And here's a mention of Apple discussing the use of HyperTransport in the new Mac architecture.

From CNet, of all places.

It sounds like HyperTransport will be used to connect the U2 Northbridge and the KeyLargo Southbridge controllers, in place of the PCI bus used now.

Don't know about the Max bus, used to connect the processors to main memory. There has been mention from time to time about something called Apple Processor Interconnect (or ApplePI), which may be the successor to Max bus.

MacMinute has the info for the WWDC Keynote (10:00 AM, PT) satellite broadcast. This is also apparently going to be shown in Apple Stores (with theaters). I'll be watching at the Mall of the Universe, if true.

No word about a webcast yet.

Edit - I just received an email from the MOA Apple Store saying they will have the live broadcast.

I wonder if MSNBC will do a webcast like they did with the Music Store event?
