AMD strictly moderated (AMD)

wbmw,

I think AMD will try to target SPECfp_rate and certain HPC apps as if they were the Achilles Heel of the Xeon MP platform.

Well, the FSB is stell a weakness for Intel. Another tool AMD has (will have) in HPC market is Torrenza. Combination of strong FP capabilities, native quad core, low latency, high bandwidth memory, glueless design and Torrenza make a for a pretty strong arsenal in the HPC market
