Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

[Not a Short]

Let me just put it this way: Newisys was on the right track, but their business model backfired, because their implementation was more expensive than what businesses were willing to pay for AMD based hardware. Let's face it, you can't win a reputation overnight, and people were unwilling to trust Newisys enough for them to recoup their R&D costs.

So are you saying that they did offer all the individual RAS features just not at the right price?

Of course, there is also another problem with AMD's architecture. A lot of the newer RAS features that you will find in systems over the next few years may not be possible using an AMD based system, since the features themselves are built into the memory controller of a new chipset.

ok, now you are jumping to a forward view when the question asked is how does the product available today compare.


So here is the reminder question "WBMW when you got time can you describe the RAS features that an Itanium based server would have and an Opteron based server would not."

Your previous reply was links to entire articles/documents. Are you saying every feature in those links is not available in an Opteron based server?
