Then what makes HT superior to IBM's infiniband?"

Intel's, actually.


Sorry, they said a consortium and I thought IBM had the lead.

Well, infiniband is better suited to hooking boxes together, not chips.

As in network boxes?

In addition, it's really complex because it is trying to solve a more complex problem. HT is pretty simple, especially in comparison. It doesn't take up much space on a chip, and it doesn't require a lot of power.

So is the article correct that HT may well become the predominate choice for high end servers and networks.......wouldn't they require the more complex Infiniband?
