Marvell announces Discovery III Northbridge : Comment 69 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by tonya on 01-Oct-2003 12:35 GMT | eva: and what good does this give us ? ..i mean dual cpu or not.., i cant afford something that will cost 4000 USD! , people who buy this over other alternatives atm would have to be rather rich , beyond that ..last i checked there is no OS to be runned with such an hw.
if there is an OS in progress for such, it will take YEARS for it to succeced , look at the x86 plattform.., smp died faster than anything else, mainly due to the os's who said we support it but we dont promise any actual speedup's .
but i agree some chipset designers pulled it off quite well but it didnt really make em for "normal users" .
