You need look no further than Anand's web site servers. AMD is already there and is growing in ratio of AMD nodes vs total nodes.

Anand, as much as he is a good student, analyst and reporter about new platforms (even though he came across a little strange reviewing the desktop Tualatin yesterday instead of the mobile) is a small fry user. He's more like the university types that don't care if they reboot once in a while than he is like a shop that requires mission critical computing. These would be like banks and stock exchanges. I believe that Intel is going the way of the latter. They were the first to introduce ECC, including for cache, in low cost platforms. In the future, they'll be in servers with everything hot swappable, even the CPU boards.

ARM hands new chip design to Intel, TI

Chip designer ARM Holdings announced Monday that it has licensed the next version of its processor architecture to Intel and Texas Instruments.
As usual, England's ARM won't make any chips itself. Instead, ARM will license its new v6 architecture to companies such as TI and Intel that will use the processing engine in their chips.

Although handheld computers and cell phones using the new architecture are probably still several years away, ARM CEO Robin Saxby said the new design will help create new uses for cell phones, functions such as streaming video, interactive gaming and electronic commerce. Saxby noted that such advances are critical to recover the substantial investment that the wireless industry has made...

Peter Principle - re: "You need look no further than Anand's web site servers. :

Good example.

Is Anand in the Fortune 500, Fortune 5000 or Fortune 500,000?

If his servers crash, the only loss is that a bunch of panicing AMDroids can't get their daily dose of AMD overclocking propaganda.
