Tench and all, <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.> I don't know about that. Seems it would fit everywhere. Maybe take a shrink to get down to the single or dual CPU server level, maybe not. Does look like an ideal 4 processor server also. Imagine "remote" memory being at most one hop away. 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. I suspect that EV7 will eat its lunch. From what we know about EV7 that has been publically disclosed , the bandwidth is much higher than McKinley. The best detail (in my opinion )is very good latency figures, especially in multiple CPU configs. The detail is hidden but surely will be out and about someday soon. Rob
