I'm only aware of one NUMA Octa-Xenon design, and it's not
clear the prototype will be finished and taken to market.
I suspect there is at least one more in the same shape.

Most of the Octa and greater PPro people are betting on
IA64, which has left them without a good X86 transition
MP product since the PPro's are pretty doggy by todays standard.
Big Iron X86 companies like Sequent must be really hurting
with dual PII/PIII systems closing the gap.

If IA64 is delayed much longer, I think we might see some
fast Quad/Octa PIII's developed and released.
