Um NVida?

Asymetric cores?

I86 compatibility?

Is this exactly what Nvidia wants in its fight against the G/CPU's of AMD/Intel

Assymetrical

I do believe so. Damnit, at the rate this is going, my next machine might actually be made entirely out of Nvidia components where availble.

"close to buying" ?

Surely, *surely* if Sun wanted the tech it would be easier and cheaper to wait until Montalvo croaks, and then purchase the bits of the carcass that they want?

why not AMD

Happy

seriously AMD would be more interested in a better x86 given their current woes
