Intel Corp (INTC)

Seattle has the SeaMicro fabric built-in.

Big frigging deal. It isn't even CC. It is just yet another AMD
proprietary interconnect no one else gives a **** about.

While everybody is looking at minor differences between SPEC and TDP, Seattle can scale way up in dense, power-efficient, high-bandwidth, low-latency, and cost-saving dis-aggregated systems.

Wow, I guess they must be selling a ton of those. Oh wait, AMD
hides SeaMicro sales in with its processor sales and "Computing
Solutions" sales in Q4 were down 9% sequentially and 13% YoY.
Not exactly moving the needle is it?

Avoton is single-socket, and needs all kinds of help if it's to be used in larger systems.

Define larger system. If you mean multi-socket SMT then Intel
already sells far more suitable processors for those kinds of
systems. If you mean box full of tiny independent servers that
can talk over ethernet then Avoton is just fine for that.
