Dan re <<Wow>>

WOW WOW WOW! Thanks Milo

Very good news indeed! Who you rather have, hotrail or Micron? Hmmm?

Klein refrained from setting a timetable for mass marketing of the Samurai. "We're currently working fast and furiously on an Athlon DDR chipset solution," he said. "We'll be a player in the Athlon market."

"We see a high volume for an Athlon DDR chipset," he said. "Our chipset road map includes Athlon in a big way."


I will read these again tomorrow when I am sober, I hope it is as good news as it sounds right now! :)

Dan,

Re: Micron to support AMD chip

First off, thanks to Milo for posting it.

< Klein declined to comment on HotRail's market exit, but sources said high-performance Athlon servers could connect any number of processors to an equal number of Samurai chipsets. The Athlon architecture is able to use individual 266-MHz processor bus lines, each of which talks to its own chipset, as opposed to Intel's architecture, which uses a shared processor-bus line. >

Am I correct in assuming here that Micron's decision to support Athlons has some thing to do with Hotrail bailing out of Athlon server chipset business?

Wow.>

Yeah! This could almost be as big a news as the Gateway design.
