The Itaniums will make for nice SMP clusters though with its fast front
side bus. Multiple IA-64s sharing a FSB along with many GB of shared
memory and Infinband for very fast interconnects will be nice. Clusters
will probably have a completely different face a year from now. It will
probably be another year until the AMD Hammer series comes out that
there is a real price drop in the processors.
