Re: "Also, the 30% savings becomes negligible as you start factoring in software costs.

Saving a few bucks on hardware is a distraction when total costs get factored in over a period of time."

Paul, that's like saying the Federal government should buy $200 toilet seats because the toilet seat expenditures are a negligible part of the total budget. It doesn't make sense.

AMD's customers are box makers. Box makers are looking to save every penny they can as long as they can still deliver equal performance. Over time, small savings add up to big bucks.
