Multiple chipset IC in 1 board.

[asian1]

Hello
Recently AMD launched its 64 bit Opteron CPU that support up to 8-way SMP. There is an interesting method to implement SMP: multiple Dual CPU chipset in a single motherboard /system.

(ie: 4 CPU + 2 chipset, 6 CPU + 3 chipset etc)

Opteron Chipset

"Typically, two-, four- and eight-processor servers all use different types of chipsets. The more processors a server has, the more difficult it is to develop a chipset.
By contrast, the chipset is the same for all Opteron chipsets. A four-processor server, in other words, is just two twos linked together. "

Is it possible to put multi chipset on a single board in the future version of MAI Logic or IBM 970 chipset?

You know what I find really funny ?

the lenght some people can go to bring anything "Amiga" in the
picture whenever new tech arises .....

MAI-Logic:
You will find info about the next 2 generations of their chips
on their homepage, which is probraly (and realisticly) their
roadmap for the next 3 or more years. Found anything similar
to the Opteron-Chipset ?

IBM:
They allready have the Power4-CPUs which take that thought even
one step further. Doing something similar to the 970 seems quite
unlikely and the hope of a consumer-friendly Power4 is vain.

He didn't mention Amiga, kronos. :-)

Thats why I wrote:
anything "Amiga"

Which includes MAI, or what do you think he was aiming at ?
