Elmer: Ondie cache goes a long way toward solving that problem plus Intel designs for a shared bus SMP architecture. With an ondie memory controller you'd be limited to single CPU systems unless Intel changes their SMP approach. Then there's hyper threading.... I was talking exclusively about Banias and I didn't think that it was targeted at market segments where multi-processor solutions made much sense. -fyo

>With an ondie memory controller you'd be limited to single CPU systems unless Intel changes their SMP approach.< Aha! So Banias will be the first notebook x86 processor designed for multiprocessing.

Elmer, Ondie cache goes a long way toward solving that problem plus Intel designs for a shared bus SMP architecture. With an ondie memory controller you'd be limited to single CPU systems unless Intel changes their SMP approach. Then there's hyper threading.... Couple of points: -It does not mean you can't have both, on-die cache and mem. controller -I doubt Banias will have SMP capability -Didn't Intel stop providing SMP ability in desktop P4s? Or was it just the Socket-423 -what does hyperthreading have to do with anything, especially Banias? Joe
