Chuckles - Re: "With CuMine showing it is second place unless one compares non-existant products/platforms, Merced being a non-issue on the desktop, Wilamtte being just a prayer, which OEMs would be putting all their eggs in the INTC "high end" basket? "

I believe EVERY OEM except SUN uses Intel's chips in their Servers and Workstations (they also use other CPUs).

Perhaps you can tell me which ones do not.

Chuckles - Re: "I am sure at least a few OEMs have learnt that trusting Intel on unreleased products can be hazardous to their financial health."

Intel has had some highly visible DELAYS - there is no denying that fact.

Of course, all these same OEMs remember AMD's K6 and K6-2 DELIVERY problems - long after these chips were supposed to be shipping.
