Ten, looks like, in spite of some people anxiously trying to get Intel more into new areas, their traditional business is booming. From Dell's earnings statement:
Dell's revenue from enterprise systems-comprising network
servers, workstations and
storage products-surged 97 percent from last year, growing to 16
percent of total
company sales, a new high. Shipments of Dell PowerEdge servers
were up more than
three times the industry average, translating into a year-over-year
gain of three full points
of market share. The company ranked No. 3 in worldwide server
share in the period, and
No. 2 in the United States.
OK, forget the storage, but Intel has a healthy content in ALL of those workstations and servers.
Another good mention:
Among a number of key enterprise-systems awards won by Dell
during the quarter,
Computerworld magazine named the PowerEdge line its "IT
Leaders' Choice" for
corporate servers. The Dell Precision 610 workstation, which runs
on Intel Corp.'s
Pentium III Xeon processor, earned an "Editor's Choice" award
from PC Magazine in its
annual comparison of such products.
Too bad Dell only met street expectations.
