1) Tri gate is Intel big guy Here
2)SOI is a global semi-conductor technology not just AMD's
3)Again a global semi-conductor technology
Your dreaming is starting to get annoying AMD isn’t going to come into the server market and be a huge hit. They have a Image and that image is second rate. Like the statement "no one gets fired for buying a Intel server" that is very literal.
Just what the hell are you trying to quote me about or replying me for?!
Spud I'd forgive you if you were drunk when you wrote this, but you are truly starting to be annoying with your erroneus syntax, lack of punctuation and simply no relation to what we say.
I stated 3 facts that Intel owns, and CAN use them at a speed to crush the competition. 0.09m is almost perfected, as we've been told, TriGate requires no new tools to the fab, therefore they can forget 2005 and go for it NOW. They have SOI predicted for 2005 as well, but they can just throw a billion for R&D and perfect it now while AMD is still trying to. I wasn't even stating facts FOR AMD, how the hell you thought I was is beyond me, but you are a biased symbol of Intel.
I did not even state that AMD would be succesful for sure. I said this was a THEORY, a SUPPOSITION, that if Hammer delivers, they MIGHT get what they want. SUN was reported to be working with AMD to supply some low-end server purpose Opterons. But it doesn't matter, my point is that AMD has done the right thing trying a different approach, they definitly CANNOT win or compete anymore if they have delayed CH for 2H 2003. Rather, at least trying to halt the competition, tell Intel "You do what you want, I'm outta here for now man", and go try something new, the server world. Some had complimented the excellent use Opteron could have for web servers due to its integer power, well there, here's a beginning.
Once more, where did you grab from me the idea that they want to supply OEMs?
Jesus Spud, try to quote me right at least. Dell may be an OEM for the server market, but they're not the only people out there to supply complete server PCs! And the server market as stated is not as contingent as the desktop OEM market, you don't just supply a million PCs to companies, ya know? In the desktop world, you're supplying to ONE person's paid money, in the server world a company pays for the whole.
