"I would've thought 2 and 4-way systems make up the great majority of x86 server sales."

What is a server sale? Do the Celeron based ones count? If so, then confused might have a point. But he needs to re-evalute his performance metrics.

We don't have any single CPU x86 servers at work. I'd have to say that the vast majority of x86 servers are 2-way and up.

Paul I'm sure you had a chance to see "DARBES" previous comment. This continues to prove my point about many of the posters to this board though I am aware darbes is from si.

My understanding is the 80% or more of the x86 server market it single mpus. I have obtained this information from reading market share reviews over many years. It actually makes sense because up to now x86 machines were used for the most mundane tasks. That isn't to say the machines couldn't do more but that is they way they have been used. It is one of the reasons they can make up 90% of the server units but only about 50% of the revenue. Given these numbers I can't see 2 or even more significantly 4 way x86 servers making up a large share of the x86 server market. It is quite possible I am wrong as I often am but these were the numbers I thought were the most current. I would like to be seen as someone with no axe to grind re AMD and Intel but as you yourself, one of the more moderate posters have observed, it seems that moon shot darbes represents a bigger share of the posters.

It still surprises me that so little investment information appears on an investment board.
