Andreas, I suspect the nickname for the chips will be "A4-SMP"

Which is fine, since it emphasizes that AMD (finally) has an SMP solution.

If Athlons and Durons work fine in the 760MP, AMD's ability to get a premium for the A4-SMP's will be severely challenged. I actually hope they make it slightly more difficult, requiring (at least) modification of those cute bridges on top of the chip.

Although I suppose lack of 'official support' might keep tier 1 (and 2?) OEMs from building such offerings, which would be enough, as well.
