Hypertransport on a laptop?

Hypertransport on a laptop, or even single-socket desktops and servers is pretty irrelevant.

no need to have hypertransport

Well, truth as to be said. Intel doesn't need Hypertransport because it doesn't need it. Intel's cpus has more than enough juice to trounce any offering AMD has. It's a pitty because the market needs competition and if we now have Core2 is just because the pressure AMD put in the past with A64.

Now, in the workstation and server arena Hypertransport makes all sense and Intel is playing catch-up. But even here Intel's Xeons has the edge on AMD Opterons without Hypertransport (CSI). Just imagine what will happen in this field when Intel delivers CSI.
