Re: During that time period, what speeds have the MAD large cache server CPUs progressed through?

They went from 0 to 0 in large cache chips.

But, particularly for SMP, AMD's 20-way cache and star based architecture is less dependent on large caches than Intel's 8-way cache with shared bus architecture.

And, in that period, AMD went from 0 SMP chipsets and 0 SMP motherboards to 2 SMP chipsets and 8 different SMP motherboards for AMD Athlon being shipped from 6 different manufacturers.
