JBoyd - Re: " How much will this impact PC performance? "

PC's - Personal Computers - are not the initial target of the PCIx - SERVERS are the machines for which this proposal was drafted.

Way down the road, this may find its way into PCs.

Re: "Will it impact Intel's competitive position relative to AMD?"

Maybe.

If AMD needs to upgrade their servers, they will help Intel by purchasing these big XEON honkers.

As for AMD making servers, they don't "live" in this space, although they "think" their K7 will buy them a ticket to the party.
