I have seen reports that both Intel and IBM are working on chipsets that will support that. I think the reports were talking many way SMP but possibly that is because where Itanium is positioned. This
I'd have to dig up the article, but I recall a ComputerWorld tidbit on IBM planning 32-way SMP, IIRC. I probably should post that link.
looks like it may be in the McKinley time frame. I have a strange hunch that McKinley will be bus compatible with the P4. This is what I am picking up through osmosis reading the reviews.
I suppose that this makes sense. IMHO, the P4 chip is a disaster... it would make sense for Intel to get $$$ from the "bleeding edge" crowd who wants the latest-and-not-so-greatest, helping to get the new bus technology in volume production.
