Thanks for your reply Mats! I know this, but the article states, that 
apart from the new processors. the integration of "AMD-V" into chipsets 
will make it possible to use  the full potential of hardware-based 
Virtualization.

If this is true (I found the statement only in the german article!), what 
will these "full potentials" or "optimizations" be in practical use? And 
when will the new chipsets and mainboards  be available, this year, next 
year? And when - if ever - will Xen support them?

The difference is that Intel will not offer those chipsets.
