<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.> You still don't understand the point. Unlike clients, enterprise servers can always use more and more processing power. By the time that budget K6-3 500 MHz "server" is out, the requirements of enterprise servers will have moved up a notch. If this weren't the case, Intel would have no need to push so boldly with the upcoming IA-64 platform. <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.> Guess again. Every SMP server means more than one Xeon sold. And to top it all off, I really don't think Xeons in single-CPU configs amount to more than a small percentage of total Xeons because of the overlap with single and dual Pentium III systems. Tenchusatsu P.S. - Malone has thrown one too many elbows. That j### must pay!
