Fin - I like all the major sports - they are all different and they all have their great points. By the way - please relate the George Carlin skit ypu mentioned - the only "sports" skit of his that I remember was: "And here are the basketball scores: 98 to 87 101 to 76 88 to 57 and a partial score.....66 !"

AMD ain't gonna keep up !! 213.219.40.69 Intel moves to plug AMD server gap Boxed products widened By Mike Magee, 05/11/2001 16:27:50 BST INTEL HAS NEVER MADE A BIG song and dance about boxed products for the server marketplace - this is because of old the big PC makers found high margin and good business delivering big machines with Xeon processors with heaps of cache. But the times they are a changing, and in part this is due to Advanced Micro Devices and Via, who wish to step into those lucrative blue suede shoes that only La Intella was able to wear in days of yore. It's with some interest then, that we see Intel offering a boxed front end DP server roadmap to its distributors and system integrators during this quarter and Q1/Q2 of next year. The 2U, volume 1U and Value 1U boxed server Intel is offering in Q4 and early Q1 next year are Pentium III-S chips at 1.26GHz, 1.40GHz and using the ServerWorks LE 3 (Broadcom - cough) or Micron Copperhead chipsets. But in February there is a big change. Intel will then introduce Prestonia Xeons, firstly at 2.20GHz and then at 2.40GHz which come with integrated 512K cache and use .13 micron technology. More importantly, they will use either the ServerWorks GC-HE chipset or the E7500 chipset - a new one on us, we thought, until we realised that the Plumas Codename has finally got a proper Intella name. The first half of 2002 brings further changes to Intel's server strategy for the channel in the shape of multiprocessing mobos - some might say at last. The long-awaited Shasta SRSH4 - we were writing about this at the Other Plaice a full two years back- and which comes in Q1 02 supports a 4-way Xeon configuration using ServerWorks Grand Champion and the 7U SC7100 Cabrillo chassis. There will be a Gallatin upgrade to this configuration in the second half of next year. Hodges (SHG2) is a DP configuration using the ServerWorks GC-LE chipset and the SC5200 chassis. That's slated for Q2 next year. Mr Dodson arrives next month, and is a two way PIII-S (512K) configuration using the ServerWorks HE-SL chipset and the Hudson 5U chassis. This is an interesting configuration given that AMD seems to be grabbing a lot of business with its MP offerings, and also considering that Xeons are supposed to be the answer to everyone's last desire. And Mr Adkins also arrives in December this year, supporting a 2-way Pentium III-S config again, and using the Hudson II base and the LE-3T chipset - again a ServerWorks win. What of dual Xeons, you ask? Not until the second half of next year, with Mr Bryson being a DP configuration using the Plumas E7500 chipset and a 5U chassis. After all this excitement, you're probably wondering what's happening on the workstation front. Not a great deal. The 860 will carry on supporting Xeons at 2GHz, in Q1 of next year at 2.20GHz with integrated L2 cache, and in Q2 of next year a 2.40GHz part with the same level of support.
