Paul, >>Re: ". >Makes one wonder about compatibility, data integrity, cost. Lots of issues."<

For "proprietary" chip sets, each manufacturer/designer will have to bear the brunt of design, manufacturing, test and
VERIFICATION.

That does take some of the effort OFF Intel's shoulders - at least in the short term.<<

Yes, Intel doesn't have to bear all the responsibility. I was thinking from a customer's point of view. He is going to have several architectural choices for IA-64 servers, it looks like, to choose from. He'll obviously have to pick a vendor he's comfortable with, considering all the new hardware and software that's going to be under the hood on these babies. IBM and HP come to mind first.

Paul,

Why would a server vendor want to design their own 32 way chip set? It is risky and the costs of an Intel chipset are relatively small compared to the profits made on large servers.
