This is not quite correct. The public standard is hypertransport, which allows the CPU to communicate with the southbridge.

The bus that allows interprocessor communication is called coherent hypertransport and that is NOT a public standard and is NOT available for licencing. Its probably a superset of HT.

Therefore the statement that with a licence Intel could make glueless multiprocessor systems is NOT correct.

xp5000, sgolds - Is coherent HTT(where the rubber meets the road for glueless MP) even available to Intel? Or anyone else, for that matter?
