Re: The current chipset that is popular is AMD-8000 class, components of which are in use in just about all Opteron servers, Apple G5, and I believe also in IBM's Power blade and HP Transmeta blade.
Apple uses AMD's chipset?
Then there can't be any doubt in anyone's mind that AMD's chipsets must be "insanely great!"
:-)
PS - Intel's chipset folks must be green with envy....
