A couple of other thoughts regarding Intel and IB ...

I was just reading EE Times (Aug 28 edition) this afternoon.
I think the article entitled "Intel, Barrett feeling the heat
of multiple fires" on page 24 was revealing. Intel admits
to having some engineering staffing problems. Barrett's words
were "Hiring in Silicon Valley now is hell ..." Both Q and Brocade
can probably testify to the same, particularly in the rarified
high performance I/O arena.

This quarter, Intel is starting to demonstrate signs of Barrett's
leadership and the influence of gobbling up the top CPU and
network design teams from Digital back in 1998 (Compaq was
mainly interested in the service support infrastructure). Intel
is moving into network processors (high-speed core routers).
According to the trades, Intel has over 60 design wins with their
IXP1200. Look for contracts with companies like Lucent, Nortel,
Cisco, Alcatel. Intel is staking out the middle ground down
to the appliance level. The industry's 800 lb gorilla needs to
keep a healthy market for processors in volume. They seem to
have left the sexy high-end optical networking to their partners.
