Techie, Re: "Considering the fact that as late as a few years ago AMD did not have "a hope and a prayer" of establishing their own bus interface or their own non-Intel compatible x86 PC chip (set) infrastructure, one could argue that they have made considerable progress if 40 other world class companies including Cisco, TI etc. have even adopted their standard for chip to chip interconnect." AMD is not positioning Hypertransport as a standard, but rather as a licensable protocol that offers high bandwidths at low pin counts. Any other company that doesn't have their own proprietary method for interconnecting chips ought to seriously consider licensing others' technologies, including AMD's. It saves on the research, the development, and the validation of a new protocol. But, hey, kudos to AMD doing it, anyway. wanna_bmw
