Re: AMD needs Linux support and may have trouble finding it...

We'll see how things stand when AMD has shipped it's 10 millionth 64-bit processor and Intel has shipped 250 thousand IA-64 parts.

AMD looks to be producing equal numbers of 32 and 64 bit processors by the end of next year. There will not be a large price premium for 64 bit power, and it the chips will run the existing 32 bit code base as fast as anything else available.

Intel will have only it's flukey IA-64 that can't run existing code as fast as a Cyrix MII and costs 10 times as much as all that chips that are faster than it is.

The Linux vendors will embrace X86-64 as fast as they dump IA-64.
