Intel has yet to ship anything, but paper and promises.
You are correct there and if that was all there was to it then I wouldn't have posted what I did. The point is that according to the post that started this, AMD promised HT3.1 on Shanghai but can't get it to work properly, so it's just HT1.0 enabled.
Although it’s been pointed out by AMD beforehand, the Shanghai marchitecture is built to operate on a HyperTransport 3.1 bus, although for reasons that AMD is sure to explain later, the first parts will only be HT 1.0 enabled.
As we all know, AMD has a history of promising and then under delivering, if delivering at all. True to form, they won't be shipping Shanghai with what they originally promised, if they even deliver it at all. It's already late, as we all knew it would be.
Intel, on the other hand, has a history of promising and then delivering, or even over delivering. So it's reasonable to expect they will deliver this time as well.
So what difference does it make how great you think HT3.1 will be when AMD can't deliver it? |
