Why are you assuming Galaxy is not based on Horus? The only thing we know is that Serverworks will be providing chipset, and there have already been some rumors / demonstrations of Serverworks chipset, which kind of parallels AMD;s 8131 / 8111. There has been no info about anything from Serverworks that would halp connecting more than 4 processors, so it is possible that Horus will be used.

Possible but not that likely because SUN hasn't mentioned Horus/Newisys once while they share in some way in the development costs of Serverworks chipset. So why are you presuming we have seen all chips from the Serverworks chipset already? Maybe there are more alternative solutions, but I'd find it weird if SUN would really use Horus (even though I agree with you that would help them scale much higher). Not counting out your suggestion, just currently find it not the most likely one.
