Tony,
Also, there is revolutionary packaging development going on right now in the 1-2-4 way server space. The OEMs are working furiously to get this new concept out, and anything they can eliminate, like looking at an alternative CPU chip supplier, will be done. Also, low power is critical in this packaging scheme, something AMD has been ignoring.
What concept are you talking about? I guess Intel is out of this game with the 600W McKinley.
All this talk of the Intellabees reminds me of the time when I was a kid (back in Czechoslovakia). We used to go play hockey to a frozen lake that was a few miles outside of town. We always played until complete darkness (usually when we lost all of our pucks). Anyway, then we had to go home, and on a cloudy night it was pitch dark, we had to walk through some wooded area, and frankly, we were scared $hitless. We would talk loud, sing, and generally make noises so that we sounded like a group to be feared. Nevertheless, we were scared $hitless.
The Intelabees sound just like we did when the subject of servers comes up.
