Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

By (for a company of their size) quite a bit. Cray's been doing very well ever since they began marketing supercomputers based upon AMD's Opteron.

How can they "do well" financially marketing Opteron based
computers that don't yet exist? You "do well" selling things
or services. Cray has yet to deliver any Opteron system and
after Cray delivers their one-off, built to order government
special they have to then develop it into a commercially
viable product line. BTW, how many mini "spruce goose" planes
did Hughs Aircraft sell based on their infamous one-of-a-kind
government project? Do you think Cray's "Opteron goose" will
do any better in spawning progeny?
