Limited amount I know about the situation, The OEMs, like Compaq, use Serverworks as kind of a subcontractor to develop chipsets for new servers based on, usually, the latest and greatest server type microprocessor available, generally from Intel. I don't know who writes the spec. for the chipset, or if it's a joint development between, say, Compaq, Intel and Serverworks. From the news releases today, looks like Serverworks does chips for other applications too, like routers (Cisco mention).

Serverworks is good at what they do, sounds like they're profitable also.

I always had the feeling they filled a nice niche, developing chipsets that Intel didn't have the cycles for. Again, hope Broadcomm doesn't change their agenda.

John, Re: I don't know that much about ServerWorks, I wonder if Intel needs ServerWorks more than ServerWorks needs Intel? It's an awkward situation at best

At least Broadcom stress the relationship between Intel and ServerWork which seems that it won't hurt Intel mid term. I believe Intel also has its own server chipset in the work.
