Re: "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. "

Realtiy check - SUN has already LOST the uniprocessor to 8-way server - Intel-based machines have dominated this for the past several years.

By the time SludgePumper gets out the door - in 2 more years - do you know how large the Intel lead will be - especially considering XEONs, McKinleys and their descendants will be around on 0.13 micron when the Sludge oozes out of AMD's back door.
