Toshiba is manufacturing the chips. Microsoft may give these chips away just to get themselves embedded in the set-top market. Ali

Greg Hull posted this interesting article about Infiniband. Its worth a read if you are into the storage, server, or computer maker market: ---------------------------------------------------- nytimes.com ...InfiniBand is expected to dramatically alter the way servers are built, Macdonald said. Today, servers typically have CPU and memory modules connected by a PCI bus to network cards and storage systems. With InfiniBand, these functions will be split into separate boxes, continuing a trend toward specialization that the Internet has been driving. One type of machine will house CPUs and memory. These machines will be connected via InfiniBand to other machines devoted to communicating with the network or to storage systems. It's a strategy appropriated from mainframe designs; one of its chief advantages is that customers can buy more of the components that they need: CPUs for computationally intensive jobs, or input-output and storage modules for talking to databases.
