Pretty staggering to see how far out in front Intel is in this server market. Not just blowing everybody else away in pure performance but also blowing everybody else away in price/performance. This is the market AMD wants to enter if they can ever get a SMP system working. It's quite remarkable that AMD hasn't even got a 2-way system working with what they claimed was a far superior EV6 architecture. Intel's supposedly inferior P6 bus architecture is blowing away everything in sight. Could it be that AMD wasn't completely honest when they made their bold claims about EV6 "superiority"? If it's so superior how come they still can't get it to work? Food for thought.... Intel has never shipped a single P6 generation chipset die that wasn't at least 2-way SMP capable. No one has ever shipped a single K7 generation chipset die that was. biz.yahoo.com tpc.org EP EP

Elmer, Intel entered the chipset market to make money. They found it not as profitable as they thought it would be, nor as easy to dominate. Bill
