Elmer: Re: Yes benchmarks look good but it is not at all clear Opteron is manufacturable.
Oh, please. Not that tired old FUD again. Opteron has been "manufacturable" since its release in April. It is simply astounding that you continue to make the claim that a product that has been available on the open market for half a year, is available in both OEM and retail packaging at many sites on Pricewatch, has been chosen for IBM's e325 server, has been included in many, many supercomputer designs, is not manufacturable. The fact that it is being manufactured should be your first clue....
According to some accounts, it is at least 3 or 4 times more "manufacturable" that Itanium.
