Re: "Thanks for the link. Looks like these guys are not tehnology guys so it is possible that the article is not worth much. Does anyone know the author and know what his track record is with information like this?"

The guy was complaining about bus saturation and the lack of bandwidth in 8-way servers. Since Merced isn't anywhere near debugged, much less running in 8-way systems, I think it is a little early to be trashing it's SMP performance.
