This ties in with what our vendor for HPC equipment had said. Also around that time ServerWorks will announce availability of their PCI-E based opteron 1x 2 and 4x chipsets and maybe the 8x as well. Boards based on them are expected in the channels by aug/sept assuming no show stopper errata. The ServerWorks opteron 16x and 32x chipsets are being worked on in a knowledge sharing opp with SUN as sun have some lush crossbar IP to share with Serverworks in return for exclusive access to the resultant chipsets for a period of time. Just though I'd share the info. Now back to testing these new CAE/simulation boxen for our new product.
