AMD better watch out for those dual-core
Itanium Value Chips then.

The $530, 62W, 4.6 GFLOP/s, ~2100 SPECfp_base2k LV
Fanwood I2 is a pretty darn compelling device for HPC cluster
2P building block servers today. There will be a dual core
Montecito variant called LV Millington to replace Fanwood
at a similar price and power point late next year or early 2006
with a very large increase in performance.
