techweb.com According to audited retail sales data from Intelect ASW Marketing Services, PCs built with non-Intel microprocessors accounted for 36 percent of all desktop unit sales at retail in January. In first quarter 1997, Non-Intel-based PCs accounted for only 6 percent of retail desktop unit sales. (Give me a cigarette and blindfold I'll probably get shot for passing this along.) (A quarter or two and the multi way symetricals and merceds kick in.) techweb.com But the processor giant hopes to parlay the PCI's phaseout into an opportunity to design an interconnect that would not only push its PC servers deeper into the territory of high-performance computing, but could also open Intel processors and server subsystems to new market realms. Intel is betting that such applications as public telephone switches and terabit routers will adopt its commodity-computing business model in tandem with its ultra-fast follow-on to PCI.
