"Could you explain to me what is build in multiprocessor support?" I am sure you are aware that the Pentium Pro is the first practical off-the-shelf component for massively scalable architectures and that's largely due to built-in multiprocessor support. This is a huge market and everybody from Sequent to NCR to Dell supports the standard Intel SMP architecture. This is why Intel is sure to have another positive earnings surprise. UNIX servers, Windows NT servers and even Linux servers support the Intel SMP standard. Several very-high-end, custom operating systems support Intel's standard SMP. 4000 plus Pentium Pros in one box: ncr.com Pentium Pro has built-in support for SMP which is actually another example of placing functional sub-systems onto the same slab. By building in an advanced interrupt controller on every chip, Intel has simplified the design, lowered the cost, and increased reliability for these already-way-complex systems. Needless to say, K6 is utterly and completely incompatible with these systems because it lacks this built-in interrupt controller that all of the supporting hardware and software expects.
