Yeah.... I'm very optomistic about IBM's new chips that are coming out
next year. Each "processor module" will have 4 processors, but each
processor will have 2 cores - so in effect, each "processor module" has 8
processors on it. All processors will have copper interconnects, and
depending on the source, will debut at anywhere from 1.3 to 2 gigahertz. I
think that will certainly help them get a larger share of the high-end
market!
