<Ten - re: Kap, when we talk about servers, we are talking about enterprise servers, the kind that host popular web sites, the kind which process transactions for e-commerce, or those which manage huge databases. I don't think you'd want your bargain-basement K6-2 machines purchased from Costco to function in these areas.> What is a budget k6-2 350 server today, will be a budget k6-3 500 server in three month with enough processing power to move up the food chain and take some sales from Xeon in the low end. I am not even talking about K7 yet. Intel can dominate the SMP x86 market for a while, but how many Xeon sales will be lost in a single CPU server market. Do you know how many Xeons are sold into single-CPU and SMP servers or workstations? I don't have the numbers, but my guess would be that Xeons in single-CPU configurations outsell Xeons in SMP configurations by a 2 to 1 margin. Kap.
