Albert,
you may be right that if you look at the numbers now, desktop
machines currently sell more than the server/wkt. station market.
But, server growth is phenomenal and will continue in the
forseeable furure. Reasons: intranets/extranets, continue movement
towards client/server, NCs if they ever take off, etc. This is
a very high growth mkt., with HIGH MARGINS. This alone will take
Intel to $200 this year. Also, each server may have 4, 6, 12, 24, etc
PPRO processors. Scalability is definitely a big plus.
Competition? Where? If you're talking about UNIX systems (e.g
Sun Sparc, HP, IBM RISC, DEC Alpha), you have it the other way
around. It is Intel who is taking serious mkt. share away from
this traditionally UNIX mkt. and this trend should continue. |
