it is hard to imagine that in overall cost-cutting environment IT managers would not have similar considerations

Just because everyone is in "cost cutting mode" they aren't going to flock to AMD. They're going to flock to the lowest overall cost + risk. AMD right now still is an unknown in the corporate space, and therefore represents a high risk. They don't have years of board validation experience, Intel does. They don't have a proven track record of server uptime, Intel does.

Funny, I was trying to make the same point

I'm well aware of the point you were trying to make... ;-)

You were essentially taking the same "spin" the authors of the article took: Rather than detailing Intel's launch plans, the authors indicated the launch was to plug alleged "holes" in Intel's server map.

Mad ALbert - Your circuitous, grinny grin grin arguments keep ignoring the FACTS.

In servers, AMD ain't NOWHERE.

Pardon my English.

Uh..just what is AMD's "low cost" solution for 4-way and 8-
way servers?

Uh..just what is AMD's "low cost" solution for low power Blade Servers?
