". Read the rest right here ____________________________________________ 06/08/04 - New 64-Bit Linux drivers from NVIDIA NVIDIA just quietly posted here a list of nForce chipsets and graphics chips drivers for Linux IA32, Linux IA64, Linux AMD64 and Free BSD. Here are some of the new features: - Added support for nForce3 platforms - Added audio control panel application - Added 6 channel output, audio input selection - Added GART patch for kernel 2.4.21 - AMD64 only: Added support for x86-64 architecture - Added binary RPMs for SuSE Enterprise Server 8 x86-64 ____________________________________________ 06/07/04 - Sempron: New processor from AMD AMD today announced that it will introduce a new brand of PC processors to be named AMD Sempron. The AMD Sempron processor family is expected to redefine everyday computing for today's value-conscious buyers of desktop and notebook PCs. More details about AMD's new mobile and desktop processors will be forthcoming in the second half of 2004. Shipments of the AMD Sempron and Mobile AMD Sempron processors are scheduled to begin during the second half of 2004. ____________________________________________ 06/04/04 - Eight-way Opteron servers coming at year-end Computer World confirms the news given yesterday by the inquirer here regarding an 8-way Opteron motherboard coming before year end: "Iwill's eight-way Opteron server is a 5U (22.2 centimeter-high) rack-mounted unit. Inside, the server contains two motherboards stacked one above the other, with each board holding four processors. The server can be equipped with up to 64G bytes of DDR (Double Data Rate) memory, two CD-ROM drives and eight Serial ATA hard-disk drives, according to Iwill". Read the rest here ____________________________________________ 06/02/04 - Red Hat: Intel 64-bit slower than AMD 64-bit! A eagle-eyed Silicon Investor poster found a little piece of jewellery in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 2 Release Notes that we can't refrain from posting: "Intel EM64T does not support an IOMMU in hardware while AMD64 processors do. This means that physical addresses above 4GB (32 bits) cannot reliably be the source or destination of DMA operations. Therefore, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 2 kernel "bounces" all DMA operations to or from physical addresses above 4GB to buffers that the kernel pre-allocated below 4GB at boot time. This is likely to result in lower performance for IO-intensive workloads for Intel EM64T as compared to AMD64 processors".

Today News Factor as the some numbers that give a better picture of this very buzy sector: "New x86-64 servers, which support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, showed 35.1 percent sequential growth in unit shipments, although this category accounted for less than 2 percent of the total x86 market in Q1 04, this space is expected to expand rapidly by 2005, given Tier-1 OEM support for AMD's Opteron processor".

The chipset maker has proven to be an important component in the server market infrastructure. For a time, the ServerWorks division was the exclusive provider of four-way chipsets, when Intel couldn't make the design work for its own chips".
