Intel opens up chip connections

Misinformed story: "the front-side bus that Intel currently uses to connect its own processors to other processors, memory and all other computing subsystems."

Nope. AMD's Hypertransport does all that. Intel's FSB only connects the chip to the North Bridge. The North Bridge talks to memory, and other computing subsystems.

The part about connecting to other processors is another lie. There's no such thing.
