Intel released it's paxville dual core xeons today. Nobody seemed to notice, and the only one who cared was a certain Mike D.

So true.
While we could spend a lot of time talking about how much better the opterons are, by the end of that chat/day, more of the dc xeons will have sold, than bothe single and dual core opterons. Just another minor tragedy.

 

[pat]

So right.

Intel marketing still rulez!

Sure, all we have to do is scrape together a couple $B. Should be able to pull this off in a week or two.

Why don't we just buy AMD and force them to change their marketing?

 

[endyen]

I guess you've been out of the loop. Amd has two things going against them. People's reluctance to change, and Intel's marketing tactics. Do what it likes, a real success from Amd would only make Intel more aggresive.

Looks more like mono to me. What was Ned doing to that bunny? As if there aren't enough of them already.
