Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

yes, I saw that

But since it was a Dresden college I decided that the whole thing was probably loaded with other factors, especially since SGI was leading the whole thing up. In the end I decided to just note the thing that would be of most interest to the AMD folk and let the readers make up their minds about the rest of the story and its' implications.

While SGI may be cozying up to AMD it doesn't look like it has any plans to dump INTC. We'll have to see how this menage a trois goes. Overall the computer sounds like the sort of thing a senate finance committee would come up with, a little pork for everyone. Not necessarily the best design, but one the committee can agree on.
