Re: I did say closing in on [Opteron 10% server MSS]. Dual-core should get them that much closer by Q4.

Mas, 5.7% is not "closing in". Maybe dual core will get them there, but what will help them to hold on to that share, or grow from there? Any new technologies in the pipeline, or is 10% the best AMD has to hope for?

The term "closing in" as normally understood by fluent english speakers, generally implies already "being close". There is no way, no how, that 5.7% would be deemed as "closing in" on 10%, by any normal english speaking person. And nobody would suggest that it is so.

Well, almost nobody, I mean.
