Is this an AMD marketing screwup royale? - Pentadyne Teams With Intel, Sun, Other Industry Leaders to Prove Data Center Energy and Cooling Savings With DC Architecture Wednesday June 21, 3:00 pm ET Pentadyne's Clean Energy Storage Flywheel Systems Vital in Keeping Data Centers Free From Power Interruptions CHATSWORTH, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 21, 2006 -- Pentadyne Power Corporation (www.pentadyne.com), the world's leading commercial manufacturer of clean energy storage systems using advanced composite flywheel technology, announced its participation in a milestone demonstration project at the Sun Microsystems' campus in Silicon Valley to prove that the nation's data centers can conserve massive amounts of energy and drastically reduce their utility bills by using direct current (DC) architecture to run power-hungry servers connected to the Internet. The best minds on energy and data center issues -- including researchers and system engineers at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (www.lbl.gov), California Energy Commission (www.energy.ca.gov/commission), Sun Microsystems (www.sun.com) (NasdaqNM:SUNW - News), Intel (www.intel.com) (NasdaqNM:INTC - News), Cisco (www.cisco.com) (NasdaqNM:CSCO - News), Pentadyne and others -- joined together to develop a working demonstration to prove how the nation's data centers could amass billions of dollars in utility savings by using DC architecture that would conserve thousands of gigawatt-hours of energy per year. One gigawatt-hour is enough energy to power more than 60,000 average homes for a year. ...

Did they really find enough Intel servers at the Sun campus to demo this DC power? If so, how come AMD wasn't included? Petz
