Tony, Do you still have it? I didn't keep it. The Register originally posted the link, which Elmer posted on this thread, before it stopped working. This is the document that had the first (leaked) info on the Jackson Technology. The Register still has their recap of the presentation: theregister.co.uk It says this about Foster / Colusa: "Q: Why Colusa for 2-way Foster servers? A: Colusa is the only chipset that is TTM with DP Foster in Q4’00. In addition, it is the only Intel validation vehicle. With the performance leap offered by Foster-based servers, OEMs will want to be TTM with DP Foster (and not risk losing segment share) Here are additional references to Intel's roadmaps: Foster, on the other hand, appears on the Intel roadmap as arriving in late 2000 or early 2001. Foster is also IA-32 architecture but aimed at the high end workstation and server market. Our sources say that Foster is likely to land towards the end of next year, theregister.co.uk Towards the end of January, Intel presented its 2000 roadmap for the Asia Pacific region... Foster, like Willamette, will launch at 1.4GHz but will have two way support using the Colusa chipset and 256K level two cache. theregister.co.uk According to the Intel roadmap, Foster dual processing systems have now been "moved" from the end of this year to Q1 2001, while multiprocessing systems have been "moved" to late Q1, 2001. theregister.co.uk I think we have arrived at the point that the so called roadmaps are now completely useless, and are just marketing documents, trying to lure future customers with promises that are most likely not going to be met. (This applies to both Intel and AMD) Joe
