IBM denies any dispute with Intel over bus direction

Tikiri Wanduragala, the charismatic director of Netfinity products at IBM EMEA, was in Raleigh last week talking to his colleagues who work on bus technology. And he was adamant that his company, Compaq and Hewlett Packard have not fallen out over the PCIX versus the NGIO bus. However, he did say that the PCIX chipset was due to ship shortly, an interesting snippet of information. No one from Intel UK was available for comment today. ®
