To which NUMA systems are you referring? Are you talking about SGI Altix systems? Intel's NUMA-like solution for both ia64 and x86-64, Common System Interface (CSI), to compete with hyper-transport has been rumored to be delayed until 2009. If anyone has seen CSI in the wild, I doubt they could mention it.
