Petz, > Opteron was first 64-bit server processor and first dual core server processor, but it still took another year before DELL pushed that "easy" button. LOL.

Wow, you consider anything that AMD couldn't achieve in Internet time as "proof" of Intel's abuse.

Like I said, AMD was able to make inroads and turn a profit when Opteron was better than Xeon. Before, the complaints from the AMD fans were, "Oh, Intel is using Xeon profits to offset the Celeron predatory pricing."

Lo and behold, AMD found a way to compete ... without resorting to a lawsuit.

P.S. - No need to tell me that AMD could have done "even better." Or pretend that I have reading comprehension problems. I know what "gun to the head" implies. It's B.S. no matter how many times it's been repeated.

LOL, the MIPS R4000 and Alpha EV4 only beat Opteron to
market by about a decade.
