Paul,
I don't know if anyone has already posted this link, but it sure bodes well for Intel server performance.

Unisys Server Sets Performance Record in First
TPC-C Benchmark with Microsoft Windows 2000
Datacenter Server

It refers to transaction processing using a UIS 8-way Xeon configuration at only 550MHz. The interesting part is that it gives about the same performance as an 8-way risc machine (Sun?) at about 1/3 the cost. Wonder what it would do with 1.5GHz.

Here's the link:

Paul, Re: "Also, we've increased our R&D commitments in key areas, like UNIX, IA-64 and high-end servers."

That certainly is good. HP seemed encouraged by their progress in servers. Intel should help them keep that going. When's the rough roadmap timeframe for the Willamette derivative for servers? Foster, is it?

Paul,
RE:Also, we've increased our R&D commitments in key areas, ike UNIX, IA-64 and high-end servers

It would be nice if they gave the break down of the R&D expenses.

Looks like they finally realized that they better get moving or Linux train is going to overtake them. And people like Cobalt, etc will eat their lunch.

Disclaimer: I have am an investor in Cobalt.
