Thread - iXBT Labs has published their September Hardware Overview.. I found this snippet to be of extreme interest.. It has been talked about a bit on here already I think.. but I thought I'd quote it again, just for a reaction on here.

"AMD is having tremendous projects not only in the desktop field but also in the server market. Besides Duron and Athlon CPUs supporting dual-processor configurations, AMD is planning to introduce a special server Athlon Ultra 1.4GHz in November. It will be based on the same Mustang core and will support from 512KB up to 4MB L2 cache depending on the customers demand. And these CPUs will work not only in dual- but also in multi-processor configurations.
In fact, we can't quite make out how Intel is going to compete with Athlon Ultra. Now they have just a 700MHz Xeon with a large 1MB/2MB cache and that's it. As to the latest info, Intel isn't going to make any significant changes here. Again Pentium 4, and namely its server version aka Foster, appears Intel's only hope here. However, Foster will be a really sorry sight until Q2 2001, because at first it will support only dual-processor configurations and will feature a 256KB L2 cache. This is again very favorable for AMD, because the company gets enough time to convince server manufacturers of the necessity to use Athlon Ultra in their products."
