Intel's
E8870 Chipset Takes Itanium 2 to the
Midrange
by
Timothy Prickett Morgan
While everyone is talking about the arrival of the
"McKinley" Itanium 2 64-bit processors that Intel announced last week, one
of the key components that will make the Itanium 2 platform
take off in the midrange or not is the associated E8870
chipset created by Intel. The E8870, formerly known as the
i870 chipset, allows Intel to scale from 2 to 16 processors in
a single system image. This is the core midrange market that

targeting with their own chipsets. READ

Mainframes

company bills its customers. READ

IT Up: Peter or the Red Queen? Pick Your
Principle
by Kevin
Vandever
Ever heard of the Peter Principle? It basically
states that people within an organization tend to get promoted
to their level of incompetence. The theory was first brought
to our collective attention by Laurence J. Peter in his book
The Peter Principle: Why Things Always Go Wrong,
published in 1969. Peter's theory is based on his observation

reason, and create havoc in the workplace. READ
