Doug, How exactly will a 4S server benefit relatively more from the upgrade than a 2S server? Other than simpler 4S systems from an extra HT link, I can't think of anything. And when you factor in the relative size of both markets, and more importantly, the fact that competition is most fierce *below* 4S, I think it is clear that this is being tossed out as an excuse to cover what will be a slow ramp of difficult-to-yield parts. Why provide an excuse at all? There's really no need for one.

I think you are the one characterizing it as an excuse. It also fits within the three food group pyramid, server, nb, desktop, top down thingey. The most expensive chip in the most expensive product/socket.

Concerning yield there must be some fuseable link salvage of the also rans.
