Good work, Beamer. The only way to deal with the 'Droids is with the facts.

By every realistic standard, this was a full-featured launch of a new server chip. Besides, I could care less if customers have to wait until July 7th or the 17th before the vendor ships systems. The point is that Intel has opened up the floodgates, and all the 'Droids can bank on now is the hope that Intel will have production problems. Because we already know that Woodcrest beats Opteron hands down in performance and performance/watt. That battle is over before it even begun.

It's a paper launch bud no matter how many ways you try to spin it. Intel, by their own admission, have not even shipped any processors to OEMs yet ! Sorry but I was 100% right and you was 100% wrong ... again ! Heh, like shooting fish in a barrel ;-)

I should go down to see our tech folks to see if we have any Woodcrest servers in our lab.

What do you make of the Indian layoff announcement? The wording
was a bit interesting as there are opinions all over the place
on outsourcing to India.

Please don't all rush to apologise for all the unwarranted abuse I received for daring to speak the truth ;-).
