re: AMD has spent a lot of time developing 32-64, while Intel has sold billions of dollars worth of Xeons, while at the very least, using Itanium as a sort of student body left play against sun and ibm.

athlon was not in the same market as xeon.

as far as putting time into x32-64 then
a) we do not really know how much time and money intel spend on ct
b) intel sent good money (billions) after bad into itanic
c) amd got much more than just a 64 bit extention

re: Can 86-64 running on a 7 gigahertz 32 bit processor provide the same server capability as a Itanium?

considering how much time and money was spent on itanium the question should be - is itanium an ultimate solution for high end? Anything but absolutely would mean that itanic is a disaster. I doubt that even you can claim that itanic is an ultimate solution....

re: Now, as I understand, Intel has the right to merely copy AMD code and add it to Xeon. How dumb is that?

well, intel's strategy was to cut amd out of new technology. Let see how well this strategy would work when intel is a follower rather than leader....
