And just who have you heard is going to incorporate PCI Express into the processor that is going to put K8 at such a disadvantage?

I don't think that was his argument. Intel will have chipsets that have PCI Express connections and direct memory connections, so going from a PCI Express video card to memory can be very direct. AMD is at a disadvantage because a tunnel will have to map from PCI Express to HT to get to the northbridge embedded in the processor. There is an issue, but I'm not sure it is worth a red flag just yet. How much extra latency are we talking about, and is it really a factor for the next generation graphics cards, or even beyond that.
