And as for Intel succeeding by offering additional functionality, what precisely could such functionality be?
Dual-Core CPUs. From Dothan or its successor.
The leading candidate, iHT, seems to be covered by cheap 2P AMD64 systems.
Already? Must have missed that. ;-)
Lessee how many traction Opterons can gain before Intels comes out with dual-cores (at the time Twin Castle chipsets will launch as well). Looking at Intels roadmap, there is not much time for the clock to tick. K.
