"And you think that CSI will not be more robust than HTT?" Ah. So you don't know, but just expressing your faith.

smooth2o, There are 4 question marks in your "answer". It is a confirmation that you don't have the faintest idea of what you are talking about. BTW, combjelly already predicted what your non-answer would be: "If Intel does it, it has to be more robust." Message 22376667 Joe

So it's just a hunch then? Just "It's Intel, so it must be better .(Especially because it's taking so long to design...)" Your tiny brain can't think of any other reason why Intel might not want to use AMD's HTX? Riiight. De Nile ain't... Ahh, forget it. fpg

Smooth, just to add to the other guys: 1) AMD's HT, HTc, and HTX are all very robust or have you heard reliability problems about it ever? 2) All HT-versions will get faster, but in addition to that HTc is seen to get more efficient by adopting cache coherency features that will speed up cache access as well (which is why Phil Hester might have joined AMD summer last year to replace Fred Weber - he came from Newisys that developed more advanced cache coherency mechanisms).. It'll be extremely hard for Intel to come up with a version of CSI that's better than AMD's highly evolved HT. AMD is way ahead and has a solid roadmap that significantly improves on current HT (version 2). Version 3 (which has reportedly 3 times the speed of current version 2) is well on it's way to the market, and version 4 is nicely outlined already as well. (Somewhat related: anandtech.com ) AMD took over most of (DEC related) API guys - about the most reknown interconnect specialists available - in several moves. These guys have proven themselves wouldn't you say? So in short there's no reason to assume Intel can do it better. Regards, Rink
