First Clearspeed, now Xilinx... Although they haven't come out and said it explicitly, I believe these are the first wave of cHTT licencees.

That would be two of the three or so candidates I predicted months ago, when we first learned of AMD's cHTT licencing plans...

Next would be NVidia and/or Broadcom...

Nevertheless, we are going to see what a REAL "platform" looks like... The advantage could be enormous, and show that Intel is indeed years behind AMD in terms of platform architecture.

Do not underestimate the meaning of this statement:

"The AMD Opteron(TM) processor with its Direct Connect Architecture, featuring an integrated memory controller and native HyperTransport(TM) technology, complemented by Xilinx Platform FPGA technology and the programming environment from Celoxica, establishes a cost-effective, accelerated-computing platform with compelling economic and technological advantages."
