From your post:
It appears that AMD is desperate and has nothing to loose by introing unavailable products in order to try to slow the erosion in market share and get one more headline. AMD needs to keep the OEMs and motherboard suppliers motivated to continue the pipeline that supports Athalon.
Oh, heck, why not:

Is MS hanging fire on 64-bit Opteron support?
Windows.NET server futures outlined
By INQUIRER staff: Friday 23 August 2002, 16:26
AN ARTICLE ON Japanese site PC Watch writes about a briefing Microsoft gave journalists earlier this week about 64-bit products it is proposing.
One 64-bit OS is conspicuous by its absence, it would appear.
Microsoft has outlined, according to the article, four different types of .NET server – Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter – and the article gives an interesting table describing the differences between these products.
In particular, the table outlines IA-64 support, memory requirements, Numa support and also whether the products will support multiple CPUs.
The OSes are tailored to the type of CPU, as the table shows, but what's interesting here is that there doesn't seem to be support for the X86-64 platform –
213.219.40.69
I guess that leaves 32 Bit Unix for amd's o/s. |
