Cirrus, <Additionally, the Samsung/Compaq alliance will work with AMD to adapt Athlon's Lightning Data Transfer I/O interface to function in Alpha processors with data speeds of 1 to 3.2 Gbytes/s, noted Jeff Borkowski, API's vice president of sales and marketing.> This is some of the fruits of AMD's upcoming LDT technology. They can license it out to partners and spur development of high-end Athlon-based (and Alpha-based) servers. This will help lay out the infrastructure necessary for AMD's entry into this high-margin segment. Take heed, all you who think it's only about gigahertz. Tenchusatsu

Cirruslvr, It looks like a miltiple CPU architecture chipset will emerge from these co-operative deals that will serve the Athlon and later AMD parts as well as Alpha descendents. It in Compaqs best interest to be very co-operative. If they play games Alpha will die as the other players will walk and CPQ cannot maintain it themselves. CPQ needs to eat some more humble pie. You would think the market had taught them a lesson....but no...they still think they are right Dell is wrong,,,,dumb dumb dumb. Bill
