Beamer - Re: "This shows Intel-1, AMD-0. Paul, any chance you can dig up some of the others, and we can add those to the Intel score? Then, we can keep track of it for each press release that goes by, so that the AMDroids don't forget what the score is."
You betcha - here's a MAJOR Workstation software Design Win for ITanium. Note - ANSYS is a leader in Mechanical Design Software and simulation.

ANSYS, Inc. Announces Support for Itanium Systems Running on HP-UX; ANSYS 6.0 Is the First CAE Software Available on Itanium-Based HP-UX Systems
CANONSBURG, Pa., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS®, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANSS - news), the global innovator of simulation software and technologies aimed at optimizing product development process, today announced that its ANSYS® 6.0 simulation software suite is fully supported on Hewlett-Packard Company's new high- performance HP-UX systems featuring the 64-bit Intel® Itanium(TM) processor.
ANSYS, Inc. worked with HP to make the ANSYS 6.0 simulation software suite the first computer-aided engineering (CAE) software available on Itanium-based systems running HP-UX, allowing ANSYS users access to the next-generation of hardware technology. As a co-inventor of the Itanium Processor Family (IPF) architecture, HP is one of the first computer companies to offer the latest Intel processor technology.
HP's HP-UX operating system is the industry's leading enterprise-class UNIX operating environment, providing a highly reliable, standards-based foundation for companies to run and manage business-critical solutions. Using HP-UX systems, coupled with Itanium processors, ANSYS users can enjoy advanced capabilities that improve development speed and decrease costs.
Featuring 64-bit addressing, Itanium incorporates both hardware and software advances focused on enabling, enhancing, expressing, and exploiting parallelism. These enhancements provide superior application performance and, through Intel's volume manufacturing, lower costs.
``We are pleased to again be the first-to-market with a revolutionary technology to further assist our clients and customers,'' stated Michael Wheeler, vice president of marketing for ANSYS, Inc. ``We feel that the Intel technology, combined with the robust capabilities and stability of HP's HP-UX system, will provide ANSYS 6.0 users with unprecedented cost savings and performance that supports their current and future developments.''
``ANSYS, Inc. has a long history of collaboration with HP,'' stated Knute Christensen, market development manager in HP's Technical Computing Division. ``ANSYS users can now transition to Itanium systems while retaining the reliability and stability of HP-UX.''
