    […] It’s written almost as an InfiniBand marketing piece, but it still has value as an “issue awareness” piece. Recall that Sun was talking about its new multithreaded 10 Gig E card designed specifically to enable its multicore chips to get to the network more effectively. I’d be interested in knowing what readers think. […]
