Joe - Re: "And while P6 may have another year to 18 months of useful lifetime ahead of itself, AMD EV6 based CPUs have at least half a year of extra life left in them compared to Intel P6, because of better clock speed scaling."

Huh?

AMD has maxed out on clock speed.

They introed a 1.2 GH ThumperTURD iN October of last year and only now - three months late - is it getting into production.

The heat dissipation is a KILLER - and un;ess the PaloMeano is a miracle chip - it too will burn way too much power that dual CPU systems won't even bew considered.

They will have an adoption among OEMs similar to the Joke Mobile DppWrong launch from last week - one company with a Japan-only - never-heard-of product.

And don't forget - these PaolMEanos wil have NO HOPE of a large L2 cache capability - unlike XEONS which are available with 2 Meg L2 cache.

I'm sure the Pions and the Xigabotcho comnpanies will readily use the AMD chips - but they will be jokes - and will really be glorified PCs.
