891 (Raza Micro being the company that just took over AMD's Alchemy line. AMD now has a stake in Raza Micro). Now the question is what Raza Micro has that AMD needs for 4x4. Here's two of their product lines: 1. XLR processor (based on MIPS64): razamicroelectronics.com 2. Orion processor: razamicroelectronics.com (a highly integrated Ethernet over next-generation SONET/SDH access processor solution) I'm not sure why either of these two lines would fit with Torrenza yet.
