Earlier introduction of CSI as a replacement to the fsb?

Doesn't mention any other changes.

Hopefully before then, Dempsey will swoop down and fix a couple of things. This is talk of 2007 though, which has me worried what AMD will have out by then.

HTT 2.0 is what amd is going to use in the near future

I think little will change for amd in the next year other than the shift to ddr2, and possibly extremely limited avaliability/outragously priced quad core opterons. This will be followed right at the end of the year by incremental speedbumps once they move to 65nm. So really as long as Intel doesnt mess up, they should be pretty evenly matched, which is quite amazing considering the k8 architecture gained mostly because of its on die memory controller, and intel are unlikely to have got that far by then (unless thats one of the changes to whitefield to create tigerton - after all changing the bus will improve bandwidth massively, but latency is unlikely to have changed too much.)
