>And if they haven't, how do you expect SUN to somehow come up with say a 32-way SludgePumper ENTERPRISE SERVER when AMD can't even produce a 2-way AthWIpers4US server?<

SUN will not be using Sledgehammer to dominate the 32-way server market. All SUN has to do is dominate the uniprocessor through 8-way server markets with low cost Sledgehammer servers in order to limit Itanium's market. Without the market, Itanium will not attract the software base. Without the software base, Itanium will not be able to compete against SUN's 16-way and 32-way SPARC based servers.

Dear Paul:

Intel has lost the MHz race. Systech has announced a 1.8GHz AMD Tbird with full AMD warranty. AMD shipping the fastest warranteed x86 CPU. You do not want to see the benchmarks as it will make you and your fellow Intel supporters cry.
