Samsung pretty much hired the entire AMD Bobcat team in-tact in Austin.


Is that so? Didn't realize AMD had already started harvesting vital organs. I thought Bobcat/Jaguar were a critical piece to AMD's strategy going forward. In my opinion, it was the best chance they had to develop a power efficient x86 core going forward. The Bulldozer lineage has very limited opportunity in my mind, as the entire PC business starts shifting to lower power - and if AMD bet on Bulldozer over Bobcat, then they made the wrong call.

Intel's very lucrative Xeon business is a giant target and competitors can attack some holes in the roadmap.


Sure it is, but Intel also seems to be doing a great job in keeping the beachheads firmly closed. If there was ever a micro-server play that Intel could be attacked, they've already serviced that gap with a series of server-tuned Atom processors. Good luck to Samsung, et al, who think it's actually up for grabs.
