Re: Hammer presentation, with some new info: Not bad for 6 months work. They appear to have inherited the DEC/VAX/Alpha legacy in toto - including the planned run at enterprise servers. Makes the 32-chips-connected-with-baling-wire / can't-scale-now-and-never-will approach of Itanic look pretty pathetic. amd.com

Joe, re: "Platform Conference Hammer presentation, new one, with some new info" Thanks for the link. I think there is a lot of new information to contemplate. Hammers in blade servers? When discussing memory latency in n-way systems there is a nice little note: "Assumes 2.4GHz processor." -PT

In case others don't know about it, here is the main page for the "Platform Conference" (July 2002) on the Hypertransport site (from where you provided you link): hypertransport.org Not sure if there is any new information in all of the presentations (other than the one you linked to) but there are a ton of them, including: "AMD's Vision of a 64-bit Future" hypertransport.org "Designing A Thin & Light Notebooks With AthlonXP" hypertransport.org "AMD's x86-64 Technology: Extending the x86 ISA to 64-bits" hypertransport.org (and the one you linked to) "The AMD HyperTransport-based Opteron Processor" hypertransport.org Plus presentations from a host of other companies in the consortium... FWIW, JJ
