chipguy, Intel gave away most of those itanics for free
No independant research company has ever been able to verify that Intel sold 100K Itanics in 2003. Intel simply waited to hear how many chips AMD sold and claimed they sold more. Case in point I remember AMD already having sold more Opterons by the end of Q3 last year, than Intel had sold since Itanium was first offered. Intel simply gave them away so your argument is moot. Intel hasn't even sold 100K itaniums as of this date. Intel is just trying to make things look better than they are to try and save face. The reality is AMD is the performance king and Intel is the bumbling fool that can't seem to get anything straight. Intel screwed up big with Prescott as an underperfroming, overheated piece of silicon. And to top it off, AMD is taking more Flash business away from Intel. I can't wait to see what the Intel faithful say as AMD keeps gaining traction with Opteron/AMD64. Looks like AMD is taking Intel to the woodshed.
