Tad, I have every reason to believe that 8-way chipsets for the K-7 will be introduced well before the end of the year. Given the delays of the Profusion, Intel's lead over AMD is likely to be a matter of several weeks or a few months. About once a week something useful appears on this thread. This is definitely the winner for the week! Is everyone paying attention? Scumbria

Tad, re: Intel vs. AMD 8-way servers. I have every reason to believe that 8-way chipsets for the K-7 will be introduced well before the end of the year. Given the delays of the Profusion, Intel's lead over AMD is likely to be a matter of several weeks or a few months. - Tad LaFountain Does the Intel Profusion solution still use a shared bus to memory? I can't see how it will have any reasonable performance in that case. Switched bus (AMD) will be much more efficient and allows for future memory system improvements such as dual ported RAM, already being used for graphics.
