Elmer, AMD has never shipped a single multi-processor/chipset combination. Nice FUD. Especially coming the day after the news of the Athlon based supercomputer. Scumbria

Elmer, AMD has relied on a point to point architecture where no 2 processors share the same memory port. It looks to me as though they are really just moving the memory bandwidth bottleneck down into the memory controller rather that coming up with a better solution. The next generations Alpha's will have a dedicated onboard DRDRAM memory controller. Maybe AMD is doing something similar? Scumbria
