Perception in the market is that AMD has the goods.
Those OEMs "not" selling AMD are risking their reputation and credibility in the eyes of the educated customers IMO.
In the most recent CHIP in Germany, there was a 1 page Advert [page 41] from 1&1 ( the biggest ISP in Germany ) offering root servers for rent per month.
The title of the Ad was "1&1 Server - perfect server solutions for companies"
Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz etc. - 69$ pm.
Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz etc. - 99$ pm.
AMD Opteron 148 with 2.2 GHz - 149$ pm.
Also "splashed" in the middle of the page was a large red rectangle with the AMD64-Opteron Logo and the following text :
<<
Neu HighTech Processors!
Now also with AMD Opteron:
- specially developed for server applications
- 64-bit processor
- Hyper Transport Protocol
>>
I might add that MANY others Adverts in the Magazine showed other ISPs offering AMD ranges for their root servers.
..from Sempron to Opterons.
My take on this is that ISPs are VERY "energy"-cost sensitive.
They've obviously done their "energy calculations" correctly on what it costs them to run large server farms using various "solutions".
I also suspect that large corporations have done the same calculations - not so much on "just" energy-costs but on cooling and space requirements.
..which is why I ranted on about the AMD "energy" advantage some weeks/months ago !
***
That 1&1 are advertizing Opterons as their highest-end solution is VERY SIGNIFICANT in my opinion.
AMD couldn't wish for better PR than that IMO !
***
It wouldn't surprise me if the ISP market is the biggest volume-server opportunity for AMD... the cost-saving factor of low-energy, low-cooling, low space AMD solutions is PARAMOUNT to their profit margins !!!
