Too late. Sequent already features huge servers featuring Pentium III Xeon processors in configurations ranging from 4 to 64 processors on one node:

sequent.com

Of course, this is cheating in a way, since Sequent's solutions are proprietary, high cost, and low volume. (In other words, just the way Sequent likes it.) If you meant 16-way chipsets that qualify for the moniker "Standard High Volume," I'll be very impressed if any 16-way SHV chipset hits the market before 2002.

Pwetnder - Re: "but I would still venture that a chipset will qaualify for 16 way K7 before one will qualify for 16 way P-III -- but I would doubt that that Hot rail would be the mfgr."

How about this - I'll bet "someone" has a 32-way MERCED system available BEFORE a 16-way K7 system.

What shall we bet ?
