While the lack of cache coherency makes multiprocessor work on the i860 interesting, it by no means disqualifies it from multiprocessor work. I am working now on a multiprocessor i860 system. Of course, Intel has realiazed this draw back and is fixing this in the follow on chip. I think the other advantages of the i860 make it more interesting the the 88000 anyway. You have to realize that having the chips doing cache coherency accross the intercpu bus has it's own design issues as well. -Ron
