[illumos-Developer] Solaris Future?

[Rocky Shek]

Garrett,

How about coming Sandy Bridge E5 series Dual socket CPU and current single socket E3 CPU?

Do we have any issue to support them? Will it be the same case that the agreement between Intel & Oracle prevent Intel to well support illumos?

I'm working with intel, but to be honest, their agreements with Oracle
make this difficult.  Apparently their agreements may limit how they are
able to release code to other parties.  I blame Oracle.
