Maxwell. >>>I can guarantee you that the K7
will be faster than any Xeons Intel got.<<<

Can you substitute CPU chips in for Xeons? Doesn't matter, even if AMD were to pull off the big upset, it doesn't mean the boys that make servers would go with AMD. Remember who has the infrastructure support, best FIT rates, RAS, yields and availability of large quantities of chips practically guaranteed. In the case of servers, these are much more important than a little more speed. Ask IBM, Compaq, Dell, HP, anyone. This isn't about overclocking chips or some 16 year old's benchmarks. The server boys have their own benchmarks.
