Keith, um, how to put this... X3 wasn't the reason IBM refrained from launching 4P Opteron solutions last year. (Intel $$$ was the reason.) It doesn't make any sense. They didn't introduce it because in a year they would have something that would be competitive for approximately 1 month, until DC Opteron arrived??? Yeah, right. Notice that they could've intro'd an Opteron 4-way last year, and they'd still have X3 ready to go now.

Face it, Intel "co-marketing funds" at work.

X3 has been a long expensive time in the making and Itanium at IBM is also a casualty of it. It's a clever chipset and one shouldn't begrudge its success. IBM have a lot of Xeon sites and X3 is their replacement. If IBM feel they are losing enough business to HP and Sun they will introduce Opteron servers. As it is HP, Sun and Tier-2/3s should be quite sufficient for dual-core success.
