Rob, >One wonders why anyone buys an Itanium system? Performance?
Ha! Maybe they buy them because they know it says
Intel Inside and no one ever got fired for buying Intel ;-)


You're learning Rob.

Don't get too excited about Itanium there. Regarding
SPEC2000 and Itanium... take a look at Spec95 and Spec2000
and notice that Intel went from a leadership position
to a trailing position (note 833 MHz Alphas... by the
way, 21264A .. no on-chip L2 *yet*)


Look below. In terms of price/performance: perfect 10 for Intel based:

I think that when the industry standard high volume process kicks in at Intel and the server makers, on 64 bit, and IT managers see what price/performance is available, it'll be very hard to ignore. It happened on Pentium Pro and Xeon (hottest product-spending category of all IT products right now is Intel base servers). Why fight it?
