Haven't heard that one, but the chipset design is greatly simplified making multiprocessing very cheap and easy. I heard Intel is having trouble clocking up their latest beyond 3.2 GHz or something (running too hot!), thus the delays of the Hammer may not be so crucial to AMD. Let's wait and see if HT takes off, if so AMD said they might consider it, but for now they believe the future is in real SMP. If HT doesn't take off, Intel is surely going to get rammed (again) :) http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1752 -S.
