Tenchusatsu,

If I recall correctly, AMD's approach for the highest end (4/8 way) is to have a processor with:
1. - 3 or 4 HT channels, and to connect 4 of these chips
2. - Dual core - each chip has a built in northbridge capable of supporting single or dual core

So to reach the highest end, AMD would need to produce a processor which has either 1. or both 1. and 2.

For more of a mass market, medium to high end, 2. would be sufficient. Or just 2 Clawhammers.

Joe

Tench, IMO the biggest problem with IA-64 from day one was the lack of compiler technology to efficiently and automatically use the simultaneous execution of the IA-64 instruction stream. I haven't seen many software acquisitions by Intel. Why not?

Oh, I forgot, I guess they did wind up acquiring the Compaq compiler group, but it seems like there should be more.
