"Anyone have any idea how far along the development of these chipsets is? " Who knows? API has been working on these things for going on 2 years. Here is a link from 7/99 heise.de Remember that they know the EV6 bus very well, so that isn't the problem. Here is some other stuff I found. From Chris Tom's SlotA site socketa.com from December, 1999 "API Multiproc Athlon/Alpha Chipset-Chris Tom 9:45 p.m. CST Check out this story on EBNS about AMD's involvement with the Alpha platform. Here's a bit about a sweet chipset API is working on: In related news, Samsung's Chin said API is developing a chipset, called Tasman, to support four- to six-processor servers using either the Alpha or Athlon chips. Additionally, the Samsung/Compaq alliance will work with AMD to adapt Athlon's Lightning Data Transfer I/O interface to function in Alpha processors with data speeds of 1 to 3.2 Gbytes/s, noted Jeff Borkowski, API's vice president of sales and marketing." Tuesday, December 7, 1999 Samsung Alpha/Athlon Chipset-Chris Tom 11:15 a.m. CST According to this Register post Samsung is working on a chipset that will support both the Alpha chip and the Athlon. Here's some: Samsung also told EBN that it plans to break into the Alpha EV6 mobo and chipset market with a single-CPU chipset codenamed Caspian in Q3 (sampling in March) and Tasman, a four to eight-way server chipset, sometime in 2001." Well, you get the picture.
