RE: "The statement in italics above is complete and utter BS. For anyone dropping in, I am definitely pro-Intel, but I happen to know a little bit about what's happening in the computer world, and Xeon, and IA64 will cause maybe a 0.18 micron wide crack in big iron armor in the next few years."
Hi Tony,
I think the statement in italics was dramatically stated, but I believe there's an extremely strong element of truth in it, particularly in the Workstation and Server markets. I am seeing Intel penetrate the lower-end Server market and see no reason why this couldn't continue up the food chain. When you say it's "BS," were you referring to the big iron MFs or high-end Server market? If MF, I agree we're a ways from reaching that market. I wasn't sure what part you were discounting (i.e. what part of the high-end market, which market applications, and why?)
Best,
