Re: "If it's just taped out how do they know it's fully functional? " Uh...maybe they crossed their fingers and prayed? I wonder how many non-functional tape-outs of the EV7 they have had ! Paul

Elmer, <Also I wouldn't consider this to be running parallel to McKinley. Would you?> Good point. EV7 was once supposed to arrive before McKinley. Now EV7 is scheduled to arrive at the same time as McKinley, but even McKinley was demo'd before EV7 taped out (as you already pointed out). On the other hand, I'm not very sure where EV7 fits into the whole picture. From the way Rob talks, it seems like EV7 will only appear in 16-way systems and above. It's unclear when McKinley will appear in the same space. Fortunately, several OEMs are working closely with Intel, particularly the 870 chipset group, to get McKinley in high-end systems with 16 or more processors. Tenchusatsu
