A 12 core x86 server chip in 2000? Would have been really cool (or hot?) and large.. Even the 180 nm single core Opteron dies (no, they weren't sold) were large.

And then who is Chuck Moore, who calls himself "Chief architect for next generation x86 processor"?

I usually look at many bits of information and some rumours too, but wouldn't bet the farm on one guy. And even if I would, I'd prefer Andy Glew over C Maier. Just some speculative thoughts: Well, BD will not become the G3 socket (that with 4 serial memory channels connected to G3MX memory extenders) computing monster with 32 cores capable of speculative threading and supporting TFP or the 8-wide design being worked on for a while. Who cares about 250W TDP? Such a beast would sell like hot cakes. If I'd know such designs existed and were already in the pipeline (and some designs have been cancelled as we heard in rumours before), I'd maybe be unhappy with any remaining architecture, which is scheduled for launch in 2011...
