Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

Intel had virtually zero share of the market IPF was targeted at before the Madison I2 was launched. In the two years since it has taken roughly 10% of that much more conservative market
segment.


Me...

The real question is, how much of the mainframe market could INTC have taken if they had an Opteron class product instead of Itanium? I would guess considerably more than 10%. It's hard to imagine INTC with a 64bit, X-86, backwardly compatible processor that scaled well, not being able to capture more than 10% of that market. And don't tell me that's what the sorry excuse for a server, Xeon, is doing. But then that's just me, keep on ranting.
