If this chip really were socket-compatible with QPI Xeon's, that could

I'm curious how you came to your "could be a game-changer" conclusion. By all
appearances, it's the architecture and the mountain of baggage it brings that
has been pretty soundly rejected by all but a very few. Hardware
implementation details seem to be well below the noise floor wrt
significance...
