more from techbuyer... semibiznews.com specifically 204.247.196.14 CLIP: HotRail licenses K7 bus for multiprocessor chip sets A service of Semiconductor Business News, CMP Media Inc. Story posted 11:30 a.m. EST/8:30 a.m., PST, 7/13/99 By Will Wade SAN JOSE ( ChipWire/EET) --Core-logic startup HotRail Inc. (formerly Poseidon Technology) has announced a licensing agreement with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. to use the K7 and Alpha buses for an upcoming core-logic product that will support up to eight microprocessors running in a single server or workstation. The company expects to roll out the device some time next year. AND HotRail is using a switched-fabric architecture. Shriner said that servers using the architecture could perform up to 200 million transactions per second and that the internal channels move data at up to 3.2 gigabytes per second. By contrast, Intel's chip sets, according to Shriner, move data at 800 Mbytes/s and allow the processors to perform 33 million transactions per second. -------------------------------------------- Internal "channels"?! 3.2 gigabytes/sec?! Servers based on AMD's K7?! Rambus?!
