Elmer - re: 'No doubt Intel has much faster P4s than the 1.5GHz currently shipping. They're just toying with AMD at this point" It is common knowledge that Intel is stockpliling 2 GHz Pentium 4's - until such time as AMD has a competitive product. Paul

Elmer, Intel investors, IBM has taken over the top TPC-C spot with a 256 CPU Xeon 900 MHz cluster. It runs Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server for its OS (system available date, if you should choose to buy one, is 5/31). Wintel has arrived on the big time computing scene. Foster and Itanium will only extend this. The #4 machine, also IBM, also uses 900 MHz Xeons. I saw the Unisys 32 way CMP machine inside and out last week. It's a really clean design with many mainframe features, like partitionability. With that feature, as many as eight different independent applications could be run on the same machine, each with a different OS, or flavor of an OS, e.g., Windows NT, W2K, Unix, Novell Netware, etc. Unisys is also saying now the same machine will be upgradeable to IA64 soon. The machine is in one refrigerator (but not a wide one) size frame, and Unisys calls it "the Intel mainframe." The top OEM server companies are obviously very serious about building machines of all processing power sizes out of Intel CPUs. tpc.org Tony
