Tyan Thunder K7
Posted by : June 5th
(Press Release) Tyan Computer Corporation has announced
they have initiated shipments of the
first dual-processor DDR-based platform for AMD's new line
of Athlon MP processors for servers and
workstations. The Thunder K7 system board utilizes
breakthrough chipset technology and includes a
host of integrated features.
Designed around the new AMD-760 MP chipset, the Thunder K7
supports AMD's new
server/workstation processors, providing exciting new
levels of performance. This performance gain is
due in large part to the independent data paths between
the chipset and the processors and the
high-speed interconnect to the DDR interface. Unlike
competing designs, each processor has its own
data path to and from the AMD-760 MP chipset, removing bus
contention between the processors,
and increasing overall throughput. The Thunder K7 is
available in two versions, one for servers and
one for workstations. The server version includes on-board
VGA and server management options,
while the workstation version includes an AGP Pro slot.
Both models features a wide variety of
integrated functions such as 64-bit PCI slots, Double Data
Rate (DDR) memory support, dual-channel
Ultra160 SCSI and dual Fast Ethernet controllers.

Dual PGA462 sockets support up to two AMD
Server/Workstation processors
AMD-760(TM) MP chipset supports a 266/200MHz
system bus
