Chuck, <I didn't realize you just focussed on the server aspects. I thought you were the only Intel long who saw the importance of LDT. Why in the world did you think Transmeta would license LDT if it was limited for multiprocessor applications?>

Actually, I didn't think much of Transmeta's reported licensing of LDT. I thought that was just another false rumor. Guess I was wrong about that.

Either way, LDT's applications in the server space is enough to impress me. Replacing the EV6 interface with LDT now impresses me even more. (In my opinion, EV6 wasn't good enough for a point-to-point processor interface. But LDT will be much better because of the higher bandwidth-per-pin and the bidirectional messaging.)

<Thanks for bringingup something good.>

No problemo. Taking the competition seriously is a great way to motivate. Case in point: the ho-hum performance of the so-called "Dream Team" which competed in Sydney.

Chuck,

Intel has only one thing going for it for 2001 - MHz.

How much MHz headroom do you think there is for Mustang/Palomino before they move to .13u? Do you think AMD will be competitive MHz wise until Q1/Q2 2002, when the Hammer family will enter the scene?
