Gleder meg til å se produktet! Håper de kommer med en arbeidstasjonvariant også, ment for 2 Opteroner

Veldig bra for AMD, dette. Frister ikke så mye å ha en server med VIA-brikkesett...

Tyan is expected to announce an 8-way Opteron-based server at CeBIT or Computex in 2005, said the sources. This server board would likely be based on a chipset from ServerWorks, a Broadcom subsidiary, according to the sources.

Broadcom Corporation, a global leader in wired and wireless broadband communications semiconductors, today introduced the industry's most integrated, HyperTransport™ technology-based server I/O controller that features all of the major industry standard I/O interfaces on a single chip. This includes 1 GHz HyperTransport technology, PCI Express®, PCI-X®, HyperTransport tunnel, and integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports. Leveraging Broadcom's GbE and I/O expertise, which is based on multiple generations of field-proven technology, this new platform solution demonstrates Broadcom's leadership in providing highly integrated, feature-rich, flexible and scalable server I/O products. As a result, Broadcom continues to deliver the best mix of performance, power consumption and cost-effectiveness in the server market today.

 

The new Broadcom® single-chip I/O platform solution is designed to solve cost and usability issues that server OEMs and end users face. Server OEMs have been attempting to secure a cost-effective way to integrate dual-port GbE controllers, PCI Express and PCI-X into the volume 2-way server market segment.

 

The flexible architecture in the new Broadcom HT-2000 I/O controller is the most feature-rich 2-way server platform solution, enabling OEMs to scale beyond the 2-way segment into the 4-way and 8-way product segments using the same enterprise-class architecture. End users can now take advantage of server-class reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features regardless of the server segment. These same RAS features that have become standard in the 4-way and above server segment are now available to the 2-way volume server market.
