Tony, Re: Compaq is suggesting a new measurement criteria, something like MIPs (or maybe tpmC's) per cubic foot per watt, or something like that. MIPs / Ft³ • Watts This is one part overclockers like Anand would never consider, for them nothing but speed and cost(upfront) matters. gary

Tony - re: "The best part is that all of the above Intel server implementations will most likely be shipping before any big OEM has a 760 MP implementation" Yep - but AMD landed TWO BIG FISH for their launch - Nathan "EVERYTHING-INTEL-DOES-IS-SCREWED-UP" Brookwood and EINUX !!

Re: Designing a 1U server around a dual Athlon MP Thunder K7 platform requires special cooling and power to be implemented, since there isn’t enough space for regular heatsinks to be mounted in the case, but it is possible. Tony, the same is true for Xeon systems. This thing runs rings around Xeon, costs less, and you can still get an SMP system in a 1U form factor. And, unlike Itanium/McKinley, you don't need to replace every piece of software you ever bought, wrote, or contracted to have written to get that performance increase. Regards, Dan
