EP, <The P2P bus is of very questionable benefit> You and your buddies at Intel seem to have missed one more inflection point in modern technology: the time for old "busses" is over! By applying the whole power of your deduction, you may find out that the EV6 P2P is NOT a BUS, it is POINT-TO-POINT connection, and EXTREMELY FAST, without any tracing/termination/anti-reflection tweaks (where the major system production cost sits). The busses/switches are going into SILICON, buddy, S-I-L-I-C-O-N, to spell out for you, where they can really do the intercommunication job, with greater potential for speed, and without Xeon's 2-to-4 scalability constipation. <There's a new party about to start and AMD hasn't been invited.> Your party seems to be in serious constipation but has not ordered enough of portable toilets... must be sh!t all over the place soon...
