no surprise here - intel paid for the development. Amd would probably join in on established market, after all, amd's packets are not that big :-))
About crashing, is not intel's bug list is longer than amd's?

Aloha, Intel (and AMD) both in SUNs Cobalt server.

The article is at :
ebns.com

Here's the essence of the article :
"It is the first time Intel, which has an up-and-down relationship with Sun, has broken into the big server and workstation OEM's line. AMD's K6-II had been used by Cobalt in earlier servers.

Brown said ServerWorks had been discussing the Intel Pentium solution with Cobalt for some time, which was previously reported. He didn't know if AMD was also in contention for the RaQ XTR server.

The ServerWorks official said now that its Intel Pentium-supporting chipset has gotten a foot in the door at Sun, he was hoping to push Intel MPUs for other servers at the OEM giant. "We'll never displace Sun's own Sparc processors used in most of its line. But there are other selected small server areas within Sun where we can push Intel processors," he summed up.

Maui.

John - Re: "Probably more often than if they used a AMD microprocessor, and also it could be cheaper with AMD. Have to wonder how Intel got the design win? It must have been intimidation."

It is POWER DISSIPATION.

AMD went hell-bent for leather for speed with their AthWipers - which chew up enormous watts.

These wattburners essentially eliminate AMD AthWipers from the get-go - they don't even get to the design stage.
