Rudedog - Re: Compaq, Capelleas & "their switch fabric McKinley design. He indicated that the CPQ design was targeted for late 2001 or early 2002 and would "redefine the economics of the high end". Perhaps they are leveraging the switch fabric they developed for Wildfire - if so, they would be aiming for an architecture which would support 256 processors and dynamic partitioning. " Great !! I hope Compaq ships THOUSANDS of these 256 CPU McKinley Servers !!! Both Intel and Compaq should make some serious money on those beasts ! Re: ". But something happened in the last half of 1999 that changed CPQ's view of customer demand (he just said "feedback from some key customers"), and so they did the OEM deal " Maybe customers LOVE the Price/Performance of 8, 16 and 32 Way Xeon Servers !
