IBM states that the x366 beat out HP's four-processor Opteron-based DL585 by 8 per cent on the TCP-C benchmark. What happens come mid-year when AMD rolls out dual-core Opterons, while Intel customers are still stuck with single core chips? Opteron-based systems also scale better than the Xeon kit, according to most analysts.

The Xeons used were plain 1Meg L2 versions and still they beat the best Opteron systems by a wide margin. They didn't even use the new 2Meg L2 ones much less the upcoming 8Meg Potomacs.

The high-end x86 market hasn't developed the way some expected.

Certainly not the way AMD Fans expected...
