Thanks. 2006 will be the time Opteron most probably will be dual core already (90nm). If it works out like this, possible improvements from a clean IA-64-design would come too late to be impressive in my book, even if it is a LV-quad-core CPU:

Too little performance-distance (if at all) to allow making up for a new segment.
